We haven't seen him at the debates in weeks, but apparently, We haven't seen him at the debates in weeks, but apparently, Mike Gravel is still in the running, and hosting a "mass donation day" today. From his campaign:
As of today, the Gravel Campaign is right on schedule when it comes to getting Mike's name in all the primaries and caucuses across the country. We already have confirmation from the 15 states where the deadline has passed, and we are hard at work on the remaining states. So far, we are confirmed in Michigan, Utah, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, New Hampshire, California, Connecticut, Arizona, Maryland, Arkansas, Tennessee and Washington State.
Censorship has been one of the key issues of the presidential primary season so far. Despite being cut out of two critical DNC-sanctioned debates by the media and the Democratic leadership, have you seen how Mike has still shaped the dialogue on the most important issues of today?
The most important question of the Las Vegas debate was a mom asking, "Will my son be redeployed to Iran?" This was a direct response to Mike calling out Hillary on Sept. 26 for her vote giving Bush the power to go to war against Iran. Mike got it started, and then Obama and Edwards got a clue. Mike was on it from the start!Mike is getting his message out in all kinds of creative ways thanks largely to our network of grassroots supporters, who are using any means to get word out about our campaign to empower the people. The recent Power to the People Youtube video is a perfect example of this. It is now ranked number one on AOL's web site and is generating a tremendous buzz on the Internet. This is the first in a series, so I can't wait to see the next!
Americans deserve peace, green energy, universal healthcare and so much more. Tell the Corporatocracy and the military-industrial complex that We, The People, will not be silenced!
In case you missed the link up there, the video is amazing. I'll take that over an attack ad any day. Mike, we've missed you so.
