President's Day is coming up on February 18th. Valentine's Day is February 14th. I would love to see Mike Gravel become President. Can you help shower his campaign with love, I mean money? I'll pledge and send $50 on January 31st. Is someone else willing to send as much or more?
JANUARY 1ST is the mass donation day for MIKE GRAVEL!!! Everyone please donate, lets help get Mike's message out there! Thanks, and don't forget to spread the word!
silverkid, Gravel knows that.He is saying that its a fig leaf to war, meaning its the first step in trying to go to war. Why would you name someone a terrorist group unless you want a confrontation with them. And guess who authored that resolution that hillary voted yes on, and guess who co - authored the iraq resolution which sent us to iraq? whom dodd, biden, and hillary voted for, edwards co authored with drum beat please
Thank God Mike Gravel is at least a voice in the midst and what has all but become a fascist system. Yes America after producing a million moral movie endings where the bad guys loose, still can you not see .....
I'm so angry at my country for not seeing Mike Gravel for what he truely is, a fucking hero. America is full of fucking nimwits who buy into CNN and FOX. I will never buy a general electric product again. Mike--You are a wonderful human being, and when the children cried, we'll let em know you tried.
The fact is, Mike Gravel angered powerful people when he confronted Senator Clinton over Iran during last month's debate. Up to that moment the Clinton juggernaut was rolling over everyone. Now Mike is paying the price for speaking truth to power.
Now you would have thought that CNN would have been more interested in good television, and mike sure provides that, just shows how owned the media is...dark times
They wouldn't want people to actually vote for someone they believe in! Instead they want to herd us into supporting their pre-selected, corrupt, corporate-backed choices.
Fresh on the heels of MSNBC's exclusion of Senator Mike Gravel from last week's Philadelphia debate, we now hear that CNN has cut the Senator from its November 15 debate in Las Vegas. Like MSNBC, CNN's justification comes down to one ugly factor: MONEY.
Ron Paul is a deceiver. Don't trust him for a second. He IS republican and he votes 75% in favor with his fellow republicans. Ron has proved he has weak plans against Bush & Co. and he is against impeachment. Ron made the "We The People Act". He has not rallied against the "Homegrown Terrorism Act" because he did not bother to vote on it. Ron is not for power to the people, only Mike is.
Definitely no coincidence, sir. You and Dennis K. are the only Democratic contenders with any real integrity. I only wish you would gain the support that Ron Paul has gotten on the Republican side. What is the matter with Americans? Keep giving them hell, Gravel!
His best video yet! I like the guy, but unfortunately these primaries will use electronic voting machines with no paper trail, which means they will be stolen! So once again, we will get to vote for our next dictator, very likely the ones touted by the media/industro-military complex.
Let's face it. The democrat that wins the primary will be the one that republicans believe they can beat.
And if they can't beat them, then oh well - we already know what happens then. Bush already considers half the citizens in the U.S. are terrorists for even belonging to a second party (even if they sound the same).
All Gravel supporters should convert to ron paul, he has more of a chance, i love gravel's message and passion, but if we combine the supporters we will be on top, gravel is even for ron paul!!!!!
He might have passion but he has no money to put where his mouth is, so to speak. He had about $31,000 in his campaign account last I heard. I actually admire him for his passion because he actually seems like he's the only one who wants to get anything done. It's what he wants to get done I disagree with. He may be passionate but why does that matter if he's spewing a bunch of crap?
Did I say a WORD about Chris Matthews? I HATE Chris Matthews...I don't even watch MSNBC. I've listened to Mike Gravel and I don't like him, he's crazy! And you're an idiot for assuming I didn't listen to him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Everything has to be lies and conspiracy and deception with you people...Gravel is DIRT POOR and he has terrible ratings...he's a loser, plain and simple. I can't believe ANYONE would donate money to this man. He hasn't got a snowball's chance in Hell. It's like flushing cash right down the toilet. How stupid are people going to get...
He's the only one with TRUE and UNBRIDLED passion! He speaks the truth to power and they've shut him down. You are the only one in this conversation that is 'stupid'.
Make sure to donate to Mike Gravel's campaign on Tuesday October 30th to protest his exclusion from the Democratic debate and fire up his campaign! Pass the word along to anyone who believes that truly real and honest voices are vital to an open democracy!
If you're grateful that those dear to you have live without fear of being drafted into unjust wars, thank Mike Gravel. His courage helped end the draft during Vietnam, and he will end the war in Iraq.
In 2006 Hillary pulled the same thing against her anti-war primary opponent Jonathan Tasini with NY1(New York cable station). NY1 forced a guideline of 500k, and 5% polling. NY1 is owned by Time Warner and guess who donated thousands of dollars to her campaign? Yep, you guessed it. Time Warner. Sounds very similar right? This is worse because Gravel was in the debates before.
