  • I think we really need to consider legalizing online casino and poker like the UK did, and did it well. I promise it will not corrupt the moral fiber of the US people. In fact I'll bet on it:)

  • lets just reduce the argument to your level:

  • Attention Save Your Home Come To our site we will get you in contact with a loan modification expert for free visit homesaver(DOT)tk

  • im glad he is for ending the fed and abolishing the federal reserve.

  • Ron Paul is my hero but Gravel is a very intelligent, honest, and outspoken person. Hes a great statesman

  • Unfortunately, Kyeot is right. Most Americans, right now, are acting like moral cowards. They are not focused on doing the right thing. They are doing what is expedient or convenient or what lines their pockets. If Mike Gravel had received more media attention, he would have bolstered people's moral courage. That's another reason he was censored and cut out of the debates and "disappareared" from the American public's consideration.

  • The people should be in charge, and not rich bastards!!! I have faith that the people will make this country a better place:-)

    VOTE GRAVEL IN 'O8

  • NONE of the so-called "frontrunners" can even compare to Mike Gravel...he is NOT ONLY HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, but is ALSO NON-CORRUPT & COURAGEOUS, AND has a LONG, WELL-DOCUMENTED history PROVING it!!!

  • Heu quotidie pejus! haec colonia retroversus crescit tanquam coda vituli.

    Mike Gravel for President

  • Gravel in '08

  • The Libertarians had their chance with Ron Paul, but they let their personal thirst for Power get in the way. We are a Two party system and Ron Paul could have changed that if elected. It's over folks, we were given one last chance and blew it. Our Freedoms are as good as gone,there is a reason people who have real wealth don't live in the US. I almost can't wait for the NWO to take over at least we won't be ruled by Christians,the one's who made all the laws that got us where we are to day.

  • The only good candidate for president in this campaign.

  • Indeed. If Ron Paul won't run as Independent, then it's Mike! I would like to see them both run on the same ticket! These Great Men are the last hope for America as we know it.

  • OK, I'm not a US citizen but I'm still curious about your system. If someone runs as an independent candidate, he or she goes straight to the final election, assuming the criteria that are in place for the candidate to run in the first place are met?

  • In theory yes. In actual practice, an Independent can not become President due to the Electoral College set up only for the 2 Party System. It would be like a protest vote only, as neither the Dems or Rep have anybody worth voting for. This is how I see it anywho.

  • I understand. No independent/underdog can win unless suffrage is direct.

  • There is two US Constitutions and Two USA's...which one is Mike Running for? Do You Know? Does He? I used to vote. Then one day i realized that its all just a big sham and a waste of time. On top of it you are proclaiming your voluntary enslavement to the establishment corporation. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a CORPORATION. The Republic Fell During the Civil War and Now we are just chattel being sold off like beef to pay for the farmers debts on the slave plantation.

  • MIKE GRAVEL 4 PRESIDENT!!!

    MASS DONATION DAY for MIKE GRAVEL is 5/13 (MIKE'S B-DAY!!)

    SPREAD THE WORD!!!

  • Mike is the Man!

  • Laws are the rules of the game, people. Don't you want to make some of the rules instead of having the rulers rule you?

  • Mike Gravel has the intelligence, knowledge, experience, wisdom, creativity and proven leadership ability to lead us where WE WANT TO GO - the National Initiative. Add to that his humanity and love of people. Support him, please....please...we need REAL change not chump change..

  • Do you know;

    The Global Poverty Act is a bill sponsored by presidential candidate Barack Obama. The legislation would mandate the United States to spend 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, equaling about $845 billion in additional aid over the next 13 years. And dont forget, The GPA also will require us to sign the UN's millenium declaration; which means America will have to ban small arms! Meaning private gun ownership

  • Gravel and Obama girl, who would have thought? watch?v=TI6PA4v6dZg

Dont forget skyhoop, The GPA also will require us to sign the UN's millenium declaration; which means americ will have to ban small arms! Meaning private gun ownership.

  • wow, that's ridiculous.

    i don't mean any offense to anybody who is for it or anything, but it just seems ridiculous to me. Firstly, it won't help much of anything, and will probably do more harm than good.

    Is this what politicians waste their time on?

