I am thankful I live in Michigan. At least through 1 January 2027, when Michigan’s next governor is sworn in, I know that my Governor will:
Protect the health of women and girls
Protect the rights of LGBTQ individuals
Protect our environment and recognize the dangers of climate change
Strengthen the middle class
Make public education better
Protect our immigrants, even when they support their own deportation
Try to make government work for all Michigan residents, not just the super wealthy.
I recognize that I have a responsibility to do my part - to participate in government, to hold our government accountable at all levels and to vote for a better world.
Residents of other blue states should also be thankful. For the rest, I suggest you consider moving to Michigan, where our government protects your rights.

Hi Nat,
I like your comments, especially the last one. As you are close to Indiana, may I point to a new flight connection between Indianapolis and Dublin? You can go direct using Air Lingus on their new Air Airbus A 321 LR. Europe is close, so why not visit Germany?
I am a former President of the German Division of IAP and Central IAP. It might be a nice idea to welcome you in our headquarter in Bonn/ Germany.
Best wishes,
Dietmar Schmidt; MD