DresOpinion, yes you are right. Tasini got the treatment from the Hillary camp. I was so furious yet helpless. Hope Hillary will be brought down to earth with the fund raising scandal per Peter Paul. The Clintons are thieves. Google up Peter Paul and Clinton for the articles.
I have a strong feeling that the Clinton campaign was behind this. It's no coincidence that the debate after taking Hillary to the woodshed Gravel is excluded.
Hey Mike. I sent NBC comments and emails. I signed your petition. I'm still angry! What else can I do? I already don't watch NBC. So mad... can't kick the dog, he's a democrat... so angry! What to do!?!
I've been watching Countdown until I heard of your decision to Sen. Gravel from the debate. No more NBC.
You must know how well your plan has backfired because now (thanks to whomever) Gravel has generated quite a few new votes.
Please continue block Senator Gravel so that he can go on to a triumphant victory. Hire a savvy PR person. Don't take any advise from the Hillary camp. You'll soon be in the dog house.
Everyone should make an effort to get their friends to look up Gravel on You-tube. This is the way all campaigning should be done. Ron Paul has gotten some visibility this way, let's do our part to get more people to tune in to this truth-teller. Its a problem when the public demands dishonesty, or so it seems. But they've been brainwashed, so let's be as patient as Mike is with them.
Hillary Clinton is their favorite candidate only because she can pay them more in ad revenue than any other candidate! Gravel is a threat to the sham of Hillary Clinton and they chose profits over integrity!
Even more than their military contracts, GE (NBC/MSNBC)is favoring Hillary Clinton and other big money candidates because they want these democrats to get more money to spend campaign cash on advertising on THEIR networks! Its a pure business decision and its disgusting, a total affront to democracy.
We the people demand that you allow former senator and fellow patriot Mike Gravel to participate in the upcoming debate that is taking place on October 30, 2007
If you do not comply, a screenshot of your already received generic and bullshit response, which will be labeled "CENSORSHIP AND UN-BECOMING A FREE SOCIETY" shall circulate around the web, revealing to the world how un-american NBC really is resulting in the disgrace of your news organization.
Comply, informing to us that Mr. Gravel will be invited, as well as given the same amount of attention as everyone else, with his name included in the polls or your legacy will go spiraling down the tube as fast as information spreads across the internet.
You do not want to risk the disruption of NBC. Break these conditions and your fucked.
I would also add that we will boycott GE, all sponsors on NBC programing and NBC programs. The Gravel Campaign is a grassroots effort that is supported by many people all over the United States, Europe and Asia.
We will also send a letter campaign to the Sponsors of NBC letting them know why we know longer purchase their products and or goods.
Yes I heard about the Hillary and Edwards thing and knew at that time that it was an attack against Gravel. I have been following you all along Mike but my vote is going to Ron Paul. I would vote for both of you with Ron Paul as president and you as vice-president, wouldn't that make the best pro-liberty ticket?
I have sent NBC a letter offer them $1 million to include Senator Gravel in the debate, and I am serious. FEC rules prohibit making this contribution directly. This letter run in NH newspapers tomorrow. Please see supportinggravel DOT blogspot DOT com for a copy of the letter. -Greg Chase
BLESS YOU, GREG CHASE! THERE IS STILL HOPE. Also, if they say no, what we need to do is, everyone needs to give 10-20 dollars today, which translates to 20-40 with the federal matching. Then, try to get more people to do the same. If it averages $15 per person, then WE ONLY NEED 18,000 CONTRIBUTIONS TO MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS!!!!! IF WE CAN'T DO THIS, THEN FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE WHAT ARE WE ALL DOING?
EVERYONE plays a role in the democratic process, you're not exempt from that responsibility, do what you can if you really care about the future of this country. I'm sure you can have a bigger impact than you are having cowering behind your excuses.
Thank you Mike Gravel, thank you for continuing to stand up to those bullies we call our government and preaching the truth. You are a modern Ghandi and it causes me a sickening amount of pain to see you shut out, not only by the liars and the cheaters, but by our own ignorant population who cares more about Brittney Spears than the future of our country. We have become a disgrace to the once proud and defiant people known as Americans. Shame on us!
and if you can help it, on Oct. 30th. That will send a message. If he reaches the big numbers maybe the media will cover it. And what a nice staple to add its on the day he was not allowed to voice his opinion.
I'm sorry to see honest, outspoken cadidates getting shut out just because they don't meet some made up requirements. It's time Americans stand up and demand fairness. It's time for the people to wrest control of this country back from big corporations and big government.
