West Michigan is a part of me. And the community is a part of America, that I love.
Michigan, a U.S. state in the Midwest, began with settlement of the western Great Lakes region by Native Americans founded a settlement called Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, now the city of Detroit.When New France was defeated in 1805, when the Territory of Michigan was established.the spirit which its community has never disappeared from or from America.
From the Motor City , to Beer City . I come here #West Michigan today to summon those same qualities of courage and strength and determination to the conquest of America's new Michigan- Michigan has a new beginning and we call it here together #Clear Michigan.
Michigan is one of the strongest states , largest national resources “The Great Lakes”We are - perhaps the greatest and strongest in the history of the world. But greatness and strength are not our natural right. They are not gifts which are automatically ours forever. Our community has the tools the courage and determination however to maintain the standards ,we must maintain it or it will be taken away.
West Michigan community are tired of standing still - and that we do not intend to be left behind.
But effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction. For, as Socrates told us, "If a man does not know to what port he is sailing, no wind is favorable."
But today we Democrats know to what port we are sailing - we have mapped our destination and we know what kind of community we want.
Today our economy is growing more slowly than that of almost any other industrial nation in the world. We have more than 4 thousands unemployed - small businesses are failing at a record rate - our affordable health care is at a loss, our future of poverty and distress on our farms will become a reality.
These are failures of the Republican Party - a party which lacks faith in our capacity to grow - and which has adopted policies designed to protect what we have rather than to add to our abundance. These failures must and will be reversed.
Michigan wants an American whose ability to meet its responsibilities at home makes it a model for all the states of the Union
Today our slowed down economy, our overcrowded schools,jails our poor and our unemployed, our spreading homeless and our struggling farms are visible, tangible evidence of our failure to meet those responsibilities.And those failures are defeats for the cause of freedom.
West Michigan is living proof , that the road to abundance is freedom's road. And we intend to build a still greater State where every man has a chance to work, a decent house to live in, and decent schools for his children because we believe in a decent life for all our citizens - and because our hope remains hope for the good life are determined that freedom shall continue to show the way to progress.
For all those who scratched and clawed their way to get a piece of the American Dream, there were many who didn't make it — those who were ultimately defeated, in one way or another, by discrimination. That legacy was passed on to future generations — those young men and, increasingly, young women who we see standing on street corners or languishing in our prisons, without hope or prospects for the future
But I have asserted a firm conviction — a conviction rooted in my faith in God and my faith in the American people — that, working together, we can move beyond some of our old racial wounds, and that in fact we have no choice if we are to continue on the path of a more perfect union. West Michigan demands #equal pay for Women , #clean energy, #Affordable health care, # Safe Schools, Educated educators who don't leave our students behind. and Security for the Elderly .these are the few things West Michigan demands and these will be my first priority in office.West Michigan demands results and for our elected officials to be accountable , I agree.
our own greatness is living proof that the road to abundance is freedom's road. And we intend to build a still greater State where every man has a chance to work, a decent house to live in, and decent schools for his children because we believe in a decent life for all our citizens - and because our hope remains hope for the good life are determined that freedom shall continue to show the way to progress.
But I have asserted a firm conviction — a conviction rooted in my faith in God and my faith in the American people — that, working together, we can move beyond some of our old racial wounds, and that in fact we have no choice if we are to continue on the path of a more perfect union. all Americans must realize that your dreams do not have to come at the expense of my dreams; that investing in the health, welfare of children will ultimately help all of Us working together for our own greatness is living proof that the road to abundance is freedom's road.
I cannot assure you that the road ahead is an easy one - because I know it will not be easy, and our journey will require effort and sacrifice. But I believe that the people of this State - and the people of Michigan are ready to work together so that #Kent County can again build its future together
I chose to run for State Senator i believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together, unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes; that we may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction — toward a better future for our children and our grandchildren.
