Thank You!

[Alan Grayson]

We won our election, by a double-digit margin. Grayson 54%, Generic Tea Party Republican 43%.

Why did we win? Because of everyone who helped.

To the legions of volunteers who made 100,000+ live telephone calls for us, thank you.

To our 100,000+ contributors, whether you gave $0.01 or $5200.00, thank you.

To our tireless canvassers, who knocked on 80,000 doors in the last four months alone, thank you.

And of course, to our voters, thank you.

And to the Koch Brothers, who ran vicious and deceptive ads against us, we won, no thanks to you. You fooled a lot of voters this year, but not ours.

Our voters said “Yes!” to more jobs, better jobs, better benefits, healthcare for everyone, and public services like education and transportation that work. Our voters said “Yes!” to justice, equality and peace.

As you did, whenever you helped our campaign.

Look, the last election that produced so few House Democrats was the one in 1928. The last election that produced so few Democrats in state legislatures was the one in 1928. Every Democrat is vulnerable – they wait, they sneak up on you, and then they drop $3 million in vicious attack ads on your head. Every Democrat seat was up for grabs this year, and our supporters made it possible to keep ours. And keep fighting for progressive principles. To keep fighting for progress.

I recognize that a lot of bad things happened on Tuesday. In fact, a lot of bad things have been happening for a long time, and there is no end in sight. But [link:https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/gfc2014?refcode=110614Email&amount=20.16&recurring=48|we won.

Together, we won]. And whatever you did to help, you share in that victory. And you can feel good – no, great! – about that.

Courage,

Rep. Alan Grayson
