Those who purify your water, inspect your meat, and test your kids toys, as well as a huge number of nurses, teachers, and our soldiers, are public employees. The firefighters who don't hesitate to rush toward danger while you run away from it - they are all public employees.
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
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
If you don't have an auto industry, you will not be secure as a nation because you won't have a backbone like manufacturing to be able to put people to work in producing the means to you keep you secure.
Jennifer Granholm
California is beautiful to look at, but you can't be a part of it like you can in Michigan.
Jennifer Granholm
In five years, you're going to be blown away by the strength and diversity of Michigan's transformed economy.
Jennifer Granholm
We're on the cusp, on the brink, of enormous change in this country.
Jennifer Granholm
The Kerry campaign was a difficult one to be involved with, it is a real juggling act to set the tone and pace of these things accurately.
Jennifer Granholm

Jennifer Granholm
I urge you to be bold. Life isn't changed from the balcony. Get onto the floor and dance, dance, dance.

Voter suppression laws, overzealous filibuster use, you name it - the Republicans use every tactic they can to stop our democracy from actually selecting the person with the most support.
