New Draft Gore Petition

[sabra]

Dear Vice President Gore:

Americans from every corner of our nation are calling on you. Please listen to our plea and run for the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States in 2008.

Never before has America needed a leader of your stature, vision and experience more than now. The next presidential election will be the most crucial one in our history, and you are the only Democrat who can unite the country and lead us to victory. And this country -- indeed, the entire world -- cannot afford anything less.

Our nation and the planet itself are entering “a period of conse-quences,” as you so well stated in “An Inconvenient Truth,” but in more ways than one. We are ruled by a government of the powerful and for the powerful -- a government that tramples our Constitution, wages unjust war in our name, sacrifices our economic future, and puts our very planet on the endangered species list.

America and the world need you now more than ever. Be our candidate. Run for president. And we pledge that we'll be there for you every day until the last vote is counted.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned,

5. But do you think he'll be there

until every last vote is counted?

Sigh.

I really wish more people would look to the future, not to the past, and just let events unfold, starting with this year's election, before jumping on a bandwagon for Kerry or Gore or anyone else at all.

6. I think a person can do both...

be deep in this year's election and think about 2008. The Bush* crime family has caused so much ruin and suffering that it's going to take the best people to undo it. Al Gore is one of them. He has done the maturing that few grown adults do, and his story is inspiring. Listening to him speak is exciting, challenging. I agree with you wholeheartedly that 2006 is our immediate mountain to cross, and not assured in the least. But thinking about Al Gore as the 2008 standard-bearer embeds in things a breathless excitement, at least for me, and others too I'm sure :)

9. And so you don't think he actually means

it when he says he doesn't plan to run?

What distresses me the very most is the utter unwillingness to think beyond a few known candidates. In 1990 almost no one had even heard of Bill Clinton. Let's just hold back and see what unfolds. Really.

10. The other thread seems to have left the building,

so let's keep this one kicked.
