Dear Sara,
TIME IS RUNNING OUT
For too long the Bush Administration has allowed the truth to be outsourced.
Six years of George W. Bush governing by fear, isolation, and intimidation have taken a tremendous toll on our environment, our families, and our democracy. We can't stop global warming, end the war in Iraq or even thrive as a democracy if we refuse to base our policy debates on facts and thoughtful principled discourse.
For some time, I couldn't understand why America was so slow to deal with the global climate crisis. I realized that it wasn't just an unwillingness to solve this problem but the emergence of a rigid Republican political environment that was dangerously hostile to reason, knowledge and the facts.
I have faith that together we can change the debate. Time is running out before our June 30th FEC deadline. This deadline matters so much because to create real change, we need strong candidates to run.The strength of your contributions to the DCCC between now and midnight on June 30th will deepen the resolve of Democratic candidates getting ready to run and House Democrats will match your contributions 2-to-1, tripling your impact.
Contribute $35, $50 or more today to the Million Dollar Challenge and House Democrats will match your contributions 2-to-1 TRIPLING your impact before the June 30th deadline.
While we are facing so many long-term challenges, from the climate crisis, to health care, to the war in Iraq it is critical we reverse the damage done to our democracy.
With a Democratic Majority, Democrats now have the power to fix and investigate the problems Republicans spent the last six years ignoring.We are making progress. No longer is the debate in Washington focused on whether or not climate change is real - now it is focused on solutions. House Democrats are working to shape the kind of reforms we need and garner even more attention to this growing crisis.
By contributing today, you can help us to do even more to elect strong Democratic candidates to continue our fight to take this country in a New Direction and ensure lasting change. June 30th is when the DCCC hits its midyear reporting deadline. Potential Democratic candidates – men and women capable of strengthening and expanding the Democratic Majority in the House – will be making their decisions to "run or not run" in the weeks ahead. House Democrats want to show their support and have offered to match all contributions 2-to-1 before the midyear fundraising deadline. Contribute $35, $50 or more today to the Million Dollar Challenge and House Democrats will match your contributions 2-to-1 TRIPLING your impact before the June 30th deadline.
Thank you for your continued support in our fight for change.
Sincerely,
Al Gore
Vice President
PS: Don't forget that every dollar you contribute will be tripled in value as members of the Democratic House majority contribute $2 for every $1 raised online between now and June 30th. Contribute $35, $50 or more today before the June 30th deadline.

Even though Al stated we needed a Democratic Majority in the Congress, it didn't really say anything about the Presidency. I guess for a while, I considered or toyed with the idea that Al could change to Independent. However, the letter he sent out a few days ago was very specific with Al stating we needed a Democrat in the White House, so that cleared up the speculations for me.
