\nFebruary 23, 2016<\/p>\n
Dear Senator Gravel: I greatly admire the courage you showed in
\n1971 when you helped stop the Viet Nam War by releasing the
\nPentagon Papers to the New York Times and reading them into
\nthe Congressional Record.<\/p>\n
Now is the time to stop another horrible war, the one in the Middle
\nEast, and you are still the man to do it.<\/p>\n
The 28 redacted pages from the Senate Intelligence Report on 9\/11
\nneed to be made public so the American people can learn how they
\nwere lied into supporting an illegal and wasteful war.<\/p>\n
I know you are a big fan of Bernie Sanders and want him to be the
\nnext president. Please call him today and urge the Senator to follow
\nyour lead by repeating what you did decades ago.<\/p>\n
His doing so will demonstrate a level of courage far greater than complaining
\nabout the unfairness of Wall Street billionaires.<\/p>\n
Speaking “Truth To Power” is what the country wants and needs. Donald
\nTrump is doing that far more boldly and effectively than his potential rival
\nfor the presidency, Senator Sanders.<\/p>\n
Trump just finished dispatching the Bush clan from their previous pedestal
\nof invulnerability. He did so, in part, by saying it like it is: “W lied us into
\nthe war in Iraq” and “the official narrative of 9\/11 is suspect!”<\/p>\n
He has taken on John McCain, the Mainstream Media<\/em>, illegal immigrants, Sanders is what my girlfriend’s Mom used to call me: “a failed idealist!” That’s what Trump represents to millions of voters and why he has a good Please call Bernie today and invite him to get busy: read the 28 redacted That is a bold platform for winning the White House. If Sanders wants to go Remind him next: if he wants to truly help his country and win the election, Sincerely,
\nthe Pope, the Fed and now has his sights on Hillary’s potentially criminal
\nbehavior regarding her private e-mails.<\/p>\n
\nI’m still proud of that label but prefer a new one: “successful pragmatist!”<\/p>\n
\nchance of becoming our next president. You and I may prefer a different
\nstyle but he is clearly eager to take on the role and get the job done.<\/p>\n
\npages; enter them into the Congressional Record; call for a new investigation;
\nspeak out strongly against wars based on lies; take on the Military-Industrial<\/em>
\nComplex<\/em> and the corporate media that covers up the corruption; hold those
\nresponsible for their part in the ongoing fiasco of endless wars and constrain
\nthe wasteful Pentagon spending on these senseless conflicts.<\/p>\n
\ndown in history as another failed idealist like Dennis Kucinich, tell him to keep
\ndoing what he’s doing now.<\/p>\n
\nthen he needs to be more like Mike (Gravel) and even the rambunctious Trump!<\/p>\n
