Vote NO on Prop 2! Mackinac Center suggests that Prop 2 would limit journalists’ ability to freely cover candidates:
“Proposal 2, known as Mop Up Michigan, has been aimed at politicians and utilities but will hit journalists and other nonprofits that post election content.
While the groups that support the proposal focus their messaging on getting “money out of politics” by targeting utility companies, the proposal would affect even nonprofits and media that rarely engage in public policy.
Michigan’s Proposal 2 could require news organizations and nonprofits to report spending and disclose donor information for communications that mention political candidates, even when the messages do not advocate for or against them.”
With voter approval, proposal would force new disclosure rules on free speech
