You, Me and Mickey Mouse

Warning: incoming.

This is the last week of the quarter, so in the next six days, you may receive countless e-mails imploring you to contribute to political campaigns.

This is one of them. With a twist.

Here is the deal: Anyone who contributes $25 or more to our re-election campaign this week will have the chance to join me at Disney World.

Why Disney World? Because I represent South Orlando. Thank God I don’t represent South Mogadishu – that would be a hard sell.

As usual, we will choose one winner from the Orlando area, and another winner from anywhere in the country. We will provide transportation to Orlando, a hotel room, and Disney admission. And then I will have the pleasure of your company, if you are the one.

Would you like to join me? I look forward to it.

Under these rules, you could wait until midnight on March 31 to make your contribution. But that would be silly.  So donate to our campaign now. Who’s stopping you?

Maybe we’ll have dinner inside Cinderella’s Castle in the Magic Kingdom, and watch the fireworks. Or maybe we’ll enjoy Octoberfest (in April!) at Epcot Center. Maybe I’ll just ask you what you want to do.

Decisions, decisions.

By the way, void where prohibited, subject to change, blah, blah, blah.

I’ll be honest – one of the great thrills of living in Orlando is that I get to take my kids to Disney World any time I want to. And if you win, then I can take you, too.

So please, hit that CONTRIBUTE button below, and cross your fingers. Mickey Mouse wants to meet you. And so do I.

Courage,

Rep. Alan Grayson

If you would like a chance to join Congressman Grayson at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, please contribute $25 or more to our campaign by March 31st. (Or you can fill out the form here.)

but don't like Disney World (Land). I read Carl Hiaasen's book 'Team Rodent' several years ago and would never go there.
Best of luck in your campaign.
