The National Initiative
Wednesday, 23. January 2008, 07:23:56
Meeting Mike Gravel was the best part of my New Hampshire trip. Honestly. Meeting Dennis Kucinich was very cool, but he (in person) was very politician-like and didn't give the Bandit and I the time of day. I don't know how to explain it- Dennis wasn't mean, but I thought he would be more human. You see, Dennis never heard our song in New Hampshire. Not once. Every-time we played it was before he entered the building, or on the street when he was somewhere else.
But, one day we were playing on the street and Mike Gravel came walking up. I was so surprised and happy to see him. He is a very nice-looking man; always smiling. He said, "Let's hear some music!" So, we told him that we actually made a song for Dennis Kucinich and he wanted to hear it. We played our Dennis song and he listened intently and danced along. He said, "Wow, that was fantastic! You must write a song about my National Initiative plan!" At this time, I have only heard a little about the plan and never looked into it. He gave us his personal cell phone number and told us to call him when our song for his plan was finished. Naturally, we said, "We will!"
Not only did Mike Gravel like our music, but he liked our song about a different candidate! Starting about a year ago the candidates were announcing their decision to run for president. I was interested in Dennis Kucinich the whole time because Mike Gravel seemed a little too frustrated or angry to be president. I never gave him a chance and never watched his videos. Then, about three months ago I took the blind taste test to see which candidate you most likely fit with; I was too embarrassed to tell anyone that Mike Gravel fit me best. Why? Because I had worked so hard for Kucinich and because Kucinich seemed to have more optimism that was inspirational. I came to the conclusion that I am still voting for Dennis. He would be a Great politician. However, I am really going to start campaigning for Mike Gravel's National Initiative.
The National Initiative, in the simplist term, is giving the people the right to vote in and pass/ deny laws. Please watch this video- I swear it's not long!

To find out more of what the National Inititaive for Democracy is, please PLEASE visit this website: www.nationalinitiative.us and read all of what it has to say. This will truly revolutionize voting.
I have come to reality in knowing that Dennis Kucinich will not win the presidency. I will not properly be represented by my congressmen/women, senators, or president. I want this to pass (and you can vote for it online here: https://votep2.us/) so that my voice and the people's voices will be heard. It's a great stepping stone toward a real democracy.
Mike Gravel told me that he is not running for president to win. He's running for president to share the knowledge of the National Initiative (which he wrote a decade ago). I am going to help him with this great task. Are you with me?

It's a small game played around the opera community.
I just thought that you may want to partake in it.
