The news broke yesterday, but I hadn't seen anyone post about it.
http://www.cfnews13.com/... To Run For Congress
Daniel Webster, former republican speaker of the Florida house is now announcing his bid to run for Alan Grayson's seat. Apparently every last one of the people the GOP got to come over here to Central Florida ran away with their tails between their legs and this is the only one now who has the gumption.
Alan Grayson's congressional district, #8 which includes the Orlando, Winter Park, Orange County, Lake County areas is definitely a mixed bag.
This guy starts his announcement speech talking about the teabaggers and crowed about denying access to abortion in Fl. And of course talking about being a Christian and those family values.
Then of course he's got to mention the socialistic stimulus bill, boy this guy is hitting all the beckster's talking points.
Alan Grayson is one of the few progressive voices in Congress with the guts to say it like it is to anyone. He is also smart as a whip and while he may not have gotten anything passed (that I know of), he for darned sure has introduced commonsense bills and ammendments.
Again, please Kossacks, put your support behind Alan Grayson.
