(WWJ) A protest against Michigan's Stay-At-Home order is scheduled this morning in Lansing, and this one has a twist: Instead of at the state capitol, it will be at the governor's mansion.
"Operation Queens Castle" -- organized by a group called West Michigan Politics -- will feature a visual one won't soon forget, the float convoy known as the "Trump Unity Bridge."
In a statement the group says, "We are protesting near the Wolverine Queens taxpayer funded castle to peacefully advocate for re-opening Michigan immediately, said Brandon Hall, Managing Editor of West Michigan Politics. We also want to ask her why she does not follow her own order and Stay Home, Stay Safe." The governor has been giving live daily media briefings from Lansing, and has made appearances via video conferencing on national shows including MSNBC, The Today Show, and Good Morning America.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-staffer-brandon-hall-michigan-guilty-election-fraud-a7449046.html
A man who worked on Donald Trumps campaign in Michigan has been found guilty on 10 counts of election fraud. Brandon Hall, a political activist, forged signatures on petition forms in 2012 and now faces up to five years in prison.
The 27-year-old from Grand Haven, along with his friend Zachary Savage, forged signatures in support of judicial candidate Chris Houtaling.
Mr Savage received immunity from charges by the Attorney Generals Office in exchange for his testimony in this case, according to Grand Haven Tribune.
The High Court overturned the Michigan Court of Appeals and Hall was charged with felony, despite his defence arguing he should face misdemeanour charges due to a statement printed on the petitions.

3. He Runs a Pro-Trump Politics Blog
Brandon Hall describes himself as a lifelong political nerd on the politics blog he runs, West Michigan Politics.
Although Hall has not updated his blog since October, the website was extremely pro-Trump, with many of his recent posts being Michigan polls showing Trump ahead and anti-Hillary Clinton stories. In October, he wrote about accusations that the Democratic National Committee had engaged in voter fraud. He has also frequently complained about media bias on his blog, particularly after the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
By not getting caught in a single moment that can be singled out as horrendously bad, and looking presidential throughout, Trump wins what was essentially a tie debate, Hall wrote. The dishonest media spin afterwards carrying water for Hillary acting like she had a huge win was as sad as it was pathetic!
Hall predicted several times that Hillary Clinton would underperformed in Michigan just as she underperformed in the states Democratic primary. This ended up being correct, with Donald Trump surprising pundits by turning Michigan red on November 8th.
4. He Was Previously Convicted of Stealing From a School Fundraiser
This is not the first time Hall was in trouble with the law. In 2010, he was convicted of stealing from a Grand Haven school fundraiser, according to The Independent.
At this time, Hall was a member of the Grand Haven school board, although he resigned after being accused of theft. This is how he came to know Chris Houghtaling, who was also a member of the school board and for whom Hall would go on to forge signatures two years later.
Hall was ultimately convicted of this misdemeanor. He unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the Grand Haven school board four years later. He also unsuccessfully ran for the Michigan House of Representatives earlier this year, being defeated in the Republican primary.

They are playing with fire.
Anything threatening or abusive towards the Governor will NOT be taken well by
the vast majority here, and no doubt across the country.