Just wrote NBC and the DNC, in addition to signing the petition. I've also asked those at the gravel2008 channel to put the petition info on every video up to 10/30. Folks, if you want the info, PM me.
Sen. Gravel's words are going to be considered diplomatically prophetic in a short amount of time. The "mainstream" candidates stand by wringing their hands while the NeoCon war machine charges forward.....it's really sick.
I wasnt even voting for him , but this is getting crazy. I dont agree with his views,but he should still be up there. At least until the people vote himout.
I sent a message to NBC about this. I pretty much said that it's a shame that the media is now in charge of our political system and the only candidates that get the air time are the ones with corporate lobbyists and special interests (and Rupert Murdock) in their pockets.
this is not Democracy! fuck man there really need to help Mike here! They after him because he right! and make them less important. Bunch of fucking cunts all i can say! Democracy is not real in the US.
Why are the powerful trying to silence a 77 year-old man. If he's not a candidate he'll die on the vine of neglect, right? But they're coming after him.
What are the Clinton donors afraid of? of no war in Iran?
What is NBC afraid of? of someone talking out of their control?
What is GE afraid of? of a line being drawn from the deaths of children in Iraq and Iran to the deaths of Americans as a result?
Gagging Mike bring's more attention to the gaggers than to the guy who's been gagged.
Son of a........! I just don't get it! Why dont they just stop bothering with these debates. Anymore they are nothing more than a facade. I think Mr. Gravel himself said "Just follow the money". These primary's are already decided. It's like watching wrestling. All I ask is what can I do to help, seriously.
You guys ought to indicate what we YouTubers can do to protest this decision. For instance, give the email address at MSNBC, where the letters of protest should be addressed to.
Don't be too bummed out Mike, nobody watches those debates anyway. We're so proud of you for standing up and I can't wait to see more of you in the weeks ahead.
Our media does not exist to serve the interest of America or it's people. It exists to generate revenue.
It really saddens me to see that a person running for president can simply be black listed and hidden from the American people if the media wants to do that. It just isn't right.
This is simply despicable !!! It cannot get any worse than this. Finally, the rogues are being exposed by Mike and it's getting too HOT for some ! I am going to do all I can on this.
ok anybody we will be optimistic by standing up against authority as he did, we out number them now are you in or out! come on fucking shit! gain some common sense
How exactly are they justifying excluding Gravel? Looks like we're gonna have another bad 4 years-it's hard to be optimistic when you see things like this.
This is corruption at its finest. How can people still think we live in a true democratic society? I am OUTRAGED, to say the least. PLEASE, donate to Senator Gravel and email NBC. Get the word out!
Well I know certainly Mike Gravel isn't surprised. The strategist that he is he'll move forward with his campaign. That's why he is the only choice for president.
Meanwhile we have to send a message to GE that the people are done with the nonesense. I'm for protesting and sending funds to Mike on Oct. 30th. Lets make it happen.
cos im sending bulletins that expose the cfr and presidential candidates to my friends and videos of mike, ron, and dennis facing media bias and why there getting so popular and a vid of eisenhower the military industrial complex
and the email to MS NBC!
oh and a vid of testify of rage against the machine
Everyone, as a form of protest for this complete unacceptable behavior, let's all call and e-mail as much as we possibly can....also, on October 30th, let's donate to Mike Gravel's campaign...a protest outside of Drexel and possibly a second event at Drexel(during the debate) is much, much needed as well....
We need a united protest. Everyone should call not one, not two, but three or more times a day. Also, everyone should get together and protest at the local NBC stations nearby and at Drexel U. where the event will be held.
I don't know what the Senator will do on that day, but IMO he should just stand outside of Drexel and start speaking. A good ol' fashion stump rally.
What can be done to DEMAND that Gravel is included in the October 30th debate? We need to rally not just Gravel supporters, but ANYONE that believes in the integrity of democratic debate.
I think the Ron Paul nation would back us up on this one. Fortunately, Congressman Paul has far too much support and money for the Republicans to "exclude" or "forget" him. But they know what's at stake just as much as us. We have a week... HEAR THE RUMBLE OF THE PEOPLE!!!
Hillary, Edwards, Obama and who knows what others are all in one giant bed together, and hey...here comes the DNC and MSNBC and MSM to join in for a nice cozy get together under the covers. "Just leave your bundles of money on the night stand before you leave", says Hillary while the others chime in with "make sure it's enough", "remember my price went up", "anytime". This is disgusting, people!
US media is controlled by the Corporations , the same people that controls the corrupted president and goverment.

