To inform you about ALL your potential choices in the voting booth this November 6th, we're inviting all CHALLENGERS (not incumbents), including those from "third parties" to briefly state their backgrounds, their philosophy, and their legislative plans, once in office. As part of this effort, Republican candidate for 15th District (mostly Dearborn) to the Michigan House is on today's show, during the last fifteen minutes.
Dr. Gail Mee updates us on the exciting new school year at Henry Ford Community College in our first half hour. She will be leaving HFCC after six busy years with numerous local accomplishments and both national and local recognition for her work. In the second half, we speak to "Mr. Public Citizen," Ralph Nader, who ran for President in 2000, 2004, and 2008, twice on a Third party ticket and once as an Independent. Should we vote at all this November? For whom? Why don't we hear more about all the choices we actually have on the ballot?
