Former Rep. Pat Schroeder: “I Want Alan Grayson to Be My Congressman”
Today's "30 Days to Victory" Moneybomb video is from former Member of Congress and progressive icon Pat Schroeder. Pat represented Alan Grayson years ago when Alan lived in Colorado, and Alan represented Pat after she moved to Florida. Pat juggled being a mother and a Member of Congress, sometimes bringing diapers to the Floor of the House. She was a leading proponent of the Family and Medical Leave Act, which requires employers to give employees unpaid leave for family and medical emergencies. Pat Schroeder's memoir of her time in Congress is entitled, "24 Years of House Work . . . And the Place is Still a Mess."
Here is why Pat Schroeder is urging you to support Alan's campaign:
I'm former Congresswoman Pat Schroder. For a long time I was in Congress, representing Colorado and doing everything I could to promote women's and progressive issues.
But let me tell you, now I live in Florida, and my Congressman was Alan Grayson. I want him back! He was so important. He was one of the very few guys who was really willing to roll up his shirt sleeves and fight -- fight for real people rather than the big corporate interests.
So he was a refreshing breath of air. He also probably has more smarts than half the Congress put together!
We need Alan back in Congress. I hope you agree with me. And I hope you will help us on the final push. He can always use money. He can always use good wishes. We really need to take the Congress back.
Sincerely,
Former Rep. Pat Schroeder

Pat was my congresswoman since literally when I was born. Her successor is quite good too.
I'll kick in another $25 later for you this week. 
P.S. - I had no idea that you lived in Denver. Wonder if you can give me a general idea of where you used to live.... Even back then Pat's district was pretty big and blue...
