Al Gore belongs in Jail!

Al Gore is a hero.

No one could be a more deserving winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Global warming is the most urgent issue of our time.

That's probably why Al Gore "can't understand why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants."

But why only young people?
And why wait till bulldozers are already on the ground?

Sign the petition and ask Al Gore to get arrested with RAN executive director Michael Brune on our coal day of action November 16 targeting the banks responsible for funding coal expansion.

What could make a bigger statement than Nobel Peace Prize-winner Al Gore following the grand tradition of Martin Luther King and Gandhi and using civil disobedience to help create a clean energy future?

Winning the Nobel Peace Prize is an amazing accomplishment. We are all impressed and inspired. Now let's hope that Al Gore will take his own advice and join us as we take a stand for the future.

Sign the petition now!

If Gore Were Arrested...
Mark Hertsgaard


Fresh from winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his climate change evangelism, Al Gore is apparently considering an invitation from a prominent environmental group to engage in civil disobedience against the construction of new coal-fired power plants.

Rainforest Action Network issued the invitation to the former Vice President, according to RAN executive director Michael Brune. The San Francisco-based group has a twenty-year history of protesting against destructive logging practices and other causes of climate change; it specializes in targeting corporations as much as governments.

"We came across a quote from Gore in an interview with columnist Nicholas Kristof back in August, saying he didn't understand, quote, 'Why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers and preventing them constructing new coal-fired power plants,'" said Brune. "We thought, 'Great idea!' That's the kind of activism we do at RAN. So we decided to invite Gore to join us."

And worth a lot of thought. However, I believe most of us are just trying to geet him to do something else we consider real important!

Of course he wouldn't be the first president with an arrest record!;-)


peace~

And I did sign, but am rethinking a tad too late...
Impulsive am I.
FitzmasAgain made the point that we need him elsewhere...
When is it time to give up on the dream of President Gore again?
I wish I could wish him to do it....
He has the integrity and will to do anything...
We're all behind him...
I just want him to be where he needs to be....



peace~
