Thank you so much for supporting our suit against Bill Schuette's office! Your pledge helps a great deal in our fight to create true accountability for Michigan citizens. We wanted to give our supporters an important update on our case.

The deadline for Attorney General Bill Schuette to respond to our lawsuit is May 18 – this Thursday! This is one of the most important days in our case so far – it will either result in new information related to our requests or it will provide insight into the Attorney General's office's legal strategy for this case. Regardless of what is unveiled on Thursday, we need to make sure we have the resources available to immediately respond in whatever manner our attorney feels is necessary.

If you've already pledged to the case, we know you care about what we're doing – and we need your continued support now to make sure we hit our goal. Here's how you can help:

1. Tell 5 people about this case! Please share our CrowdJustice case link with 5 friends or colleagues and ask them to support our cause. Tell them Michigan ranks dead last in transparency and ethics and Progress Michigan is fighting like hell to change that with the resources that we're able to collect from allies like you. The most important thing is to share the link to our case page – here it is: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/schuette/
2. Consider doubling your pledge. If we don't hit our $7,000 goal, WE DON'T RECEIVE ANY OF THE MONEY PLEDGED. It would make an enormous difference to our efforts if you could double your pledge right now!

We truly appreciate your support – your participation in this process is what's going to make us succeed in Michigan!