  • I need your help to field a credible campaign in Denver and to make a Libertarian victory in the fall a reality. Your personal and financial support is crucial at this time. Please contribute. -Mike Gravel

  • Schindleria Praematurus

  • Let our political LION, Mr. Gravel, roar. Donate or I'll find you...I know Shaolin kung fu...just kidding. This month is especially important with the Libertarian Convention taking place at the end of May. It's really our last, best hope for Mr. Gravel to be on the ballot in all 50 states.

  • I live in Denmark and here almost 1 percent of GNP is given as foreign aid.

    It has not ruined the nation, but it has sure taken away money from the citizens and given it to something that we know simply doesn't work.

    Foreign aid is simply counter-productive and keep Africa in poverty. Instead we should open our markets to the world and let them create their own wealth.

    Disaster-relief is a different thing btw, there we have a case where outside help really helps (if done right).

  • totally agree with you donhoody! =)

  • WAKE Up America before it is Too Late! Obama will Sell You Out, Give all YOUR money away!

  • Unfortunately, this is absolutely true. It's not the right way to do it...

  • CPTN - Exec says Demand for Mike Gravels Ideas will increase or decrease when Mike Gravel talks on youtube.

  • sounds great but not very libertarian

  • the ni4d isn't libertarian?

    "freedom is participation in power" - cicero

  • haha cicero the great libertarian how could I forget about him?

  • just because he isn't libertarian doesn't mean he didn't say some good things

  • and what would you say about the glorious founding fathers who strongly opposed direct democracy like the NI4D because they saw a "danger in majorities forcing their will on minorities"?

  • a lot of the founders wanted direct democracy. they advocated the people voting to ratify the constitution.

    and isn't representative government the minority forcing their will on the majority? wouldn't a reversal of that be a great amount of progress?

  • at a point where you start runing out of money like any system is the key or piller and ever thing you built will fall and the people will lose ther jobs get sick and Die! ever time you do some thing wrong in Real life people die You! kill them if you pass a law say we dont cover this plane you get sick and you dont have the money for it them your on your own run to anther country fast or your Dead now the usa keeps going into wars that thay dont need too becouse no one stops them not even UN!

  • you know even one thinks thay can run the country, oh is so easy to do thay are always right! or thay think ther right even thing sound good when when start to chance thing

    things go very wrong fast

    you ever play that video game sam city

    in the begining its easy but then you start to buld up your city now is it so easy

    all the people in the city want thing to be done but go no money to do it!

    now i could never run the counrty with out a banking system behind me becouse ever thing slows down

  • A new video will be posted tomorrow on the Gravel2008 channel at 6:30 PM EST, so start preparing for the next comment filibuster!

  • woo hoo

  • message me if you want to do a chapter of Citizen Power for the filibuster tomorrow

  • I say, Nay, Filibuster gravel's video's 24/7. Try to match Gravel's sturdy filibustering in congress before us. Now that's a goal.

  • "In writing my John Pilger piece which exposed the atrocities promulgated by Richard Nixon, I want all of you to watch this Gravel anti-war commercial. You will not see a more impassioned stance against this war and let me remind you it was Gravel himself who helped stop the blood-letting in Viet Nam through his filibuster of the draft. He was the one that disclosed and had published the Pentagon Papers. (cont)

  • Yet, this is the candidate that CNN and NBC did not allow you to hear from. One other Clinton supporter stated to me in a private email, "I don't care what he did thirty years ago" and I find that hubristic. Gravel alone stood up to a mad-man in Nixon while many of these other candidates folded like lawn-chairs and capitulated. They would not know bravery if it stared them in the face." Mary MacElveen

  • Right on Mike!

  • organizational meeting for filibuster at 10 pm EST in the chatroom tonight

  • I cannot tire of Mr. Gravel saying that we need to wipe out the Federal Income Tax, wipe out the Federal Reserve, wipe out the Military Industrial Complex...and that the American people need to do that because they are the only ones who CAN do that! Does the new video have Mr. Gravel saying these things?

  • One of the reasons that I want Mr. Mike Gravel to be President is because he is such a good role model. He is a courageous and tenacious man! I want American boys to see a real man who cares about human beings in power.

