Many original occupiers believe the political system has become so corrupt that even participating in it, engaging with it, corrupts the movement. I understand what they are saying.

America is an idea. And it's the solemn responsibility of each 'temporary' president to protect and nurture that noblest of all ideas - with integrity. This man, Mitt Romney, has shown - not through his experience, but through his actions and words - that he is unqualified to carry out that responsibility.

If you are tired of partisanship over patriotism, you need to vote for a change in direction.
Jennifer Granholm
We're on the cusp, on the brink, of enormous change in this country.
Jennifer Granholm
We need to be celebrating those who serve us rather than mocking them for the purpose of getting on TV and selling some books.

When I was fresh out of law school, I had a burning desire to do something important, to have an impact in some way, but I didn't know what it was.
Jennifer Granholm
Public service used to be the highest of callings, until people like Madame Voldemort vilified it.
Jennifer Granholm
Do we want in this nation to lose the backbone of manufacturing in this country? Do we want to be a nation that doesn't want to manufacture anything?
Jennifer Granholm
There's more technology in your car than there is in your computer. It's got thousands of parts in it. It's extremely sophisticated, all that robotics.

From a reality perspective, I'm sure part of that is true, but this is the largest blackout in U.S. history. If that is not a signal that we have got a problem that needs to be fixed, I don't know what is.
Jennifer Granholm
With Michigan's economic future on the line, we can't afford to have our 500 local school districts marching in different directions. Instead, we need a high standards, mandatory curriculum to get all our students on the road to higher education and a good paying job.
Jennifer Granholm
I have not made any suggestions about climate change. This is more about blending or shifting the conversation about the environment versus the economy. It's just such an old, outdated conversation.
Jennifer Granholm
We need to continue to make the case that Michigan is where you ought to be.

Those who devote their lives to serving our country, children, and neighborhoods are giving back. They have answered the call to serve.
