18. Been a member of Current since it started in 2005...
And just signed up for current.com. Do you know anything about it? Will we be able to watch the actual channel on this site? I don't get Current on my provider and would sure love to be able to watch it and expose my teen to it.

Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS to Current, Mr. Gore, and Mr. Hyatt. Hopefully this win will bring more people to your station who are serious about that dialogue!

29. I don't know, but I doubt they will let people watch the channel itself online.
They would have to re-negotiate contracts with all the TV carriers to do that.

3. Real Innovation - Exactly what America needs
We've had enough of the Industrial War Complex and don't need centrest "Republican-Lite" leading this country, we need a Real Innovator with the BALLs to do some thing about it

Al I hope you are just picking your time

19. Why does he need to run? Can't a man be admired simply for his vision and who he is?
Personally, I equate all of this success to the fact that he ISN'T one of "them" any longer and has proven anyone can make a difference if they but put their mind, heart, and soul to it. So tired of seeing the same "run al run" meme no matter what this man does. This isn't about using his success for that, this is about the message that ingenuity and vision on the part of the people can go far beyond that. He is a visionary and a pathfinder, and we need more people like that OUT HERE untainted by the status quo BS he knows all too much about.

26. Yes,
and that is exactly why we want him and trust him. He is the most qualified man I can think of to be our next president. So sue me if I want the very best.

also the candidate Mike Dewine beat in 1994 to get into the Senate...

Hyatt is also married to long time Ohio liberal, former Senator, Howard Metzanbaum...

8. That made me emotional
Had Gore been the president, taxpayer dollars would be going to mercenary thugs shooting randomly at another country's civilian population.

Write Al to put in your 2-cents!


Dear Organizers--

The America for Gore Coalition (of which AlGore.org is a member) is dedicated to making Al Gore the Democratic candidate for President in 2008. At present, we're working to get Gore’s name on as many state primary ballots as possible, and we continue to work to show support for his candidacy.

Time is growing short, and we all need to act NOW to demonstrate our support so that Gore understands how much the country wants him as its next president.

To convince Gore to step into the race, we've launched the "My Two Cents" campaign. We're asking all Gore supporters to mail him two pennies, together with a note indicating that real financial support will be provided if he accepts the challenge and runs for president. We believe that the mountain of pennies his office will receive will be a constant reminder to Mr. Gore that America needs and wants him to run. Please send a letter telling the Vice President why you want him to be our next president, and enclose two pennies, explaining that you'll send more when he announces his candidacy. Mail letters to: Office of the Honorable Al Gore2100 West End Avenue, Suite 620Nashville, TN 37203.

<snip>

Distribute this announcement to your e-mail list and post it on all Gore-friendly blogs. You can refer people to the America for Gore website at http://www.americaforgore.org . Thanks for doing your part!

Karen Wunderman
Chief of Staff, Volunteer Division

15. I am sure Bush will get an oscar and an emmy too
when he retires from the White House. His documentary, "How to fuck Americans and Get Away With It" and his TV mini-series, "Me and Osama, the road to Infamy" will be big hits. You just wait! He won't be bested by that radical Al Gore!
