Gravel has worked for a generation on a practical plan to have people make national laws directly, as a check and balance on Congress. http://Vote.org has the details of his National Initiative for Democracy, which includes many improvements on the ballot initiative process used in 24 states. Mike credits the Occupy movement which favors direct democracy
