UPDATE:
This is an old post (2013) that now contains good news. Alan is back and running for Marco Rubio's Senate seat.
The poster below is from his opposition. I think calling Grayson 'nasty' seems a silly and weak response from Republicans given the reign of Trump. I think Alan Grayson scares Republicans. I like that in a Senator. Grayson named "most effective legislator" by Slate Magazine.
I heart you, Alan Grayson. I want you to have my babies. Here are a couple of Alan Grayson's Greatest Hits. You choose - stupid sanctimonious suckup Marco Rubio or a speak truth to power mensch like Alan Grayson. Take your choice, Florida.
One of Alan Grayson's Bill Amendments:
Petition: "I don't want the Government looking at my e-mails, my telephone records, my website records, or my GPS records. I cherish my freedom and my privacy. I am not a terrorist, and I won't let my government treat me like one. Therefore, I support Congressman Alan Grayson's 'Mind Your Own Business Act.'"
