"a unique opportunity to see Al Gore" Portland! Tuesday! pls call CSPAN

[Viva_La_Revolution]

At least 3 DU'ers will be there! As ThomWV said "I am sure, absolutely certain, that after his experiences of this past week President Gore's speech tuesday will go a lot farther than Global Warming and offers the promise of being a very important statement to the American people by one of the finest men alive."

Please DU'ers - Contact CSPAN and get them to cover this! After what Gore has seen this week, and factoring in his blistering speeches after the last election, I expect he will be on fire!

This is a unique opportunity to see Al Gore present on an issue of vital local, national, and international importance.

Background:

Throughout his nearly twenty-five years in public service, former Vice President Al Gore has been an outspoken environmental advocate. His thoughts on a wide range of environmental issues, especially global warming, were outlined in his bestselling book "Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit." In Congress and the White House, he was the leader of a wide range of environmental initiatives.

Global warming is affecting the world we live in, including here in Oregon, where sea levels on the coast are rising and snowpack in the Cascades has declined by 50 percent. Vice President Gore is traveling the world delivering a compelling multimedia presentation on the global environmental crisis and issuing a ringing call to action.

On Tuesday September 6, 2005 at 6:30 pm, the former Vice President will be delivering his multimedia presentation on global warming and the environment at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.

The former Vice President's presentation on global warming and the environment will teach, enlighten, inform and entertain.

Doors to the ballroom (rooms 201 and 202) at the Oregon Convention Center, 777 NE Martin Luther Kind Blvd. in Portland, will open at 6:00 pm. Admission is free, and tickets are not required. Seating is limited.

DU is at Defcon3!ON A WEEKEND!

Will you help me keep this kicked? Wow. I would love to see the numbers for this week - Is it because all DU'ers are checking in constantly, or tons of new veiwers? I imagine it's both. :)

4. Thank You So Much For Reposting This

Along with the C-Span viewer suggestion link.

Al Gore has emerged as one of the finest speakers we have. Long gone is the stiff unemotional delivery, now replaced with a refreshingly direct, honest, open, and most important, rational discussion with his audience. If our next President is speaking I want to hear him.

11. I wish I could go! Even for a whopping admission, it would be worth it!

I'm up in British Columbia now. I have to teach tomorrow so there's no way I'd be able to make it back in time ... my course is on global environmental change, and I figure Al would understand if I don't want to "abandon my post" right now.

I hope the house is absolutely packed!
