Re-elect Jennifer Granholm (D-Mi) For Governor

With only 17 days left until Election Day 2006 (Nov 7), it is important to honestly examine Governor Jennifer Granhom's record of accomplishments in the last four years. Something Dick DeVos has failed to do. This election could very well be the most important election not only in the history of the country, but specifically for the state of Michigan. Despite the rantings and incorrect portrayal of Jennifer Granholm's record by challenger Dick DeVos, Jennifer has done more for Michigan than her previous challenger 4 years ago John Engler who, like Dick DeVos, was also a do nothing, bought and paid for Republican. In fact she has successfully trimmed over $4 billion dollars in budget deficits inherited from Engler - more than any governor in the history of the state. Read my post about Devos from September 15th HERE. There have been 3 debates between the two, and DeVos has yet to answer any question directly. As with his hero George Bush, all you hear from this man is doublespeak and totally unfounded attacks against the Governor. From her campaign blog: Even when pressed, Dick DeVos refused to elaborate Read the transcript here - he never answers the questions. All he does is attack the Governor, trying to hold her responsible for the economic challenges which he himself played a part in causing. Meanwhile, Governor Granholm answered the questions directly. Read on..... On jobs, Governor Jennifer Granholm has developed the nation's most comprehensive and aggressive economic plan. Despite the fiscal mess she inherited and the indifference of the administration in Washington, the Governor's $6 billion "Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow" economic plan will create jobs and boost Michigan's economy without sacrificing the quality of life Michiganians deserve. The plan will protect the jobs residents of Michigan have, create new jobs now, jobs needed in the future, and invest in the education and health of Michigan's people. Governor Granholm will create, retain, and "go anywhere and do anything" to grow jobs in Michigan, and she'll fight the policies that would outsource jobs; she puts Michigan first. Click here to see a few examples of Jobs Plan success stories. Considering what she inherited from the previous state administration, and despite the disgraceful economic and employment policies of George Bush and his Republican controlled Congress, Jennifer Granholm has been one of the most successful Governors in the nation. A list of Governor Granholm's accomplishments is available HERE. I would urge you to please vote on November 7th, take along your neighbors and friends and reward Jennifer Granholm by returning her to the Governorship of the state.
