Sen. Mike Gravel will speak at the 6th Annual DemocracyFest, a political festival for liberal/progressive activists, July 17-19 in Burlington, VT.

Sen. Gravel served as the Democratic US Senate for 12 years during the Vietnam War Era from the state of Alaska, during which time he took a strong anti-war stand and released the Pentagon Papers into public record. Sen. Gravel ran in the 2008 Democratic Primary for President, raising much debate about the influence of media on the Primary process when he was excluded from MSM sponsored debates.

Sen. Gravel continues his work as an author and lecturer promoting Direct Democracy. He will be joined at DemocracyFest by Gov. Howard Dean and Rep. David Zuckerman, as well as other interesting speakers and entertainers. For more information about the event, please go to http://www.DemocracyFest.net

We recently confirmed that filmmaker Heath Eiden will be presenting a screening of his new movie "Dean and Me" at DemocracyFest; July17-19 in Burlington, VT! http://www.DemocracyFest.net

The film is about Howard Dean's presidential campaign and there is a long list of grassroots people featured in the movie...too long to list here, but you can see the list on the film's website: http://thegrassrootsmovie.com/...

Of coarse, we hope to see you all at DemocracyFest, but if you can't make it to the event, we hope you will check out the movie when it is released to the public. Kudos to Heath for putting so much time and energy into documenting Dean's historic grassroots campaign!

One of the founding goals of DemocracyFest is to produce an event that is affordable for all liberal/progressive activists to participate in. That is why we are probably one the most neurotic Board of Directors out there when it comes to being fiscally conservative with our budget and keeping our ticket prices as low as possible (about 1/4 the cost of attending similar political conferences).

DemocracyFest is a political festival for liberal/progressive activists which features trainings, speakers and entertainment; teaching people how to make a difference and have fun doing it! Prior DemocracyFests have been held in Massachusetts, Texas, California, New Hampshire and Virginia. Over 4,000 activists have been trained to help on campaigns and make a difference in their communities. The 6th Annual DemocracyFest will be held July 17th-19th in Burlington, VT.

Four days ago, the VT Senate passed S.115, a bill legalizing same sex marriage, by a vote of 26-4.

Two days ago, as the VT House Judiciary Committee had just begun their hearings, Gov. Jim Douglas (R) announced he will veto the bill when it reaches his desk after an almost certain victory in the House (but with uncertainty if there is enough votes for a veto override). This is the first time in his 4 terms of office that Gov. Douglas has announced his veto plans while a bill is still going through the legislative process.

We are not going away just because Douglas held a press conference and wished it so!
