Thank you, General Meigs, Dean Mitchell Wallerstein and Bill Banks, for inviting me. I am a great admirer of the Maxwell School and of Syracuse University. And having grown up in New Jersey – the cradle of civilization – I always enjoy opportunities to visit New York.

And it is always wonderful to see my […]

Clean Power, Good Jobs, Energy Independence - April 21, 2011
April 21, 2011
Hello, I’m Jennifer Granholm, and I am working with Pew Charitable Trusts to help lead their campaign for clean energy policy in America. In fact, the Clean Power, Good Jobs, Energy Independence campaign is co-chaired by Senator John Warner, the former U.S. senator from Virginia, and me. I’m a Democrat, he’s a Republican. He is the former head of the Armed Services Committee and is co-chairing Pew’s campaign because he knows the importance of energy security from a defense perspective. I am co-chairing because as the former governor of Michigan, […]

Thank you so much. And to Millie and all of her good work at the NRA—as a lifetime member of the NRA, I so appreciate your efforts—they are protecting our Second Amendment rights. Thank you, Millie. She’s not just a Mama Grizzly—she’s a Mama Grizzly who’s probably packin’—so don’t mess with Millie. Truly, I thank you so much, and I am honored to get to be here. The last time I was in D.C., my family and I were here cruising on Harley Davidsons with Rolling Thunder, which is the […]

I am delighted to be here today amongst so many of you and to be able to share a few of my thoughts about what I see happening in the political landscape of this particular century right now, and it’s been going on for a while.

I’m delighted to be here and I want to thank Tim Lordan for the work that he does for the Internet Education Foundation in his leadership in guiding the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee. He does an outstanding job, along with the co-chairs both in the Senate and in the House. I’m very proud to be one of the co-chairs along with my wonderful colleague Bob Goodlatte.