  • let's get ready for the new video.  i think it's safe to say that we can all take a rest from this filibuster until the new video comes out.

  • Keep OUR LION, Mr. Mike Gravel, ROARING FOR US!!! Please donate, send money, show your love.

  • Those who make the laws make the rules. Choose to become lawmakers. Cicero, as Mike Gravel has recounted, said that "Freedom is participation in power." Who's the libertarian now????

  • 50,000 views. that's what a quality filibuster gets you. good job, guys.

  • New video will be posted tomorrow on the Gravel2008 channel at 6:30 PM EST, so start preparing for the next comment filibuster!

  • what about the old (current) one?

  • Feel free to slow down the Filibuster, I'd call 50K views a success.

    I'd recommend resting and preparing for the new video.

  • OK. I hear you. Did you see my question the about the Pentagon Papers? as far as source goes?

  • Please SUPPORT OUR LION, Mr. Mike Gravel and his National Initiative.

  • "As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind."-- Cicero

    Senator Gravel, your enthusiasm, when speaking of the National Initiative and other issues, is that of a youth, and is certainly admirable. Please keep up the good work.

  • Yes!

    That's 2 days!

  • Ain't it sweet?!

  • Yes it is! I have to go but I wonder how Senator Gravel must have felt emotionally,physically, spiritually...when he did the filibuster.

    He was one person, one Senator...but what a roar!

  • Listen carefully and you will still hear it.

  • New video will be posted tomorrow on Gravel2008 at 6:30 PM EST, start preparing new filibuster material.

  • strictly ad hoc...

  • Ask not for whom the LION (Mike Gravel) roars...he ROARS FOR US!!!

  • New video will be posted tomorrow on the Gravel2008 channel at 6:30 PM EST, so start preparing for the next comment filibuster!

  • New video tomorrow at 6:30 PM EST.

    I'm getting the filibuster material ready from Citizen Power. I'll likely divide some chapters among a few people.

  • You've heard Mr. Gravel. It's up to Americans to make the changes needed. If a candidate asks you to vote for him or her and doesn't tell you that they can't make the changes they are talking about, they are just feeding you empty promises....Please, don't vote for one of the empty shells...

  • Sojourner Truth, an incredible human being, who triumphed over the circumstances of her life.

  • It was during this time that she began to find refuge in religion -- beginning the habit of praying aloud when scared or hurt. When her father once came to visit, she pleaded with him to help her. Soon after, Martinus Schryver purchased her for $105. He owned a tavern and, although the atmosphere was crude and morally questionable, it was a safer haven for Isabella.

  • She was first sold around age 9 when her second master (Charles Hardenbergh) died in 1808. She was sold to John Neely, along with a herd of sheep, for $100. Neely's wife and family only spoke English and beat Isabella fiercely for the frequent miscommunications. She later said that Neely once whipped her with "a bundle of rods, prepared in the embers, and bound together with cords."

  • Sojourner Truth was born in 1797 on the Colonel Johannes Hardenbergh estate in Swartekill, in Ulster County, a Dutch settlement in upstate New York. She was one of 13 children born to Elizabeth and James Baumfree, also slaves on the Hardenbergh plantation. She spoke only Dutch until she was sold from her family around the age of nine. Because of the cruel treatment she suffered at the hands of a later master, she learned to speak English quickly, but had a Dutch accent for the rest of her life.

  • "Truth is powerful and it prevails." Sojourner Truth

  • "Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff." Sojourner Truth

  • "The first duty of a man is the seeking after and the investigation of truth." Cicero

  • "Be sure that it is not you that is mortal, but only your body. For that man whom your outward form reveals is not yourself; the spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which can be pointed out by your finger." Cicero

  • "Men decide far more problems by hate, love, lust, rage, sorrow, joy, hope, fear, illusion, or some other inward emotion, than by reality, authority, any legal standard, judicial precedent, or statute." Cicero THIS IS WHY THE PARTICIPATION AND VOTES OF WOMEN IS CRUCIAL TO OUR BEST FUTURE. THEY BEST KNOW THE PRICE AND THE VALUE OF CHILDREN.

  • Let us have communication, discussion and negotiation rather than nuke rattling and war upon war...

