It's now or never.


Dear Friends,

Three weeks ago we sent out an email to some of you asking that you help us fund an ad in the New York Times. We can never thank you enough for how you came through. Within a week we had the funds, and on October 10 our full-page ad made headlines around the world. Two days later Draft Gore was mentioned in every major story about Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Last Friday our website got an astounding 100,000 hits and our mailing list doubled.

Today we ask you to take a few super-urgent actions in the final weeks of this historic campaign. Please read, act, and forward this to all your friends today. It's now or never. The presidency of the United States is at stake.

Help us run a television ad



We never dreamt this would be within our reach. It is. We now have the funds to produce the ad - but not to run it. Your contribution will help us play it to key markets. http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001xOnTZozDKgMJcCXrwhev884WxWniaLVy-40sD3EN8ih8bUmMP9HhtZs74PvD0Bhd3u-ob-gda72LLWl9jG0wHK1HPzE7D_7DLCZG2hF8TCDouUbF_iVl1uLztfeZ7L2N">Click here to make a contribution.

Write a letter to Al Gore: Run Al Run!



Write a letter to Al Gore today and ask him to run. If you already did, write another one. We want him to receive hundreds of thousands of letters now as the momentum builds: The Office of the Honorable Al Gore, 2100 West End Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203.

Vote in crucial DFA poll



Democracy for America (DFA) is running a very important http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001xOnTZozDKgNuw54qul5F2_t73FajTQqDNr_qSxHHjpWEuxO8FI8Rdva0V9pbukdlBgJzi1b8o5PNFE3zIl7YFI-cpPU2-po-9LYqsyOl25MjiD-HnVcfKA66c53V3wjxywEdH4BVFiE=">online presidential poll.This influential group could make a formal endorsement provided a candidate gets a large enough majority. Al Gore is very popular with DFA members, and with your help, he can win. Gore's name is not included, but you can type it in. Just drag the icon for "Other" to the top and type Al Gore's name in the space provided. It only takes a few seconds. http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001xOnTZozDKgNuw54qul5F2_t73FajTQqDNr_qSxHHjpWEuxO8FI8Rdva0V9pbukdlBgJzi1b8o5PNFE3zIl7YFI-cpPU2-po-9LYqsyOl25MjiD-HnVcfKA66c53V3wjxywEdH4BVFiE=">Please vote.

San Francisco Bay Area: Attend Film Event



Those of you who happen to live in the San Francisco Bay Area: Please attend a very special showing of "An Inconvenient Truth" at the historic landmark Grand Lake Theater in Oakland on October 25. The theater will run the Oscar-winning film all day (12:00, 2:30, 5:00, 7:35, and 10:00), with all proceeds going to Draft Gore. Be part of this very special fundraiser and meet other Gore supporters in the Bay Area.
It's been a long road, but now we have only a few crucial weeks left in which to reach critical mass with our movement. With the momentum we have, it can happen. But time is running out, so join us today!

Thank you,

Monica Friedlander

26. Your prior vote is NOT YET FINAL
If you go back and re-vote your first, second, and third choice, ONLY your most recent vote will count. Anything you previously voted then is not counted.

So, you can change it if you want to, as many times as you want to, up until the deadline date.

8. # 10 and just donated another $ 100.00 ....
... it is up to us to make this happen because that is what people-powered politics is all about.

If we want to end corporatists rule in America we begin by drafting our candidate and working with that leader to effect the vast change in policy, attitude and actions required for humanity to establish a nurturing and lasting relationship with itself and with its only home, earth.


Peace.

33. Why is it NOW or NEVER?
The election is over a year away? I want Al to run, but I think this is a bit hyperbolic...

34. Opportunistic is more like it
Using his movie and his Nobel Peace Prize to collect money. The same people he turned down in 2004. Still harrassing him.

37. However, he told them in 2002 he wasn't interested in 2004. This time, not so much.
He has done no such thing this time or are you still clinging to the lie you kept telling?

35. I just stole that from the email. Quite frankly it ain't over in my opinion until after the
convention. If Gore doesn't announce, he could still get the nomination if the convention if brokered and enough uncommitted delegates drop his name and the others join.
