00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.799
I got this message from pastor Ralph Freeman is running
2
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:05.040
for governor here in Michigan. Of course you know the
3
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:11.759
signature Sinanigan's pastor rebat with this right now. It's really
4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.519
interesting to me. Last week you went through the process
5
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.160
border canvassers. They did not put you on the ballot.
6
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.120
You had put in. I guess it was over eighteen thousand.
7
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:24.320
You need fifteen thousand to be on. Correct me if
8
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.359
I'm wrong here on these numbers. I'm just doing it
9
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.559
by a memory. Now. They took a sample. This is
10
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.199
how they decided that they would just call it. They
11
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.079
took a sample from your signatures and they said, out
12
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.799
of this sample, there's a percentage that didn't line up
13
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.759
according to them, and they said, we're gonna throw them
14
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:46.240
all out because we took a sample. Something doesn't seem
15
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.079
right there. And I think that seems like the point
16
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:49.320
you made welcome.
17
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.479
In, Thank you, That is exactly right. And the bottom
18
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.159
line is Can's four unelected bureaucrats who sit on the
19
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:04.239
board of Canvassers override eighteen thousand signatures fill in Michigan
20
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.680
who want their voices heard. And that's that's the bottom
21
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.840
line here. And the history of this whole sampling thing,
22
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.760
justin is even absurd because they put it in the
23
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.920
Board of the Burea of Elections put in their policy
24
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.159
manual the stampling process. Then they realize that they can't
25
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.040
enforce that unless they have legislative approval, because the Board
26
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.719
of canvassers, I'm sorry, the Burea of Elections cannot make law.
27
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.560
And so they sent it to the Democratic House, Democratic Senate,
28
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.840
and I think it was twenty twenty twenty four, and
29
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.840
the Senate in the House said, sure, we'll write a bill.
30
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.640
It's House Bill five five seven to one through five
31
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.719
five seven five. Will write this bill. We'll send it
32
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.120
to the Governor's office. She'll approve it and will then
33
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.760
have the authority to just look at seven hundred and
34
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.200
fifty signatures on nominating petitions. Well, they did that. They
35
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.959
sent it to Governor Whitmer's desk, and in January of
36
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.200
twenty twenty five she vetoed it. He vetoed it. So
37
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:11.560
the bottom line is this the Bureau of Elections, which
38
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:16.000
is under Benson, the Secretary of State, she's basically snubbing
39
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:21.120
Whitmer's veto, which says we need to have every signature
40
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.680
looked at. I mean, I have the letter that Whitmer
41
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.080
sent to the legislators saying this is not right. She said,
42
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.000
this will never become law. There's already distrust in the
43
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.120
election process, and we need to make sure that we
44
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:39.919
examine every signature. Not only that, but Jonathan Brader, who's
45
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.400
in charge of the Bureau of Elections, stated in twenty
46
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.439
twenty two during that fiasco that we look at every signature.
47
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.280
I mean, they've shot themselves in the foot in both ways,
48
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.400
and I can't believe that anybody in their right mind
49
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:56.879
would think this is fair.
50
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.000
So what's the next step for you.
51
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.319
Well, we filed with the Court of Appeals and we
52
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.400
filed an emergency injunction emergency motion saying we need an
53
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.879
answer before June fifth, and our hope is they will
54
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.280
give us an answer by tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.
55
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.879
If they reject our information, we're ready to go to
56
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:24.240
the Michigan Supreme Court, which would be another emergency filing. Fortunately,
57
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.400
we're running out of time. But if your audience would
58
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.800
pray that these folks are whoever sitting on the Appeals
59
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.319
Board would have an open mind to just say yeah,
60
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.240
this is right. This doesn't make sense if Justin they
61
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.400
run out the clock on us. I'm going to take
62
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.080
this to the Court of claims and I'm going to
63
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.439
assume them for all the money that our campaign has
64
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.479
invested in this race, because it is not legal, it's
65
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.000
not fair, and I would bet a jury of my
66
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.719
peers would say, you guys screwed Ralph over.
67
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.280
Ralph freebat And again, if folks want to connect with
68
00:03:58.319 --> 00:03:59.680
you online, what's the best way to do that?
69
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:06.039
Ralph rebance for governor dot com? Rebance for governor dot com.
70
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.439
You can spell it out or you can just with
71
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:08.280
the number four.
72
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.199
There you go, Ralph, Thank you. I appreciate the adds
73
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:16.120
up that what you're saying to me to me lines up.
74
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:16.560
Uh.
75
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.360
And we've got to get this whole signature thing under
76
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.600
control because it seems to me like anyway it's being
77
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.800
used as a as a weapon in this this whole thing,
78
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.199
and uh, not just in your your case, in your situation,
79
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.120
but in previous years as well. And we've got to
80
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.160
get that back on track. Thank you, my friend, appreciate.
81
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.319
Your appreciate it. Thanks j justinulator you too.
82
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:39.959
