Last year, Patriots for Al Gore recognized the survivors of Hurricane Katrina as our persons of the year for their bravery and their resilience in the face of unimaginable tragedy. This year we recognize a man who has devoted his life to visionary leadership regarding the environment whether as a public servant or private citizen/statesman, and a man who has now finally been able to bring this crucial issue into the forefront of the social and political mindset as the peoples' advocate. A man who is doing all of this because he is deeply committed to this cause and this planet, and who has never put himself above it.
I have stated many times that it is not the title that makes the man. A man is who he is because of his heart and soul, and a heart and soul dedicated sincerely to a cause is a formidable force regardless of any title bestowed upon him. Al Gore is such a man, and he will be known as a man who achieved great things in the continued fight for our planet's sustainability and for bringing about changes that will make this world a better place for our children by empowering us and them to action.
After thirty years of perseverance, commitment, and passion, his message is finally reaching the people it must reach in order for us to now begin the work needed to sustain our planet and our future, while also fulfilling his own personal visionary quest. And he is now sharing that fulfillment with all of us and telling us through his work as a private citizen that we all have that power within us to make changes, and that indeed for all of us to use that power would certainly move mountains. He is without a doubt the leader of a grassroots movement finally taking root, and hopefully uniting our world in a common cause: The cause of taking care of our planet, and each other. There is then no other person we could entertain recognizing this year as our Person of the Year other than the Honorable Al Gore.
Mr. Gore, you are a man among men… An environmental advocate... A statesman... A leader… And you will always be our Environmental Ambassador and our president.
But above all, you are a man who cares about the moral direction we all must take now in order to preserve this precious blue dot for our children. There is no more important or worthy cause and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your relentless commitment in always seeing a better day through the ingenuity and power of the people.
Therefore, in order to recognize our thanks to you for your unyielding passion in getting out the truth about what we are now doing to our world and the hope that working together we can mitigate it, we will make a donation to the Alliance for Climate Protection in support of the goals of speaking truth and solutions, and in the coming year we will continue to work with you on this crisis in any way we can in the hope that we will solve this crisis in time. Again, thank you.
