It's Official: Senator Gravel Invited to CNN Debate

Im from Australia, when is the debate?  Can it be watched live on the internet?

I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say once more time! You're really making a difference, so keep it up!

Mike you are our only hope for a country that has truly gone the way of corruption and corporate greed. It's sad but true. We need you mike! Keep fighting the fight and give 'em hell.

To Me, this is Amazing ;-)

I have begun to write a Novel about the Agenda of the 44th President of the United States-- an Independent President... Beyond Reproach-- Sound like Gravel to You? ;-)

Whether Gravel has a Chance for the Demo Nomination doesn't Matter... I believe We the People need to be Prepared for an All Out Political Battle with the Status Quo. Therefore, no Demo Nomination-- No Problem... Run as an Independent under the Roosevelt Party ;-)

This is your chance to show the world democracy isn't dead in America. This is your chance to make your voice heard and to show the current administration we do not agree and we will not be scared into laying down and giving up our freedoms and constitutional rights for wars backed by the greed of resources and money. Please America stand up every day and tell someone about Mike Gravel. Print bumper stickers and VOTE IN THE PRIMARY! It is so important for Mike Gravel to win the primary to get the official Democratic party backing with the campaign funding and all. This is our goal. If we can get him there, Gravel WILL win this election.

Thank you to everyone who signed my petition urging that Sen. Gravel be included in the debate. We ended up with 6,000 signatures just since Saturday afternoon. I am cutting the petition off today and will send it to the publisher of the Union Leader to reinforce the point.

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it" -Voltaire

yea it's the power of people.

...This is the first time I have felt my actions have made any meaningful impact on the seemingly impenetrable fortress of big media, corporate interest, and Washington Insider.

We should all use this experience to reassure ourselves that Sen. Gravel is a long shot only if we believe it from the know-nothing pundits (you know, the ones that scared us into ignoring the PATRIOT Act and believing war was a good idea). The people ultimately decide which candidates win the election, and history has shown that to be the case.

I've been making it a point to write to every journalist, TV, print or radio that characterizes Gravel's campaign dismissively asking for equal, fair, unbiased coverage (I'll make sure to post when and where I see it happening). You know, it really only takes the co-ordinated action of a few hundred people for a local newspaper or a blogger to really feel there is a major backlash. The Christian right has accomplished this with their vigilance of broadcast programs to convince networks to pull programs and the FCC to levy gigantic fines when really the support is really very minimal. I am the outgoing General Manager of a college radio station, and our rule of thumb is one caller = 20 listeners. So 300 letters in the mind of the media types is something like 3,000-6,000 supporters. Your voice does have an impact.

We should also consider organizing boycotts of CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC advertisers' products if Sen. Gravel continues to see unfair treatment from these networks (including characterizing him as a third-tier candidate).

And on the other hand, people should send thank you notes to the people from CNN and the New Hampshire press for listening to our voices. This may encourage them to listen to us the next time.

I mean, come on. Does anyone really see a single person in this country getting fired up by Dodd, Biden or Richardson? Does anyone have a reason to like Clinton, Edwards or Obama other than some specious claim that they are "electable"? They stand for nothing-in-particular, their platforms are as pedantic as they are vague. Let's be respectful, but let's be loud, and let's be as active as the forums on this site have been lately.

What other candidate can say that and mean it!

Thank the content of Gravel's words for me as well. The youtube video clip http://youtube.com/watch?v=1gMlHv2lDqA was a nice summary of the debate in South Carolina on 4-26-07. The words were passionate, open-heartedly honest, and provided a sting of truth that a reflection of looking in the mirror can only bring. I remember watching Kerry during his debates and thinking how painfully predictable his talking points were, fearful of offending anyone/facing any truth (not that the fake cowboy was any better). His points about our culture being shaped by lobbyists and defense spending, the fear factor, illegal wars, and the banning nuke talk/non-proliferation of nuke violators (us) were what compelled many of us to act. I thank Big Mike for providing the email addresses here and Neomeme for his link to the video here. Thanks guys.

What would the U.S. look like if we reallocated the whole defense budget into eliminating homeless, feeding the hungry, and education, among the few worthy causes?

Great news!

Lol.  A total of 5,821 signatures. Not bad.

http://plubius.wordpress.com wants Gravel for President!

I'm so glad to hear this!  Even though Clinton and Obama are skipping out on this debate if any candidate wants to go they should be allowed to be there since they are a legit candidate.  Will this be aired on national tv or viewed on the web?

That's fantastic! Glad the absence of fresh air and a social life,for 72 hours,  paid off. Congrats!

Awesome. We did it.

In world of conflict, victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, not to be on the side of the executioners - Camus

This is great. There were many people doubting we could go anywhere with this, but this event shows we can do much with enough effort.

We did it! Victory is ours!

*a warm glow of satisfaction and hope - there is such optimism here that has been too long gone from politics....and now results too. 

Namaste,

This is great news!  It's refreshing to be part of a campaign in which our concerted efforts actually yield tangible results. 

This reminds me of that famous Margaret Mead quote that rings so true today as when she first uttered it: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."

Kick ass! :D
