Description: MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Presidential candidate Sen. Mike Gravel shared his views on the war in Iraq, health care and affordable housing with an audience of New Hampshire voters. Gravel answered questions in "Conversation with the Candidate," an ongoing series produced by WMUR-TV in New Hampshire in which the candidates for president discuss issues on the minds of voters. Gravel said that he wants to bring Americans into government as partners with elected officials. His plan is called the National Initiative for Democracy, and he said it would allow policy issues to be decided by the people. "There's only two venues. There's the government or the people," Gravel said. "We know the problems lie in government right now, so we have no choice but to go to the venue of the people and say, 'Do you want to be empowered to be a lawmaker?'" You can watch the entire program as it aired on WMUR-TV along with a special, online-only bonus half-hour by clicking on the links above. Hear Gravel give his thoughts on the war in Iraq, universal health care and veterans benefits in front of a studio audience.

anyusmoon1 ::: Favorites I just can't possibly agree with the proposition that 60 million people will vote me off my land, or vote my money out of my pocket [into theirs or whomever THEY want]. The founders were wiser than this proposal they intended checks and balances. If you want to reaffirm your power as sovereign STOP the government from usurping the limited powers granted them and get back to being an informed JUROR. The power is there you must take it back. My vote is NO to Gravel. 07-06-27 16:17:30 __________________________________________________
