Dear Senator Gravel:<\/p>\n
I just finished listening to your fabulous interview with Kevin Barrett at Veterans Today. Your talk was so comprehensive and “right on” that it inspired me to go back and look At that time you attached your essay about how a successful Sanders campaign Unlike you, I never was a fan of Sanders and wrote many essays expressing my doubts\u00a0about his legitimacy. Sadly, I was correct in my assessment as your comments to Barrett in\u00a0June indicated when you said his future endorsement of Hillary would be “business as usual!”<\/p>\n As Stephen Lendman points out in his withering criticism of Sanders new projects\u00a0including “Our Revolution” it appears there are others who agree with my views.\u00a0Bernie Sanders Dubious ‘Our Revolution’ Initiative<\/a><\/p>\n Being correct about bad news is quite unsatisfying since it leaves the problems that one I applaud your boldness and courage in speaking truth to power in your Barrett interview. But with Obama caught in the Middle East malaise and not wanting to be the one who “lost Syria” or be seen as weak against Russia in Ukraine much less China in the South China Sea,\u00a0we have entered treacherous waters with little prospect for the kind of change envisioned in\u00a0your proposal to institute the NCID. http:\/\/www.ncid.us\/<\/a><\/p>\n That leaves us in a very precarious situation in terms of the potential to empower citizens You have invested so much time and energy promoting a higher vision for our citizenry by It is my sincere wish that we can find a way forward that will help us overcome these tragic Warm regards to you and Whitney.<\/p>\n Sincerely, Rich Scheck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47253\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nhttp:\/\/www.veteranstodaylive.com\/2016\/08\/19\/452169\/<\/a> It is dated August 19th but
\napparently was recorded back in early June. This is the first time I saw it at VT.<\/p>\n
\nat the e-mail you sent me on February 22nd in response to my essay asking what will
\nthe Sanders voters do if he loses the election. https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=32036<\/a><\/p>\n
\nwould still require him to enact “Structural Reform” in order to insure that his political
\n“revolution” would be able to empower the people by transcending the limitations of
\nrepresentative government.<\/p>\n
\nis talking about unresolved. That is the case now with Sanders having lost, Hillary on
\nthe verge of making “Herstory” and Trump doing a few things right while at the same time
\nundermining his populist image with stupid comments and globalist advisers like Giuliani.<\/p>\n
\nIt shows you remain one of only a few public servants willing to take on the military
\nindustrial complex and national security state while encouraging “we the people” to
\nassert their rights.<\/p>\n
\nto trigger change by acting as legislators. I believe there is a high likelihood of some sort
\nof breakdown in the near future including the prospect of a suspended or cancelled election\u00a0in 2016.<\/p>\n
\ninviting them to take back their power in the face of massive government corruption. Both
\nyour plan and mine for a new political party designed to achieve peace are faced with new
\nbarriers to success in light of these developments. https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=32281<\/a><\/p>\n
\ndevelopments, avoid more wars and succeed in establishing a political regime designed to
\nimplement the long-promised “peace dividend” by promoting livingry rather than weaponry.<\/p>\n
