Yesterday, a group of anti-reproductive-choice zealots protested outside my Orlando district office to demand that I defund Planned Parenthood and return all contributions the womens health organization has given to my campaign. I thought youd like to know what I told them:
Nope.
Its really that simple. I will never waiver in my support for reproductive freedom and womens health care.
Make a $3 contribution and stand with my continued support of Planned Parenthood >>
Courage,
Rep. Alan Grayson
Candidate for U.S. Senate

Surely just an oversight on Congressman Grayson's part that it wasn't included in his post.

Senator Grayson?
Fred Sanders
(23,946 posts)to remind everyone at DU of his NO vote on Iran peace....and to give an earful and NO money.
Daily Kos whip count has him as "leaning NO"....could hardly believe it....what is the deal with him?
Unless Grayson IS a nuclear physicist, then my apologies.

Lots of us at DU are looking for real Democrats we can count on!

(23,946 posts)If you say "nope" to the Iran peace deal and you can we can say nope to much more DU funding.
Religion and politics do not mix. Didn't Intellectual Grayson learn anything from the GOP making them inseparable?

(21,506 posts)He almost doubles it.
With next to nothing to show for it. Sure he barks loud and says things we all like to hear at times.
Meanwhile the largest portion of the money he gets goes not to promoting issues but to more fundraising.
His fundraising is largely done to do more fundraising.
You want to send money to that be my guest. I figured out what he was up to long ago.

(21,506 posts)it is certainly your prerogative.
Meanwhile while he certainly isn't a Billionaire he is a multi millionaire and I think his divorce proceeding paint a pretty clear picture of who Alan really is.
