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.
