Alan Grayson to RUN for CONGRESS |
|
:headbang: " ORLANDO, Fla. -- WFTV learned on Monday that former U.S. Congressman Alan Grayson is running for office again.
On Monday, Grayson said he doesn't plan to do anything different. He said he's running again because of all the people who have reached out and asked him to. Grayson already raised nearly $100,000 in donations before filing his paperwork on Monday.
"We need somebody who's gonna stick up for what's right. Somebody with guts," Grayson said.
During Grayson's last campaign an ad referred to his opponent, Daniel Webster, as Taliban Dan. Grayson lost his District 8 Congressional seat to Webster after a highly controversial campaign. And Grayson's take on the Republican health care plan caught national attention.

2. he will give the competition a run for their money |
|
and win or lose, that's fine with me.
If enough people can connect the dots (war abroad = poverty at home), Grayson has a realistic shot at the office next year.
The civilian economy will fare poorly with Rethugs in charge, they will work to help their base, the military-industrial complex.

6. Let us hope he doesn't get into zipper trouble like Weiner and Spitzer. It seems |
|
our fighters always get into trouble. He must know he is already a target for the GOP. He needs to follow the rules.
