Governor Granholm: When Women Lead, Women Win

Governor Granholm attended a fundraiser at the Flint home of Rosanne and Steve Heddy last night. The theme of the event was “Women in Charge: When Women Lead, Women Win”.

Some interesting facts about the Governor:

Governor Granholm is the first female Governor for Michigan

She has appointed more women to cabinet positions than any other Michigan Governor.

She implemented the “Plan First” program which improves health care for women in this state
and provides preventive care and family planning services to more Michigan women

She understands the importance of affirmative action to women in this state and opposes the so-called Michigan Civil Rights Initiative that would end programs that currently provide incentives for women in business and education.

Thanks to Kristi Bartholomew for reporting this and getting these shots for us.

And please please please Vote NO! on 2!

It seems a little cynical to me that when women lead, women win. I don’t see any reason why women can’t win when men are in charge or why men can’t win with women in charge.

Question: When is exclusionary language not exclusionary?

Answer: When a feminist uses exclusionary language.

I ask the women of Michigan: Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?

Yep, and we’ll be even better off after another 4 years of Granholm’s leadership.

Stick a fork in Dick. He’s done.
