Hi Folks,

If you can lend a click or two, I could use a recommend to get this UP!

Ban calls climate change 'defining challenge of our age'

By Elisabeth Rosenthal

Published: November 17, 2007

"Today the world's scientists have spoken, clearly and in one voice," Ban said as he released the final report of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. "In Bali I expect the world's policymakers to do the same.

Since we seem to have ended our NY effort to get Gore on our primary ballot (and don't get me started on how that all came about), an idea from an Aussie (posted on www.democraticunderground.com) is to cast your primary ballot for Obama in the hopes that a deadlocked convention would turn to a Gore/Obama ticket as a compromise and a way to go forward. That has always been my dream ticket; and, if the convention is deadlocked and the Gore and Obama people are talking, this could swing all the Obama delegates (and hopefully others) to Gore and we’d be on our way.

Al Gore did not enter the New Hampshire primary, so his name won't be printed on the ballot.
But, Al Gore can still be the Democratic Party nominee.

How?

A group of dedicated Gore supporters in New Hampshire are organizing a grass roots campaign to encourage Democratic and Independent primary voters to write in G-O-R-E on the ballot.

The New Hampshire primary has a reputation for ending the campaigns of many front runners. The Clintons are not inevitable or invincible. Both can be beaten with a large pro-Gore voter turnout in New Hampshire.

All the Virginia volunteers working to draft Gore were so disappointed that we could not put Al Gore's name on the Virginia Democratic primary ballot.

Al Gore has been correct about the issues long before the other candidates try to play catch up. From Social Security and the tax cut causing deficit and the need for Universal Health Care, to being the first person to speak out against the Invasion in to Iraq and being one of the first to speak out on the trampling of our rights and the overreaching powers.

Al Gore is asking to rebuild our democracy and for citizenry activism to bring about the change we need to make.

Join the Draft Al Gore movement to take our country back and solve the many crisis we face.

Do we want to take our country back? Do we want to start a new chapter in our country and planet's history? Do we want to change politics and solve the crisis' we are facing?

Some highlights of questions and his answers.

I'm anxious that Dennis Kucinich is creeping up on Gore in the DFA pulse poll. What had been a decisive lead has dwindled to less than two percentage points, and counting.

I've posted a diary about Kucinich on both DFA and DailyKos, to try to take some of the steam from his engine. Please read and recommend:

Hurray--we finally managed to get the 10 minute documentary of our efforts to put Al Gore on the MA ballot posted on Current TV! It has live footage of Paul Kaplan singing "Run Al Run" and it shows much about the whole grassroots process we have all been engaged in. In addition it speaks to how Gore has inspired so many and why he is the right and only candidate. Please view, rate, and recommend!

Well, today is a first for me. To see on DFA a promoted diary filled with lies, smears and slander. One can only hope that a large group of Kucinich supporters rallied to this site, of which they apparently are now members, to write and recommend this hit piece and move it front page to help (?) their apparent presidential hopeful, Dennis Kucinich. http://www.blogforamerica.com/view/22709#comments

I don't know if you all had the opportunity to see this very powerful video or not, but it came by way of a current.com posting of comments on Mr. Gore's video's last week.

This is just one of the most incrediblel video's I've seen. And one of the best messaging tools, besides Mr. Gore's own words, of course.

DFA is a progressive organization of activists working to steer the Democratic Party toward progressive values by supporting candidates in primary and general elections, and they are running a poll of their membership to determine who their people are supporting. They have included a write-in option for Al Gore, and presently with fifty thousand DFAers having voteed he is winning the poll! See results here:

Hey guys, it's been a while but I wanted to get in touch with you hot on the heels of Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his tireless efforts on Global Warming. This is a good time to go after the naysayers who continue to stuff their heads in the sand about the issue of Global Climate Change. One GREAT place to do that is the JConline.com forum board. Here is a link to a post that you should all read carefully as one example of the kind of attacks the "other side' is launching against Al Gore.

