In the News...

Mike Gravel got some attention from TechCrunch, a talk show that is interviewing many candidates with regard to technology policy in the upcoming election. Because Gravel is such a minor candidate, he was able to show off some of his other policy points (besides honesty and his filibuster a couple decades ago...). Gravel proclaimed himself to favor Net Neutrality, alternative energy science - he even is the only candidate to explicitly state he is in favor of a carbon-emissions tax. In fact, the interviewer was enamored with Gravel's open personality, and answers that actually answered the questions posed to him.

Mike Gravel held the Mike Gravel Rally for Freedom - he still touts his anti-Hillary persona, and is urging you to "stop letting mainstream media influence you." The 'party,' held in Los Angeles, is scheduled for Monday December 10th.

Also, with respect to a previous article referencing Gravel's "avante-garde campaign ads," the 77-year-old is actually attracting attention - including a 27-year-old millionaire Gregory Chase. Chase, along with many other internet users, found Gravel through his YouTube videos - and have since promised much-needed fiscal support for the Gravel movement. The scrappy politician gets attention for his honesty - often humorously blunt with attacks on the "gutless wonders" (the other Democratic candidates; namely, Hilary Clinton) - as well as for lauding praises about ending the draft in 1971 and 'unleashing' the Pentagon Papers.
