Did you just accuse Granholm of murder?

I recieved yet another robo-call against Granholm. This time it's from "Michigan Working Families", an deliberatly fuzzy name of a group I had difficulty finding any info on after a fifteen minute search on the googleweb (trademark pending). At first brush it sounds like the caller accused Granholm of being directly responsible for the death of 7 Year Old Ricky Hollands tragic death.

"Good news is the debates are over. Bad news, Granholm is still Governor. But Granholm has shown that she can't let go of her looney liberal policies. Granholm is even trying to cover up her mismanagement resulting in the death of Ricky Holland. And on top of that is her failure at jobs. Granholm doesn't support the jobs bank and keeps vetoing drug testing for welfare recipients. Jennifer Granholm has also made Michigan one of the only two states that has no time limit for welfare. This message brought to you by Michigan Working Families."

LINK.

This time i wasn't able to get the number on caller ID. It came up as "Unkown Caller".
Several things jump out at me: first, like i said, at first brush it sounded as if Governor Granholm was directly responsible for the death of Ricky Holland. Even on his own site DeVos posts an editorial in which, in part, the author says that DeVos' claim is 'ludicrous'. Although, they claim fair in context of the political fight. (how?)

Second, in whiplash fashion it switches to an attack on the Michigan welfare system. The charges leveled on this front are, well, silly and petty, as though they needed something of minor substance to throw in along with this charge of allowing Ricky Holland to be murdered. The final thing I got from this was a real sense of curiosity as to who the "Michigan Working Families" are. If anyone's got any information on them, I'd love to see who it is and where the funding comes from.

The GOP has also claimed that she is responsible for a crime spree.
