Trump-loving & oil-loving state senator proposing sneaky bill to make protesting a felony.

Now Ferndale Senator Doug Ericksen wants a law that would make protests a class C felony, if they become what he calls “economic terrorism.”

Please write your state rep(s) against this bill. Seems ironic that several states are all enacting similar anti-protest bills at a time when the citizens are rallying and protesting against the current fascist government! This senator, unfortunately, my very own, wants to label protesters as “economic terrorists.” "Economic terrorism" could be applied to walking across a parking lot or anything else that could be construed as interfering with businesses, etc. It's just a sneaky way to quash demonstrations.
