The Process of Recalling the Governor in Michigan 051920…
Each state has it own constitutional provisions and statutes regarding recalling elected officials. Here we explain the process and the things that should be thought about, specifically for the Governor in Michigan.

Governor Whitmer’s mask mandates (via Executive Orders) go into effect today 071020
Executive Orders are not law. Only the legislative branch has been given authority by the people to write laws. Even they do not have the authority to make laws that restrain the people.
“Current COVID-19 regulations stopped the Dorr Business Association from holding the events that will draw people into close-contact. Word came down from the Attorney General at about 3 p.m. Thursday telling the organizers the festivities violate Executive Order 2020-110.” (MI EO 2020-110 can be found here: https://restorefreedomkh.com/EO_2020-110)

Katherine Henry pulled people together and they showed the Township of Dorr that Executive Orders are not law.
“While the business association took a step back, citizens of Dorr and the surrounding communities stepped up, making sure that Saturday’s parade went on as planned.”
Restore Freedom is feeling optimistic.
July 2 at 10:40 PM ·
Good evening everyone! We just heard the news that the Governor’s covid19 response has officially ruined the 4th of July festivities for the Dorr community.
Many events were planned over these four days, but now the business owners who were sponsoring the event have been threatened with tickets and other consequences. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of our Governor’s illegal and unconstitutional executive orders depriving us of our rights!
It’s time to take our state back! So join me for an impromptu Restore Freedom Initiative 4th of July parade, where we are going to exercise our first amendment rights to free speech and to petition our government for a redress of grievances. Come out with your American signage and shirts, bring your friends and family, and sign our petition to Restore Freedom In Michigan by constitutional amendment.
We’re going to save our 4th of July freedom celebrations, take back our state, and restore freedom once and for all!
Parade lineup will begin at 9:30 with the parade starting at 10:00 a.m. We will be using the parade route that was updated and posted by the original organizers earlier this week.
That parade route map will also be shared to our website and our Facebook page shortly. We look forward to seeing you there!
Thank you!
Restore Freedom is NOT with Unlock/Standup Michigan as implied, and Restore Freedom is NOT done collecting signatures as implied by Unlock/Standup Michigan, in their UNSOLICITED email to those on our volunteer lists!
After the announcement that the Restore Freedom Initiative constitutional amendment petition drive was not able to collect enough signatures to make it on the 2020 ballot; and that RFI would continue to push to collect enough signatures to be able to get on the 2022 ballot; an email was sent out by the Unlock Michigan ‘Online Director’ to the Restore Freedom Initiative captains giving the incorrect impression that the email was coming from Restore Freedom and that the Restore Freedom Initiative was done collecting signatures.
“Hey friends –
Thank you for all that you did in your outstanding efforts with Restore Freedom.
These petition drives are hard, and sometimes the clock just runs out on you. But it takes sacrifice and dedication — and I just want to say thank you for all your hard work for freedom. You are appreciated!
I’d like to also personally invite you to be part of this “new” Petition Drive Campaign called Unlock Michigan. We are working very closely with our friends at Stand Up Michigan to restore balance of power and we want you part of this journey with us.
Our petition is one sentence. It will repeal the 1945 emergency powers law that let Gretchen Whitmer rule by decree all these months. We are aiming to get 500,000 signatures in just a few weeks, which when submitted to the Legislature will allow them to pass a law, out of reach of her veto pen. This new law will put her back in balance — and future Governors to come.
Would you be interested in bringing your extensive experience to work in our petition drive effort? If you are interested in being part of our efforts, we would love to have you join us for a Zoom Meeting Thursday Evening.
We are hosting this call for your Restore Freedom Team: we want to honor you and the work you have done by bringing you up to speed on where things are at and how we need your help to proceed.
Would you like to be part of making history with us?
THANK YOU for all that you have done to pave the way to bringing balance back to our government. You have paved the way — and with you we are going to help win a home run!
Let us know if you are interested in being involved with our efforts to Unlock Michigan.
Thank you!
Online Director

