You Are the Straw That Stirs The Drink

[Alan Grayson]

A few weeks ago, we asked each one of our supporters to become a campaign “sustainer” – a donor who makes monthly contributions. Team Grayson said that we’d take our sustainers’ questions to the Congressman, in a series we call “Ask Alan Anything.” We’ve shared his video responses with you. Today, Congressman Alan Grayson wants to express his appreciation to all of those who signed up to sustain our campaign.

I’m Congressman Alan Grayson. I want to say a special “THANK YOU,” not only to the individual sustainers who asked these questions, but to every sustainer, and to every supporter.

Your monthly contributions mean everything to us. It’s what makes ‘it’ happen. You are the straw that stirs the drink. You make everything we do possible.

When we pass an amendment, it’s you passing an amendment. When we collect and deliver signatures, it’s you collecting and delivering those signatures. When we stand against cuts (to) Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, it’s you who’s doing that.

When we accomplish something for the sake of justice, equality and peace - it’s not just me, it’s you. And it’s us.

And I appreciate your help. I need your help. Let’s keep this going. Thank you very much.

If you haven’t already signed up to be a sustainer, then Congressman Grayson needs your contribution to help his reelection effort this November. Anything you can contribute - $5, $15, or $50 – means more help to fight against the multinational corporations, the special interests, the selfish millionaires and billionaires, the Tea Party Republicans, the Fox News lackeys, and every other shill, stooge and sap who is desperate to see Alan Grayson defeated.So become a monthly sustainer today.

Besos y Abrazos (“kisses and hugs”),

Team Grayson
