Stand Up for Detroit
Detroit does not have a good reputation in the national media. Over the last four days it has not gotten any better. Somehow an idiot gets through security in Holland, and tries to ignite a homemade bomb on a flight that just so happends to be landing in Detroit, and all the sudden all the media has to come to Detroit. They show the security lines in Detroit, and talk about our policies. Add this to Detroit leading the nation in unemployment, and Detroit just can’t get a break. Look Detroit is not perfect by any means, and this city has its work cut out for it. But it does not deserve to have only the negative parts reported. The state of Michigan has been very successful with their “Pure Michgian” campaign. I think it is time for Detroit to start a positive campaign. The first thing that comes to mind is the Channel 7 WXYZ TV commercials that touted “Stand up for Detroit”. At least it is a good start.
