Other Issues

I can no longer support any political parties, period.  I think we'd have a much more ethical countries if all political parties become outlawed.  This word politician is a Latin word that means "paid liar".

I would like to encourage people again that care about NI4D to use the alternative media to get this idea out to the masses. Blogs, internet radio, access tv or any other medium while it is still available. In light of the draconian health care bill that was passed along with other legislation that is being crammed through, it time for people to realize that the only way to have any kind power is to become law makers themselves. Because these so called politicians clearly are not representing the wishes of the people. Everyone has to do their part to make it happen.

Here is footage of various town hall meetings across the country protesting the so called Obamacare. People for all sides are waking up to the fraud of the two party system and that the representatives dont represent them. Now is the time to really start pushing for NI4D here in the US. Supporters look at doing community radio shows, internet radio, or access tv. I have posted this call for exposure before and I hope this time it gets more response. Something is definately brewing and now is the time to act. Enjoy the clips

It was sad to hear Mike say that he's given up hope for a national initiative here in America. Certainly a great deal of the interest in a national initiative, and direct democracy, is due to his efforts. I think that direct democracy is inevitable. I don't know how long it will take to be enacted, but Mike Gravel's name will always be associated with the national initiative movement, and he will be regarded as one of the founding fathers and mothers of direct democracy in America.

In light of all of the draconian legislation that is coming up in congress, now is the best time to push NI4D. Using internet broadcasts or community radio to do shows highlighting this issue would be a good way to get out the message. Blogtalk radio is a venue where you can do this for free. Its best to use this medium, before congress passes legislation to ban free speech. For those who post here or are friends on Mike's social networking outlets, should seriously consider the idea. The more voices the better.

Anybody heard from Mike since this news broke of the armetis treaty being broken and a threat of war between North and South Korea? Hadnt seen any posts or interview clips. This puts a wrench in the works.

Josh Pritikin has posted links to Mike's interview with Riz Khan on al Jazeera at ni4d.us :

Nice 'stasche Mike!

Sarah Palin's Clean Slate

Mike Gravel :

Where goodness is measured in heartbeats - and loss by the mile

it should come as little surprise, how many would choose denial

in vain fight a worldly curse, & in so doing be none but the worse

for when with our last breath we take

then and only then see the mistake

how the profit of much caused us to forsake

the keys that open the next universe's gate

those keys that we might have made

when the universe was 'small'

can never be simply wrought

with mercantile gall
