Big Dog backs Granholm and Stabenow...

Granholm For Governor: President Clinton and Governor Granholm Rally Supporters in Detroit President Clinton and Governor Granholm Rally Supporters in DetroitSaturday, November 4, 2006 By: Campaign Release "Putting Michigan First Express" Rolls Through Southeast Michigan and Flint DETROIT – Governor Jennifer M. Granholm took her “Putting Michigan First Express” bus tour to Detroit today, joining President Bill Clinton at a rally at Wayne State University on Saturday morning. Hundreds of supporters packed Mattheia Athletic Center just three days before Election Day. Lt. Governor John Cherry, U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow and Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick also headlined the event. President Clinton entered the room to a standing ovation. He energized the crowd and encouraged everyone to get-out-the-vote. He also spoke about the Governor Granholm’s aggressive economic plan to turn the economy around and applauded Governor Granholm’s effort to make health care more affordable for every family and improve education for our kids. President Clinton also talked about the importance of defeating Proposal 2, which would ban affirmative action in Michigan. Governor Granholm has been a vocal opponent of the proposal, which she has called neither civil, nor right. She has been a staunch advocate for diversity in the workplace and in classrooms. She has made it clear that there is no room in Michigan’s Constitution for any amendments that would put up the barriers civil rights leaders have fought for decades to tear down. At the rally, Governor Granholm introduced President Clinton and inspired the audience by sharing stories from the campaign trail and defining what’s at stake in this election. Governor Granholm was joined onstage by several people who she has met during her “Putting Michigan First Express” bus tour. “Over the past four years, I’ve traveled from St. Ignace to St. Antoine Street here in Detroit and all along the way I’ve met some amazing people. We can all find strength and hope in their stories,” Governor Granholm said. Governor Granholm has consistently fought for the City of Detroit and has blocked multiple attempts by the Republican-controlled legislature that singled out the city for unfair treatment. She vetoed the Republican-led Detroit Water Board takeover and stopped an effort to cut $11.3 million from Wayne State University’s budget. In addition, she vetoed a Republican bill that would have prevented Detroit from taking advantage of $100 million in federal funding for mass transit. After the rally, Governor Granholm took her “Putting Michigan First Express” to Flint, where she was met by a packed house of supporters at the Flint Coordinated Campaign Office. At the rally the Governor highlighted the differences between her and Dick DeVos and thanked supporters for all the work they are doing on her behalf. “As we head into the final three days of this race, the choice between me and my opponent is clear,” Governor Granholm said. “I will fight for all of our citizens, while he will protect special interests at your family’s expense.” On Sunday, the Governor will continue her “Putting Michigan First Express” bus tour. She will attend several church services in the Detroit area and attend a campaign stop in Royal Oak. To be fair to the other side the Amway Dick had Rudy Giuliani at his side, I don't want to tell people who they should or shouldn't have stomping for them but come on Dick it's not 2001 anymore so why do you have Giuliani there? He butched his paid statement of support and he lost much of his "political" impact from explotting 9.11 for Republicans. Using Rudy Giuliani is like using a used up battery in a remote control you might get few more flicks out of it but no more, and Rudy has used up his last flicks two years ago. I could understand if you got your buddy George W. Bush to speak for you I wouldn't hold nothing against you if you had the decider there with his sleeves rolled up holding onto the microphone like it was no tomorrow rambling on about how if Granholm is re-elected Bin Laden wins or something like that. I could understand that better than getting Rudy who's making a living off 3,000 dead people. But I did notice one thing during the two rallies when you saw the Granholm rally it was filled and loud, then when the news show the Amway Dick rally it look like it was held in someone's basement because the room looked small as he tries to jam in many supporters for the camera. Which might leads me to this question do anyone of you out there believes the Amway Dick has the supporters as the Michigan Republicans and Michigan media makes us to believe? One more question and this goes to the Amway Dick supporters (if they really exist) if Dick claim he didn't want Bush to rally for him because he wanted things to focus on the state level instead of nationally why is Rudy Giuliani here in Michigan? Last time I check Rudy isn't from Michigan.