  • "Let arms give place to the robe, and the laurel of the warriors yield to the tongue of the orator." Cicero

  • Is it any wonder that Mr. Gravel wants to bring lawmaking back to our war-addicted society/culture through the National Initiative?

  • "Laws are silent in times of war." Cicero

  • "Freedom is a possession of inestimable value." Cicero, one of Mr. Gravel's heroes.

  • Do American people want to be free? "Freedom is participation in power." Cicero

  • Mr. Gravel is telling us that we are responsible for our freedom and our future. He is pointing the way with the National Initiative.

  • Just registered as a Libertarian and I will be attending the Convention.

  • wow. exactly 50,000 views.

  • more or less, probably more...

  • Mr. Gravel is our LION of politics. He ROARS! Thank goodness!!! Why do you think people put lions out in front of their houses? TO PROTECT THEM from harm/evil. SUPPORT THE LION!!!

  • Oops! I meant to say "statues of lions"...  :)

  • Mr. Gravel is our LION of politics. He ROARS!

  • Voting for 1 of 3 main media horse candidates? Why? Diebold will assign election to McCain in either a Clinton or Obama contest. Allegiance of American people behind a third party candidate will prevent this from happening. Who is the only candidate who has told and is telling the American people the truth about government? Mike Gravel. Who has authored and keeps telling the American people about the way to secure their freedom and their future via the the National Initiative? Mike Gravel

  • Some people are voting for one of the media's horse contestants for President. I'm voting for Mike Gravel, human extraordinaire!

  • what are you posting, gravelin08?

  • Where are those people who say "let's...." and then disappear? If you make the commitment, follow through. I made the commitment to 1,000 then 2,000 and now I am leaving it up to the rest of you.

  • Doesn't it bother you that the President of the United States, Bush, is contemptuous of you? Did you see the video clip where he holds up his third finger and then laughs with a smirk? That's what they've been doing to us!!! Or Cheney when he's shown saying "So" when he's told that most Americans are against the occupation/war on Iraq? We have people in government who don't give a damn what Americans think so whose government is it? National Initiative, National Initiative, National Ini....

  • The people who are in power are wrong. We are right. We have to discipline them instead of letting them discipline us because we are right. They will continue to take away our rights if WE LET THEM. They cannot do that if we don't let them.

  • Americans are acting like little children being bullied by their own government. We ARE adults.

  • Fortunately, for us, counting votes is pretty simple: pen, paper, human beings counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Will you not volunteer to count votes for an hour or two at your polling place or in the local county office where mail ballots are received?

  • Do you know how many black folks in America thought they would never get the vote, that they would never get their real freedom? Do you know how long it took to convince people they could make change and THEN, finally, they did! Why do you think that DIEBOLD miscounting machines had to become part of the voting process? Because the people CAN make their will be known.

  • Choose the Grandfather of your country wisely. It is no coincidence that during this time of great transition, one has returned to guide. Which river? The murderous present course of destruction (McCain); a trip back to the past to the dead Constitution (Paul); an adventure into the future with respect for human life and our planet the paramount concern (Mike Gravel). You CAN decide if you make the effort.

  • Mr. Gravel is giving Americans a plan to help them gain control over their reality instead of continuing to try to live through additional nightmares given to them by corrupt organizations (Enron, etc.) and institutions (media, government, military) that have betrayed us as people. We have been betrayed. Move out of denial. Accept the truth. Go forward.

  • When the people make (or repeal) laws, they take charge of their own future. That is the National Initiative.

  • The National Initiative is the ship that we will need to steer our course from 2009 onward. Let's say we do have an economic disaster. Is the federal government going to help? That has been infiltrated by corporations determined to kill its effectiveness (ie take a look at Katrina). Are the states going to help? To some degree but they won't have enough resources. Same with local government. Now where you gonna go? To the people...but the people can't make laws.

  • Mr. Gravel also has a degree in economics from Columbia University. He has continued to study economics throughout his adult life. He was on the Finance Committee in the Senate. He does know what he is talking about...

  • We don't need Obama's phony promise of change agenda. We need TRUTH commissions right here in the good ole' USA. ae911truth is one place to start. Petition Congress for a new investigation of 9/11, an investigation with subpoena power. The first (and only) investigation which had to be forced on Bush Administration by 9/11 families had no subpoena power.

