America Must End Poverty-We Are Better Than This!

February 2, 2015 By marcie

Democrats for Public Education & Jennifer Granholm….No Way!

August 20, 2014 By marcie

Sorry to say that I know former MI Governor Jennifer Granholm and she is no true supporter of public education. I am a lifelong Democrat, although devastated by this Party’s intoxification with the toxic philanthropy of Bill Gates, Eli Broad….and the privatization of what we used to be able to call “publlic schools” and testification […]
