Endorsement for Governor of Michigan: Jennifer Granholm

I highly endorse Governor Granholm for reelection to be the Governor of Michigan. She has established a clear 5 point plan for moving Michigan forward which encompasses jobs, healthcare, public safety, education and the environment. I believe she is moving forward on all fronts and just last week in Benton Harbor she outlined the work being done to grow (not just retain) jobs in the Benton Harbor area and highlighted both American Axle and Toyota bringing jobs to Michigan.

Yes, the American auto companies are reeling in pain right now but that is hardly her issue. She is on the path to diversify Michigan's economy from automotive while taking advantage of the automotive skills we have and showing that value to the new winners, companies like Toyota.

Her competitor on the other hand has a history of moving jobs overseas and building a company which is basically a pyramid scheme to help very wealthy people get even more wealthy while the average "worker" in Amway actually buys more than they sell. I met Dick Devos at a football game (he had bought hundreds of tickets to our local high school football game and was handing them out at the game) and I just felt like he was another "slick" Republican. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

I will continue to support Governor Granholm as I believe in her ability to think through issues and solve them. I look forward to her success.
