Merry Christmas!

Dear Friend,

Happy Holidays! I hope you are enjoying your holiday season. This past
year has been quite an adventure for us. We've been all over the United States
speaking to supporters and future supporters about the campaign. It's amazing
to see how many people are tired of politics as usual and ready for a change. But
I'm sure I don't have to tell you that!

We Want to Thank You!

Dear friend,

As 2007 winds to an end I'd like
to take a moment to extend my appreciation and admiration to all of you who
worked so hard to make the Mike Gravel for President campaign what it is today.
We knew from the very beginning that this campaign would not make it through
the year without your help. Nobody in Washington,
D.C. gave us a fighting chance

A Personal Note from Elliott Jacobson,

We are now entering a crucial phase in our campaign. Some of the

A Personal Message from Mike Gravel,

As a United States Senator when our nation waged a war of choice in Vietnam, I became
keenly aware of the awesome power of the United States, and the propensity for the
misuse of power by political leaders who divorce the morality of our nation's policies
from the morality expected of individual American citizens.

Gravel Fights Back
Against Corporate Censorship

Fresh on the heels of MSNBC's exclusion of Senator Mike Gravel from
last week's Philadelphia debate, we now hear that CNN has cut the
Senator from its November 15 debate in Las Vegas. Like MSNBC, CNN's
justification comes down to one ugly factor: MONEY.

CNN says Mike must meet three criteria:

* Form a federal exploratory committee and officially declare his
candidacy. (He did.)

* Poll at 1% or above. (He does.)

* Raise at least $1 million in individual contributions since
January 1, 2007. (He has not.)