  • I prefer the National Initiative to economic collapse, increased hunger and poverty and human suffering and despair. We have been betrayed on all counts (media, corporations, government, military). How can people be so stupid as to actually vote for any of the candidates endorsed from the two parties that have caused this mess? Doing so is just basically indicating delusion.

  • Any form of abusive power which seeks to keep humans in a lower level state of consciousness or existence is an impediment to our higher consciousness (to our human evolution). How can people evolve individually or as groups if they are doomed to 12 hour farm or factory days? It exhausts them. More privileged workers fill their "spare" hours with television hypnosis.

  • gravelin08 - exactly. so much of democracy depends on everyone carrying out their duty. since it is clear that that is rarely being done now, we must find a way to improve upon democracy. the solution is the ni4d. anything else is just temporary

  • Well, we could have total societal breakdown which is where we are headed. Now that corporations have overtaken government, there is no FDR style government to rescue us by pumping money into the economy to stimulate it and provide jobs. The current, corrupt government is pumping money into the economy simply to keep it afloat long enough for them to extract the remaining wealth and get out of power and get over to Dubai with Halliburton.

  • PhillyforGravel: are you still there?

  • let's get it up to 50,000 views

  • Simplistic and unrealistic tosh.

  • Mr. Gravel has four honorary law and public affairs degree. I doubt very seriously he is going to promoting fluff...

  • This coming from an Obamatard.

  • "Our three branches of government have become like an unstable chair, a three-legged chair. The founders could not have envisioned how much money and special interests would corrupt the political process. Giving us Americans legislative power will put forth the fourth leg of our stool and make it stable." -Mike Gravel

  • Mike Gravel is right. So much of our system of government depended on Congress doing its duty: ie not delegating its powers to the Executive Branch: it has done so with its war powers and with its legislative powers (or what's an Executive Order?). Also, they have failed to impeach, another duty. So Congress has become corrupt and the people must now represent their own interests and provide the corrections needed.

  • Check the Libertarian line up Gravel is there at lp(dot)org

  • I know, but he still isn't a libertarian. Just cause you sign  up to be a candidate of the libertarian party doesn't mean you're a libertarian.

  • Let me know what I can do to help! What do you suggest as a topic, unless you want to type in "Citizen Power"?

  • yeah, it was posted a vid response not long ago

  • ok, I'll do that

    I'm planning on coordinating an effort on the next video. The working title I have is

    Citizen Power Hour

    Ultimately, the vision is to have the complete book in the comments within an hour.

  • Is it a video response to ChannelMikeG's video?

  • If you want me to help with the typing in of "Citizen Power", please message me and I will send you my email account...

  • been working on typing up Citizen Power

  • Anyone still there?

  • just came back from watching iron man and the last fucking 30 seconds' audio got cut off.

    everyone got a refund.

  • just finished my 50-20 video. it's a little crappy, but that's fine. i'm no video expert. i just used clips of gravel that i had on itunes

  • Nice call, that! I believe that some people just tape off the T.V., or their computer as well. I don't have a computer cam or video cam. I know, I'm living in the dark ages, right!

  • wait! i have the mike gravel podcast, so i can just use a video off of itunes!

  • I agree with you and it doesn't matter whether you are gay or straight or whatever. We all deserve to be able to protect our loved ones in life and after death. It's about respecting other people's right to be who they are...What if I had a religion that abhorred greedy people and then I tried to persecute them and discriminate against them (if there was enough power to do that), it would be stupid and a waste of time. People can't be repressed ultimately. They can for a while but not forever.

  • Paul likes necessary and/or declared wars according to the Constitution. He has not talked about downsizing the military per se but only removing troops from Iraq, bases in other countries, etc.

  • Hey, Philly how you doing?

  • im trying to get a video of gravel speaking off of youtube for my 50-20 video. this is kind of frustrating

  • I believe someone posted how to take a vid off of youtube (sgrimes, perhaps) on the homepage? Perhaps it was you that asked, I don't recall, but maybe Skyler or 'Bama could help you out. I am definitely a novice at videos and could give you no help whatsoever!

