Sebelius to Launch Michigan Women for Obama Tuesday

by: wizardkitten

Sun Aug 17, 2008 at 15:27:34 PM EDT


There is a temptation here to read tea leaves... well, never mind that for now. We will know soon enough. Tuesday, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius will join Stabenow, Dingell and Bell here in our state to discuss Obama's platform on "family issues".

Barack Obama's Michigan Campaign for Change today announced that Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius will be traveling to Michigan this Tuesday, August 19th, to launch Michigan Women for Obama and to hold a town hall meeting with women from across Michigan to discuss issues facing Michigan's women and their families.  Governor Sebelius will be joined by Former Wayne County Commissioner Edna Bell and DNC Member Debbie Dingell for the announcement.  

Governor Sebelius will also be joined by United States Senator Debbie Stabenow in a town hall meeting where they will discuss Senator Obama's commitment to the issues that matter to women and families, including affordable health care, economic security, and equal pay.

No Granholm? Seems odd. Might have previous engagement.

More details as they become available.

UPDATE: Press conference is tomorrow at 10:45 am, town hall will be held at 11:25 am, Macomb Community College, John Lewis Center, K Building, Room 301. Stabenow and Sebelius will be present for the town hall. (No Dingell? She is worth the trip alone.)

Tuesday night, Michigan Women for Obama will hold house parties across the state, and there will be conference call availability with Stabenow and Granholm.

And there you have it.

I think it marvelous (4.00 / 4)
that such talented, intelligent women will gather and listen to the needs of Michigan (and by extension, National) women. Yes, Jennifer must have another commitment, if not I will edit my opening comment on intelligence. :)

As a pastor I am privileged to serve many women, mostly mothers, single and married, who fall through the cracks of our social safety net. Wish I could attend this meeting; I don't need to say anything just be a bug on the wall ... okay, okay maybe submit a written question or comment ... or two. Will you be there WK?

This meeting speaks well of Senator Obama. I pray Michelle will keep him focused on what he learns from this gathering.

 


No, can't make it (4.00 / 1)
Unfortunately my elderly car finally suffered a fatal, expensive flaw (something wrong in the wiring), and there isn't much I can do about it right now since all my funds are tied up in this Denver trip.

Yes, it should be an interesting evening. And who knows, Granholm might be there as well. Could be that it just wasn't confirmed when they sent the e-mail out yesterday. These appearances seem to happen at the drop of a hat and schedules have to be re-arraigned, etc. - so, we will see.

Someone will probably make a video of it and we can check it out later.

Sorry about your car. (4.00 / 2)

Since I've read of clergy holding ceremonies for the "blessing of bikes" maybe its okay to say a prayer for your car's healing. :)

If you hear of a video please let me know, that's one I'd like to show at church.

Sebelius Family Close to Michigan (4.00 / 4)
Apparently, the Sebelius family has had a cottage in Leelanau county for generations.  She spoke at the Leelanau County Democratic Party's big fundraiser this year.
