I got a chance to meet and say a few words to Alan Grayson at a GOTV event on Saturday. I thanked him for the work he's doing to protect consumers in the growing mortgage / foreclosure fraud crisis. His response was modest and simple:
"Somebody has to do it"
Alan Grayson gets it. He steps up and tackles the problems that need attention, the problems that affect working class people in his district, the problems that no one else is trying to fix.
Grayson does what needs to be done. Now it's our turn.
Early voting starts today in Florida.
It's time to set aside the petty bickering and talk of withholding votes as punishment. That strategy simply does not work.
Go vote today. Get your Progress Florida voting guide here. Early voting continues for the next 2 weeks. Get your friends and neighbors to the polls. Offer rides to anyone who needs one. Encourage all to vote early - get it out of the way now at your convenience - don't wait until the last minute.
Up and down the ticket we have stark choices on the ballot this year. Grayson is in a close race against a tea bagger. So is solid Dem Ron Klein in FL-22. Joe Garcia is in a tight race against David Rivera in South Florida.
We have a great opportunity to enshrine Fair Districts into our state constitution - Vote YES on Amendments 5 and 6!
Vote. Somebody has to do it, and if our side doesn't, the other side will.
