Rarely is there a political ad that can change Congress. But I just saw one.
You know Congressional candidate Carl Sciortino, whom we endorsed in August. In his groundbreaking ad, he "comes out" as a progressive to his Tea Party father. Watch it. It's stunning. Almost 400,000 people have seen it already on YouTube. They are passing it around to their family and friends, and even Weird Joey, who lives down the block. ("Yo, Joey, check this out!" It's that good.
Carl's not just running for Congress. He's running for Congress as a progressive. And if he can win, showing his true colors, then it will encourage candidates all over the country to do the same. And change Congress.
So help him keep this remarkable ad on the air. Watch it, and give.
There are five people running to replace Ed Markey in the House (Ed having joined the U.S. Senate). Only one of them -- Carl Sciortino -- is running as a "True Blue Democrat." And that's whom we've endorsed. In this low-profile special election, we have the chance to send a genuinely principled, pro-peace candidate to Congress.
Give $35 to Carl's campaign, or whatever you can.
We need Carl Sciortino on our team, in Congress. He has a bold record in the Massachusetts Legislature on Social Security expansion, the right to organize, marriage equality and peace. Carl has demonstrated that he's a leader. And with this brilliant ad, he has shown that he's one of us, a True Blue Democrat who deserves your help.
Courage,
Alan Grayson

In a holding pattern.
