Dear Michael –

Last week, Alan Grayson won the MSNBC trifecta, appearing on The Rachel Maddow Show,PoliticsNation With Al Sharpton, and The Ed Show. We told you already that on the Rachel Maddow Show, Alan had the guts to point out that America now has the 5th most unequal distribution of wealth in the entire world. Alan followed through with his interview on Rev. Sharpton’s show. Here is what he said:

GRAYSON: One thing I mentioned earlier this week is that there are only four countries in the entire world that have a more unequal distribution of wealth than the United States. And how is that working for Zimbabwe, actually?

There`s so many different ways that ordinary people in this country are just not getting a fair deal. And the result of that is exactly what you see: massive unemployment; many people who can`t see a doctor when they`re sick; efforts to cheat us out of our own Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, even the unemployment insurance that you pay for in every paycheck. And it`s got to end right now.

The cattle are saying, “We are not going to be cattle any longer, stop prodding us.”

Yes, WE ARE NOT CATTLE. And we need elected officials who treat us with respect, not treat us like cattle. That’s why Alan Grayson deserves your support today.

The Occupy Wall Street protesters are peacefully protesting against this inequality. Rev. Sharpton pointed out that the Right Wing is saying that these protesters will “drag you in the streets and kill you.” This was Alan’s response:

GRAYSON: The [Right Wing is] so out-of-touch with the way ordinary people actually live. There are so many people now who don`t have a job. There are so many people who are afraid of losing their jobs. There are so many people who wonder, “How are we going to pay the mortgage this month. How are we going to pay the rent this month?” There are so many people who have already lost their homes and, frankly, they`re living in their cars. That`s the America that we have seen today, that`s been created by Wall Street.

And there`s a reason why the [protesters] are occupying Wall Street and, let`s say, not Central Park, or Grant`s Tomb. It`s because Wall Street created this system, perpetuates the system, and controls — dominates — the political life in this country, to the point where you`re not even allowed to be heard anymore, unless you actually go and show up.

So they`re doing the last thing that people can still do in this world: they`re showing up. That`s what they`re doing, occupying Wall Street, occupying San Francisco, occupying Detroit, occupying Orlando tomorrow. They`re showing up, and saying, “We will not take it anymore.”

Yes, WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE. We need someone in office who understands that, who understand us, and who will be our champion. That’s why Alan Grayson deserves your support today.

Rev. Sharpton then pointed out something shocking: that in America, average income has dropped by seven percent in the last decade. And yet the Right Wing insults and ridicules the people who are protesting against that. Alan’s response:

GRAYSON: It`s a shame that it`s necessary, but this is what people need to do in order to be heard. Because, in the end, what we`re supposed to be doing is creating a good life for ourselves, a good life for our grandchildren, a good life for everybody in America. But that`s not what people see.

What people see is that they`re falling into debt slavery — falling into debt slavery — where they owe more than they own on their house. They`re buried in credit card debt. They have no conceivable way to get out or even to survive. That`s what`s happening right now, and people are fed up.

It’s true – we are fed up. Who else has the courage and the insight to say these things? Alan Grayson is the kind of person who can lead us away from debt slavery, and into freedom.
