Note below in this e-mail the list of who is hosting and supporting the LA
Fundraiser for Congressman Alan Grayson. (and, of course note the position that
Alan Grayson takes on the Israeli-Palistinian conflict) WOW!!!!
Will Alan Grayson appear on KPFK since many of the 'liberal's (and
KPFK-Pacifica activists) are supporting the pro-Israel Congressman Alan Grayson?
Jim 'In today's world 'Liberal' does not mean the same as it used to mean.'

"When it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict, Grayson is fully programmed
by AIPAC and the pro-war, pro-settlements wing of the Israel Lobby."
"Graysons January 8th statement explaining his vote in favor of Israels
assault on the Gaza Strip read like a mimeograph of those released by other
AIPAC-friendly members of Congress."

Remember Alan Grayson--one of the few Congressional voices who spoke out
loudly for health care in Congress -- the one who told us that the Republican
plan for health care is: "Don't get Sick" and if you do "Die Quickly"? The
Congressman who supported Health Care by introducting The Medicare You Can Buy
Into Act, HR 4789? Grayson lost in the last election to a Tea Partyer but he
is running to regain his seat.
I hope that you can come and meet Alan Grayson on November 12th! That
would really help make this event a success, and you will help insure that Alan
Grayson--the fiery, outspoken & unapologetic Democratic Congressman from
Florida-- goes back to Washington. It should really be a great event! Please
let me know. Jan
Please forward widely!
HELP ELECT SOMEONE WHO WILL REALLY REPRESENT US IN CONGRESS!

Event Produced By Ilene Proctor
MSNBCs Rachel Maddow says that Grayson has a knack for explaining
Progressive ideas in clear, plain terms. MSNBCs Ed Schultz has said about
Grayson, this man is what its all about!
Some of the other issues which he raised includes clean elections (The
Save Our Democracy Platform, HR 4431-35), peace and taxes (The War is Making
You Poor Act, HR 5353) and employee benefits (The Paid Vacation Act, HR 2564),
created a powerful Progressive legislative program. Grayson introduced and
passed legislation preventing Wall Street from using bailout money for bonuses
(The Pay for Performance Act, HR 1664). Grayson also teamed up with Rep. Ron
Paul to pass the Paul-Grayson Amendment, providing for the first independent
audit of the Federal Reserve in a century, which uncovered $16 trillion in
bailouts. Grayson has developed innovative policies to help the struggling
middle class. For instance, Graysons Mandatory Mediation Program cut
foreclosures in his county in half, and was so successful that the Florida
Supreme Court ordered it adopted statewide.
Time and time again, Grayson has exhibited grassroots leadership as well.
He attracted over 100,000 signatures on petitions against corporate money in
politics, and 100,000 more against cuts in Social Security, Medicare and
Medicaid. His 2010 campaign drew contributions from almost 100,000 people, far
more than any other Democratic Member of the House. His YouTube channel is the
most-watched channel of any Member of the House, with almost 10,000,000 views.
Grayson also has been a compelling and forceful voice for Progressivism
in the media. For example, Grayson boiled down the Republican healthcare plan
to this: Dont get sick! He has appeared on national TV hundreds of times,
articulately defending Progressive principles. Grayson says what many others
are thinking, but no one else is saying. A short clip of Grayson explaining
Occupy Wall Street on HBOs Real Time with Bill Maher a few weeks ago quickly
reached 500,000 views on YouTube.
AMERICA NEEDS ALAN GRAYSON IN CONGRESS. The Progressive Movement needs
an honest, fearless leader like Alan Grayson.
And Alan Grayson needs your help. Grayson famously said that Wall Street
controls our economic policy, Big Oil controls our energy policy, and the
military-industrial complex controls our foreign policy. Thanks to the
Citizens United Supreme Court decision, Wall Street, Big Oil and the
military-industrial complex can spend, and have spent, unlimited amounts of
money to defame and defeat Grayson. Alan Grayson needs our help to fight
back, and to fight for our Movement.
JUSTICE, EQUALITY AND PEACE. JOBS, HEALTH, AND PEACE. GRAYSON FOR
CONGRESS!
In support of Progressive Icon Alan Grayson's Essential 2012 re-election
The Citizens United Supreme Court Decision has re-written the rules of
campaign finance and given corporations unlimited freedom to sway our politics.
That has made progressives and everyday people especially vulnerable to losing
their voice in the process. An Alan Grayson loss would be a huge trophy for
the right wing because Alan Graysons courage and integrity would again make
him the most progressive voice in Congress. We must keep our progressive voice
on economic and political policy. 99% Need over Corporate Greed
From Alan Grayson: What we have now is a government of the lobbyists, by
the lobbyists and for the lobbyists. What we need now is a government of the
people, by the people, for the people. And the alternative has a name- People
Power. Together we are demonstrating a whole new paradigm of government. A
government in which our elected officials know their best shot at government is
not catering to lobbyists and selling favors .
