A small town in Michigan has given the CCP-bought township board the boot following its continued commitment to allow the CCP to build a battery plant in the town under the condition that it must adhere to the standards of the Chinese Communist Party. The town is called Green Township and it just recalled and replaced 5 of its 7 board members, after 2 had already resigned, leaving none of the CCP-supporting seditionists in positions of power in the town.
The board had voted unanimously in 2020 to approve the building of the battery plant under the auspices of Gotion, a Silicon-Valley-based company whose parent company is owned by the Chinese Communist Party. The vote received an immediate backlash, one that has been ignored, until now.
While opposition steadily grew, the board chose to ignore residents’ concerns, but eventually the pressure was too much for at least two of the board members resigned rather than continue to face the backlash. Following their resignation, the community produced enough signatures to trigger a recall election, with every single board member voted out.
From The Blaze:
While the spread of communism may sound far-fetched, corporate documents explicitly require Gotion to “set up a party organization and carry out party activities in accordance with the constitution of the Communist Party of China” and “ensure necessary conditions for carrying out party activities.”
“China is our number-one enemy!” one angry resident yelled at a board meeting last spring.
“My family members fought communism, and you’re bringing it right here,” said another.
Over the past several months, Green Charter residents amassed enough signatures to force a recall election for board members, who otherwise would face re-election in 2024.
Tensions between board members and residents reached such a peak this year that two board members, James Peek and Gary Todd, already resigned their positions. On Tuesday, more than 1,000 Green Charter residents showed up to cast their ballots to oust the other five: Trustees Dale Jernstadt and Roger Carroll; Clerk Janet Clark; Treasurer Denise MacFarlane; and Supervisor James Chapman.
Jason Kruse defeated Chapman with a whopping 60% of the vote, and Jeff Thorne defeated Jernstadt with 62%. By comparison, Kelly Cushway’s 57% victory over Carroll looks relatively close. Corri Riebow beat Clark for the clerk position with 53%, and Robert Henderson also received 53% to beat MacFarlane for the treasurer spot.
Bill Stanek, the supervisor of nearby Big Rapids Township, also lost a recall vote to challenger Carman Bean.
What the board members of this small town attempted to do to their citizens, selling them out in exchange for CCP cash, is going on right now across our country, from the highest level of office, starting with the King of foreign cash grift himself, Joe Biden, on down to many other local boards, including school boards, willing to take cash for CCP influence over the American people.
Our nation is filled with CCP employees disguised as American politicians, and it’s a problem endemic throughout both major political parties.
