7. Then take Michigan back from those that manipulate the vote...
Wed Nov 22, 2017, 02:55 PM
Nov 2017

those that make it harder to vote to keep you from voting, those that gerrymander your state, those that appoint emergency management czars to defund and deconstruct the municipal governments in your state. Michigan and Wisconsin are two states that I never thought to see red in my lifetime...Michigan progressives should be ashamed of this, as should all progressives that have let this happen in 'their' states. Flint is just a taste of what is to come from the Republicans if you let them continue down this path of dismantling all the agencies that protect us from the corporate predators...and from their retaliation for not kneeling down before them and accepting their administration of lies. They will do to Michigan what they have done to Kansas and Iowa...flush your state's economy down the crapper.

I still remember that high school for unwed mothers (Benton Harbor?) closed down by the new carpetbaggers...for shame.
