Governments throughout history have been tools of oppression; they need not be. American citizens can gain control of their government by becoming lawmakers. How, when the Congress is not likely to share its power with the people?

The central power of government in a democracy is lawmaking –– not voting. Those who make the laws determine how, when, and if voters can vote. Mike Gravel has long supported the National Initiative for Democracy, a proposed law sponsored by The Democracy Foundation (www.nationalinitiative.us), a non-profit IRS 501 C (3) corporation that includes an Amendment to the Constitution and a Federal Statute. It's why the corporate mass media don't want to drraw your attention to Gravel in this election any more than they must.

You don't read or hear much about Mike in the mass media, because he is a danger to the existing political system and members of neither political party want you to know who he is and what he stands for He is the man working Americans have long waited for; the man who will move us one big giant step toward true democracy. And that's why he is so feared and almost invisible in this race.

We're coming into the back stretch of the 2008 presidential election and Mike needs your help...financially now, and your vote in 2008. Read the facts about Mike presented here on this website and then go to Mike's web to learn a little more about the man who would be your president.

If we working Americans don't support Mike Gravel now and vote for him on election day, we will be the losers not him.