Hey Friends,

I wanted to drop you a short note to ask for your help. DFA is holding a Presidential Primary Pulse Poll to decide which candidate deserves their support. I voted for Al Gore and I need more votes to move him up a place in the poll.

Could you take just a minute to add your write in vote for Al Gore right now? Here's the link:

Thanks for your help.

I'd like to take this opportunity to lay out some of my reasons why I think Gore is the best candidate for president. He has touched on 3 of these in his recent clips on current.com, but I'll add my own perspective as to why these are important to me. But, first and foremost, Gore would be a significant environmental spokeman for the globe if he were the President. He would put the US back in a leadership role for, not only the climate issue, but a wide range of critical environmental issues that affect not only us but the rest of the globe.

REVEALED.Fuel & Mining Man Behind Gore Film Attack In UK

British Government released the movie, An Inconvenient Truth, to be shown in schools.

One man, Mr. Dimmock, a school Governor, challenged that in court, making of course, outrageous claims of the movie.

Last night I was listening to Air America's off hour show, Clout, and Greg Palast was guest host again. They have been bringing on the various candidates to talk about why they want be President. They are given a time slot and they bring on whomever they wish will represent them well. This week was the Edwards team.

The poll had been hovering around 82 pct, but as it stays up and other candidates hit it hard, it's now at 79 pct for Al Gore to run. Obviously a fantastic number for a political blog, but we don't need to cede any ground we don't have to.

Article by Robert Parry

So let me see if I’ve got this right: Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner for the presidential nomination, is demanding that George W. Bush take a more belligerent posture toward Iran.

In her view – and that of 75 other members of the U.S. Senate – President Bush hasn’t been aggressive or hasty enough in designating a large part of the Iranian military, the Revolutionary Guards, as an international terrorist organization.

Hey Gang,

For those of you who have not seen it, draftgore.com has a new website. There is a place to go in and post your group/chapter for your state and then people who come to the site can access that information. There is also a form for people to fill out to volunteer. For MA we have posted are 3 regionally chapters, along with recent newspaper articles and press releases. These include links to our site mass4gore.com

I think it is worth putting our info up here, it may send us more volunteers. Check it out!

Hi All:

I wonder who Bush and his cronies want to be the Democratic nominee?

LOL

WASHINGTON - President Bush, breaking his rule not to talk about presidential politics, says he believes Hillary Rodham Clinton will defeat Barack Obama in the Democratic presidential primaries.

Bush also predicts that Clinton will be defeated in the general election by the Republican nominee.

"I believe our candidate can beat her but it's going to be a tough race," the president said.

Hi All:

The initiative to collect signatures to get Al Gore on the ballot needs your help. If you live in or near Boston, we will be collecting signatures on September 25th, 2007 in Boston and Somerville during their Preliminary elections. If you are available any time that day, please contact myself or Lesley Phillips as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Respectfully Submitted,

As many of you know we have been working to develop a Rally & Concert to persuade Al Gore to run for the presidency. We have performers lined up with good local name recognition and among others we expect Paul Kaplan to participate with his RUN AL RUN song. We will finance the concert from ticket sales and personal contributions. Contributions have started to flow in but we need more. No matter the size of the amount every contribution is vital. With lots of small contributions it's easier to raise funds from the larger donors.

Statewide draft campaign for Gore begins Sept. 18

A new statewide grassroots political organization will launch a petition drive September 18 seeking to make Massachusetts the first state to place former Vice President Al Gore on a Democratic presidential primary ballot.

The Netroots For Gore GoogleGroup is planning to get everybody to create online content for Gore tomorrow, Thursday, September 13th. If you have a blog, post a message there about him tomorrow. If you take part in someone else's blog, post a message there. The goal is to create a massive swell of online buzz about Gore, to force attention.

Take a look at this post from the GoogleGroup:

http://groups.google.com/group/netrootsforgore/browse_thread/thread/faf9...

This is a big phat reminder that Thursday, Sept 13th is 'Blog for Gore

Former Vice President Al Gore is packing up his Powerpoint slides and taking 'em on the road—and he's coming to Austin on October 1st.

