I am asking you to help a leader, a visionary, and a friend.

Alan Grayson and I have one thing in common; we tell it like it is. Sometimes it sounds pointed and direct. Sometimes it catches people off guard. But it is better to be direct so everyone understands the serious consequences of our actions.

Many thanked me for speaking out candidly about the Terri Schiavo episode. And it is time we thank Alan Grayson for his candor, and his open and honest arguments on health care reform.

Alan is a passionate fighter who will never, ever be afraid to voice his opinion on the issues that affect all our lives.

So now I'm asking you to do something for all of us. Please contribute to Alan's reelection campaign, at www.CongressmanWithGuts.com.

I am a Floridian and I know Alan's district well. It was specifically drawn for a Republican, and the Republicans were very upset that they lost it in 2008. They will do anything to take it back. Well, it doesn't belong to them; it belongs to the people, and the people elected Alan Grayson.

I am also the Vice Chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The Executive Director of the National Republican Congressional Committee says that Alan is the Republican's #1 target in 2010.

We need Alan Grayson in Congress. The people of Florida's 8th Congressional District need Alan Grayson in Congress. So I'm asking you to help. We have to make his March 27th online "moneybomb" work.

Please go to www.CongressmanWithGuts.com now, and give whatever you can give. Every dollar counts!

Let's do it!

Debbie
