"America Needs Alan Grayson"

[em] Leading off our moneybomb this week is the House Democratic Whip Congressman Steny Hoyer. Here are some remarks that Congressman Hoyer made during a visit to Rep. Alan Grayson’s district not too long ago. Congressman Hoyer is a champion for the Middle Class, he serves as the second highest-ranking member of House Democratic Leadership, and he plays a critical role in shaping the Democratic platform. Congressman Hoyer supports Rep. Alan Grayson, and here he explains why you should, too. Take it away, Steny![/em]

“In 2010, we had an awful, crazy election [in which] we lost a lot of good people. And some of them put their tail between their legs, and went away.

Alan Grayson didn’t do that.

Alan Grayson said, ‘I care too much about my country.’

Alan Grayson said, ‘I want to make sure that my people in Florida, in Central Florida, and in my country, reflect the values and the priorities and the vision that I think is important for this country.’

And that’s what Alan Grayson brings to this Congress.

I am asking you to reelect a Congressman who is making a difference, in Alan Grayson.

You tell them that they can make a difference. They have ways and means to do that.

Alan Grayson doesn’t need their money for his own sake. Alan Grayson doesn’t need their contributions.

America needs Alan Grayson. America needs your contribution.

Alan Grayson is the means to change this country."

[em]And there you have it –[link:https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/0714moneybomb?refcode=072414DU&amount=20.14&recurring=48| “Alan Grayson is the means to change this country.” He can make a difference, and you can too.

Contribute to Alan Grayson’s campaign today.

Contribute for America, because America needs Alan Grayson in Congress.

Sincerely,

Team Grayson[em]

He's in a safe Democratic district. Meanwhile, if you have money to spare, there are plenty of equally deserving House and Senate candidates who have tougher races.
