[bobbolink]

11. Let's do it! Let's nominate him!

http://backbonecampaign.org/page.cfm?id=3

A key part of this project is to honor courageous, progressive elected officials and citizen activists by presenting them with Backbone Awards and Spine Awards . In so doing, we affirm the relationship between representatives and constituents, and the importance of courageous, principled actions taken at politically lonely moments. Our intention is to reward those who rise to the challenge at this crucial historical moment, in support of a broad movement aligned with the principles and positions articulated in our Progressive Platform .

Generally, Backbone and Spine Awards will be considered for individuals when their recognition is deemed to advance the goals stated above and who meet one, but preferably both of the following criteria:

The proposed recipient has demonstrated a record of consistent and active support for progressive principles and positions in a variety of issue areas.
The proposed recipient has publicly displayed moral courage by standing in support of a particular progressive principle at a politically lonely moment.
Proposals for awards will be reviewed by the Backbone Campaign in light of the principles stated above and the strategic goals of the Campaign. Please note that we looking for proposals, not nominations. We have limited resources, and we are committed to collaboration with others in the progressive movement. We appreciate suggestions, but we are much more interested in partners who will help implement the presentation of these Awards . To propose an Award please email: infoATbackbonecampaign.org

Please. Give some background.

It's been a while since we've done an award. Your suggestion makes me think that an annual event might be the best strategy for our small organization.

Thanks again,

Bill Moyer

[LittleGirl]

5. Grayson is my hero!

And he says it all with conviction and that makes me want to stand up and cheer!

[bjobotts]

6. Proving to Dems that stop worrying about votes you'll lose and look at those you stand to gain by ac

acting like him. Look at all the donations he's raking in by standing up.

[snagglepuss]

7. Grayson is absolutely priceless. He should have a spot on the Daily Show.

:rofl:

[FiveGoodMen]

8. Damn, this guy's on fire!

19. A new star is born and of course the GOP attack dogs go after him.

I hope he keeps it up.

[bobbolink]

20. It's good they go after him. That was the plan. That's the oNLY thing that has caused the info

to get out.

The man is savvy, and he's willing to take shit for us.

[applegrove]

21. We need someone like that who will tell it like it is.

[bobbolink]

23. Now if he would just tell it like it is about poverty!

We're the one group who has no "spokesperson"

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

24. they are no match for him

he is so fluid in his response and comments.

[DeSwiss]

22. Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!

If there were a Nobel Prize for Fear, Hatred and/or Racism then the GOP would be the winner hands-down every year, at least since Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy in 1968.
