LANSING, Mich. – A woman who survived human trafficking is sharing her story with lawmakers in Lansing, pushing for laws to be changed to protect others.
Leigh, as she wants to be identified, went in front of a House subcommittee to tell lawmakers what happened to her and let them know what needs to change to help survivors. Leigh shared what she went through when she was human trafficked and how the system failed her when she escaped.
“I was charged with prostitution when I escaped,” she said.
all right. my hit or winner of the year, ron johnson, the senator from wisconsin who was all but written off even by republicans. the republican senate campaign committee said, well, you re done, man. we re not giving you any money. what he did, he decided he and his brother decided to create some ads on his own. they re great ads on obamacare, the joseph project, a jobs connection project he has in wisconsin. and he came out of nowhere, and he won when nobody expected to, and he outperformed donald trump in the state of wisconsin. and i think he outperformed a lot of the expectations, right? oh, for sure. he s written off as the businessman and so forth and showed he could do it. i ll give ron johnson a lot of credit, but i think there s some wisconsin show shoev niz many going on here. wisconsin shoev niz many? come on, it s a bellwether state, man. it was right on the money in terms of predicting this election as some of the rest of us were not, i might add. okay. rememb
