Al Gore - Viewpoints - New website - A virtual Townhall for sharing opinions

Don't know if this has been posted on DU as my computer was out for 2 days.

Al Gore - Viewpoints
Dear ------,
Current, the media company I co-founded six years ago with my partner Joel Hyatt, just last week launched a new web site that integrates television and the Web in an unprecedented way. It provides, as never before, a platform for citizens to make the media their own.One of the features I'm most excited about on Current.com is called Viewpoints.

Viewpoints is a virtual town hall where you can share your opinions, in video, about the issues that matter in the 2008 election: from global warming to government eavesdropping, and many more.

This digital town hall is already bustling, and you can find viewpoints from me and from a lot of people, including the candidates running for President. Come and listen to their positions and, more importantly, tell them and the rest of the world what you think!http://current.com/viewpoints

Since Viewpoints is the only place on the Web where you can easily share your view in video, my hope is that you'll take this opportunity to go toe-to-toe with the pundits on TV and help contribute to a new platform for public discourse. All it takes is a webcam and 60 seconds.

And, since we'll be taking the most popular and most compelling viewpoints and airing them on Current TV -- now available in 52 million homes around the world -- you may very well get your voice heard on our global TV network.I look forward to seeing and hearing you on Current.com, as we deepen the discussion on these important topics:http://current.com/viewpoints

Thank you,
Al Gore

1. It seems Elizabeth Edwards is already taking advantage of this.

3. Barack Obama is on there, too

I went over last night and watched some of the clips in viewpoints. Had fun trying to guess if the person was liberal or conservative before I listened to their POV.

4. Well then, good for Obama.

THANKS for the repost. I think we ought to support Gore and Currents - keep an eye on that!

5. Just one more reason,

why Gore is definitely far and away the best possible nominee.
