How to Make Al Gore President
How to Make Al Gore President

To all who care about our country and our planet:

On October 10, 2007, Al Gore’s former Chief of Staff in the White House said of a possible Gore candidacy, “He’s not ruled it out in the future.” When asked by a reporter what “the future” meant, Neel said, “Sometime later than today.” <http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hZz3lpn7C9NjjE3JdFBuLzSKFS-gD8S6JTAO0>

We can change the course of the future by working together now to get Al Gore to run.

What to do:

1) Sign the petition to draft Al Gore
2) Participate in the “My Two Cents” campaign
3) Write letters to the editor of your local newspapers
4) Join an existing Gore group or form a new one
5) Send this e-mail to at least five people.

How to do it:

1) To sign the petition, go to http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/algore2008/
2) To participate in the “My Two Cents” campaign, send a letter to Al Gore telling him why you want him to run, and tape two pennies to your letter. Explain that you’ll send real support when he becomes a candidate. Send as many letters as you can to:
Office of the Honorable Al Gore
2100 West End Avenue, Suite 620
Nashville, TN 37203
3) Write a letter to the editor of at least one local newspaper explaining why Al Gore should run for president (i.e., leadership on global warming, right on Iraq from the beginning, world-wide respect, etc.). Make the letter heartfelt.
4) Join a Gore group in your area or form one if there isn’t already one. Go to http://www.algore.org/get_involved/gore_groups, enter your zip code, and see if there’s a group near you. If there is no group in your area, consider starting one of your own by following the directions. If you have problems joining or forming a group, contact Karen Wunderman at krw@superlink.net.
5) Send this e-mail to at least five people on your e-mail list. Also consider printing out hard copies of this letter and distributing them wherever appropriate.

Thank you on behalf of future generations and our planet.

Sincerely,

Steve Robinson Campaign Director, AlGore.org
Jim Tate Field Director, AlGore.org
Karen Wunderman Chief of Staff, AlGore.org

3. One more suggestion
Call and write your local Democratic party state chairman and urge them to support the draft effort.

6. We can
and if Gore feels he has enough support to win, I suspect he'll do it.

7. I believe very strongly he will listen to us.
We just have to believe in ourselves... and ignore the corporate media, if not laugh very loudly at it. :)

9. He himself said we should take to the streets
Edited on Fri Oct-12-07 05:47 PM by Mabus
I know he was talking about protesting coal plants but if he were president he would have a say in coal plants and the future of the world's energy sources.

We should take to the streets and let Gore know that he is the choice of the people, not the media and the usual puppeteers.

10. Thom Hartmann said that Gore should ask any one of the candidates,
except Gravel, to be his vice president, and then announce his candidacy as a package. :popcorn:

14. Wow, even on a day he should be allowed to enjoy receiving this award
You can think of nothing but selling your "product." What positions are you people sucking up for? Total self aggrandizement. Oh, and I didn't notice a congratulations to Mr. Gore anywhere in there...
