The Michigan Department of State recently announced a
signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Small Business Administration “to promote civic engagement and voter registration in Michigan.” The agreement, according to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman is a “first-of-its-kind collaboration” for the federal agency. It is expected to run through Jan. 1, 2036. That is, if legal challenges can’t stop the apparently unconstitutional “understanding.”
“Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy. Like voting, they play a direct role in improving people’s lives,” the swing state’s leftist secretary of state, who fancies herself as a defender of democracy, said in a
press release. “I’m proud we are working with the Small Business Administration for this first-in-the-nation effort connecting Michigan’s small business community with the tools and information they need to play an even greater active role in our democracy.”
Guzman insists that weaponizing the full force of the federal government to turn out voters for President Joe Biden and his big government allies is all about “protecting and strengthening our democracy.” The federal bureaucrat believes registering voters is suddenly the purview of the Small Business Administration.
“Through this memorandum of understanding, the SBA will help connect Michiganders to vital voter registration information from the State of Michigan so that more small business owners can exercise their right to vote,” Guzman said in a
release. “Small businesses are busy working on and in their businesses, and by meeting them where they are — on our website and at our small business outreach events — we can help facilitate voter registration and civic engagement so their voices are heard.”
Biden’s 14019 ‘Sounds Harmless’
Michigan’s partnership with the SBA is part of Biden’s
Executive Order 14019. Election integrity advocates have dubbed the order “Bidenbucks” — a nod to “
Zuckerbucks” rolled out in the 2020 election.
Signed within months of the Democrat’s narrow victories in election-deciding battleground states like Michigan, the executive order is benignly painted as “promoting access to voting.” It’s ultimately designed to employ government to recruit voters for one political party.
As Tarren Bragdon, president of the Foundation for Government Accountability, wrote in a
2022 column in The Federalist, the order “directs all federal agencies to do what they can to increase voter registration and turnout, including by working with a select group of third-party organizations ‘approved’ by the White House.”
“Sounds harmless on its face, until you consider the fact that it is being carried out by political appointees whose job security literally depends on Democrats being reelected in 2022 and 2024, and that the person charged with collecting the plans and leading this effort is President Joe Biden’s domestic policy advisor, Susan Rice,” Bragdon wrote.
