Florida’s Congressional merry-go-round..

Seems the Rethug Dave Weldon isn’t going to seek reelection. That’s a good thing of course and it seems there are plenty of Republican’s that are seeing the writing on the wall this election cycle. Can I get an amen on that?

Another good thing for Florida is Alan Grayson. He is running for Congress, and he is a progressive Democrat. Alan is a pro-peace, pro-impeachment pro-justice candidate at a time when American needs just that. He has been written up in Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone , The Wall Street Journal (subscription, but you can read a transcript here ), CBS, and others. Alan Grayson knows more about what is REALLY going down if Iraq than almost anyone in this country.

Jet, a writer here at Sirens, has been pounding the digital pavement trying to help Alan tap into the broader Netroots community and it is about to pay off. This Saturday Howie Klein, with the support of Jane from FDL and John from Crooks and Liars will help promote Alan to a wider audience. They have come to believe Alan is exactly the kind of person the Netroots community should support. If you want to help Alan get elected, you can vote for him here at Democracy for America (DFA). To read a bloggers perspective on Alan, check out Down with Tyranny here.

Let’s help Alan Grayson get elected..lord knows there aren’t enough progressive Congressman in office.
