Alan Grayson needs our help. Remember he was always a great friend to us.

Apparently I spoke too soon and from wrong information. From others on this thread the information is he is doing very well.

I just gave to his campaign. Maybe someone else wants to too.

Alan Grayson is BACK -- and running strong in a new Democratic-leaning Florida congressional district. If he wins, it sure will be nice to have his voice representing Florida and all of us in Congress again!

Last cycle, PCCC members made over 215,000 calls for Grayson -- contacting key voters from our homes.

This coming Tuesday, we are honored to kick off our 2012 Call Out The Vote program by making calls for Alan Grayson!

Grayson is famous for his honesty. He said the Republican health care plan is "Don't get sick. If and you do get sick, die quickly."

Alan Grayson is also an effective, progressive fighter. He passed a bill into law to audit the Federal Reserve, which unearthed trillions in secret bailouts to the big banks.

Thousands of folks have made these calls before. We use special technology so you never get answering machines or busy signals. It's fun, it's easy, and Alan Grayson needs our help.

This link is for making calls. I don't know if you can do that from your home but I'll leave the link anyway.

I thought I read something on here last week where he looked like he was doing great. What happened? Or did I misread something.

Grayson is the best, I would order two dozen of him if I could.

09/29/12 RATING CHANGE: Mod Grayson to Strong Grayson

08/15/12 Stuart Rothenberg Pundit Change: Lean DEM to Likely DEM


I am not saying that people shouldn't support him but I can't fathom such a major shift to the weakest of teabagger candidates that he is running against vs if he had to run against the rethug incumbent who actually lost the primary. I.e., he's running against an unknown, non-incumbent.

Do you have any links to newer polls?

7. It was my mistake. I just typed in Allan Grayson poll in Google and the 2010 poll popped up

From what I read on this thread he is doing well. So don't worry.
