Gore Urges Blacks to Vote at Fla. Rally
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 2:24 p.m. ET

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Former Vice President Al Gore on Sunday told blacks embittered by his narrow loss in the 2000 presidential election that ``it doesn't have to be this way'' and urged them to turn anger into energy at the polls.

``Don't turn it into angry acts or angry words,'' Gore said at one stop during a tour of mostly black churches. He also urged worshippers to take advantage of a state law that permits voting before Election Day, Nov. 2.

``Early voting is a good idea,'' he said. ``You want to give them plenty of time to count all the votes.''

3. We must all turn our anger into energy.
And we cannot stop after 11/2/04.
Kerry winning is just the first step toward making this the great country it can be.
