Related: About this forumRep. John Lewis (D-Conscience): “Alan Grayson Will Never Let You Down”
We begin our 30 Days to Victory Moneybomb with a video from Rep. John Lewis, Congressman and great civil rights leader. John Lewis often is called The Conscience of Congress. He is one of the best public speakers in elective office. If you have never heard him speak, then click here youre in for a treat.https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/wontletyoudown
This is what John Lewis said about Alan Grayson, and why you should support Alans campaign:
Im John Lewis. During the Sixties, I was very active in the American Civil Rights Movement. I marched with, and worked with, Martin Luther King Jr., to change America -- to make America better.
I must tell you, now more than ever before, we need Alan Grayson back into the Congress. To work with us. To help move America forward, and not backward.
Alan Grayson stood up, he spoke up, and he spoke out when he was in the Congress. We need him back -- not just this district, not just the state of Florida, but the state of Georgia, and America, needs this man.
He is a fighter. He believes in the very best of America. He believes that we have a right to healthcare, that we have right to know what is in the water we drink, and the food we eat, the air we breathe.
He will never, ever let you down. He will never, ever give up, or give in, or give out. He is my friend. He is my brother. And I want to work with him again in the Congress.
So send him back to Washington. Do it for yourself. Do it for his district. Do it for America.
Sincerely,
Rep. John Lewis

What a treat it would be to wake up the day after the election and see that you and Elizabeth Warren are in and Eric Cantor is out.
