Controversial peace advocate, Senator Mike Gravel, shares his thoughts on "Hope vs. The Government as Usual" and the real opportunity for egalitarian change.

What will it take to make real change? Whether it is changing course on militarism, halting the theft from Wall Street or getting big money out of politics, We The People are the answer. Beyond protesting and letter writing, find out about real citizen empowerment, The National Initiative for Democracy. Find out more at http://www.ni4d.us/.

Senator Gravel, a controversial figure who ended the draft, helped release the Pentagon Papers, ended US nuclear weapons testing in the North Pacific, initiated the Nuclear Critique and challenged the status quo in the Democratic Presidential debates, shares his perspective on where we are now, where we are going and how we can make real change to bring peace and sustainability to our country and the world.
