Tomorrow night Governor Jennifer M. Granholm will be giving her annual State of the State speech. Live coverage of the speech will be featured across the state and for the first time, 2 progressive blogs will be featuring live-blogs from the Capitol. Be sure to check out Blogging for Michigan and Michigan Liberal for their coverage.
The Governor's address is designed to recap the previous year's events and set forth her agenda for this year. There's likely to be a myriad of issues on the plate and Michiganders across the state are eager to hear her message.
What kinds of things are you hoping to hear the Governor talk about? What do you think Michigan needs to move forward? Feel free to post your thoughts before the speech and then come back and give us your reaction afterwards.
It's a cold day out, and many of them took the day off of work to come outside and educate voters. They are mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, brothers, and sisters. When asked why they came out, many said that they wanted their children, co-workers, and neighbors to enjoy the same equitable, safe, and fair working environments that they enjoy as members of the working community.
They are autoworkers, engineers, teachers, carpenters, clerical workers, public safety personnel and everything in between. They have seen and heard what happens to workers who live in states with "Right-to-Work (for Less)" laws and they don't want that for anyone - themselves, their families, and other Michigan citizens.
Are you a proud member of Working Michigan? Tell us why you were out today, and why stopping "Right to Work (for Less)" is important to you.
Progress Michigan is proud to team up in solidarity with the Michigan State AFL-CIO and Michigan's working men and women on this special election day to bring you exclusive coverage of the Decline to Sign Campaign, designed to protect Michigan's families against out-of-state special interests.
Progress Michigan will be the only outlet for news from the Campaign, and we'll be updating you throughout the day with news, information on the fight for Working Michigan, and a little video-blogging.
As we get started and progress throughout the day, tell us - were you asked to sign a so-called "Right to Work (for Less)" petition at your polling location? Have you recieved any robo-calls? Are you part of a Working Michigan family? We'd love to hear from you.
Keep checking back throughout the day as we'll be bringing you the latest.
