a message from Al Gore
As you know, this Friday, the Democratic Party is facing another critical fundraising deadline. I know from experience the importance of this deadline because it is when strategists need to make key decisions about battleground states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, and about all our key races.

https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html

In 2000, my campaign had to make excruciatingly difficult decisions on allocating our resources to the most winnable states. We knew the final margin would be razor thin, but we had to pick and choose which states we could afford to saturate with TV ads during the final drive to Election Day.

We were forced by the limitations of our campaign funding to make a series of tough choices -- including a decision to go for it in Florida and scale back in Ohio. If we had been able to pay for a full TV ad campaign in all of the key battleground states, we might not have lost Ohio by a thin margin. And of course, even though I think we won Florida, well, you know what happened there.

So don't let this happen again -- contribute now.

https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html

In these closing weeks, let's make sure that the Democratic Party has the resources to go all out for John Kerry and the Democratic ticket in Florida and Ohio and Pennsylvania and Michigan and elsewhere. Your contribution right now will make sure the Party has the ability to compete in every single battleground state.

Right now, party strategists are making those tough, last-minute decisions about where to spend resources. With your help, this time the Supreme Court will not pick the next president, and the current president will not pick the next Supreme Court.

https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html

You've put George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Republican attack machine on the run. In these final weeks, they can't win a fair fight -- and you, the members of the Democratic Party's amazing online community, have the ability to make it a fair fight. Please respond as quickly as you can.

Then on November 2, we'll be celebrating our victories up and down the ballot in Ohio and Florida and other battleground states across the nation -- and not only in the popular vote, but in the electoral college too.

On to victory,
Al Gore

7. These 18 days will determine the history of the world.
Anything that can be done, needs to be done. Give some money. It's either 18 days of Bush or 4 years and 18 days of him. Democrats need all the help we can get, especially considering all the free advertisement that Bushbots get from most of "mainstream TV and newspapers" and the vast majority of radio.

Personally, with all the power that they control, I'm sort of surpised that we're doing as well as we are, but then again Repugs have screwed up so much in doing so have pissed off ALOT of Americans.

3. With all due respect to Al
I'm getting literally fifty messages a day asking me for money. I volunteer 20 hours a week or so, in addition to my normal life, so I've just kind of tuned out a lot of the politically-related email I'm getting.

12. I love Al!
If our truly elected president was in power right now, like he should be, we'd have none of these problems right now. Al would be a wonderful leader. :)

Al, we love you!!! :loveya:
