HIGH FLYIN' FLAG 4th OF JULY ROLLING THUNDER POLITICAL DEMONSTRATIONS HOME PAGE

When presented with this flag as a gift, Bobby Kennedy Jr. commented, "I get gifts whereever I travel. This one I really like!" The flag has hung in his law office for several years now. (note the gold fringed flag behind us)

Walking the grassroots unity flag across the Brooklyn Bridge enroute to Wash. D.C. During days of walking against multiple lanes of oncoming traffic the response seemed very positive.

Granny D. On February 29, 2000, ninety-year-old Doris "Granny D" Haddock completed a 14 month walk from Los Angeles to the steps of the Capitol in Washington, DC - a feat undertaken in order to draw attention to the need for national campaign finance reform.

Senator Mike Gravel, 2 term independent Senator from Alaska best known for having read the Pentagon Papers into the official record thus saving Daniel Elsberg and eventually leading to the end of the Vietnam War. Sick of the corruption of politics, Mike wants to see Americans step up to the promise of real Democracy. On Sept 17, '02 Mike is launching a 7 year initiative drive to give every American at every level of governance, local, state, and national, the right to make law through the initiative process, directly by a polling of the people. Currently only 24 states offer this right by law. Mikes proposal, which I believe is the most powerful of the deep democracy, electoral reforms currently under discussion (along with publically financed campaigns, open presidential debates, and instant runoff voting), would codify the idea that the ultimate authority for democratic governance resides in the hands of its people. His proposal would create a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right of innitiative at every level and by a parrallel act would establish the mechanism for holding initiatives.
