Had a call from Alan Grayson today... [View all]

[brooklynite]

(and I mean a real call on my personal phone)

...coming to NYC to raise money for his Senate campaign. He made a point to mention that it was at a lovely apartment in the Beekman part of Midtown (tony residences just south of the Upper East Side, where the apartments sell for $2-$7 million). Now, I don't object to any decisions he makes about where to raise funds, but I'll note that 1) he's holding his event in the sort of location that "the 99%" seem to hate and 2) he's reaching out to the 1% crowd for his funding (I haven't seen the invite, but I guarantee that the ask will be $1,000).Representation for the people?
