Gravel in 08
It is disgraceful that minimum wage was bundled in with the Iraq funding bill! This is NOT what the 2006 election was about. If longstanding Democrats are distraught over this manuever, stop and think what the vast majority of our fellow citizens are feeling -- disgusted, turned off and tuned out -- believing that their government has (here comes a new phrase) resorted to "politics as usual". As such, I repeat my support for a Presidential candidate who publicly opposed the Iraq war in 2002! Mike Gravel -- A Maverick on a Mission for America. Information on his proposed legislation: the U.S. Armed Forces Withdrawal from Iraq Act at www.gravel2008.us. Gravel's guts resulted in the end of the draft and the release of the true story of our sorry involvement in Vietnam. He launched a successful 5 month filibuster when he was in the Senate. You want significant change -- not cosmetic promises while more people die needlessly -- support the Gravel Plan.
Besides what is on you tube, this recent interview with Gravel is worth the read. If you are so inclined, pass it along or comment. Link

Check out the U.S. Armed Forces Withdrawal from Iraq Act, legislation that would make it a crime if the Administration did not withdraw our troops within 60 days of enactment. A clear, concise and effective vehicle for ending this misbegotten folly. The American people can get behind this legislative package -- the details of which can be obtained through Mike Gravel's website(www.gravel2008.us) -- that will achieve the desired outcome because: (a) the vast majority of Americans want us out now!; and (b) mandatory prison terms will be imposed if the law is ignored.
Unlike non-binding resolutions, silly negotiations with the White House and more hand-wringing, Gravel's legislation will get results. Add a request that Congress pass the U.S. Armed Forces Withdrawal from Iraq Act to all of your communications with your representative and senators. Keep up the pressure.

Here's the link -- does Mike make sense?? Common Sense!
Suggest that your list members read about the Maverick on a Mission -- and then support a candidate with determination -- fighting for change. Go Gravel -- www.gravel2008.us
