Working on developing partnership in India and bring JOBS to Lansing

Visited India last week to work on developing a partnership with a key global manufacturer to bring JOBS to Lansing and USA. What a marvelous country, where pluralism and freedom is flourishing along with economy.

The attack on public employees and labor unions is an attack on all working Americans.

Proud to stand with activists from all over Michigan in support of labor rights for WI workers and all Americans. Thanks to Move On.Org for sponsoring the rally to Save the American Dream. We’ve got our work cut out for us. MI and America MUST be a place of opportunity for all – not just the folks at the top.

Now is no time for a tea party. Hope you are ready to stand and fight for the American Dream.
