"I'm Proud That Alan Grayson is My Congressman"
 Promoted -- from Congresswoman Pat Schroeder, Ret.

I’m former Congresswoman Pat Schroeder. Many of you know me. I used to chair the Women’s Caucus when I was in Congress for many, many years. Now I’m lucky enough to have Alan Grayson as my Congressman. And believe me, what a delight he is.

I am a proud Democrat, and I am sick and tired of Democrats who are weak. Whatever else you may say about Alan, he is tough. What we need in a Congressman is someone who fights for us, not Miss Manners.

With Alan, what you see is what you get. He is the kind of Congressman that I was – direct. We need a leader, and Alan is a leader. And in all my time in public life, I have never seen a freshman Congressman who is as effective as Alan is.

But Alan is such a delight that all the special interests in the entire world are coming down on his head. And I’m very frightened. It is so important that you help him because, unfortunately, Alan is having to defend himself all by himself, while his opponent has got all the money he could possibly want, being fire-hosed into his pockets by those special interests.

Alan Grayson is out there, working hard. For women, this is especially important, because when it comes to women’s issues, his opponent has a 13th century voting record. We just can’t go back to the 13th century.

So please, as much as I hate to ask you for money, that’s what I am doing. Please support Alan Grayson’s campaign. Because we need your help down here in Florida:

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Congresswoman Pat Schroeder (Ret.)

13. Pat was *my* congresswoman, and the only one I was PROUD to vote for!
 I have a hand-written note from her with her signature smiley face from all those years ago that I still treasure.

One difference... Pat spoke out more for poor people than Grayson, and I feel left out and ignored by Grayson's constant references to "the middle class" and hardly any mention of poor people, and even then, it's "the working poor". Those who are too old, too sick and too injured to work are left out.

I appreciate Grayson's outspoken stances, but leaving us out is hurtful and damaging.

Seems Schroeder tooks all the millions she suckered off the libs and moved to FL where there is no state income tax.  Typical lib, not wanting to pay their "fair share."

Holy Crap!!!!

Another one shows up!

Now what kind of idiot says such tripe to a bunch of primitives?

This one gets my vote for the "rubber room"! Grayson is as corrupt as they come, and a damned liar to boot!

Sheesh, these people need a keeper! Preferably one with a white coat, carryin' a straight jacket!

ETA:

Exit question......who wants to bet this is Grayson's Sock puppet? He is tryin' to get the DUmmies money! After all, isn't Patty old enough now to have Alzheimer's? Who would know? I know, I know! Surely Alan's not that much of a sleaze, right? Hahahahahahaha!!!!

Too freakin' funny!!!!!  Grayson copy/pastes a begging letter from the crier?  I forgot all about that moonbat.  She gave working women a bad name for years.

18. Wish I could vote for him but will support him anyhow.
 But why is he having to 'fight all by himself' as the letter says? Is the Party not helping him?

With Alan, what you see is what you get.

Hey Pat S., Well people have taken a look and they don't want what they see...... :rotf:

If I wanted to elect a frikkin' thief, I'd visit the county jail and back one of them! At least then, I'd know what I was gettin'! He'd probably have better ethics, too!

The young folks won't remember this, but do the older folks remember Patsy Schroeder on the House floor screaming about Rush Limbaugh giving his Mother dog food? Rush was joking about hard times and how his he'll have to feed his Mother dog food, I think this was around the millionth time the Dems said they wanted to end poverty and they were using as examples people being forced to eat dog food.

Oh I remember! Another quote taken completely out of context! For a congress critter to actually bring it to the house floor, is pretty much why they put Poor Patty to bed without desert! hahaha!
