Michigan Democratic Party Convention

Hello fellow Democrats!
Hello to the members of the party that fights for jobs and working families. The party of Main Street. The party of tolerance and inclusion. The party of environmental protection.
We are not active in politics because we seek power or to enrich ourselves and our friends. We are in politics because we believe we can make life better for the people. We believe in a government that does what it can to ensure every American can pursue what we all want: a decent living, a comfortable home in a secure neighborhood, good schools and a better future for our children. And not since the 1930s has our nation been more in need of our party's philosophy.

According to the law, this is their right. I do not believe, however, that carrying guns at a festival like this one is a good idea and that is why I am introducing legislation to change the law.
