This is me and my mother, and really, this is about as personal as it gets.
Last night at the Cure Michigan event in Oakland County with this guy, Gov. Jennifer Granholm, and many other wonderful folks all who came out to support Proposition 2 - a real cure for Michigan.
Happy Election Day!

With all the bad news about our economy, I'm amazed that more people aren't doing more to work together to get it back on track.
