Rep. Barbara Lee: “Please Send Alan Grayson Back To Congress”

Today's "30 Days to Victory" Alan Grayson Moneybomb video is from Rep. Barbara Lee. Barbara Lee has served as Chair of the Progressive Caucus, and the Congressional Black Caucus. She was the only Member of Congress to vote against the war in Afghanistan, and she was a founding member of the Out of Iraq Caucus. She is a great champion in the cause of peace.

Here is why Rep. Barbara Lee is urging you to support Alan's campaign:

I am Congresswoman Barbara Lee, and I represent the 9th Congressional District of California, which includes Oakland and Berkeley, California. And I am asking you today to please send Alan Grayson back to Congress. We need him.

Your donations, in whatever amount, will really make sure that he is re-elected. You know this money in politics, this corporate money [following the Supreme Court's decision in] Citizens United, really has begun to attempt to erode our democracy. But I know that you are going to contribute whatever you can, to make sure that Alan is re-elected.

Let me just say that he is such a strong voice for so many issues, especially around foreign policy and ending the war in Iraq. I worked with him on that. It was an honor, and I will tell you one thing: the House of Representatives is a much better place because of Alan Grayson. So we need him back. We have many battles to fight.

It's important that you donate to him, and you do it as quickly as possible. I am going to help him out, and I hope that you all do that too, because you are his constituents. He is your voice here in Congress, and we look forward to working with him as he is sworn in in January.

Sincerely,

Rep. Barbara Lee
