Support Alan Grayson and You Might Win a Green Day Guitar

Three years ago, fed up with endless right-wing attacks on Democratic plans to help the 50 million Americans who can't see a doctor when they're sick, and to make healthcare affordable for everyone else, I stood on the Floor of the House, and mocked the Republicans for their "healthcare plan": Don't get sick and if you do get sick, die quickly.

And when the Republicans demanded an apology - an apology for pointing out the obvious - I did apologize: to the 40,000 Americans who die each year because they have no healthcare, and to their loved ones.

With thousands of homeowners in my district fighting foreclosures, I introduced an innovative mandatory mediation program that cut foreclosures in half. The program was so successful that it was adopted statewide.

When the Republicans were so bent on extending their tax cuts for the rich, I calculated and exposed on the Floor of the House just how much money these tax cuts were worth each year for Rush Limbaugh ($2,689,135), Glenn Beck ($1,512,352), Sarah Palin ($638,352), Newt Gingrich ($247,352) and George W. Bush himself ($187,552).

What does all this mean? That I'm fighting for the things that you believe in. If you want to support a candidate who has earned it, then join our grassroots campaign. When you do, you can win a Green Day guitar - a blue Squier Stratocaster -- autographed by all 3 members of the band.

Courage and outspokenness have a price. In the 2010 election, I was the Republican's #1 target. Special interests spent a staggering $5.5 million to defeat me.

Which is why I need your help. Please contribute to our campaign.

The big corporations, the lobbyists and the special interests aren't going to give my campaign a penny. So I have to turn to people like you; people who want nothing in return for their contribution but good government. Please join the 100,000 contributors who are the real power behind our People Power campaign.

You'll be entered to win the Green Day autographed guitar donated by former Warner Reprise Records Chief Howie Klein. It's a great way to support our People Powered campaign and maybe win a beautiful autographed Green Day guitar at the same time. (Or you can enter by sending an e-mail to rockandroll@graysonforcongress.com.)

The People, united, will never be defeated. Join our campaign today.

Courage,

Alan Grayson
