Mission Statement

Reinvent Michigan! is a non-partisan coalition of volunteer citizens of the State of Michigan who are dedicated to revitalizing our great state's economy through fundamental political reform. Our goal is to add new energy and life to our legislature by adopting the legislative structure which exists in 46 of our 50 United States, which is a part-time legislature comprised of legislators who spend a significant part of the year working in the real world of ordinary citizens.

All of the work done for Reinvent Michigan! has been on a volunteer basis, including legal work on the petition form and ballot language, press releases and media relations, this web site, email campaigns, and petition signature collection. There are no paid employees or paid signature collectors or major financial backers (individual or corporate). This is truly grass-roots democracy in action.

Please sign the online pledge now, sign the petition in early 2008, and then vote in the November 2008 election to amend our state constitution to finally enact this needed reform of our state government.
