Jennifer Granholm

Fire, Somebody, Feet

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.

Jennifer Granholm

Experience, Integrity, Words

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.
Jennifer Granholm

Person, Democracy, Support

We can't equate spending on veterans with spending on defense. Our strength is not just in the size of our defense budget, but in the size of our hearts, in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And that's not just measured in words or gestures.
Jennifer Granholm

Strength, Gratitude, Words

As the Republicans run to the crazy Tea Party right, they leave behind the huge mass of genuinely moderate and independent Americans that make up the majority of voters. The ones that used to consider themselves now-extinct moderate Republicans. They're up for grabs. And the Democrats have to grab them!
Jennifer Granholm

Crazy, Used, Themselves

Jennifer Granholm

Change, Made, Old

Jennifer Granholm

Life, Children, After

Jennifer Granholm

High, President, Blaming
