Michigan: Workers, Women, What's Next?
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
These bills will make Michigan one of the most regressive states in the nation in terms of women's health. Michigan. The friendly blue mitten is giving the people a slap in the face. Part of me can't believe it, but part of me believes it too well.

Ohioans Won't Be Fooled By 'Car Guy's' Desperate Car Lies
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
Mitt Romney must realize that he has lost the industrial Midwest because he's completely lost a grip on reality. He's decided to throw a Hail Mary pass that will cause his already-struggling campaign to implode in Ohio.

The Change We Don't Need
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
Now, Mitt Romney said in his economic speech today he's about "real change/big change" and the president, he says, is about "the status quo." But the growth of government spending is the lowest it's been in 60 years, since President Eisenhower.

Reality Check, Gov. Romney, Detroit Doesn't Forget
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
Mitt Romney has the nerve to argue that his plan for the industry in his now-famous New York Times op-ed piece, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," was the plan that the Obama administration eventually did: a managed bankruptcy.

By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...

By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
Mr. President, when you walk on stage in the next debate I would like to hear you say that the choice is not just about whose tax plan you like or who has the better health care strategy. It's much more fundamental than that. This is a choice about our national character.

Mr. President: My Plea For the DNC
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
This past week, self-glorification trumped common national vision. The "I" conquered the "we." Next week Democrats have to boldly counter this anti-"we" zeal. We want you, Mr. President, to remind us that we are part of something bigger.

By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
If you're outraged about Akin's comments, you should be outraged by the entire Republican establishment. But let's just start here and go one man at a time: if Akin is drummed from the Senate race, Ryan should go, too.

Not Voting? The Koch Brothers Thank You
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
If you're staying at home because you're disgusted by the negative tone of the campaign; or you believe both sides run the same vile, lying, attack ads; or because you're turned off by politics: Congratulations, you are fulfilling someone else's agenda. You are following their plan to the letter.

Madame Voldemort Is Wrong: Public Employees Are American Heroes
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
She said this about public employees: "Government jobs, we're for losing government jobs." Well, guess what: Those NASA scientists hold government jobs. Officer Murphy has one of those awful government jobs. A huge number of nurses, teachers, and our soldiers are public employees.

Tea Party: Thank You for Your Insanity
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
Whether it's their Sharia law and birther conspiracies or their unwillingness to buck Grover Norquist's no-tax pledge, the Tea Partiers have hijacked their party and carried it all the way to the right.

Romney and Bain Didn't Become Successful "On Their Own" Either!
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
Romney is taking advantage of the government's "free stuff," too, and has been profiting from it handsomely for a long, long time -- even as he rails about the "free stuff" that the government provides other people.
POLITICS
Why Bain Capital Matters
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
Bain Capital took jobs away, closed companies, devastated communities. And to add insult to injury, Mitt Romney made millions off those empty desks, foreclosed homes, displaced families and shattered dreams.

Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
Sadly, the ads that the billionaires are buying work. Otherwise they wouldn't invest. And be clear, that's what this is. An investment, and billionaires know it's a wise investment. So imagine the return they expect on their massive investment in buying a president.

By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
Caring for veterans shouldn't be a partisan issue. It should an American one. We must remember them, as a nation, through a commitment to treat our living veterans as well as they have treated us.

Voter Suppression Is Treasonous
By Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Contributor
Former Governor of Michigan; Senior Adviser, Correct The Recor...
It is an affront to our democracy that you need a specific identification to vote for a candidate, but not to finance one. Why is it so easy to buy a government, but becoming so hard to vote for one?
