PLEASE LOOK: DU can help Alan Grayson's efforts to help us right back. A vote - not money
Edited on Tue Sep-07-10 10:13 AM by Mira


This email just in from Alan Grayson:
http://www.democracyforamerica.com/heroes-and-villains



Quote:

We have gotten a ton of e-mails from people who say, "I live in Lower Slobovia, so I can't vote for you, but I wish I could. My Congressman is a worthless piece of you-know-what."
Well, for all those people, now is your chance.

Governor Howard Dean's Democracy For America (DFA) is asking progressives, "Who are your heroes?" And, of course, "Who are your villains?"
In the "heroes" section, I'm in the lead. Today is the last day to vote.

Please take a moment now to add your vote, and make sure that I stay on top.
Please remember: vote for me in the "heroes" column. Not the "villains" column. At least, that's what I'm hoping.
Honestly, it seems like it's getting really hard to vote "for" anyone. Both national parties are running nothing but negative ads on TV. Too often, elections seem like a choice between the lesser of two evils.

But it doesn't have to be that way. I want to be someone whom you think is worth voting for. I want to be someone whom you want to vote for. When you leave the ballot booth, I want you to have a smile on your face.
Please click here, and vote for me as a DFA "hero." Show people that you support truth and courage.
And thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
Alan Grayson

1. Done... I had a harder time deciding who to vote for Senate hero
Barbara Boxer, Bernie Sanders and Al Franken in the lead.

while I have no problem giving Alan Grayson the House hero nod, I wish we could vote for second and third choices.

'Hope this helps him in some way...

5. I couldn't vote for Blanche Lincoln as a villain.
On the DFA "about" page, it says they want to change the DEMOCRATIC party from the ground up. So why do they only want to know about REPUBLICAN villains?

This is bogus.

7. Wll that's weird, I went to villianize that Democrat from Idaho that's been
endorsed by the teaparty, and he's not on the list for House. I searched by "idaho" on the page, but only found the one congresscritter, simpson. I'm looking for that other yellow-bellied blue dog, walt minnick. Anyone else notice whose missing?
