Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson's oldest child has a wish for her father's birthday: that you give money to his re-election campaign.

An email from the Committee to elect Alan Grayson reads in part:

Dear Friend,

March 13th is my dad Alan Grayson's 52nd birthday. If you appreciate all he's doing to stand up for all of us, I encourage you to give a gift of $52 to his campaign.

This week, Dad called for a vote on the public option. He introduced a super-simple four-page bill to let all Americans buy into Medicare.

The email is signed by Skye Grayson, the congressman's 13 year old daughter.

It follows another oddity from the Grayson campaign last week in which it claims it's poll found Florida Republican voters would choose Grayson over any of their party's candidates. The poll said Grayson had 27.8 percent of the GOP vote.

What others are saying

  • Grayson
    My money is going to Patricia Sullivans campaign. I can't wait to wave Grayson good bye. He is wasting taxpayer money. Out with the crooked politician and in with a true patriot. Patricia Sullivan will work for the people with honesty and integrity.
  • Another Poll Lie
    I would not believe any poll that said the GOP voted for this discrace. Let me see the numbers, who was polled and where they live.
  • Grayson
    Grayson I hope you enjoy your last days in congress. In November you will be in the unemployment line. You are just a piece of rotten garbage. Take Obama with you.
  • Grayson,
    In the single sentence quoted from the solicitation letter, there are TWO punctuation errors. That proves it was written by a 13 year old.
    Grayson you are a despicable piece of garbage. You will be voted OUT, as so will your Commie partner, Obama.
  • Skye Grayson
    Perhaps we should call it the "Audacity of Alan Grayson" for letting his 13 year old daughter solicit money for his campaign of lies and deceit. This is what one might call pathological parenthood. The man has no shame and will do absolutely anything, say anything to get reelected. To this extent, he is no different than any other career politician. We need to vote them ALL out of office. Grayson is a poster boy for everything that is wrong with American politics. This Obama-loving left-wing radical must never be reelected to any public office, ever. He cannot be trusted.
  • Medicare Buy-In is a ludicrous solution.
    I will leave Al's daughter out of this discussion, even if he won't. I'll tackle the whole Medicare buy-in proposal. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the annual cost for one person to purchase Medicare with drug coverage at $7,600.00. Multiply this for a family of 4 and you get $30,400! Sounds like something most of us can afford, huh! Great plan Al! I'm sure your future opponent, Patricia Sullivan, will not float such ridiculous legislation when she takes office in 2010!
  • Alan Grayson
    I'm with others- I'll give him teh $52 if he will just go away. I wouldn't vote for that man to manage an ant farm- much less make decisions for me in Washington.
  • BYE BYE Grayson
    Its over in 2010 no chance for you. Patricia Sullivan is taking your seat. Look her up Patricia Sullivan for congress.com
  • I suppose if he gets enough $52 donations he can buy just about anything. Congressional seats need to be earned, not bought. Patricia Sullivan will earn her seat in Congress with hard work and integrity.
  • Alan Grayson is a yutz and a putz.
  • I would give him any amount of money if it would help get rid of him.Instead of looking at him as a leader take a good look at Patricia Sullivan, this lady is what we need,she the only person that really wants to work for the people.
  • Misusing family?
    This really takes the cake. Dis-Grayson's own messiah, Maobama, pleaded with the media to not involve his children during the campaign (which did not stop the media slamming Palin's family, but we know how even handed they are). And so this ex-funny farm resident stoops to yet an even lower level by using his own children in his fund raising. Well I say, that opens then field for what ever gets thrown at you Al-boyo, or at your family. Don't start crying when the stinky stuff starts hitting the fan.
    Time for a real citizen representative, roll on November.
  • How Low Can He Go
    I thought Grayson couldn’t stoop any lower, but to have his 13-year-old daughter solicit money for his campaign is even lower than what I thought he was capable of. But I guess after seeing and hearing what he has said and done over the last 18 months, I shouldn’t be surprised at this latest fund raising gimmick. He is a politician without the ability to separate what is morally acceptable and what is not. This is just another example of why we need someone in Congress that has the moral integrity that Grayson doesn’t seem to have…someone like Patricia Sullivan.
  • Funds for campaigns
    Isn't this illegal as defined in the complaint about the mycongressmanisnuts.com? Getting the media to solicit campaign directly is NOT what I would call a very prudent way to campaign. This dolt needs to forget campaigning and have a going out of business sale. Pack up his junk and head back to the coal country where he came from>=.
  • Happily
    I will more than happy to give him to give him three times that much. There is a catch, he must buy a one way ticket to a far away destination, I do not even want to know where, as long as he leaves our state. Frankly he is an embarrassment!
  • Grayson
    I will donate 52 dollars to his opponent in his name
  • Alan Grayson
    It seems that Al is getting desperate. He's beginning to remove all the stops in his attempt to win another election. Al's phantom statistics have made a come back, just in another form. Last time they were about health care, they were proven to be a lie, now they're in the form of a poll that is equally unbelievable. His use of his daughter is below contempt but is a good barometer of his desperation. Whats he going to do when he has to face Conservative Republican Patricia Sullivan in the General Election? When he comes face to face with a person who possesses true moral and professional courage like Patricia Sullivan it's "Good bye Al".
  • Alan Grayson's Birthday
    I'll donate $52.00 if he crawls under a rock & drops dead! His Happy Birthday Party is being held at a Funny Farm loaded with nuts just like himself.
  • SKYE GRAYSON: Give my dad $52 for his birthday
    Congressman Grayson is a very evil man. He only ran for congress 2 years ago to improve his qualifications for his true career goal of being a lobbyist. The voters of central Florida need to return him to his home and profession in northern Virginia.
