An open letter to Al Gore

[n2doc]

Dear Al Gore,

Americans want you to run and we can be sooo annoying at times, I know. But I doubt any of us will shut up anytime soon - you know how we can be.

The Blue States are yours already, the Purple States are yours too because they look back at what could have been if things had gone differently in 00, that and they feel bad - they feel you need your chance to pull us out of the Hell-hole we are currently in. The Red States (what there is left of them) are a toss up. Nothing you can do about the blind political rage they have.

I know another run for the Presidency may not seem like a fun thing to do right now and in a strange sort of way WINNING the election will totally suck. It will be on your shoulders to fix the multi-layer putrid mess we are in. You know what to do, global warming-wise, but it will also be up to you to fix our debacle in Iraq and what ever mess Bush starts in Iran. Oh and there is that open sore called Afghanistan we should put some compute cycles into.

And did you know the economy is a wreck? Remember that high-falutin’ job I had under Clinton / Gore? It went extinct in 2001. The dollar also is lower than a Dick Cheney Dirty Trick™.

So I know you would rather not get sucked into the slime pit known as politics, but we need you.

Few men in American history have been called by a nation for the singular purpose of becoming President. Our founding fathers loved to hide out on their farms and wait for the worst of the hand-wringing to pass when it was their turn to sit and helm the nation that is America. Well, they didn’t live in a world that included the Internet, blogs and mass email campaigns. So no matter how far out in the woods your farm may be, I am sure the Internet is available.

Few have been called and you should be warned we will keep dialing.

Voting continues thru November 5th. Al pulled to the front last weekend as a write-in candidate and has led the pack ever since. If you haven't voted yet, be sure and get over there. I'm hoping this sends the message to him loud and clear:

RUN, AL, RUN!

17. Kucinich is challenging

Kucinich voters are making a strong run and have significantly eroded Gore's lead. (Note: I like Kucinich, and would strongly consider him had I not been a 30-year Gorephile.)

Please encourage anyone who has not voted in the DFA poll to write in Al Gore!

7. Gore/Richardson '08. That's the ticket.

Kinda doubt at this point that he'll run, but a girl can dream...

12. AMEN!

I really, really, REALLY hope he decides to run. It is far from too late. We need you, Mr. Gore!

[Duncan]

13. He can't run.

I want Al Gore to run, but in the Tsunami of corpro-fascist power grabs, Bushist propaganda, and spineless capitulation that I have seen since 2000, after having my hopes for accountability dashed repeatedly, I just no longer believe Gore will do it, simply because it would be very good news for humanity, and very good news for humanity just does not happen any more. Al, Please prove me wrong.

20. Al, Please let us know your intentions soon so we can back an existing

candidate if you do not wish to run. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want you to run, but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen, unless your target is a deadlocked convention in June. But please don't go this route, because you (or rather we) lock up a lot of availalbe resources for 2nd best candidates.

I would assume that said "existing" candidate would NOT be Hillary, which might make it easier to make that decision,

21. Al Gore was in Paris today

He was the special guest of President Sarkozy at the announcing of the French government's ambitious drive to mainstream environmental sustainability into all public policies, with targets to promote renewable energy and a carbon tax to reduce CO2 emissions.

Al even made a speech (in English) saying how the whole world needs to adopt the same approach.

I must say that Al is not behaving like someone who is about to jump in to the 2008 race.

But I absolutely agree he would be the best person for the job.

IN GORE WE TRUST :patriot:

22. Yes, just dialing.

Translation: You do the work, Al. You deal with the crap again. You deal with the mess made. And then when you call on us to stand with you, to take initiatives to action, to stand with you at the barricades for this planet, there will be silence.

23. town called dobson has made some awesome 'toons.

and now an awesome letter to The Man.

[disndat]

25. Without Al Gore

at the helm, I don't see how any of the peace and environmental issues he advocates so passionately ever happening any time soon. To quote Gore, "if you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others. We need to go quickly. We need to go far." RUN, AL, RUN!

26. one ringy dingy.....

Yep, we will not stop calling.
