Hell yeah, Grayson!

[Epic]

Uhhh, he doesn't vote for the constitution, so this doesn't make sense.

Uhhh, he doesn't vote for the constitution, so this doesn't make sense.

You think this is some kind of political favor he's doing for someone?

[Bman]

Do we have anyone from his district in Florida who can get him to tell us how and why he thinks the health care bill is constitutional?

[amy31416]

From what I've seen of this guy so far, I like him.

[Knightskye]

Someone get him a copy of "Economics in One Lesson." Apparently, he voted for Cash for Clunkers:

he is an ahole...

Greyson just won 10 points from me on this though. Private schools are already state but its the thought that counts. In the end it is up to us to finish the Constitutional education.

[NYgs23]

Nope. We don't need more federalization of education. No, no, no.

[Chieftain1776]

It's a ruse. He just wants to build off his opposition to the Fed and dupe us into thinking he's a Constitutionalist like Ron Paul. Just silly:


Rep. Alan Grayson was standing in the middle of Disney World when it hit him: What Americans really need is a week of paid vacation.

So on Thursday, the Florida Democrat will introduce the Paid Vacation Act — legislation that would be the first to make paid vacation time a requirement under federal law.

The bill would require companies with more than 100 employees to offer a week of paid vacation for both full-time and part-time employees after they’ve put in a year on the job. Three years after the effective date of the law, those same companies would be required to provide two weeks of paid vacation, and companies with 50 or more employees would have to provide one week.

The idea: More vacation will stimulate the economy through fewer sick days, better productivity and happier employees.

“There’s a reason why Disney World is the happiest place on Earth: The people who go there are on vacation,” said Grayson, a freshman who counts Orlando as part of his home district. “Honestly, as much as I appreciate this job and as much as I enjoy it, the best days of my life are and always have been the days I’m on vacation.”

Case Closed.

[Chieftain1776]

Oh, and his district leans Republican (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida%27s_8th_congressional_district) and he's a vulnerable freshman. I don't know if anyone has declared against him though.

Dennis Kucinich and Alan Grayson are my two favorite democrats

Also, Alan Grayson is a client of Peter Schiff's EuroPacific Capital :D
