2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumPancakes? French Toast? Bacon & Eggs?
There is this thing going on in Washington, D.C., on January 21st. Maybe you've heard about it. The President's Inauguration. Last time, four years ago, it drew almost two million people.
That's at noon. On the same day, earlier, there will be another major event I'll be eating breakfast.

Would you like to join me?]
We will invite two of our supporters one from the Orlando area, and one from anywhere in the United States to join us. We will choose them from among the supporters who contribute $25 or more to our campaign between now and 11:59 pm EDT on the night of Tuesday, Jan. 15. (Or you can send an e-mail to inauguration@graysonforcongress.com.) If you make two or more qualifying contributions, that will count as two or more entries. We will notify the winners on Wednesday, and provide transportation and accommodation. Void where prohibited, subject to change, blah, blah, blah.
Now think about this. Unless you're on some kind of lunch/dinner diet, you know that you're going to have breakfast that day. So why not have breakfast with me? I promise to chew quietly, dab the corners of my mouth with the napkin when needed, and use the small fork before the large fork.
And then there is that other thing at noon, which our winners can see because they will be in D.C.
So what do you say? If you are just salivating at the thought of a good breakfast, and that other thing, then go to https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/breakfastwithgrayson.
Courage,
Rep. Alan Grayson

(40,416 posts)What a wonderful idea.
Wish I had the cash to donate. It's been a very tough time financially.
It would be worth it, just so some DUer would get to go eat sausage and eggs with Representative Grayson.
Regardless, DU loves you madly, Alan.
Oh, almost forgot the...

But spare change is hard to come by these days........

The chicken was involved. The Pig was committed.
Sorry, can't help it.
Happy New Year Congressman!

(One other point -- if you're in DC for the Inauguration, it better be a pretty early breakfast if you want to get through security to the viewing area in time)
