Dear Vice President Gore:

Happy Birthday from one lifelong Democrat to whom you are a true hero. 60 is indeed the new 59 and you wear it well!

Thank you for all you do on so many fronts, especially for our environment/planet, and for the great example you set for the rest of us in terms of fighting for what you believe in with respect, integrity, diplomacy, passion, intelligence, creativity and vision.

Keep up the profoundly good work! Again, you are a major hero of mine. May your birthday be wonderful.
