Last month, on June 6th, member of Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Eric Jackman, asked former Senator Gravel;

"It's been reported that you will support a new global investigation into the events of September 11th, do you care to elaborate on that?"

Gravel responded: "Well, as much I know... I've had several people approach me on that, and I said, I have no problem, because every time we had an investigation of the Kennedy assassination, we learned more, and we've had several of those investigations, and we kept learning more, and learning more. So I don't think that there's any harm, in having additional investigations as to what really happened on 9/11."

This is an extremely strong and positive public statement from a political candidate with a dedicated base, and very candid views on the Military Industrial Complex;

"The Military-Industrial-Complex not only controls our government, lock, stock and barrel, but they control our culture."

Gravel could kick awareness of 9/11 skepticism, 9/11 Truth, whatever you want to call it, onto an entirely new level given the chance. Yesterday, Gravel's Press Secretary, Alex Colvin, posted this statement in a 9/11 thread on the Senator's campaign website forum;

Thanks to everybody committed to the 9/11 truth movement who have forwarded us films and literature concerning 9/11. We have taken [a] considerable amount of time to look into this issue, there is a lot of evidence to sift through. After careful consideration and much study, Senator Gravel agrees that an independent inquiry is indeed needed to get to the bottom of what happened on September 11, 2001.

Senator Gravel and his campaign, have now set a benchmark for the other Presidential candidates. The Kucinich campaign should take note that there is now another candidate on the record about new 9/11 investigations. Although Gravel doesn't have Committee powers like Kucinich does, Kucinich should be encouraged that making public statements on new 9/11 investigations is welcome, and wanted, and he should consider broadening his investigations.

Ron Paul should be encouraged to make a public statement supporting new investigations into the events of 9/11. He now has a new benchmark to meet.

If you make a contribution to Gravel because of these statements, let him know why.
