Al Gore is Looking for a Million People
From his new site-

http://www.algore.com/


I've been incredibly gratified by the response to An Inconvenient Truth. I'm extremely proud of all the work the team put into the film and it feels like it came at a crucial time. But now comes the hard work. We have to take this message to Washington. And we can't do it without you.

Yes, the new majority in Congress will be much more receptive on the importance of global warming. That's the good news. But I know from personal experience that the only thing that will make Washington really take notice and do more than give lip service to the problem of global warming is the prospect of millions of committed citizens taking action. It's time to join together and make that happen. Can you help?

First, I'm asking folks to hold house parties, in thousands of homes across the nation, to show the film and spread the word. We're doing the first wave on Saturday, December 16. Can you host a party? Or attend a party that one of your neighbors is hosting?

Second, I'm asking everybody, whether you attend a party or not, to sign a postcard to your representatives, so that I can take a million postcards and messages to Washington in January and present them to the new Congress.

We have to build the political will to do what has to be done. Luckily, in America, political will is a renewable resource.

Thank you,

-Al Gore

Sign a note to your representatives, so that Al can take our messages to Washington next year and present them to the new Congress. It only takes a minute to add your voice. Just click here.

Help me send a message to Congress:
Now is the time to act on global warming.
I know from personal experience that the only thing that will make Washington really take notice and do something to solve the climate crisis is the prospect of millions of committed citizens taking action. It's time to join together and make that happen.

Sign the postcard to your representative demanding real action on global warming below and I’ll personally deliver it to Washington next year. I’ll keep you up to date on how things are going in Washington by email.


A poster on MyDD writes that "the website is registered to Roy Neel, Gore's chief of staff in the WH and Howard Dean's campaign manager (for the last few weeks)."

13. LOL I don't know, but...
a million names makes a decent sized database for the launch of any potential candidacy. I'm giddy :D

-not that this needs to be anything but what it is -the need for legislation is powerful. just sayin'.

17. So will people sign this...
Edited on Fri Dec-08-06 06:32 PM by RestoreGore
Because they really care about legislation, or just because they think he is only going to use the information gathered for a political run? To think this could only be a way to deceive people to get information is absolutely unfathomable to me. I am also sending a letter to Barbara Boxer on this getting more specific than the message on the site about what we need to see... however, let's face it, Bush still has veto power. That's why I think we should also send the same messages to our state legislatures which may be more instrumental in passing legislation on the state and local level as well. The more states that come on line with Kyoto, the more pressure put on Congress.

49. It is being shown at a church
and the following Monday it is being shown in a public library. I don't think they'll be serving wine. The last DFHA event (GOTV rally for Kansas and Missouri) I went to was held at a coffee house - not a drop of alcohol around. We take our politics seriously. And, after the party, we'll do what we always do here in Kansas, we'll keep working to make the planet a better place for future generations. Don't worry, we know the difference between enjoying each other's company and getting to work.

fyi, me, proud, kiteinthewind and several other DU'ers helped get Nancy Boyda elected here in Kansas. She beat a five-time Republican incumbent. One of the reasons I supported her was because one of her biggest concerns is global warming. She made it a part of her campaign.

And no, I will never get over that. Seems you can only get people to do something when there is a "party" involved.

I know my Represnetative, Janice Schakowsky and my Senators, Durbin and Obama, are very much receptive to addressing global warming in the next Congress. Nevertheless, it is imperative that we make our voices heard.
