"Not the first person to tell me about Democratic Underground."
When I talked to a staffer today from Congressman Alan Graysons office this morning I told her to make sure she visited Democratic Underground because her boss there was a legend at our little corner of the world.

I was pleasantly surprised when she told me -and have I mentioned she's got a million dollar voice?- that I was not the first person on the phone today to sing the praises of Democratic Underground.

Way to go Duers!:toast: :yourock: :applause: :hi:

If you're out there Alan Grayson, DU loves you!

6. Sigh, it's my experience that DU doesn't contribute more than moral support.
Much ado and little else.

22. Ex-Senator Larry Craig from Idaho hated Democratic Underground
And he still does.
Whether you know it or not, many of the representatives in Congress had staffers monitor comments made about them at this forum.

It was a lot more than moral support that got Larry Craig out of office.

31. You can donate at his website....
Hello everyone,

I've been a lurker here for years, but don't post much. Yesterday, I donated to a politician for only the 2nd time in my life.
I can't afford much, but I gave Rep Grayson $15. If we all gave just a little, we'll make sure he stays there fighting for us.

I also put a note on the donate button about Democratic Underground. It would be nice to have him in here every now and then for some conversation.

I only wish I had the courage to shout "You Lie" at all the Republicans who surround me down here in southern Louisiana. Rep Grayson definitely has the courage we need more of all over the country.

Peace,
P.R.

39. Well, Rox, a post like that will make you welcome anytime
And you inspired me to go to Representative Grayson's page and donate myself & cite DU

My Message:

I am making a small contribution. Everyone at Democraticunderground.com sends their enthusiastic greetings.

Thank you for finally being a Democrat with the intelligence and courage to take on the Republican Taliban.


Contribute here:

Yes, now I'll be on another political donation email list, but it's WAY better than those fundraising emails I get from Harry Reid.

7. Sad thing is, Grayson is like this a lot.. What drew the attention of the media
was the PUKES complaining and trying to get an apology.. when everyone said, fuck you, its not a Joe, you lie moment, then the media couldn't shut it up.

17. Yep. He had some outstanding campaign commercials.
Yesterday Real Radio (Philips Phile) played (and replayed) an audio version of his satirical take on the health insurance industry. Hopefully this is a beginning of people on the left standing up to the bullshit perpetuated by the right and not an aberration (as viewed through the "librul" media).

:-)
