REALITY CHECK....

Today Grayson had a FUND-RAISING APPEAL on Daily KOS.
He’s trying to CASH IN on insaniac liberal hatred like Joe Wilson’s opponent did.

He’s playing to the crazies of the nutroots, and trying to get cash from them at the same time.

If they weren’t nutz, they’d see it for the scam it is. But, being liberals....

Grayson is a first-termer from the Florida 8th, which is the Orlando suburbs and points north. This was a Republican district until last year.

I think he KNOWS he’s screwed in 2010, and is trying to mak a name for himself with regressive progressives...

ya know, I think theres probably some ppl on our side who donate like this. Did anyone bother to check Joe Wilson’s record before donating to him over “You Lie”. He apologized way too quickly and imho that makes him undeserving of any donation alone

well, you have to apologize for interrupting a speech. But the actual content? No, I don’t think he backed off from that.

I made the same connection earlier this evening. I also believe he knows that the only way he can possibly win is to spend, spend, spend, but he doesn’t want to use any of his own considerable money in a losing cause.

I hope all the libs drop every penny they have down that sink hole. I have a feeling that all Zero’s horses and all Zero’s men won’t be able to put this clown back into elective office again.

I’m left speechless by such moronic behavior.

I don’t know what district he’s from, but if I lived there I’d be wearing a paper bag over my head today, or better yet a full burka!

Alan Mark Grayson (born March 13, 1958 in Bronx, New York) is the Democratic Congressman in Florida's 8th congressional district.

Grayson tapped blogger Matt Stoller as Senior Policy Advisor in 2009

Matthew N. Stoller (born February 8, 1978) is an American blogger, author and political consultant. Stoller was also the president of BlogPAC, a political action committee that funds progressive blogs.

Stoller is well known for his activities during the campaign for the 2004 U.S. presidential election, and was until recently a leading contributor to the liberal political blog MyDD. He left MyDD in July, 2007 to co-found OpenLeft, another liberal political blog . Stoller also consults for the Sunlight Foundation, FreePress.net, and Working Assets

The 2004 Democratic National Convention took the historic step of giving selected bloggers access with journalist credentials. Stoller worked as a volunteer for the Convention, and he ended up in charge of credentialling the bloggers. He co-created the (now-defunct) convention blog BostonDParty before being removed from posting due to conflicts of interest during the convention. Stoller attended the convention as a credentialled blogger. He has testified before the Federal Election Commission on the role of electronic media in politics, and is the co-author with Chris Bowers of a report on electronic communities in politics.

******

In early 2009, Grayson responded to controversial comments by talk radio personality Rush Limbaugh, in which Limbaugh stated that he wanted the policies of President Barack Obama "to fail".

"Rush Limbaugh is a has-been hypocrite loser, who craves attention. His right-wing lunacy sounds like Mikhail Gorbachev, extolling the virtues of communism. Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict. If America ever did 1% of what he wanted us to do, then we'd all need pain killers."

Grayson released a second statement, in which he said, "I’m sorry Limbaugh called for harsh sentences for drug addicts while he was a drug addict. I'm also sorry that he’s bent on seeing America fail. And I’m sorry that Limbaugh is one sorry excuse for a human being."

******

Grayson is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, consisting of 80 progressive House members in addition to independent Vermont Senator Bernard Sanders and Democratic New Mexico Senator Tom Udall.

GRAYSON PROPOSES FIRST-EVER PAID VACATION LAW

Paid Vacation Act of 2009

The bill will dramatically improve productivity at American companies and provide a much-needed spark for the U.S. travel and tourism industries.

In other countries, it’s a matter of right. Everyone is entitled to it. In our country, it is a matter of class. Over time we are coming to realize that whatever your background, wherever you grew up, wherever you live, there are certain basic elements that people need to have enjoyable lives. They need health care. They need a decent paying job. And for a good life, they need time off.”

The Paid Vacation Act will require at least one week of paid vacation for employees at companies with at least 100 employees. Full- and part-time (25 hours per week/1250 hours per year) workers will be eligible after one year of service.

Three years after enactment, companies with at least 50 employees would be required to offer at least one week of paid vacation, and companies with at least 100 employees would be required to offer at least two weeks of paid vacation.

The Paid Vacation Act of 2009 would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which means enforcement will be handled by the Department of Labor and U.S. Attorney’s Office, just like all federal wage and hour laws in the country.
