As a Michigan native, I am painfully aware of the need to "do something" about the Big Three automakers. Although I'm neither an employee nor the relative of an employee of Chrysler, Ford or GM, it's rare that I go through a week without making contact with folks who are UAW members, or employed by GM as management or salaried staff. I feel strongly that the Big Three have squandered our trust, avoided responsibility and disregarded a moral and practical mandate to produce more energy-efficient vehicles, but the failures of upper level policy makers are not those of the people desperately clinging to the only jobs they have ever known. In this town, entire families have made their living for generations in the auto manufacturing industry from working on auto assembly lines to punching in and out at smaller parts plants.

Despite statements to the contrary, it would appear that Republicans in Michigan's 8th District are feeling a little hot under the collar.

After spending years in the political closet (one of the dangers of a politically mixed marriage) I have emerged with a flourish, and a job as Press Person for a Michigan candidate for the United States House of Representatives. I have been working for Bob Alexander, a Democrat running in Michigan’s 8th Congressional District, against Mike Rogers, a four-term Republican incumbent. Bob is the kind of Democrat my parents are - a Joan Baez, "if you want peace, work for justice" kind of guy who spent years circulating petitions and working crowds "cold" to promote the value of a living wage for working people, and eventually persuaded the Michigan legislature to raise the minimum wage by 29 percent. He was not holding office at the time, mind you; it was just the right thing to do.
