Tell Gov Snyder to stop his attacks on Michigan workers. Sign our petition now!

Michigan Republican Governor Rick Snyder is on a post-election power grab to strip the rights of workers. Just like Wisconsin, the Koch brothers have emerged from the shadows to support Snyder’s extreme lurch to the right.

Michigan voters tried to make clear that they didn’t want this, but they were shut out of the state Capitol building. What Republicans are doing in Michigan is more than anti-worker – it’s just plain wrong. This isn’t the way states should be run.

Add your name to send a message to Snyder and the Kochs that we won’t stand for this. We support workers in Michigan who are fighting to be heard.

Watching college football today? The teams on the field aren’t the only ones going head to head on campuses across the country.

The Obama 2012 campus call contest lets you match up the Students for Obama call team from your favorite school against any other—and you can help your team win by making more calls for the President.

So who can make the most calls? Will USC hold onto its narrow lead over Arizona? Can Michigan State make a heroic comeback against Wisconsin? The ball’s in your hands. Set up your rivalry of choice, call voters in battleground states, and score a touchdown for President Obama today.

Muskegon Chronicle Endorsement: The country needs Barack Obama “The Obama we are endorsing is the man who oversaw and expanded the bailout of the auto industry that was initiated in the final weeks of the George W. Bush administration.We are endorsing the Obama who knew that bailing out an industry that provided more than 2 million industrial and related jobs and 3.6 percent of our gross national product was the right thing to do.We are endorsing the man who stood up to naysayers in Congress, and Mitt Romney who placed his opinion, “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt,” in the national spotlight, because what was on the line was more than a financial crisis, it was a way of life in Michigan that would have been wiped out, sending shock waves into every other industry and business and into government services such as police, fire and education. There’s no way Michigan or the other industrial states would be in the slow, but steady recovery they are experiencing today if GM and Chrysler had been forced to liquidate.Yes, it was costly to U.S. taxpayers, but the $62 billion auto bailout was a mere fraction of the $700 billion bank bailout, which saved fewer jobs.We are endorsing the man who has empathy for the middle class, who understands the struggles of single parents and children who are raised by their grandparents. A man who knows what good-paying industrial jobs and their benefits mean to families.We are endorsing the Obama who is focused on helping American students get the education they need to compete for future jobs. The Obama who touted the importance of community colleges as an affordable path to the education and training our country needs to compete.We are endorsing the Obama who is willing to bet on the future. Yes, some funding and tax credits for green energy and battery companies have been a failure. But, this country didn’t get it entirely right with other industries either. That doesn’t mean you stop trying.We are endorsing the Obama who wants to improve our infrastructure, not just our highways and bridges but the Internet super highway. This country, every corner of it, needs to be wired and to have cellphone connections in order to compete globally in education and in business.We are endorsing the president who ended the conflict in Iraq, is rolling back the conflict in Afghanistan and stood tough in bringing Osama bin Laden and other terrorists to justice.We are endorsing the Obama who knows that if all Americans have access to good health care, we will become a more productive nation.”
