Alan Grayson Confident In Re-Election, Fundraises For Others
WASHINGTON -- Democrats are so confident in the chances of former Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) winning back a seat in Congress this year, they are pressing the progressive firebrand into service raising cash for other candidates as one of their new "majority makers."
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is out with an email from the outspoken pol Monday, trying to add momentum to its recent fundraising streak before the month ends.
"There are a lot of Americans asking the same question right now: are these Republicans kidding?" Grayson says in the email. "Corporations are people? The way to create jobs is to give rich people more money? Super PACs decide who gets elected?
"I'm not buying it, and I don't think you are either," he says, before calling on donors to kick cash "to call out all these Tea Party Republicans, for trying to destroy the middle class in the country we all love."
