With the “out” Trump supporters, for example, you can see them coming from a mile away. Confederate flags waving, no face masks, stupid, misspelled signs, support for the border wall, and hatred for women and minorities–it’s all on […]

UPDATED: Michigan presidential recount update – it’s getting very, very ugly

UPDATED: Michigan presidential recount update – it’s getting very, very ugly

When Green Party candidate Jill Stein announced her intention to demand recounts in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, I was skeptical. In fact, it looked to me like she was simply using it as a way to raise money and, more importantly, her profile along with getting Democrats to sign up for her email list. I’m still not so sure that […]

Hillary Clinton in Michigan August 11, 2016.

The long, challenging road of a Clinton supporter ends today with an historic election

I did not support Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primary. I thought she came to the table with far too much baggage to be successful. Not baggage of her own making but baggage composed of every unjustified, sexist attack made on her by patriarchal Republicans and conservative commentators based on their fear and hatred of powerful women, especially the wife […]

Postcard from Reno – Getting out the vote and learning a new perspective from women

The following guest post was written by my friend Rich Peterson. Rich describes himself as a Midwestern kid who graduated from Michigan State University before there were CDs, let alone MP3s. “I found my way to Silicon Valley where I live with my wife, two kids and the world’s most spoiled dog (trust me),” Rich told me.
