Former Vice President Al Gore has the best background and capabilities to lead the US out of the mess we’re in, into a brighter, more prosperous, and peaceful future. This “draft Gore” campaign is an all-volunteer, grass-roots effort designed to encourage Mr. Gore (and his family) to run, by demonstrating the extent of support for his candidacy. 100% of donations will go directly to Mr. Gore’s campaign.
- Al Gore served as Vice President for eight years, leading us to record peace and prosperity.
- 500,000 more Americans voted for Gore than Bush in 2000. (Gore was denied the Presidency only when the Republican-majority Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that Florida votes could not be recounted.)
- Only three times before in US history has a Presidential candidate won the popular election and lost in the Electoral College: Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland (both of whom won four years later!), and Tilden (who retired and twice declined renomination). And then, in 2000, Al Gore.
- Many voters were deceived by Bush jr.’s campaign manipulations, and they now have “voter’s regret.” (Remember “uniter, not a divider”? “Compassionate conservative”? “WMD”? “Mission Accomplished”? “Heckuva job, Brownie”?)
- Gore is a true uniter, with the intelligence and courage to speak the truth, and the values and moral integrity to lead our beloved country forward.
- He warned in September 2002 that invading Iraq would worsen our security. 75% of Americans now recognize that he was right.
- Since 2000 he has gone on to found a successful Socially Responsible Investment fund, a popular online video website (Current.TV), and a prophetic documentary film on disruptive climate change that was awarded an Oscar for best documentary at the Academy Awards. He won the Nobel Peace Prize!!! (Hello, voters?) Get to know the real Al Gore by watching the video, below.
- Gore has such good name-recognition and popularity that he can announce his candidacy during the Democratic Convention, and immediately be the front-runner. The choice is his.
- Running for President is an enormous personal sacrifice. Every day, evening, and weekend is spent campaigning, speaking in public over and over again, constantly traveling, and suffering abuse at the hands of the right-wing noise machine. Show Mr. Gore a little love
- and some money! - and encourage him to make this sacrifice for the sake of our country.
