(2,331 posts)Not on purpose. I must have had my finger slip on a high amount rather than my usual token to many candidates. But he's a great guy and I don't have a lot of expenses so it's ok.
I did that this last summer with a local art fundraiser! Glad I'm not the only one!
Yeah it's fine. I've been getting a steady paycheck so I could afford to give a lot via Act Blue. I will be happy to see my emails cut by half or more though.

(23,156 posts)I keep on wondering if he's the guy I briefly met at a Move-On conference in 2007, who was telling everyone he was planning on running for Congress the next year. I do think the guy was from Florida.
I sincerely hope that Grayson runs for President at some point.

(4,802 posts)It would have been fun to see Rep. Grayson take down Alan West's wackiness. Just to think of a Grayson/West slug fest..
. West likely would need up his valium dosage.

And locally... We still have Gillibrand and Bishop!!!! A good day.
The Wizard
(12,547 posts)a straight shooting, hard hitting, take no prisoners, smart, fearless and honest Democrat in public service. As for the teabaggers: Die quickly.
If Alan Grayson was a boxer he'd be called the Hard Hitting Heeb.

(812 posts)We may not have regained the house..........yet,but having Mr.Grayson back in the house almost makes up for the deficit.
I am sure he is looking forward to reaching across the aisle and working with reasonable opposition(though they be few)in order to move this country in positive and equitable direction for all and not just the over privileged few.
I would like to thank the congressman for his exemplary service in the past and look forward to his many accomplishments in the future,may they be many.

One of the reps on my VERY top tier of favourites. I don't even mind repeating myself.

(31 posts)Florida needs help from the grip of Republicans running everything in the state. Since Reagon and jeb Bush this state has been going down hill, everything got more expensive, corrupt and radical. Elections have gotten so bad with Gov Scott cutting early election days....well...I could say more but it would take up to much time.
rwsanders
(2,606 posts)Only contribution (small one) I made this year. Excited that he is back in. So who will pick him up for VP?
Since I've learned this year that the VP is to be the attack dog so the candidate can "appear presidential", who better for the VP slot in 2016. It is time to start campaigning after all.
