0 - Michigan Consumer Federation
Your bank has a lobbyist. So does your insurance agent and insurance company. And the dealership where you bought your car. And your utility company and telephone company. There are lobbyists representing your doctor, hospital, and pharmacist. And, of course, your grocery store, the department stores where you shop – even the convenience store on the corner. Practically every business works to protect its own interests. What about your interests? Aren’t you the one who elected our congressmen into office and not a company? Shouldn't they hear more from you and not from them? Shouldn’t you have someone working full-time in Lansing to make sure your interests as a consumer are being protected?

0 - The Children with Special Needs Fund
The Fund provides services and equipment to children with special health care needs that no other resource – including state or federal programs – provides. The Fund was created in 1944 with a large bequest of Dow Chemical stock by Dr. and Mrs. James Pardee. Dr. Pardee was a co-founder of the Dow Chemical Company. The Pardees’ gift remains a major portion of the Fund. It has been supplemented by donations made by many other individuals over the past 58 years. This generosity has enabled the Fund to help thousands of families. The Fund is administered through the Michigan Department of Community Health.
