HEY DU!! Help Alan Grayson take back the Florida 8th District from Republiclone Ric Keller

[ddeclue]

Help DU Ric Keller right out of office in the Eighth District in Florida.

THIS IS A WINNABLE RACE FOLKS!

THE FACTS OF THIS RACE:

Alan has put together the central Florida A team of politics from experienced grassroots operatives, put over a million dollars of his own money into this race as well as his time and effort into the race and is running proudly as the kind of liberal that Michele Bachmann wants to investigate.

Alan has spent years investigating and prosecuting Iraq War profiteers recovering millions of stolen taxpayer dollars from companies like Custer Battles.

Alan will be the ideal person to investigate Wall Street Corruption since he not only has tremendous investigative experience as a trial attorney but ALSO previously ran a fortune 500 telecom during the 1980's as the CEO.

Alan believes strongly that universal health care is a right not a privilege and will work hard for regular voters.

Alan has worked within the local party structure and helped out as a volunteer for several years now even though he could easily keep to himself and live a very comfortable life.

Alan surprised all the pundits and experts by trouncing his Democratic Primary opponent by over 20 points when that opponent was the establishment favorite and previously won the primary but lost to Ric Keller by 7 points.

Alan is currently 7 points up in this race over Ric Keller which is out performing the district registration number by 6 points.

The district started off 3 points in the hole in registration terms but through Alan's tremendous ground game registering voters he has pushed the 8th District into a +1 point for Democrats by registration.

Isn't it time we finally showed Ric Keller the DOOR? He's been a yes man for the Bush Administration for 8 years and now he's breaking his own pledge not to run for a fifth term.

This is an email I received from the campaign today:

Every 10 years, after the U.S. Census, the boundaries that determine who votes in which districts are redrawn. The last time this redistricting was done, in 2002, the Republicans, who were in control of the Florida legislature, gerrymandered the districts to favor their own candidates.
Thanks to these underhanded tactics, Florida's Eighth Congressional District now stretches all the way from Ocala to Celebration, encompassing parts of four counties. This was done to ensure that District 8 would remain solidly Republican until 2012 - but the Republicans didn't count on the overwhelming tide of change now sweeping the nation.

As of September 30, District 8 has 1,000 more registered Democrats than registered Republicans.

The people have spoken: District 8 is blue. Now all that's left is to be sure our voices are heard on Election Day. To do that, we need your help. Please encourage your friends, family and neighbors to vote, whether it's by absentee ballot, in early voting or on Election Day.

To avoid long lines and traffic problems on Election Day, early voting is your best bet. It starts Monday, October 20, and runs through Saturday, November 1. For information on locations and hours of operation, call your supervisor of elections office or go to the website.