I have sent NBC a letter offer them $1 million to include Senator Gravel in the debate, and I am serious. FEC rules prohibit making this contribution directly. This letter run in NH newspapers tomorrow. Please see supportinggravel DOT blogspot DOT com for a copy of the letter. -Greg Chase

BLESS YOU, GREG CHASE! THERE IS STILL HOPE. Also, if they say no, what we need to do is, everyone needs to give 10-20 dollars today, which translates to 20-40 with the federal matching. Then, try to get more people to do the same. If it averages $15 per person, then WE ONLY NEED 18,000 CONTRIBUTIONS TO MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS!!!!! IF WE CAN'T DO THIS, THEN FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE WHAT ARE WE ALL DOING?

cyberdogg, I would write back to them and say..
EVERYONE plays a role in the democratic process, you're not exempt from that responsibility, do what you can if you really care about the future of this country. I'm sure you can have a bigger impact than you are having cowering behind your excuses.

Thank you Mike Gravel, thank you for continuing to stand up to those bullies we call our government and preaching the truth. You are a modern Ghandi and it causes me a sickening amount of pain to see you shut out, not only by the liars and the cheaters, but by our own ignorant population who cares more about Brittney Spears than the future of our country. We have become a disgrace to the once proud and defiant people known as Americans. Shame on us!

and if you can help it, on Oct. 30th. That will send a message. If he reaches the big numbers maybe the media will cover it. And what a nice staple to add its on the day he was not allowed to voice his opinion.

I'm sorry to see honest, outspoken cadidates getting shut out just because they don't meet some made up requirements. It's time Americans stand up and demand fairness. It's time for the people to wrest control of this country back from big corporations and big government.

Chuck Todd's Response to my letter re: Gravel Censorship on NBC:

Thanks for your email. As you may already know, no network has given
Sen. Gravel more opportunity to get his message across than NBC and
its affiliates via both interviews and debates. But with the election
season beginning in just 72 days and more candidates...
Same Email as me, cyberdogg2, OFCOURSE.

Just wrote NBC and the DNC, in addition to signing the petition. I've also asked those at the gravel2008 channel to put the petition info on every video up to 10/30. Folks, if you want the info, PM me.

Sen. Gravel's words are going to be considered diplomatically prophetic in a short amount of time. The "mainstream" candidates stand by wringing their hands while the NeoCon war machine charges forward.....it's really sick.

I wasnt even voting for him , but this is getting crazy. I dont agree with his views,but he should still be up there. At least until the people vote himout.

I sent a message to NBC about this. I pretty much said that it's a shame that the media is now in charge of our political system and the only candidates that get the air time are the ones with corporate lobbyists and special interests (and Rupert Murdock) in their pockets.

