Alan Grayson : Stop The NSA Spying on Americans it is unconstitutional

Alan Grayson "They're NOT Saying That It Prevented Terrorist Attacks AT ALL!"

DHS has declared war on the American people. This is exactly how it happened in Nazi Germany minus the new technology of course. Now with the internet and information at fingertips they will be able to succeed where Hitler failed. The Zio-Nazis globalists have one goal in mind and that is to turn the entire planet into one conglomerate with all resources at their fingertips and everyone enslaved into their banking system, the U.N. was created for this purpose which was stated in Bush's 91 speech

ALAN GRAYSON on The NSA and Prism Programs



Alan Mark Grayson is the United States Representative for Florida's 9th congressional district and a member of the Democratic Party. He previously served as Representative for Florida's 8th congressional district from 2009 to 2011.   
Grayson made it a priority to increase the amount of federal money returning to his district. He often said that people in his district had been "exporting taxes and importing debt." During his first year in office, the amount of federal grant dollars returning to the district nearly doubled with a 98% increase.Grayson established a grant notification system that notifies subscribers immediately when a federal grant opportunity in their areas of interest becomes available. He also hired a full-time grants coordinator who focused solely on helping people navigate the federal grants process.

Grayson supported the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and has been outspoken in favor of extending unemployment benefits for Americans who have lost their jobs. Grayson argues that the government has never cut off unemployment insurance when the unemployment rate was higher than eight percent. Grayson also voted for FDA Oversight of Tobacco Products, which gives the FDA power to regulate tobacco products.

Grayson has worked to combat federal waste, fraud, and abuse. In the September 6, 2009 edition of The New York Times, columnist Gretchen Morgenson thanked Grayson for uncovering the fact that, due to the federal bailout of mortgage finance giant Fannie Mae, taxpayer money had been funding the legal defense fees for former top executives at the institution. Grayson requested information about these legal costs after a June 2009 hearing of the House Financial Services Committee. Grayson's work uncovered that, between September 6, 2008 and July 21, 2009,taxpayers spent $6.3 million defending Fannie Mae executives Franklin Raines, J. Timothy Howard, and Leanne Spencer. Taxpayers paid an additional $16.8 million to cover legal expenses of workers at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, Fannie's former regulator.

In September 2009, Grayson used a parliamentary maneuver called an “extension of remarks” to provide crucial instruction on H.R. 3221, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009, a bill that, among other things, included a provision that prohibited funding for ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). Grayson's extension of remarks directed that the legislation defund any organization that cheats the federal government, not just ACORN. The defunding measure passed the House with a final vote of 253–171. Grayson also encouraged the public to report companies covered by the bill and set up a method to report offending companies via his Congressional website Wikipedia

Alan Grayson : "There Is NO Threat To America When I Talk To My Mother!"

Grayson is grandstanding. These liars in DC all know whats going on, they are the ones that vote on the bills that authorize this BS to take place. Maybe they will start reading what they are voting for, but I doubt it. Ron Paul has been telling these corrupt creeps about these issues for as long as he's been in DC and now he isn't sounding like such a quack anymore is he? For Grayson to stand there and pretend to be so stunned that this BS is going on is an insult.

Alan Grayson ~ GOP Keeps Putting America in These Cliff Situations

Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Orlando) speaks about the GOP's pattern of creating artificial crises in order to try to get what they want. The interview aired on MSNBC with Thomas Roberts on January 11, 2013.People Who Say Don't Take My Guns Need To Rethink What It Means To Live In A Civil Society! says Congressman Grayson ! I like Alan, but he's wrong on this. He sounded like a pre-crime advocate. Shootings are terrible but that doesn't justify a regression in gun laws. Hinder the innocent by appearing to go after the guilty is all that will happen as is the norm of government intervention. Gun laws will just make them more expensive. Then criminals will be the only ones that can afford them. US is within the top ten safest countries in the world. 466 violent offenders per 100,000. UK is 2000+ per 100k.

Rep Alan Grayson: GOP Using Debt Ceiling Fight As 'Legislative Terrorism'

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) paid a visit to Al Sharpton on MSNBC on Thursday night, criticizing Republicans for their opportunistic approach to the debt ceiling and cuts to government spending. The GOP is using it as "legislative terrorism" to "extract concessions" they wouldn't otherwise be able to accomplish. Sharpton pointed to remarks Paul Ryan made in 2011, wherein he said "you can't not raise the debt ceiling." He went on to also play remarks from Sen. Lindsey Graham and House Speaker John Boehner, both of whom described the calamitous effects of not raising the debt ceiling and defaulting.
