Dear Sharra, Mike Gravel served as a United States Senator from Alaska from 1969 to 1981 and is a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. You may not have heard of him because he hasn't yet qualified for any debates. But his voice is important. During his time in Senate, he garnered wide respect for his unabashed opposition to the Vietnam War and for reading the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record, risking expulsion from the Senate. Democracy is, by definition, for the people and by the people. Democracy thrives when brave men like Mike Gravel risk their careers to do what's just and right. That's why diverse and provocative voices like Gravel's are so important to move the debates and conversation about our nation's peace and prosperity forward. Thanks to you, I'm on the debate stage. And that's why today I'm using this platform, granted to me by you, to ask for your help. Gravel is only 10,000 donations short of qualifying for the July debates. Please send him to the July debate stage by donating $1 to the Mike Gravel campaign here. Thank you for your commitment to articulating and amplifying the ideas that matter most. All my best, Marianne |
