Regarding opening environmentally protected areas for mining and pumping oil:

There is over 200 years of oil in the 48 contiguous States that are capped up by oil companies to monopolize world energy. There is no need to violate our environmentally protected areas, just to allow oil companies to further monopolize their strangle hold over our lives.

They are creating a media frenzy just to increase the price of oil; very successfully I might add. However, there is no immediate threat for an oil shortage !!! The oil companies have ONLY created the perception that there is a shortage !!!!

I personally believe that ALL mineral rights belong to the American People, NOT souless corporations!!!

I applaud Venezuela for nationalizing the oil assets in their country!!!!

We should be doing the same thing here in the United States !!!!

What does it mean for you, the voter, when you see an endorsement of a Candidate?  Nothing!  For the past few months I have been a volunteer with a Congressional campaign, participating from the inside, in the Democratic process.  I have been appalled by the unscrupulous means some other candidates use to try and lure votes.  Just as we see nightly in the National Election, I have watched as despicable means are used to manipulate numbers to get a Club endorsement.  Personal endorsements are posted on Websites without permission.  I have listened to words being twisted to infer one person’s value over another based on how much money the candidate loaned his campaign.  I have sat by and listened as one candidate takes another’s phraseology and vomits it out as his own.  I see "endorsements" in mailers that are false.  The only thing of value, fellow  voters, is what you know to be true.  Read, ask questions, call the candidates at every level and ask the hard questions.  Ask the questions that reflect your values, your concerns, your needs.

 The June 3rd election will sadly have a poor showing of voters.  Maybe 10% of the registered voters will make decisions that will have a lasting effect not just on our lives, but the lives of our children and Grandchildren.  I besiege you to Vote.  In a time when many of our civil rights have been compromised, voting becomes even more meaningful.  It is our responsibility to Vote intelligently, to be informed, and to make our vote reflect our values, our concerns and our needs.

California Draft AL Gore 2008

Friends,

The time has come for America to have real leadership. While I do not dispute the fact that there are currently great choices for the Democratic nominee, I must bring forward the point that America and the world are in dire need of more.

Since the 2000 election, no I mean supreme court decision/ appointment, America has not been the beacon of hope, and freedom that it once was. We have a huge prominant scar. We are the leader of the free world and we didn't have a free election, it was stolen, from you and me and from the man who truely won - Al Gore. The Constitution has been mostly invalidated since.

America will never be the same. We will always look back and say, "what might have been?"  Have you felt it? The calling from the very soul inside you? The calling to save our constitution? To save the fundamental values that are America?

To do this, save the country we must have the rightfully elected GORE ADMINISTRATION in office. 

Some of us, progressive democrats, liberals, greens, independants and yes some republicans, - Americans are working for this very solution. We are going to draft Al Gore.

He said he would know it was time to enter the race "when he saw it". We are it. He has and is seeing our efforts. Now he has the Nobel Peace prize. A true testiment to his distiction from Goerge Bush,  the "war president" vrs. Al Gore the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE winner.

I write you all today to ask solemnly for your help. Even if you already support another canidate, adding Al Gore to the Ballot symbolizes to the world that Americans will not sit by quietly and let our voting rights to hold free elections, decided by the people go by. 

It is still relatively early in the process and any canidate, front runner or runner up can still crash and burn. Remember what they did to Howard Dean in the media? With a back up choice, a strong choice, you can rest asured you'd have a real statesman to vote for. And we can make histroy in the meantime.

Please help our efforts by circulating a nomination form and collecting signatures. Or at least sign one of the forms already being circulated. We all owe this to histroy. We all owe this to AL GORE, a real American, and a real steward of this earth.
