We’re Back On The Air – Thanks To You
Last edited Tue Oct 2, 2012, 03:59 PM - Edit history (1)
We told you on Sunday that we were off the air, thanks to the fact that the Koch Brothers and Karl Rove had pushed the cost of TV ads in Orlando sky-high. And we said that we would take all of the contributions that we received through close of business yesterday, and use that money to put our uplifting, inspirational positive ad back on TV.
Well, 1000+ of us answered the call, and that ad went back up on the air this morning.
If you are one of those 1000+ supporters who contributed, thank you. If you are not, then you can alleviate the desperate guilt and shame that you must feel by contributing right now. You will soon feel better. And after Nov. 6, so will America.
Here is today’s miscellany:
(1) The winner of the Green Day autographed guitar is Judith Wilson. If you are disappointed that you didn’t win the Green Day guitar, all I can say is that my younger daughter is even more disappointed than you are, and she didn’t win it, either. Thanks again to Howie Klein, former Warner Reprise Records exec and current Blue America PAC leader, who provided the guitar from his incredible personal collection. We wanted to make the presentation of the guitar as special as the guitar itself, so we invited Democratic House Assistant Leader Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) to present the guitar to Judith during Clyburn’s visit to Orlando, last Friday.
(2) Dennis Kucinich wants to continue to do good after he leaves Congress in January. He has founded an organization called Kucinich Action, which will function as a political action committee. Kucinich Action is deciding which candidates to support. Naturally, I hope that I’m one of them. If you have a moment, please click here, and ask Kucinich Action to support yours truly.
(3) Good news and bad news about our campaign. The good news is that our poll last week shows us with a nice lead. The bad news is that a right-wing Super PAC that attacks House Democratic candidates has reserved almost $1 million in TV time in Orlando for the last two weeks in October. So . . . we need your help.
(4) A reminder to those who find themselves with more time than money these days – please sign up for our virtual phone bank. It helps you to make calls to voters in our district. We need your help on this, like, now.
(5) On Sunday, we are having our last moneybomb of this election cycle – “30 Days to Victory.” When you decide whether to participate, please remember one thing – this is virtually the only campaign in America, in either party, that is fueled by contributions from people like you. Not the special interests, not the lobbyists, not the billionaires, not the multinational corporations. People like you. And because of that, when we win on Nov. 6, I will owe nothing to anyone but the voters. Thanks to you.
Courage,
Alan Grayson