  • Try ChannelMikeG

  • I truly believe that RP is anti-war. He has a few other things that bother me, but I believe that he is basically decent. He definitely is no Mike Gravel, though!

  • agreed

  • He's not really anti-war though. He's more like Obama who is not against all wars. Paul thinks that China and Russia are "deadly" enemies (I think because they have military capacity and sorry to say are not "Christian" though the latter is definitely my speculation.) Anyway, Paul rode the military after he was drafted and served because he was being paid well.

  • and it says the release date of "my america" is may 31

  • the book with the "my america" cover is listed as "mike gravel's political education" on another website. i think everything with a "my america" cover is just "my america."

  • The text comments for the video just jumped to 1,981. Very close to 2000 now.

  • this is weird. on amazon, gravel has a book called "a political odyssey" with a cover that says "my america." he also has a book called "the kingmakers." but there's no fourth book on amazon.

  • Perhaps Gravel has not yet completed the manuscript yet and there's no tentative release date for the book by a publisher yet. I would expect the foruth one to come out after the Kingmakers in Nov/Dec???

  • Ron Paul has all these poor suckers thinking that they are part of a "revolution" when he's only talking to them about taking them backward to the past!!! It's disgusting and typically Orwellian how the right uses this kind of language to make it seem they are doing something they are not or not doing something that they are. War is peace.

  • Speaking of books...uhh...hmmm... Ron Paul has a new book called "Revolution: A manifesto" Sorry to Ron Paul fans but I have said for a long time that Ron Paul is a trojan horse. He's like flypaper that gets any flying insect not just the flies. He had the money and the Republican machine. Gravel had neither. Gravel is THE anti-war candidate and ANTI-MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX candidate. That's one of the main differences between Paul and Gravel on the military/war issue.

  • I disagree. I believe that Ron Paul is definitely also against the MIC, which is why he also was marginialized. I disagree with RP in that I don't want to leave everything up to the states because I live in a conservative state, and my state has already made a marriage equal a man and a woman. Now, the obvious question would be, smh, are you a lesbian? The answer would be a resounding NO! But, I believe that we should all be equal under the Constituion!

  • amazon . com / s / ref = nb _ ss _ gw ? url = search - alias % 3Daps & field - keywords = mike + gravel & x = 0 & y = 0

    take out the spaces to get a list of gravel's books on amazon

  • now that i realize it, i only preordered two books of gravel's. i preordered "the kingmakers" and "a political odyssey." "my america" doesn't seem to be on amazon, but the cover of my america is being used for the picture of "a political odyssey"

  • i'm having trouble downloading video from youtube. can anyone help?

  • Children would come first. We treat them terribly. They are last in our society now. The economic machine makes slaves of their parents. The schools treat them like computers to be programmed with the right data. There's too much television and video games and not enough real, significant interaction/relationships with humans who have time to care and love them and help them grow.

  • I agree, do you remember when there was actually art, music, and P.E. in school? Creativity was paramont. Now, you just have to pass a test.

  • I like your thinking, Philly!

  • i think gravel has two books coming out this year. "the kingmakers" and "my america". he doesn't have three coming out in one year, does he?

  • Yes, the total this year will be four: Citizen Power was released in January. My America is due out in May. I think Kingmakers comes out in the fall - Sept Oct? and then there is the fourth book, a mystery to us all as of yet.

  • in my america people would be open-minded, accepting of others, and open to new ideas. they would challenge themselves creatively and intellectually.

  • Mr. Gravel has two additional books coming out this year. The third one is called something like the Kingmakers: the role of media in making the President (sorry I can't recall the title exactly...too tired, now...). I don't know the name of the fourth one or the contents.

  • What else is important in your America? This is directed to both Ross and gravelin08!

  • damn, it's a new day so we have to comment even more now to get the honors back...

  • My America would also be tolerant of all others regardless of sex, creed, race, or sexual orientation. I am fear that this country is headed toward Christian morality. Believe it or not, I was raised a Catholic, but I have always been taught that there are many paths- no one is more correct than anyone else!

  • i preordered both of mike's upcoming books on amazon, so i hope i'll be getting them both in the next two months

  • In my America, people would feel secure and free.
