The Alan Grayson for U.S. Congress campaign is pleased to announce endorsement by AFSCME D.C. 37 Florida Retirees Association.

All three executive boards voted unanimously to recommend the endorsement to the general membership.  At five general membership meetings, held throughout Florida, the endorsement was unanimously approved.  Eight votes, and eight unanimous endorsements of Alan Grayson.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) has 1.4 million members.  It is one of the five largest unions in America.  It includes nurses, correction officers, child care providers, emergency medical teams, sanitation workers, and many other public servants.  As AFSCME proudly states, "for us, public service is not just a job, it's a calling."

Organized labor supports Alan Grayson because Alan Grayson supports organized labor.  Alan's mother and father were union members their whole working lives.  As a boy, he lived through two strikes -- both of his parents were out of work, and no money was coming in to pay the bills.  He remembers.

"I am very proud to have the support of organized labor," Alan said.  "Organized labor has served as the conscience of America for 100 years.  It created the middle class, and it brought us health coverage, paid vacations, pensions, workplace safety and the weekend.  In Congress, I want to promote social justice, just as organized labor does.  I support the right of all workers to organize.  The People, united, will never be defeated."

Alan Grayson is the real Democrat in this race.  He is with you on the issues, and he'll fight for you.  Vote for Alan Grayson, on August 26 and November 4.
