We Are Off The Air

You know that great positive ad for our campaign that we showed you a couple of days ago? That breath of fresh air, dispelling the stench of paid political advertising?

It's off the air. We have assumed broadcast silence.

Why? Because the Super PACs have spent $25.6 million on Orlando TV, and the cost of TV spots here has tripled.

We told you that we need your help to keep our positive ad on the air. And we meant it.

Click here to see our ad. If you like it, then please help us put it back on the air. If you give us $45, then 300 people will see the ad.

Here is what we're going to do. We will take whatever contributions that we receive by the close of business tomorrow, and we will spend them to put this beautiful, uplifting ad back on the air on Tuesday.

So it's come down to you. And now it's up to you. Will you help?

Sincerely,

The Grayson Team

P.S. Today marks the end of the FEC quarterly reporting period, and blah, blah, blah, blah. That's one more reason for you to help.

I said I would support you if you ran again.

It was time to put my money where my mouth is.

I love your outspoken voice, but frankly you have a direct line
to the lib media.
Keep using it.