From what I can see, State Representatives are NOT very happy with the video I put out yesterday on HB 5672 – at least the 104 of them who voted in favor of allowing courts to mandate employees be microchipped AND severely limiting an employee’s ability to recover damages from an employer who forces them to be microchipped as a condition of employment. Those 104 State Reps voted against our personal freedom guaranteed in the Constitution, instead furthering both government and private sector invasion of our bodies and of our privacy in general. Some, like State Rep Michele Hoitenga, even call themselves things like a “foot soldier for the constitution.”
See my post from today (https://www.facebook.com/katherine.l.henry/posts/10157225539530718), which explains all of this in detail, and shows three images, where I wrote in red the changes they could easily make to turn this bill into something that would actually help employees. Make sure to keep telling your State Reps and State Senators that you oppose the bill’s court order exception and that they must add punitive and statutory damages to the remedies available to employees!
Katherine Henry- Attorney, Freedom Fighter & Defender of the Constitution
References I mentioned in the video I would add: “Punitive damages, which are designed to punish a party for misconduct, are generally not recoverable in Michigan. The exception is if they are expressly authorized by statute.” Casey v Auto-Owners Ins Co, 273 Mich.App. 388, 400 (2006)
Punitive damages “are not compensation for injury. Instead, they are private fines levied by civil juries to punish reprehensible conduct and to deter its future occurrence.” Adair unpublished COA case, citing Int’l Brotherhood of Electrical Workers v Foust, 442 U.S. 42, 52 (1979)
Yet, Michele Hoitenga you voted FOR micro-chipping… Section 3 of HB 5672 allows an employer to fire you for not getting the micro chip implanted if there is a court order directing people to be micro-chipped. Also, section 4 severely limits the amount an employee can recover from an employer who illegally requires them to implant a microchip (no punitive or statutory damages allowed, only “actual damages” proven dollar for dollar by the employee). This is the actual bill … ://www.legislature.mi.gov/…/House/pdf/2020-HEBH-5672.pdf
It is on page 74 & 75 of the legislator’s voting records PDF here: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(z5y41r2ajl1av0h1mjtci1so))/documents/2019-2020/Journal/House/pdf/2020-HJ-06-24-058.pdf?fbclid=IwAR01oN3vdV2SUhBQgMurXMQolVC0oIG-kQOpnSmjxukmNuyDp5xRAjTpNBI
With it’s current language, HB 5672 is HORRIBLE and does NOT protect employees against micro-chipping. Section 3 of HB 5672 allows an employer to fire you for not getting the micro chip implanted if there is a court order directing people to be micro-chipped. Also, section 4 severely limits the amount an employee can recover from an employer who illegally requires them to implant a microchip (no punitive or statutory damages allowed, only “actual damages” proven dollar for dollar by the employee). This is the actual bill … ://www.legislature.mi.gov/…/House/pdf/2020-HEBH-5672.pdf Knowing how hard MVC fights for medical freedom, I am not sure why MVC supports this bill. If they removed subsection 3 of section 3, and added punitive and statutory damages to what an employee may recover in section 4, it would be a good bill. But as it is currently written, it is just awful for medical freedom.
“very concerning that she (me, Katherine) is saying this” … very concerning that I literally read the language of the bill out loud to the people of Michigan and that YOU and the other 103 State Reps that voted for it were called out for voting for it??? “the Microchip Protection Act is about proactively protecting employees”…yet you specifically allow for courts to order people to comply with microchipping AND you make it a huge burden of proof for an employee to be able to recover any damages from their employers for doing this…That does NOT protect employees at all – it severely limits their ability to recover an appropriate amount for an employer requiring them to implant something into their bodies!!!
Michele Hoitenga If you removed subsection 3 of section 3, and added punitive and statutory damages to what an employee may recover in section 4, it would be a good bill. But as it is currently written, it is just awful for freedom. There’s NO good reason for voting YES on it when it’s current language that specifically allows for courts to order people to comply with microchipping AND to make it a huge burden of proof for an employee to be able to recover any damages from their employers for doing this…That does NOT protect employees at all – it severely limits their ability to recover an appropriate amount for an employer requiring them to implant something into their bodies!!! You need to make sure the bill is good BEFORE you vote YES on it.
HB-5672, as passed by the House on June 24, 2020 (Introduced by Reps. Kahle, Reilly, LaGrand and Rendon) is NOT as good as they claim it is! With it’s current language, HB 5672 is HORRIBLE and does NOT protect employees against micro-chipping. Section 3 of HB 5672 allows an employer to fire you for not getting the micro chip implanted if there is a court order directing people to be micro-chipped. Also, section 4 severely limits the amount an employee can recover from an employer who illegally requires them to implant a microchip (no punitive or statutory damages allowed, only “actual damages” proven dollar for dollar by the employee). This is the actual bill: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2019-2020/billengrossed/House/pdf/2020-HEBH-5672.pdf
If they removed subsection 3 of section 3, AND added punitive and statutory damages to what an employee may recover in section 4, it would be a good bill. But as it is currently written, it is just awful for freedom.
The language of the bill states that “An employer may, as a condition of employment, as a condition of employment in a particular position, or as a condition of receiving additional compensation or other benefits, require an employee or prospective employee to comply with a court order that directs the employee or prospective employee to take an action described in subsection (1). [Subsection (1) includes having to:] (a) Implant, or undergo a procedure to implant, a device in the employee’s or prospective employee’s body. (b) Inject, or receive an injection of, a device into the employee’s or prospective employee’s body. (c) Ingest, inhale, or otherwise incorporate a device into the employee’s or prospective employee’s body.”
So, while requiring an individual to implant, inject, or ingest a device is ENTIRELY unconstitutional, the legislature passed this bill ALLOWING employers to force employees to do so, as long as a court has ordered it. So, as long as a court orders this unconstitutional invasion of an individuals’ body, the legislature fully supports it!
Further, the bill only allows for actual damages, Court costs and reasonable attorney fees, and an order enjoining (stopping) further violations. This means that when you are fired for refusing to get a device (microchip, etc.) injected into your body, you can only get the exact amount you can prove you have lost as a direct result of that. Punitive damages (to emphasize to potential violators that this kind of requirement placed on employees will NOT be tolerated), and statutory damages (which is a dollar amount the legislature sets to make it easier for the aggrieved party to collect money damages from an illegal act by the other party – in other words, the aggrieved party only has to show that the other party violated this law, and doesn’t require them to have to prove the specific dollar amount they are out) could easily have been included in this bill, but they were not.
So, not only does the bill allow for the unconstitutional invasion of a person’s body by their employer, but it also severely limits the amount of damages an aggrieved employee may receive when they sue their employer over it.
CALL and EMAIL your state representative AND your state senator to tell them this unconstitutional invasion of our bodies will NOT be tolerated!
