Biden Supporters Richard Grayson and Daniel Grayson are quoted in Dagens Nyheter article, "Äldre i Sun City välkomnar Biden till pensionärsparadiset"

Dagens Nyheter, Sweden's largest morning newspaper, has an article by Bjorn af Kleen published today, Wednesday, February 14, 2024, "Äldre i Sun City välkomnar Biden till pensionärsparadiset,that quotes Richard Grayson as saying he would support Joe Biden's reelection even if the President were on a ventilator and his 97-year-old father as saying that he would vote for a dog against Donald Trump.

Demokraten Richard Grayson i Apache Junction är faktiskt från Brooklyn, New York. Males bor tillfälligt i Arizona för att ta hand om sin 97-årige far.

Den här söndagsmorgonen är pappa Daniel rasande på New York Instances, som vidarebefordrade resultaten från ännu en undersökning som bekräftar att cirka 7 av 10 amerikaner oroar sig för Bidens ålder. Presidenten för gammal?! Ganska behagligt diskret! protestera far och son Grayson. Den första mandatperiodens triumfer – ny infrastruktur, ett historiskt klimatpaket, en börs som går som ett tåg – talar för sig själva. Until skillnad från Trump behöver Biden inte skramla med tomma tunnor. – Jag skulle rösta på en hund som kandiderar mot Trump, säger 97-årige Daniel Grayson.

I would vote for Joe Biden even if he was on a ventilator, says 73-year-old university librarian Richard Grayson. He lives in Apache Junction, east of Phoenix, in a neighborhood so heavily Republican that two of the neighbors have flown flags at half-staff every day since Joe Biden took office on January 20, 2021. Democratic voters are in the minority in Apache Junction, but those who hold out are almost as devoted to their party as their Republican neighbors are to theirs. "Vote Blue No Matter Who" - vote blue no matter who - signs an ally until the Grayson family. Apache Junction Democrat Richard Grayson is actually from Brooklyn, New York, but lives temporarily in Arizona to take care of his 97-year-old father. This Sunday morning, Father Daniel is furious at New York Instances, which relayed the results of yet another poll confirming that about 7 in 10 Americans worry about Biden's age. The president too old?! Quite pleasantly discreet! protest father and son Grayson. The triumphs of the first term – new infrastructure, a historic climate package, a stock market that runs like a train – speak for themselves. Unlike Trump, Biden does not need to rattle off empty barrels. - I would vote for a dog running against Trump, says 97-year-old Daniel Grayson.

Friday Morning in Apache Junction: 2012 Ballot for Arizona's Fourth Congressional District includes Americans Elect Party Candidate Richard Grayson

Our early ballot arrived in the mail today.

That's My Congress: "Absurdist Candidate Rises in Absurd Climate: Richard Grayson for Congress in Arizona"

That's My Congress, a politically independent journal of the campaigns and legislation of the United States Congress, covers our candidacy for Congress in Arizona's Fourth Congressional District:

Running against conservative Republican incumbent Paul Gosar in Arizona’s 4th Congressional District, Americans Elect party candidate Richard Grayson reacts to the absurdity of modern politics with absurdist rhetoric:

Q: What effects have the Citizens United ruling had on this year’s election process so far? Do you see them as positive or negative, and why?

Grayson: It’s hard to say; I need to watch more campaign ads. I favor a Constitutional amendment to reverse the ruling so we don’t have unlimited anonymous donors. I never spent a dime on my campaigns. They should be publicly financed. I want votes only from the one percent – not the richest, the elite. I also demand that if people want to vote for me, they must read five books. See the list on my website at americans-elect-grayson.blogspot.com.

The [iREADray] Election Guide: Arizona 2012 Endorses Richard Grayson, Americans Elect Party Candidate for Congress in Arizona's Fourth Congressional District

Today the [iREADray] Election Guide: Arizona 2012 endorsed our candidacy for Congress in Arizona's Fourth Congressional District. Here's the text:

Congressional District 4 DEM: Johnnie Robinson REP: Paul Gosar LIB: Joe Pamelia AME: Richard Grayson <<<<<<<<
Truth be told we are not that excited about Robinson, he doesn't have enough experience, and it's sad when he is the best the Democratic can offer. Gosar is leading in this GOP-strong district, but we find it just as sad when this extremist is the best the GOP has to offer too. That's why we are throwing our support behind Grayson. Grayson has proven himself in the gay community by fighting for what's right, not what's popular, and though he may never win, we can each do what we can. Plus, out of all of these candidates, the American-Elect nominee, Grayson, knows how to tell the best joke. Lord knows we need to laugh more in Congress.

We are very grateful for the support.
