Castle Doctrine - Governor Signature Update

Michigan from about 200 miles above. Yes, that's Canada south of Detroit.
Sorry, my castle isn't visible in this picture.

By law, the Castle Doctrine package must be signed by Governor Granholm no later than July 20 - two weeks after both the House and Senate passed the package. All Michigan citizens interested in protecting their right to self-defense must contact the Governor's office and let her know you support the bills.

She is expected to sign the bills, after all, it is an election year. Even if she doesn't, over 80% of legislators approved the package, so it is virtually veto-proof.

But silence and inactivity from Castle Doctrine supporters is absolutely inexcusable. Groups are working around the clock to keep the Governor from signing this bill. Take the few minutes to contact our Governor now, or spend months and thousands of dollars working out your self-defense legal troubles later.

And don't forget why Michigan's Castle Doctrine bill is called the Dr. Ossian Sweet Self-Defense Act. It's a long-established historical fact: People need to defend themselves against hateful brutes.
