As the first Pro-Choice candidate in the MI-5 primary in 34 years, I am often asked why I am fighting so hard to defend a woman's rights. The article today on Politico.com entitled, "Predicting an end to Roe v. Wade" is why I am running against a long-time, never-been-challenged Anti-Choice democrat. The reality of this landmark personal privacy issue being overturned infuriates me.

What do women 51 years and younger who live in Flint have in common? They've never had an opportunity to vote for a Pro-Choice democratic candidate. I'm not talking about in the general election, I'm talking about in the primary.

There is plenty of blame to go around in regards to the Gulf Oil spill.

The oil spill is ravaging the water and marine life, the shoreline, the marshes and the livelihoods of everyone in the region.

The reality of the situation sunk in for millions of Americans with the announcement of the "top kill" failure. Now we must admit, the Gulf of Mexico could be destroyed for generations to come. I think we all held out hope that after 30+ days, this process would work. There are not many options left.

I'm a progressive, Pro-Choice democratic candidate in Michigan's 5th U.S. Congressional district primary.

My volunteers, my family and I worked hard for months knocking on doors across the district to generate the signatures need to get on the ballot.

Our filing deadline was Tuesday, May 11th. I was proud of what we accomplished because my campaign is grassroots and doesn't have hundreds of thousands of dollars from special interest groups. But one phone call on Wednesday.. pissed me off!!
