The Koch Brothers Attack Begins - Now
According to Forbes magazine, the Koch Brothers are the fourth and fifth richest Americans; between them, they have $62,000,000,000. They have pledge to spend a mere $60,000,000 of that fortune to defeat President Obama. Their front group, “Americans for Prosperity,” already has spent $33,000,000 on 44,207 ads in the presidential race alone. And they peeled of $2,000,000 to run blistering, insulting ads against me in 2010.
Well, they’re back. And that’s why I need your help, right now.

Yesterday, the Koch Brothers’ front-group delivered 27”-long door hangers to Orlando. At the top, they feature something that you wouldn’t think is possible – pictures of me and President Obama that make me look darker than the President is. Below that, there is this headline: “ALAN GRAYSON: A Rubber Stamp For Obama’s Failing Agenda.”
I’m sure that it will come as a surprise to the White House that I’m a rubber stamp for them. But the Koch Brothers apparently think I am.
There follows the usual right-wing propaganda: complaints about the “healthcare takeover,” “green energy scams,” and “debt ceiling increases.” I actually voted against both debt ceiling increases, but hey, the Koch Brothers never let the truth get in their way.
And then there is this: “Alan Grayson’s policies support the job-killing agenda of President Obama and hurt Florida families.” Lies, piled upon lies, and heaped over more lies. We actually brought so much money into Orlando that the local employment rate dropped below the statewide rate for the first time in years.
It comes down to this: we need YOUR help to fight THEIR lies with OUR truth. And we need your help now.

And here is the kicker: how much of this agitprop tripe do you think that the Koch Brothers delivered to Orlando yesterday? Answer: 80,000 copies. Enough to hang one on the door of every single likely Republican voter in our district, and plenty of Independents and Democrats, too. Because they have money to burn.
Look, the time has come. As Shakespeare put it in Julius Caesar, they have cried “havoc,” and let slip the dogs of war.
If you plan to help this campaign between today and November 6, now would be a good time. Thanks.
