To get out Al's speech..., my idea

[johnaries]

If someone (liveoaktx?) can put together a 30 - 60 second montage of highlights of the speech with some inspirational music (America the Beautiful or Battle Hymn of the Republic, or maybe Green Day) - something to grab people's short attention quickly, and then email it with a link to Gore's entire speech. Then email the video montage and link to everyone you know, including Repugs.

The speech had a lot of powerful moments - this could be a very powerful, moving video.

Draft Al Gore '08!

1. I volunteer liveoaktx too!

:patriot:

2. that's a great idea... I'm alternating between elation at the speech...

and despair that so few people will see it. I'm not sure what kind of music would be right for it *thinking*

[Armstead]

3. I agree -- but forget the music

Words should speak for themselves.

10. I say go ultra-patriotic. Patriotic music in the background,

wave a flag during the segues between highlights, etc. Show the Repugs that we are the TRUE Patriots and that we want to protect the Constitution.

4. we can also burn it on cd

and blare it out to the masses when they shop at wall mart. I think that there listening to too much toby keith any way.

7. There's a good idea!

Ooops. meant this as a reply to the OP.

can you delete your own messages?

[johnaries]

14. Oh, yeah - enough for 2 or 3 montages.

And why not 2 or 3? Send out 3 emails!

[GOTV]

8. This is a good idea!

9. I'm making a list of folks who need a copy

already. We must get out the word and not rely on MSM, any more than the freedom fighters relied on the press during the time of the USSR.

[dweller]

12. add me!

i want the whole thing on cd, video, audio, text. I can burn copies and send them around to others who will burn and continue sending.

16. Hubby has the file

and is making me as many copies as I want. He's also reading the text of the speech. We'll probably copy it out as well.

11. Send links to the speech transcript to your friends

and we should make up bumper stickers with some of the best quotes.

"We the People collectively are still the key to the survival of America's democracy."

"A healthy balance of power must be restored."

"In the absence of rigorous checks and balances, incompetency flourishes, dishonesty is encouraged and rewarded."

[Yoda Yada]

13. And didn't Gore quote Bob Barr...

by saying that Barr said, "The President has DARED the American people to do something about it." (I'd USE THAT QUOTE for when the Republicans say it was a partisan speech)

By the way...what happened to Barr?....he was supposed to introduce Al Gore.
