OK, EVERYONE!! It's time to flood Grayson with money, every cent you can afford.

[Jackpine Radical]

Let's prove to the chickenshit wing of the Democratic Party that there's big bucks to be had for anyone willing to tell it like it is about the Republicans.

Pussyfooting, mealymouthing and wimping out with whiny apologies when the Republicans demand them will not be tolerated.

Let's turn "going all Grayson on the lying shitheads" into a viral phrase.

1. I put my money where my admiration is yesterday

The site you want is "Grayson for Congress." It's got the donation page.

[timeforpeace]

14. This is the problem. We give them money when they SAY something. We should wait until they DO it.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. In this case, though, I think saying something is doing something.

Specifically, by speaking out as he has, Grayson is helping to delegitimize the Republican lie machine. Compare Wilson's "You LIe" to Grayson's articulate, witty attack. A nasty sound bite versus a full meal of thought-provoking, slashing commentary. It's like Doonesbury versus that stupid fascist duck cartoon.

[Warpy]

22. What he said was important to say

and he said it in such a manner that the sound bite moron could grasp it.

This is something I want to encourage.

2. It WOULD make a statement... good idea. nt

[H2O Man]

3. Great idea!

Let's do it!

Thanks!

[movonne]

4. Do you have his web site handy???

[Jackpine Radical]

7. Yes, here:

https://www.graysonforcongress.com/

I just contributed.

[T Wolf]

5. And send a copy of your letter to your local DINO - not that they will understand. nt

[Jackpine Radical]

9. They understand $$.

In fact, that's ALL they understand.

[Richard D]

6. I can't find it now . . .

. . . but there's a website that allows for donations to be sent to the politician or cause of your choice. DU should have a page there for this.

[Jackpine Radical]

8. Here's Grayson's page:

https://www.graysonforcongress.com/

I know the one you're talking about & don't have it handy either.

[Richard D]

15. I was hoping someone would remember it.

Tried google to no avail.

I think it would be great if DU got recognition for fund-raising for this and other causes. Might get some more readership here as well.

[Jackpine Radical]

16. On Grayson's donation form there's a space for comments. I gave this link

with a note asking them to check it out. It would be nice if people would put "From DU" in the comment space.

[Joanne98]

10. I don't have any money. Someone make a donation for me.

[Jackpine Radical]

13. It will be done.

I'm gonna send the Grayson link around with a brief explanatory note to my email list too.

[kestrel91316]

11. I donated what I could. And told him we needed more in Congress with

his sort of titanium steel spine.

[peace13]

12. Did it yesterday. n/t

[Polly Hennessey]

18. Donate

I did it yesterday.

[pennylane100]

19. did it thru act blue

[Better Today]

20. Y'know, I'm a great fan of Grayson, but what does it say when we feel we must

reward someone who already received enough money to get elected for his current term needs to be rewarded with more money???

In the end doesn't that make us part of the problem too? Shouldn't we be thanking him for doing his job for us and for his constituents in some non-monetary way so as to not continue this money is the way to buy a congresscritter idea?

[Dr Fate]

23. Money seems to be all they understand. When other DEMS see what he is getting...

...for his hard work, then maybe the other DEMS will start working harder too.

I hear you- but until we can make money & politics illegal, we cant bring a knife to a gun fight.

[Better Today]

24. Well he seemed to understand something other than money, which is why I think it is almost

insulting to thank him in such a way. He gets it, or sure seems to.

[Dr Fate]

25. My intent is to send a message to other DEMS. You want some money? Then act like this dude.

And I seriously doubt that Grayson would find my intent insulting.

[Jackpine Radical]

27. Yes, exactly.

We're making the point that this is the kind of thing we want to see from our politicians. Somehow, I suspect 5 million "Thank You" notes aren't going to make as big an impression on the meek little fence-sitters and serial apologizers as $5 million in cash.

[Jackpine Radical]

26. No, we're not part of the problem.

As long as the problem remains, we have to work in the context of the problem. It's no solution to say "There shouldn't be big money in politics, therefore I'm not donating to anybody's campaign."

[Dr Fate]

21. Just did another $15.00. Who wants to pledge to match this gift?
