Mike Sues to Stop Pro-Clinton 527 Group

gravel2008.us — Today Senator Mike Gravel filed a federal lawsuit against a pro-Hillary 527 political organization, which is running a YouTube ad that, if aired on TV, flagrantly violates the law.   The Senator has asked the court to slap a temporary restraining order on this 527 to prevent it from breaking the law with this commercial. This 527 has failed to

    I know the media enjoys casting him as a "crazy grandpa," but Mike Gravel is a principled American hero who deserves respect.

      How is this that much different from any other half truth filled attack ad?

      Minoss is right -- even if you don't like the concept of 527s, there's nothing illegal about this ad. It doesn't mention Hillary's campaign, doesn't encourage people to vote for her, doesn't mention Obama. It's a standard 527 ad. Digg me down if you must, but it's the truth.

      Let's be done with the debates. If you don't know where the candidates stand on which issues by now they either haven't said (i.e. war on drugs) or they won't say. Look on the web at their sites. But after I've sat through about half of the 20 debates I can safely say I don't want any more until the ones for the general election, and those are normally quite lame and scripted.

    Gravel is truly the best candidate running on the Democratic side. I think it's abominable how the media has been ignoring him and how many don't even know who he is or that he's running. It's possible that Gravel will join forces with Nader. That might be interesting if it happens.

    I still thought you should of sued Hillary and Edwards for there comments after the NAACP debate for obstructing your rights as liberty and the persuit of happiness by having you excluded from the debates.

    I supported Gravel ever since I read up on him after the first Dem. debate. He's the first candidate to whom I've ever donated money. I wanted America to wake up to him. Alas, he's ahead of his time and didn't have enough funds and campaign organization to breakthrough the media wall.

    I'm very happy with my support of Obama now but I'll never stop supporting Gravel as well.

    Gravel is an American patriot, freedom fighter, maverick politician for the people, and 'world citizen' all wrapped into one. He always fights for what's right. Gravel will forever be -- to me and countless others -- a true hero.

    Mike's a whining little you know what.

    YouTube is NOT broadcast TV - Hillary's group should move for summary dismissal of the case on that alone.

    Hey mikey, iTunes vulgarity laden rap and rock music spews hate speech and obscenities, why don't you try shutting down iTunes for violating --Radio-- laws too!

    Gavel = Tool.

    I'm glad to see a true American patriot like Gravel bringing attention to this important matter. Hopefully the MSM will run with this story, and only further alienate Clinton from her voters with her swift-boat tactics.

    When I clicked on the link it took me to the gravel 08 page and said that I has been denied access to the content. WTF!
