I really hope Al Gore runs in 08. I can only imagine what our country would be like right now if would have been our President in 2000? We really need a leader who has vision in these times.

I’m only a kid but I know Bush walked backwards when it came to global warming.

Al Gore’s time is now! We need a man who can see the whole picture. A man who has the strength to do more than try to make a place in history for himself based on spin & theatrics. A man who has the interests of this country & this world as one place, we all must share. And I believe Al Gore is that man! I sincerelt hope i can vote for Al In 2008!

Al Gore, please throw your hat into the ring. The time is ripe to give it another go. The country is suffering and the Democrats have no body that can win in 2008 but you.

Think of how much better our whole world would be if we had all stood up for the popular vote in 2000. Now is the time to rectify that and stand up for what is right and speak out in support of Al Gore for President in 2008 ! He is the best person I can think of to guide us back on track both as a nation, economically, politically, and ecologically. Al Gore is a fair statesman and would regain respect for America in the world community. “The Inconvenient Truth” has done more to show Al Gore as a world class leader than any campaign could do. I know it would be hard to go back to campaigning after public life. But we need you NOW, Al Gore, before it is too late !

Al Gore won the Presidency fair and square in 2000 and only a right-leaning Supreme Court was able to “award” the victory to that dumb ass Dubya Bush who went on to steal another election in 2004 and has presided over the most corrupt, incompetent Administration in decades. Al Gore may be considered dull by some, but I think he is the most intelligent and ethical choice for the Democrats in 2008. He is the leader that has the wisdom that America needs to repair the damage caused by eight years of right-wing, free-spending Repugnant cronyism and mismanagement. Please Mr. Gore, use your vast talents and resources to become the President America rightly needs to restore America’s standing and respect throughout the world.

Al Gore for Green Party President 2008
Why don’t we get Al Gore into the 2008 Presidency as the GREEN CANDIDATE?
Help me PLASTER THE WEB with this concept!!!
Please, if someone can get this to him, show this to (President) VP. Gore ASAP?
Since the Democrats are a shameful embarassment of a political party, Gore should run as Green zcandidate for 2008!
Dem’s suck because:
1. Voted yes to War & Patriot Act,
2. Didn’t force a cap on Record Oil Profits (btw –> price fluxes were not based on ‘free market’ supply demand but 100% market manipulation by corps),
3. Won’t even discuss Impeachment (why didn’t that happen to Pres. Clinton?),
4. NO CANDIDATE will stand by Kucinich’s HR333!!,
5. Poor investigation of Voter Fraud,
6. Didn’t slam Bush for Hurricane Katrina incompetence,
7. Allowing no-bid graft ‘donations’ to Halliburton,
8. Funding ongoing Iraq fiasco,
9. Didn’t nail Bush about lying to America about WMD’s, spilling an undercover agent’s name as political revenge, Gonzalez’ abuse of office, Scooter Libby’s scandal, Rove’s consistent violation of ethics standards,
10. and so much more… (I’m keeping this list short for legibility, not for lack of issues)
The Dems are basically GIVING AWAY EVERYTHING Americans fought for.
So why not have Gore run as the GREEN PARTY Presidential Candidate?
Reasons:
1. He could win (I think he would win)
2. He would force Democratic party to commit to some environmental platform (which he says is more important than him personally winning anything)
3. He would permanently help the Green party (and hopefully all American 3rd parties AND representative elections instead of ‘winner take all’)
4. The Dem’s betrayed him before
5. He could keep his ethics and be 100% anti-war, 100% anti-corporate ‘collusion’, & 100% pro-environment
I SAY GORE FOR GREEN PRESIDENT 2008!
He’d get my vote!
