Ralph Nader was partly correct when he wrote that Sen. Gravel is a fresh wind coming down from Alaska. Maverick Sen. Gravel is more than - he’s a smashing storm about to rock the very foundation of the concept of democracy with the bold concept of direct democracy. His Fair Tax plan will likewise shatter the regressive taxation system that we have and make it more equitable.

I think it’s about time that Democrats rally behind someone who embraces the real ideals upon which the party was established.

I have never heard of Mike Gravel before either. He looks good on most of his issues, but I have to wonder about the "National Initiative for Democracy"... need to read more about it before forming a solid opinion, but it sounds like it could have some major downfalls.
