Great Video: Alan Grayson on Rachel Maddow on #occupywallstreet
“They’re doing the one last human thing left; they’re going somewhere.”

The next day, I get a death threat.
After Fox News spewed its usual clownish hatred about me yesterday, my office received a call. The caller told our receptionist - a young intern - that “10 people are going to kill the Congressman within 24 hours.” We gave the information to the Capitol Police; they are investigating.
