Draft Grayson for Senate 2012!
Men dont follow titles, they follow courage. Now our people know you. Noble, and common, they respect you. And if you would just lead them to freedom, they'd follow you. And so would I. - Braveheart
Message
Rep Grayson's Congressional district has a greater percentage of Republicans than does the State of Florida. Grayson proves that progressives can win in tough districts.Key Points
Senator Nelson's betrayal on the Public Option has helped:- The Radical Right to get away with calling Obama a liar, a racist, and a Nazi
- Republicans get away with scare tactics like "death panels", "illegal alien coverage", and "taking money away from seniors".
- The Insurance industry to keep spending $700,000/day attacking Obama's approval rating (needed to pass other platform promises). Up until early June it was over 60%. After 6 months of betrayal the President's rating barely hovers over 50%
- Bring Democrats closer to another 1994; when the failure to keep our promise of meaningful health care reform left Democrats out of power in Congress for 16 years.

Call to Action
What has begging Senator Nelson for a Public Option gotten you?
"Senator Nelson, your failure to support our page 10 platform promise of a public option is the greatest threat to the future of our party's reform efforts. If you do not wish to support our platform, then you should announce your retirement so we can elect Alan Grayson to the Senate in 2012."