Much like he did in the 2006 Academy Award-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, Gore will be here to discuss today's pressing environmental issues and their impact on our world.

Tickets go on sale next Saturday, September 8th at 10 a.m.

Hi Everyone,

On Sunday September 16 Tom Harkin will be holding his Annual Steak fry. We are in the process of renting a table where we will have RUN AL RUN materials. Six of the candidates are planning to attend. This will be a big event for Iowa and gives the Al Gore group a plan to be very visibile. Naturally we want our table to be staffed by a large group as well as have as many people as possible roaming the event wearing Al Gore buttons and carrying sign up sheets.

Full information about the event and tickets can be ordered at : www.tomharkin.com

What is our ideal president going to do? Will "My President Will Be, Solving the Climiate Crisis"? Will My President Will Be, demaanding a Single Payer Health Care", maybe he will "Be the Voice of Reason" or "Repair our Constitutional Crisis".

Maybe it is as simple as "My President Will Be, Al Gore"!

Please, read below and participate in Russ Feingold's latest effort.

The fashionable charge for the right to make against, well anyone from the left, is hypocrisy. Gore's house isn't quite as green as it could be - he is a hypocrite, John Edwards is rich, he is a hypocrite as just two examples.

Organizers plan to qualify Al Gore for California presidential primary ballot.

SACRAMENTO, CA (MarketWire) August 10, 2007 – Organizers of a new statewide campaign to put Al Gore’s name on the California presidential primary ballot announced today the formation of California Draft Gore, a grassroots political action committee made up of hundreds of Gore volunteers who live throughout the state of California.

It's time for Gore to declare.

Here in Chicago we just hosted a union debate at Soldier Field, and during breaks the campaigns had their volunteers collecting signatures for nominating petitions for the primary.

That's right, with Illinois holding its primary on February 5th, as of this week the campaigns can now begin collecting signatures to appear on the ballot.

We really can't wait anymore. The time to collect signatures for a "please run" advisory petition is over; we need signatures on real petitions now.

If you have not done so please visit MSNBC and take the time for vote on a number of issues. One of which is who should enter the 08 race. Al is a choice.

Interesting news from the latest ABC news poll in Iowa,

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3441459&page=1

Essentially they have the Iowa caucus, at this point, statistically as a 3 way tie, between the 3 front runners, Clinton, Obama and Edwards (Obama is at 27% the others 26%). Bill Richardson also scoring well at 11%, all the others in low single digits.

I belong to several singing groups. In the quest for "new music" a friend gave me a 4 CD's with the music of WWII. Songs like "Remember Pearl Harbor" "Arms for America" "The Man Behind the Man Behind the Gun" and other great inspirational songs of wartime.

The music, and the spirit of unity in the country was unmatched. We were fighting the biggest and most important global war ever...to date.

Americans had to Sacrifice, Support, Work, and band together. The President United the country against the common enemy, the Evil Axis of Facism.

I just had to share this one!

I don't know what poll this is, and it seems small, but...HIT IT IF YOU CAN!!!!

Hello -

During the Great Depression, FDR put millions of people back to work rebuilding the USA's infrastructure. Highways, bridges, dams, railroads all were built with great public works projects like the NRA and the CCC. Its high time that many of these projects, (especially some of the outdated levee systems) were fixed.

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to make you aware of two new sites regarding Al Gore. The first is a blog called bloggers for Gore, I have been getting their postings for a few days now and it seems quite good. The goal is for them to have 1000 members. The focus appears to be to build support for Gore and a Gore candidacy. Here is the link if you wish to join or check it out: http://groups.google.com/group/bloggersforgore?hl=en

I think Al Gore would be a very exceptional President. He does not want to be President. He has far more freedom of expression doing what he's doing. His family has less pressure, and more freedom. In the role he has chosen, he can influence events no matter who is President. We need a Democrat in office. If all the people supporting Gore, don't vote for a candidate that wants to be President, and has a realistic chance of being elected, we will end up with another Republican administration. We cannot have that.
