Mike Gravel calls for independent 9/11 investigation and prosecution of Bush and C...
The former Democratic senator from Alaska discusses his presidential campaign, his role in the releasing of the Pentagon Papers and his support for NYC 9/11 Ballot Initiative Campaign, a grassroots group seeking to place an initiative on the ballot of the November 6th general election allowing registered New York City voters to create a new commission to investigate 9/11. (Democracy Now!)

" I view this very, very serious. I don’t see the body politic having the guts to go out and make a new—a real new investigation, because the way politicians act, whether it’s Democrat or Republican, “Oh, we’ll investigate a little bit, but let’s not go too deeply, because we’ve got to cover their backside, because they’ll cover our backside,” and it’s too political in nature.
And so, with the commission that we’re talking about 9/11 here in New York City, now that’s a commission that’s going to be a real commission. And that commission now can make a true investigation as to what happened on 9/11, but not just 9/11, because the war is tied with that. And so, this will give us an opportunity to vertically go into all the backup to this data and have subpoena powers to have people testify. Now, if a person perjures themself here with the New York commission, it’s perjury, so it’s a crime. And so, maybe, maybe this will give us an opportunity to have justice, and we can begin subpoenaing the President of the United States—at that time, he’ll be the former president—and the Vice President and go on down into the boughs of the intelligence and a whole host of areas to get to the truth. We don’t know the truth. " The former Democratic senator from Alaska discusses his presidential campaign, his role in the releasing of the Pentagon Papers and hi... more -

Gravel Says Weed Is Safer Than Booze
Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel, 77, recently appeared as part of a series in which candidates and candidate representatives were asked to speak to students about their campaigns. At one point Gravel, who has called the war on drugs a failure, offered the students some advice.
"I'm sure a lot of you have tripped out on alcohol," Gravel said. "It's a lot safer to do it on marijuana." Gravel also told the students, "With respect to other drugs, if you've got a problem with coke, go to a doctor, get a prescription and get it filled at a drug store."

Notes on the Iowa Caucuses
Does anything say "joke presidential candidacy" like Chuck Norris's unnaturally-white toothy grin behind you in your "victory" speech?

"Kickin it Gravel Style"
Hi America, it's me Citizen Kate,
Dateline: Des Moines
I learned how hard it is to be an outsider trying to cover inside politics, especially when you run into the control nuts at NPR. I never ever had an experience like the one I had with cool outsider candidate Senator MIke Gravel.
I'm on a quest to find out about America's next great leader. I always say if you don't know, don't vote. So I've been interviewing the presidential candidates. Do I know anything about politics? No. Am I a reporter? Not really. Has that ever stopped me? Heck no! I'm "the people" and we deserve a voice.
Note to self: politics is a tough nut to crack!
Peace and Hugs
Citizen Kate

Kickin' it Gravel Style
We spent a crazy day with people's presidential candidate Mike Gravel. It was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life. Apparently National "public" Radio isn't really about the public being able to spend a day with a candidate and find out what makes them tick. It's about keeping independent reporters out, even if they've got credentials!