I have no idea what this country is anymore, because it's certainly not America.
I think Mike ought to show up anyway, and demand a podium.

Why are the powerful trying to silence a 77 year-old man. If he's not a candidate he'll die on the vine of neglect, right? But they're coming after him.
What are the Clinton donors afraid of? of no war in Iran?
What is NBC afraid of? of someone talking out of their control?
What is GE afraid of? of a line being drawn from the deaths of children in Iraq and Iran to the deaths of Americans as a result?
Gagging Mike bring's more attention to the gaggers than to the guy who's been gagged.

Son of a........! I just don't get it! Why dont they just stop bothering with these debates. Anymore they are nothing more than a facade. I think Mr. Gravel himself said "Just follow the money". These primary's are already decided. It's like watching wrestling. All I ask is what can I do to help, seriously.

Dear fellow Americans,
Move out to another country. Democracy is dead and each presidential election is nothing more than the White House at auction.

You guys ought to indicate what we YouTubers can do to protest this decision. For instance, give the email address at MSNBC, where the letters of protest should be addressed to.

Our media does not exist to serve the interest of America or it's people. It exists to generate revenue.
It really saddens me to see that a person running for president can simply be black listed and hidden from the American people if the media wants to do that. It just isn't right.

Of course they don't Mike around, he tells the truth... sort of like Nader did. And you see what they did to him.
Hillary's support is hyped. They keep saying she leads the polls but I don't know any progressive who supports her. She's a fraud.

How exactly are they justifying excluding Gravel? Looks like we're gonna have another bad 4 years-it's hard to be optimistic when you see things like this.

This is corruption at its finest. How can people still think we live in a true democratic society? I am OUTRAGED, to say the least. PLEASE, donate to Senator Gravel and email NBC. Get the word out!
ParaSwarm 4 years ago 4
how can they do that?
that's a different level of bias
Mike, Go there and get a camera guy and a little podium and have Mike Gravel solo debate right outside
whatever they say about that
it might gain even more attention
TheStoicAgnostic 4 years ago 6
Well I know certainly Mike Gravel isn't surprised. The strategist that he is he'll move forward with his campaign. That's why he is the only choice for president.
Meanwhile we have to send a message to GE that the people are done with the nonesense. I'm for protesting and sending funds to Mike on Oct. 30th. Lets make it happen.

Everyone, as a form of protest for this complete unacceptable behavior, let's all call and e-mail as much as we possibly can....also, on October 30th, let's donate to Mike Gravel's campaign...a protest outside of Drexel and possibly a second event at Drexel(during the debate) is much, much needed as well....
RST1515 4 years ago 7
I'm in.
BigBrightBlueBox 4 years ago 2
And as another form of protest, every Sen. Gravel supporter should donate $100 (or their maximum means) to the campaign on October 30.
clevername71 4 years ago 6
We need a united protest. Everyone should call not one, not two, but three or more times a day. Also, everyone should get together and protest at the local NBC stations nearby and at Drexel U. where the event will be held.
I don't know what the Senator will do on that day, but IMO he should just stand outside of Drexel and start speaking. A good ol' fashion stump rally.

What can be done to DEMAND that Gravel is included in the October 30th debate? We need to rally not just Gravel supporters, but ANYONE that believes in the integrity of democratic debate.
I think the Ron Paul nation would back us up on this one. Fortunately, Congressman Paul has far too much support and money for the Republicans to "exclude" or "forget" him. But they know what's at stake just as much as us. We have a week... HEAR THE RUMBLE OF THE PEOPLE!!!
PeaceCzar 4 years ago 7
That's exactly it.
This isn't about any one candidate. This is about American Democracy.
And MSNBC and the DNC need to hear that the American People are well-aware that that is exactly what they are fooling with.
The verdict is simple: It's UNACCEPTABLE.
HatTricksInc 4 years ago
Hillary, Edwards, Obama and who knows what others are all in one giant bed together, and hey...here comes the DNC and MSNBC and MSM to join in for a nice cozy get together under the covers. "Just leave your bundles of money on the night stand before you leave", says Hillary while the others chime in with "make sure it's enough", "remember my price went up", "anytime". This is disgusting, people!
