I am going to begin speaking for the candidates in this topic thread. I've done this on another forum where the moderator ended up excluding me from tha forum (banned). The idea is to Debate the real topics that matter in the real world. I've sent challenges to Mike Gravel, Ron Paul, and Dennis Kucinich. I did so via the normal e-mail channels that those three provide to me (one person amid "The Public"). I am pretending to speak for all three candidates. Allow me to set the stage first. On YouTube (and anywhere on the network called "The Internet" and/or any "Major Media" outlet such as T.V.) a series of Debates occur where Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel debate. The Debate is called Summit by me. Summit 1 part 1 Topic: No More Legal Criminals Dennis Kucinich (DK): No moral human being alive can do nothing while legal criminals are torturing and mass murdering. Dick Cheney (and the NEOCONS) must be stopped now, not later, and this is why impeachment must move on. I (Dennis Kucinich) support No More Legal Criminals – including me. Mike Gravel: I too support No More Legal Criminals; however – I am no longer a Senator in power so I cannot vote on this current impeachment effort as a Senator in power. I can lend my support to stop the legal crime by offering a method of empowering the people directly into the legal process. Ron Paul: If the current power (democrat leadership) can bring impeachment to a vote, then, I will vote on that issue. Summit 1 part 2 Topic: Economy Ron Paul: Gold as legal tender will compete against any other form of currency. Gold as currency will flow equitably (without transferring purchasing power from earners) and this competing currency can empower people with the required tool to prosper. The current legal monopoly on legal currency held by the Federal Reserve Corporation (limited liability) can easily be seen as inadequate by comparison to many examples of more economical forms of currency suppliers. E-gold is one example. The greatest power of Gold as currency in legal terms (legal tender) is the power acquired through economical supply and demand limitations imposed by Gold (as currency). This is simpler than many economists project into the debate. Gold as legal tender will force the Federal Government to balance the federal budget because a direct link will be established between the costs of government and the income of government which, as we all should know, is the earning power of the tax base. Individual State governments may tend toward alternate laws concerning internal currency and do so at their own risk, their own cost, and very likely at their own peril, since, Gold flowing out of one State because of poor monetary legal policy will compete clearly against States maintaining a rich and economical policy. May, and this has always been the case, may the best policy win in a truly free money market. Dennis Kucinich: The currency form is secondary to the currency usage; like the cart before the horse. When blaming the form of currency for the problem there is a diversion of focus away from the abuser of currency. If the abuser of currency is hidden, then, the abuse can continue even if the currency form is changed. Perhaps a truly free money market will reach for the most accurate and least costly currency for any group of people; however – the economy is currently threatened by much more than the inflationary and deflationary insider trading policies of the Federal Reserve Board of investors. When the health of the populace is up for sale and when the highest bidder is given license to profit from sickness, then, the people will be injured for profit. This is really simple. If any organized human effort is moral, then, it spends power toward healing – it does not invest in sickness. Human organization that intends to profit from sickness will be human effort expended toward creating sickness. That cannot be tolerated in a free society. That, my friends, is truly a race to the bottom. Mike Gravel: All of these issues will continue to be unreasonable, perpetual, and self-defeating, on purpose I must add, because the power to act (legally) is monopolized by the powerful against the weak. People have to gain more power. This is as simple as it gets.
