We're on the cusp, on the brink, of enormous change in this country.
Jennifer Granholm
Studies have shown that since women have had access to the pill and family planning measures, they have made huge gains in both wages and in careers that were dominated by men.
Jennifer Granholm
I'm honestly perplexed about the distinction represented by the cervical wall. On one side, people should be prosecuted if they do anything to harm the fetus, but once on the outside, sorry kid, whatever happens happens. You're on your own.
Jennifer Granholm
America needs to be able to be energy-independent, and the electric vehicle, the battery technology is one way of getting there.
Jennifer Granholm
I was approached by friends who encouraged me to run for an open seat - attorney general of Michigan. It was a big risk.
Jennifer Granholm
Don't mistake niceness for weakness.
Jennifer Granholm
I love the protest signs protected by the First Amendment - some of them humorous, some of them passionate, some factual, some entirely incorrect - all of them free ideas.
Jennifer Granholm
It may be tempting to look back and wring our hands over missed opportunities for change in the preceding decades. But, I'm not interested at looking in the rearview mirror except to learn.
Jennifer Granholm
The Clinton administration brought 65 cases from 1995 to 2000 before the World Trade Organization. The Bush administration has brought twelve. Twelve cases. They haven't even been able to stand up for our jobs.
Jennifer Granholm
Concentrating wealth in the hands of the few and deregulating financial institutions and practices lead to speculative bubbles that eventually burst — and that brings the whole country down.
Jennifer Granholm
Today in America we are no more post-racial than we are post-partisan. We have a long way to go.
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.
Jennifer Granholm
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.
Jennifer Granholm
Thank you for the opportunity for the Democratic Party and progressives to reclaim the votes of the sane citizens of these United States.
Jennifer Granholm
I say Democrats should not be afraid to talk about the morality of life, of caring for children who are born. It seems the Republican obsession with being pro-life lasts about nine months. After that, it’s each baby for herself.
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, first of all, for there to be accountability, for there to be somebody who is responsible for enforcing standards and holding people's feet to the fire.
Jennifer Granholm
We aren't leveraging this great economic engine, the strongest economy in the world. And yet we have this totally weak response. We import $500 billion a year more in products than we export.
Jennifer Granholm
Public service used to be the highest of callings, until people like Madame Voldemort vilified it.
Jennifer Granholm
The question is what will Mitt Romney do as president if his policy is simply to be hands off and let the government be made so small it can be drowned in a bathtub. In the 21st century global economy, no state alone has the ability to compete against China.
