Vexatious Policy Issues Decided BY the People

Mike Gravel: "You want to Take Back America? It's not just taking power for us, the activists; it's taking power for the people. It's a shift of power from the elites. You hear "Take back the power," but Americans never had it. The Constitution is not a very democratic document. Because of slavery, we pushed the people aside, so they don't have lawmaking power today. In 24 states, over half the American population makes laws at the state level. Why not at the federal level?
We need a system where the people can make laws [by national ballot initiative]. That will free up the representatives to do a better job on the day-to-day operations of government."

"Freedom is participation in power, but the American people cannot participate except once every 2 years or 4 years. In the meantime, they go protest. Whenever I see a protest, I see that our democracy is not yet fully mature. Freedom is sharing power, and we don't have enough power."

"We have the opportunity to raise our democratic ideals to new heights by enacting legislation--the National Initiative--that will bring American voters into the operations of government as lawmakers. American voters would empower themselves to legislate on policies that affect their lives, in a partnership with their elected officials. The enactment of the National Initiative would forever change the paradigm of human governance, adding a new check--We, the People--to our system of Checks and Balances."

for those who say he has no chance...ask WHY

Last time I checked, we hadn't held an election yet.

If they believe what Gravel says, what other choice is there?

Is a vote for Gravel more "wasted" than just staying home? That is what much of America does anyway.

[Voiceofjon]

that is going down in histroy as one of the best quotes.

[Rickdeckard2020]

What?

I'll grant you that Obama is the lesser of 3 Evils, but as for change, hes a CFR member with Brezenski as advisor.

[rockout121]

About the status quo, Obama is opposed to it, but people do not want to admit it because he has been successful.

[Rickdeckard2020]

All candidates opposing the status quo should unite.

Gravel, Kucinich, Paul, Ventura, Nader, and so on. Realistically, not one of them individually can pull it off against the two parties (except Ventura because he is in the center and charismatic, but hes not on the ballots so he cant do it alone for 08) but if they all join forces they could rock the boat

You don't understand the national initiative at all, Edward.

[eddyecho]

we not be able to overturn roe vs wade under the national initiative. only the supreme court could do that. Besides the republicans dont want to overturn Roe vs. Wade because then it will be up to the states and they wouldn't have anything to campaign on when they run for federal office.

[BlitzerSephiroth]

Thank you Mike.

[jonperry]

He my not have a chance in the election, but the NATIONAL INITIATIVE DOES HAVE A CHANCE. Gravel can lose, but the National Initiative idea needs to be kept alive. Spread the word, give your money, get everyone to sign the petition.

[Voiceofjon]

At the end it almost sounded like a classic movie like Too kill a mockingbird

[haveanopenmind]
