A message from Al Gore

[kentuck]

Dear Ken,

In every election I've ever been part of, the last four days have been
decisive. What you do this weekend could mean the difference between
victory and defeat.

MoveOn has put together an outstanding program--bringing together tens of
thousands of volunteers with cutting edge technology to get Democrats who
might not otherwise vote to the polls. You can join the effort from
anywhere--all you need is a phone and a computer.

This morning, I joined the team and made some calls. It was easy. I'm
writing to personally ask you to join the team too. Can you make some
calls this weekend? Sign up to join a group of callers in your area right
here:

I know it's easy to feel like your calls will be drops in a political
ocean. I'm here to tell you that they're not. I know a thing or two about
close races where a few hundred "drops" make all the difference. And the
margins in many of these races are even closer. You could personally turn
out the voter who tips the balance.

Why should you pick up the phone?

Do it because the ice is melting in the Arctic, in Greenland and all over
the world, and unless we take on the climate crisis soon, we could cross a
point of no return.

Do it because the war in Iraq is a disaster, and our brave men and women
who are fighting and dying there need an honorable and speedy path home.

Do it because in the wealthiest nation in the world, there are millions of
kids who can't go the doctor when they get sick because they don't have
health care.

Do it because President Bush and this Congress have chipped away at our
fundamental rights--rights guaranteed every citizen--that make our country
a beacon of freedom. Do it because our government shouldn't be able to
wire-tap innocent citizens without a warrant.

Do it because of Abu Ghraib. Do it to tell the world that America won't
sanction torture--and we fire the politicians who do. That's the real
no-brainer.

Do it because five years after September 11th, President Bush and the
Republican Congress have made us all less safe.

But most of all, do it because the country we all love needs our help. Our
democracy is in trouble. America needs you. And in these next four days,
you can come to her aid.

This election represents our greatest opportunity in decades to tilt our
nation toward a progressive future. Making some calls to infrequent voters
only takes an hour or two. But if thousands of us do this together, we can
make history.

Now's our time. Please join me. Sign up at:

And thank you--from my heart--for all you've done, and all you're about to
do.

Sincerely,

--Al Gore.
