Gore Displays a Midas Touch (sets DCCC record with fundraising email)

Former vice president Al Gore sent an e-mail to Democratic donors recently to "commemorate" the final 1,000 days of the Bush administration.

The goal of the appeal was to collect $150,000 for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee -- or $10,000 for each of the 15 seats the party needs to regain the House majority in November. Aides at the committee said the e-mail -- the first Gore had done on behalf of House Democrats this cycle -- brought in more than $200,000.

"He is the most successful signature on an e-mail that we have ever had," said DCCC Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.). Emanuel added that Gore, who many think still has presidential ambitions, has agreed to campaign for House candidates this fall as long as they favor measures to curtail global warming, long his pet issue.

Pledge to see Al Gore's global warming documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth", on opening weekend:

"I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennesseeeeee." :loveya:
Future President elected and inaugurated!! You mark my words! :-)

What we can contribute in time and money and effort now also helps build for 08.

Gore sounds like a pretty good fundraiser.

I still really believe in and would support 100% if he ran again for president.

but if Gore is our nominee, he's got my time, my money, and my vote.

I want Tipper for First Lady! :) Most of all, I want the adults back in charge!

I have bookmarked this site and will send them 50.00 tomorrow.

Please God the Dems will come back to power in November.

...and so do I!:thumbsup:

before. A lot of people admire and respect him.

when reading that letter....

Some DUers have refused to contribute to the party. I'm glad Al Gore can break through that mind set.

even more so now than during his run in 2000.

Has been since 2000. I wonder what theme Tipper will use to decorate the White House in 2009...
