Run Al Gore!

3109 of 100000 people have signed this petition.
Upon being chosen for the Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore wrote:

We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level.

While we admire all of the Democrats who are running for President, no candidate could provide the leadership we need better than Al Gore.

Of course Al Gore won the 2000 election, but the GOP-controlled Supreme Court threw out 175,000 never-counted votes in Florida so they could appoint George Bush and Dick Cheney.

Over the past 7 years, Bush and Cheney have unleashed death and destruction upon America and the world, while Al Gore has worked tirelessly to save the planet.

We need to put Al Gore in the White House for the sake of ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.

Run Al Gore!

Democrats.com began in 2000 at the convention that nominated Al Gore. We exposed the media's endless lies about Gore, as well as the truth about Bush - especially his still-unreported desertion from the Texas Air National Guard.

When Palm Beach voters sounded the alarm about the vote-altering "butterfly ballots," we led the fight to "count every vote" by organizing street protests across the country. When the Felonious Five on the Supreme Court threw out 175,000 never-counted votes to appoint Bush and Cheney, we helped write the famous Congressional Black Caucus challenge to Florida's electors. When not one Senator would stand with them, we helped organize the huge protests at Bush's inauguration. We never "got over" the Stolen Election of 2000 and we never will.


Many of you have already chosen your Democratic candidate for 2008, and we respect them all. But if you'd like Al Gore to run, please sign our petition:

Bush's Wiretaps: Impeachment not Immunity

This week Joseph Nacchio, the former CEO of Qwest, revealed the Bush Administration started muscling telephone companies to wiretap American citizens without a warrant on Feb. 27, 2001. When Qwest refused, they were cut out of government contracts and Nacchio was prosecuted for insider trading.

So we now know Bush began violating FISA and the 4th Amendment just 1 month after stealing the White House. And since the 9/11 attack was 7 months later, Bush has lied about 9/11 being the justification for warrantless wiretapping for the past two years. Yet Democrats in Congress still don't get it.

Together we have sent 69,153 emails to Congress calling for impeachment, not immunity. But Democrats are still trying to expand Bush's wiretapping power, even though Bush has all the power he needs - or should ever get - under the FISA law.

There is nothing in the Protect Wiretappers Act that should be renewed when it expires in February. It's time for Democrats to Just Say No to Bush on warrantless wiretapping, and to impeach him for the illegal wiretapping he began on 2/27/01.

Email your Representatives to demand impeachment not immunity:

If you have time, call your Representative and Senators at 202-225-3121 and politely express your outrage and your demand for impeachment, not immunity, for Bush's illegal wiretapping.

Iraq: "A Nightmare with No End in Sight"

That's not some peacenik - that's retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, the former top American commander in Iraq, who is finally speaking out.

Sanchez blamed the administration for a "catastrophically flawed, unrealistically optimistic war plan" and denounced the current "surge" strategy as a "desperate" move that will not achieve long-term stability. He said civilian officials have been "derelict in their duties" and guilty of a "lust for power."

Gore repeated his "no intention of being a candidate" phrase in Norway today. Still not the door-slam, but at this juncture I'd have to think that it means, at the very least, not gonna happen for 2008, at least in the conventional manner. If you strain at it, you can make the nuance mean he somehow thinks he will become president without going through the candidacy part - but that seems to be pretty desperate wishful thinking.


I still hope, but it seems he's got himself pretty well boxed in - or out, whatever the proper expression is.

:?: I'm confused. Must be because I've been out of pocket today as far as news or being near a computer.

My husband told me that he heard Randi Rhodes say today on her show that Al was in Norway. I told him; A) not possible, Randi is "sick" and not doing her show till tomorrow, B)Al is in Chicago right now, and C) therefore, it must be a rerun of one of her shows last week.

Guess I need to poke around here some more and catch up.
