[huckleberry]

Dear MoveOn Member,

You are invited to attend an important speech by Former Vice President Al Gore on Sunday, November 9 at 2pm at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. This free event is initially open only to members of MoveOn, the American Constitution Society and friends.

In this, his third major speech on the Administration’s response to terrorism, Mr. Gore will describe the Administration’s assault on our civil liberties as un-American and will charge that the Bush/Ashcroft attack on the Constitution is actually a smokescreen that obscures the Administration’s fundamental failure to meaningfully protect our national security, and that their efforts have weakened rather than strengthened America.

In August, Mr. Gore delivered a speech sponsored by MoveOn that opened a space for other leaders to speak out against the Bush Administration's deliberate use of false impressions to mislead the nation on war, taxes, the economy and the environment. That speech did nothing less than shift the terms of the national debate, and we expect this speech to have as big an impact.

As a MoveOn member in the Washington DC area, we wanted to give you first dibs on seats for this free event. Tickets are first come, first served, and we expect them to go fast: you can reserve slots for yourself and guests by clicking here:
