Good evening, I'm Jennifer Granholm, from the great state of Michigan, where the trees are just the right height! Let me tell you a story about the dark days in my home state. Toward the end of my time as governor, Ford closed one of its biggest factories, a factory in Wixom, Michigan. The plant had employed over the years thousands of middle-class men and women in neighborhoods near—yet worlds away from—the place Mitt Romney was raised. When Ford's decision to close the factory hit, I went down to the […]

Good evening. Good evening, distinguished delegates. Good evening, fellow Republicans. Good evening, my fellow Americans. We gather here at a time of significance and challenge. This young century has been a difficult one. I can remember as if it were yesterday when my young assistants came into my office at the White House to say that a plane had hit the World Trade Center, and then, a second plane, and then a third plane, the Pentagon. And later, we would learn that a plane had crashed into a field in […]

Thank you. I'm not your usual politician. I'm a wife. I'm a mother of three grown sons. I’m a rancher, a small business owner and a citizen-legislator. Becoming a U.S. senator was never an ambition of mine. But over the last four years, I've become very dismayed with the record spending, the record debt, and the record unemployment. The Obama administration has been out of touch with the American people, and they've driven our country towards the edge of a fiscal cliff. We're on track to become the first generation […]

I love South Carolina. I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants who reminded my brothers, my sister and me every single day how blessed we were to live in this country. They loved the fact that only in America, we could be as successful as we wanted to be and nothing would stand in our way. My parents started a business out of the living room of our home and, 30-plus years later, it was a multimillion dollar company. But there wasn't a single day that it was easy […]

I'm Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz of the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Moving America forward means never going backward on America's great promise of health care for our seniors: Medicare. As a daughter who cared for an elderly parent, I know medical care is not optional for our seniors. We will not let the Republicans end the guarantee of Medicare, which could cost seniors thousands and endanger the health and retirement security of millions of Americans. Americans have worked for their Medicare. They have paid for their Medicare. Whether you are 65, […]
