Dear ,

A few weeks ago I read John and Teresa's book, This Moment on Earth. I found the stories within, about men and women fighting the great fight for our environment, to be a profound challenge to all of us. These activists provide valuable lessons on the power of people working for change. If we embrace their resourcefulness, determination and essential patriotism we will prevail in the fight to save our planet.

I was inspired by their work, and I know you will be too. You can purchase a copy of This Moment on Earth at your local bookstore or by clicking here:

http://www.amazon.com/This-Moment-Earth-Todays-Environmentalists/dp/1586484311/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-8922891-1113548?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1178641005&sr=8-1

The book comes at an important time, a vital moment on Earth.

Right now our nation is ready to cross the tipping point beyond which our leaders will be forced to take real action to solve the climate crisis. However, in order to cross that threshold it is going to take a sufficient expression of political will.

Most of our Representatives in Washington know there is no longer a debate about the fact that the climate crisis is real -- and they know the serious consequences our planet faces if we fail to act. Political will is a renewable resource, and enough already exists to start solving this crisis. We just have to communicate that forcefully to the political leaders of our country.

As John and Teresa's book demonstrates, the most powerful way to realize that change is through the activism of the American people.

That is why a few months ago I began building a movement at AlGore.com. Already we have grown to a community of more than 550,000. In order to ultimately succeed we will need to grow even bigger.

Today I want to invite you to join our movement to solve the climate crisis by visiting:

For many years, I have worked with John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry to fight for a solution to the climate crisis -- way before it was fashionable. Indeed, they were providing outstanding and courageous leadership on these vital questions when very few people in the world were even paying attention to these challenges. This commitment continues in their important new book.

I urge you to join me in working for change. And I urge you to read John and Teresa's wonderful new book for moving and inspiring illustrations of the potential power of Americans working for a better planet. Together, we can create a better tomorrow for our Earth if we seize this vital moment.

Thank you,

Al Gore

and all the Democrats who rally on behalf of the planet, the same planet the Republicans wipe their feet on.

I pray their efforts translate into substantive action when a Democrat takes the White House and we increase our dominance in Congress in 2008.

Gore/obama for me please!

if Al got the nomination and chose Kerry as his VP? I know it won't happen but it would go a long way to fix the last 6 years in my life.

We can dream...

The whole world would celebrate!

...what a kick. :)

Or I'd take either one as President...since they were already "elected, but not inaugurated." (Senator Kerry, are you listening?) :7

but wouldn't it be interesting if Kerry dropped out after a call from Gore suggesting this? It would a power ticket to slay the RW right now. A right jab from which they wouldn't recover.

Ok, back to planet earth with me. :)

I didn't mean years ago. I was just pointing out he had already dropped out.

My wild hair was this - Kerry dropped out in January as Gore told him that he (Gore) was getting in the race in September and suggested that he (Kerry) wait for an offer to be his VP. Convoluted and impossible - I know. But it's my little dream and I prefer it to most others...

:7

Now I understand what you were saying -- sorry for the confusion. I thought you were referring to something happening in the future, not the past. My bad.

Believe me, I have the same exact dream and I love your theory. I'm still holding onto hope for Gore, but unfortunately I doubt Kerry would be his running mate. It would be a long-held dream come true.

:hi:

:hi:

In fact, it would have been great had that been the ticket in 2000. They are both incredible statesman and men of intregrity.

I don't think either will run, but they have the experience and values that we need.
