"For a few days there, Mike Gravel's race to become the Democratic presidential
nominee was in mortal danger. You see, Gravel wasn't invited to the upcoming
gay-issue presidential debate hosted by the Human Rights Campaign, and he was
hopping mad. HRC argued that the debate, initially, was only one hour long, and they wanted to limit it to serious candidates - as Gravel hadn't raised much money, he didn't
make the cut. A number of gay bloggers jumped in to the fray in Gravel's defense,
and the HRC relented (it didn't hurt that the debate is now 1.5 hours, giving more time for the major candidates to be pressed on their gay views)."
Common haven't you seen this guys campaign ad, he doesn't say much. Just make sure that the debate has a wishing pond for him to throw some coins in, wishing for the election is his best chance of winning, and he will be happy. Seriously though, I understand the concern about their being so many voices on the stage, but the candidates who feel like there are too many people running could make it so there were fewer. All they have to do is drop out of the race. To be honest, I think Gravel would be a great president, every once in a while he would have a press conference and throw rocks into the reflecting pond in the capital mall.

Mike Gravel is a hero to Americans who want the truth. To me it's very sad that some of the people who he most wants to help (the gay and lesbian community) tried to turn their back on him. We must reject the corporate owned candidates! It's time for real change, It's time for Mike Gravel!
No more voting for the lesser of two evils. How about voting for a true hero: Mike Gravel.
Gravel is serious unlike your trivial opinion about him and other people's perspectives of him (i.e. the video art piece with Gravel dropping a rock in the SF lake).
Please be respectful of someone who has your best interests as their inspiration and driving force. Gravel is fighting for our country's ultimate survival and revival. Without people like Gravel, fighting and taking action for truth, diversity, and unification of people in this country and around the world, we will end up falling further into a darkness that none of even WANT to imagine.
Thank you for your willingness to listen. I realize I am responding out of emotion but I feel I have brought simple truths to light.
ALOHA.
