I have the pleasure of being able to claim him first as my Representative to the U.S. House, then my Senator, then my Vice President. He was elected to be my/our President, too, but it was stolen from him.
Back in the 70s, I lived in a rural area in Tennessee. There were plans to create a county dump on a ridgetop where it would have polluted our streams as well as the springs and wells where many of us got our drinking water. We were a small group but we called a meeting to discuss this and invited Al Gore to attend. We did not really expect that he would come, but he did. He listened to us, he asked questions, and assured us he would do all he could to help us. A few weeks later the dump project had found a new home in a much better suited place. We never knew for sure what he did, just that he kept his word to us. I have admired him ever since.
