We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

How dare you, sir? You have done an excellent job representing me these past four months, and I have highly approved of the job you've done. And when it came to Iraq, you had vocally called for the withdraw of American forces from that unwinnable war. You joined 168 of your colleagues and voted for the McGovern bill. Why, then, did you cave and vote for the war funding that does not have any timelines? As someone who actively supported you, went to a rally, and even had the opportunity to meet with you personally, I feel confused, disappointed, and betrayed.

I'd like to start by saying that I like the Democratic field.  We have a good list of candidates to choose from and while they can all be critiqued from the left, in the end I can see myself lining up behind the eventual nominee [even Joe Biden] against whichever thug the GOP throws at us.  With that said, I'd like to suggest a good reason for throwing some [easy] support behind the Gravel campaign as well as explain the type of support I'm asking for.  The hints are in the title, and the details are below the fold.
