The new hit "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" earned $311 million at the box office this past weekend. Which makes one wonder - what makes Indiana Jones so special?
We think that what makes Indiana Jones so special is his uncanny sense of direction. Drop him in the Amazon jungle, the Himalayan plateau, the Sahara desert, just about anywhere, and Indiana Jones knows exactly where he is, where he wants to be, and how he's going to get there.
Now compare that to our own intrepid explorer, Congressional candidate Alan Grayson. Alan has visited 175 countries, and every single time, he has found his way home. That shows a very good sense of direction.
And what about Congressman Ric Keller? Well, on March 26th, Keller made one of his rare visits to Central Florida, in order to conduct "mobile office hours" in Leesburg. There was only one problem with that - Leesburg is over five miles outside of District 8. That shows a poor sense of direction.
This month, four different national polls found that almost 80 percent of all Americans think that the United States is heading in the wrong direction - the highest percentage in history.
Alan Grayson knows in what direction America should go. Toward health coverage for everyone, affordable mortgages, lower gas prices, better jobs, and lower taxes on the middle class. And out of Iraq.
And Ric Keller? How can he find the right direction out of the mess we're all in, when he can't even find the right direction to District 8?
Vote for Alan Grayson, on August 26 and November 4. For a new direction.
