2. Not unless you want to support a crook

I wouldn't even think about letting Grayson have access to my email address, much less give him any money.

8. Here's a link to a post I made yesterday

This is one of many issues with Grayson.

9. Here's one of him calling his wife of 25 years and mother of his 5 children

A bigamist to try to keep her from getting any of his estimated $30 million in assets.

Court documents filed by Grayson claim his wife was already married to a man named Robert Carson; an accusation backed up by Florida court records showing Lolita did not obtain a judgment dissolving her previous marriage until March 1994.

Mark Longwell, an attorney for the lawmaker’s wife, strenuously denied those claims, arguing that she had divorced Carson in 1981 in Guam, and criticizing Grayson for “conduct unbecoming of a congressman, let alone a human being.”

“I keep hearing Alan Grayson’s attorneys villainizing Mrs. Grayson. They’re trying to position her as some sort of a fraud or a liar. That’s a ridiculous claim,” Longwell told msnbc. “Only after giving 29, almost 30 years of her life and raising five children and helping him accumulate enormous marital wealth — when she stood up for herself and said she wanted a divorce, his response was to use the most cutthroat legal tactic he can to try to deny her any of the rights of that marriage and to avoid the responsibilities he has to her.”

10. Here's one on his most recent scandal

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/alan-grayson-hedge-fund-ethics-119553

"The specific ethics provisions tied to the funds Grayson manages, two of which are based in the Cayman Islands, sit in a sort of gray area and have never been examined by the House Ethics Committee.

Attorneys for the Democratic congressman say the funds are exempt from House ethics rules that ban a sitting member from naming a financial entity after themselves. But their stated rationale is considered “complete nonsense” by legal and finance experts who reviewed the fund’s regulatory filings.
The House ethics rules do not allow a sitting member to “permit his name to be used” in the name or advertising material for entities like law firms, associations and financial entities. The Grayson-run funds are Delaware-based Grayson Fund LP and Cayman Islands-based funds called Grayson Master Fund (Cayman) Ltd. and Grayson Fund (Cayman) Ltd."

3. Why Grayson? If money bomb anyone, it's going to be Sanders.

7. Gee, so soon? Why didn't he wait until Wednesday?

Yes, I googled after I posted. It's not enough time to impact tomorrow. And I don't know how well liked he is in Florida outside his district.

I'm sticking with my original post. If I money bomb anyone it will be Sanders.

I don't think Warren is the tiniest bit worried about raising money to get re-elected in Massachusetts. She's a shoo in and her donors will line up anyway.

I think nadin is correct. She's worried about retaliation from the Clintons and the DNC if Hillary is the nominee and esp if she becomes President. And money bombing Grayson ain't gonna fix that.

11. I completely agree about Warren covering her behind.
