LANSING – Governor Jennifer M. Granholm has been selected to deliver the Democratic response to President Bush’s weekly radio address this coming Saturday, February 4.
 
“It’s an honor to give the Democratic response to the president’s radio address and to give voice to the belief that, together, America can do better,” Granholm said.  “I look forward to speaking to the nation on behalf of Michigan’s hard-working families and elevating the issues they care about to a national audience.”
 
Governor Granholm has championed and recently signed into law an unprecedented $6 billion plan to fight for Michigan jobs, grow Michigan’s economy, and secure the future of its families.  She has the right vision for Michigan’s future, and she stands strong for the agenda that Democrats have outlined to keep America competitive in the 21st century.
 
Granholm’s response will follow the President’s radio address that is made available to all radio stations each Saturday.  Check local listings for broadcast time in your area.
 
Saturday will mark the second time Granholm has delivered the Democratic response to the President; the first was March 20, 2004.
