Title: DFA pulse poll
Description: a plea for votes.


mprov - November 4, 2007 10:13 PM (GMT)
Hi all.

The DFA pulse poll ends tomorrow at midnight. Currently Al's in 2nd place some 5,000 votes behind Kucinich. Dennis has 3 links to this poll on his front page, so naturally, his people are voting pretty constantly. No other candidate has placed links at there web sites. Hillary seems to be ignoring DFA completely. Nothing new there. 34,000+ out of 127,000+ people have voted for Al. I consider this a very good thing even if Al doesn't end in first place.

I have been an active member of DFA going back to the summer of 2003. There is a lot of support for a Gore presidency among our members. I'd like to make a challenge to all of you to push Al's vote over 40,000 by the end of tomorrow. I think we can do this.

Thanks for all that you do dear patriots!

I see that draftgore.org have sent out emails with the DFA Link. I would encourage people to call in the radio shows The Young Turks, Thom Hartmann, Randi Rhodes, and Mike Malloy (all seem to be Gore promoters) to bring up voting in the poll.

Oh, how I've been trying to keep this fresh so that new guests would vote. I think Al would retake the lead if the deadline was a week from now, assuming he's on TV a lot this week as we think he's going to be. Still, he's done well considering he's a write-in

Am I hearing he is on the Today tomorrow (Monday)?

TNblue - November 5, 2007 05:13 PM (GMT)

Can someone call or email Randi before her show today? It's in less than 3 hours. She can bump this thing up. (I'm not where I can do that.)

I have;

rrhodes@airamericaradio.com

Is that correct?

I'll do it but we need as many people as possible to email her....

Thanks

I didn't see where you could send an email, so maybe a phone call would be best. That looks like a toll free number.

I also think these hosts need to know about the new Zogby and CBS Polls. They have much time to fill in and most are very receptive to Gore's Candidacy.

OK, so Al didn't win first place in the poll, but was a verry strong second. They didn't give that a lot of ink on the first page.

Here are the comments by Charles Chamberlain. He's not giving up on a Gore run. Why should we?

If there is one force in the Democratic primary election that has been the most under estimated or ignored by the mainstream media, it is the Draft Gore movement.

Who is Draft Gore? Here's what it says at www.DraftGore.com


We are grassroots Democrats from across the country who believe Al Gore is the true voice of our party and the only leader and statesman who can return the White House back to the American people.

We are not affiliated with any candidate or political party. Our supporters include members of Democratic Party organizations at all levels, but we take pride in being truly a grassroots movement -- one that's neither financed nor orchestrated by the powerful, but that builds on the enthusiasm and passion of the American people.

Started by a handful of committed supporters, the movement has grown to over 215,000 strong. They are organized in numerous states gathering the necessary signatures to put Gore on the ballot. They raised tens of thousands of dollars to run ads in the New York Times and even more to run T.V. ads in Iowa.

The press calls them irrelevant. Some activists call them delusional. Both are wrong.

The Draft Gore movement is inspiring. It's bold. Passionate. Committed. They've found a candidate that was against the war from the beginning, stands up for universal health care and will fight to stop global warming. A man who is respected around the world with years of foreign policy experience. A candidate who ran before and won. The candidate that can win again.

These activists know that if Gore doesn't jump in they will have to support another candidate. They know that this late in the game the chances that Gore will jump in are low. But they will not give up until it's over. They want to hear the truth from the Nobel Prize winner themselves. In 2004, Al Gore specifically called the leaders of Draft Gore and asked them to stop. In 2007, he has never made that request.

Over 38,000 DFA members chose ‘other' in the DFA Presidential Pulse Poll and wrote Al Gore in. Those members will go the extra mile and overcome the odds to deliver victory. Leaving only one question left; is Al Gore going to run or not.

He's scheduled for Jay Leno on Thursday, November 8th. Will this be the big day? Will Al Gore make his plans public and official? Is he in or out? Hopefully, we'll find out.

In the meantime, you can help make it happen, by joining the movement at www.DraftGore.com

It's your America. You have the power to take it back.

The results for the individual states are interesting as well. Check those individually by clicking on the state - it will give the breakdown for each state below the national results. Gore takes 1st in several states, and Edwards takes WA, interesting!

Also interesting that Hillary (the 'frontrunner') doesn't pull even 5% in ANY state!
