Al Gore will be giving a speech in DC. It's MLK day and most people
have it off. Sounds like a good chance for a history lesson for kids
and adults. Visit the Lincoln Memorial to see how freedom evolved and
then listen to a speech how it's being taken away every day.
Al Gore is giving an important speech on Monday in D.C. and you're
invited. Bob Barr is introducing him (yes, that Bob Barr—the former
Clinton impeachment manager). What brought this odd couple together?
On December 17, the president admitted to authorizing a broad program
of repeated NSA wiretapping of American citizens, without warrants, in
defiance of safeguards mandated by Congress.1 This assertion of
executive power threatens to place unchecked power in the president,
ignoring our constitutional system and threatening our most basic
civil liberties.
We believe, like many across the political spectrum, that if America
doesn't respond, our constitutional system may be damaged beyond
repair. In response, we've joined a broad coalition of progressive and
conservative organizations, called the Liberty Coalition, that are
committed to defending the core principles of American democracy.
The Liberty Coalition and the American Constitution Society are
cosponsoring a speech this coming Monday by former Vice President Gore
at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC about the dangers of
unchecked executive power and why it's important for Americans to
respond. As part of the Liberty Coalition, MoveOn members are invited.
