Contact: Sarah Black, (800) 292-2680, ext. 2040

LANSING, Sept. 17, 2010 - While many candidates have the support of Michigan Farm Bureau's (MFB) political action committee, AgriPac, for the Nov. 2 general election, Proposal 1 does not. MFB opposes the ballot proposal which will ask voters to approve a convention for rewriting Michigan's Constitution, and is urging voters to just say "no."

Read why MFB has joined a coalition opposed to the Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) ballot proposal in this news release from July 8: MFB opposes ballot proposal to rewrite state Constitution.

MFB has also unveiled a new Web page devoted to the Con-Con issue. The Constitutional Convention Web page contains background information and other resources to help voters make an informed decision on Proposal 1.
