You know how Al Gore is going to endorse someone before the primaries?
I just read an article that the Biden camp hasn't gone after it.
But Biden has the best record on the environment. So I just sent this email to
his campaign:

Biden should go after this endorsement:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/08/AR2007090801458.html?hpid=sec-politics

Senator Biden has the best rating from the League of Conservation Voters -
Biden - 95%
Clinton - 89%
Dodd - 84%
Edwards - 37%
Obama not rated but they do not like his position on coal.
=================
Biden is praised for his position on Liquid Coal
http://www.heatison.org/content/blank/candidate_chart

And he has received ALOT of praise for this:
US Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) has introduced legislation that would significantly increase US investment in the development of advanced lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.
“The American Automobile Industry Promotion Act of 2007” (S.1055) authorizes $100 million a year for five years to advance the technology—double the amount of the current budget request from the Administration.
Specifically, Biden’s bill would support the development of advanced electric components, systems and vehicles, by providing funds for battery research to national laboratories, small businesses, and institutes of higher learning.
======================
Do you realize what kind of bump Biden would get if Gore endorsed him?
An endorsement from Gore would make an endorsement from Oprah look like a joke.
He would be in the top tier immediately.

Biden has the best record on the environment -
Go grab it!
end of email

His campaign is insane if they didn't present this to Gore.
I have emailed them about praise Biden has received on environmental issues before.
This is the endorsement he should have.

-----------
Just thinking - maybe together we should make a presentation to Al Gore. (thru email or snail mail or both)
What do you think? I just don't know if I trust his campaign to follow through on this.
Or do you have any other ideas how we can get him noticed by Gore?

3. When you contact Joe's campaign, do you feel as though your message is getting
through to Joe?

I have this fantasy that I'm his volunteer who daily hands him a list of things he needs to address, be aware of, and comments from his supporters. And I don't mean just hand it to him and go quietly into the night. I mean having a robust discussion, argument, whatever. He always says his dad said "get up!" I'd say -- "Joe -- GET UP!"
