Reform opponents are attempting to prevent Michiganders from voting on the initiative by keeping it off the November ballot. The \u201cVoters Not Politicians\u201d proposal would create a citizen commission to redraw congressional and state legislative districts after the census each decade.\r\n\r\nThe brief focuses on the problems of abusive partisan gerrymanders by both Democratic and Republican controlled legislatures across the country, legal challenges to partisan gerrymanders, and the success of citizen-driven redistricting reforms across the country, including successful citizens commissions similar to the one proposed in Michigan.\r\n\r\n\u201cVoters around the country are rising up against the scam of partisan gerrymandering,\u201d said L'ancien gouverneur Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/strong>. \u201cWhile entrenched\u00a0partisan\u00a0interests from both sides defend the status quo of politicians picking their voters instead of voters choosing their politicians, citizens in many states are saying enough is enough. California\u2019s independent redistricting commission has given our voters more confidence in their\u00a0representation, and voters in Michigan - and every state around the country - should have the same right to demand fair maps.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cPartisan gerrymandering undermines our democracy by reducing bipartisan cooperation and increasing public cynicism about the political process,\u201d said l'ancien s\u00e9nateur Carl Levin<\/strong>. \u201cI endorsed the Voters Not Politicians ballot initiative to give Michiganders a voice in assuring fair representation. More than 425,000 citizens signed petitions to place this important initiative on the ballot, so I sincerely hope the Michigan Supreme Court will give voters a chance to fix our broken redistricting process.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cIn a democracy, voters should be choosing politicians and politicians should have no business handpicking their voters,\u201d said Karen Hobert Flynn, pr\u00e9sidente de Common Cause<\/strong>. \u201cMichigan voters should have the choice on Election Day to remove politicians from the redistricting process and make the drawing of congressional and legislative districts a process of, by, and for the people. Voters understand the system is broken and they should be given the opportunity to choose \u2018Voters Not Politicians\u2019.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cCitizens across the country have grown tired of waiting for Congress to fix the problem of partisan gerrymandering and they have taken matters into their own hands by passing reforms from California to Florida,\u201d said Kathay Feng, directrice nationale du red\u00e9coupage des circonscriptions de Common Cause<\/strong>. \u201cCommon Cause has played an integral role in many of the fights to pass reforms in the states and we will continue to do so going forward.\u201d\r\n\r\nGov. Schwarzenegger, Sen. Levin, and Common Cause are represented by Emmet J. Bondurant and Benjamin W. Thorpe of Bondurant Mixon & Elmore and Jonathan B.
