Alan Grayson

He introduced legislation to prevent a corporate takeover of government in America.  He introduced the  “Save Our Democracy” Platform which aims to stave off the threat of “corpocracy.”

“Both of my parents were teachers, so I strongly support public education.  One of the most important roles of government is to teach our children. My support of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act delivered more than $200 million in additional aid to the schools in my district.”

“I want to use incentives to spark the development of energy-efficient cars, appliances and buildings. We will develop domestic energy resources like solar, wind, geothermal, clean coal and hydropower.  Let’s produce more energy at home so that we can break our dependence on foreign oil.”

“We need to tackle government spending and return to the days of budget surpluses, like the ones we created under the Clinton Administration.  But first, we need to ensure that we avoid another recession, and that there is a job for everyone who needs one.”

“We need universal, comprehensive, affordable health care in America.  With 122 Americans dying every day because they have no health insurance, it can’t come soon enough.”

“Instead of spending billions on the other side of the world, we can spend that money here to rebuild America. We simply can no longer afford these wars. The American people are tired of wars that do not make us safer.”
