Al Gore the Environmental Apostle

Like an apostle regarding the environment, Al Gore has preached his sermons and relayed his stories to the hearts and minds of the greatest nation and the world. Of course, saying America is the greatest nation is figuratively speaking. Only great people would want to change to become even greater. I am referring to the great people that support Al Gore in his mission to make the world's people aware of self created atrocities. I am an American but I am not as proud as I once was. America has created a shameful face these past eight years and I know I need not go into detail; but now it is getting harder to say it is the "greatest". While we bask in our sovereign nation, the whole world suffers from what we reap, and consequently we suffer as well; economically and health. We must remember we are only 200 years old; therefore we are still children in this vast world of nations. In much the same way, we act like children. We do things that affect others, yet we cannot understand the consequences because we have yet to learn anything about what overall outcome may be. Our CO2 pollution makes up 45% of the world's CO2 pollution. For those who disagree that CO2 is the basis upon which global warming is being caused, I say lets drastically decrease our percentage created and see what the affects are. We cannot continue to do things and expect no reactions. We as a world power should lead others. Instead, we are slow to react to many things and are following instead. This is not because the people don't want to change. The people of a nation only know what the people in power let them know....whether the power is media, politicians, or other. I truly believe that with Al Gore in office as President of the United States of America, our nation will once again rise and become its former glorious self. It takes a person of integrity and perseverance to get us there. That is why I plea with Al Gore to take his position at the podium of our nation and the world stage. I have signed the "draftgore" petition and done things to promote him but ultimately it is up to him to come forth. He has said he has fallen out of love with politics, but that is not true. If that were the case, he would not be going around the world like a diplomat teaching other world leaders how to stop this crisis we are in and preserve what has been given to them; nature. He loves politics dearly because he cares about people. He knows many changes need to be made in many places regarding politics. We all know it will take time but I am sure that if he were to run for president, he will be given a full eight years to do his best as his people are here watching and following his creative and outstanding leadership. I know he still has it in him and I have do doubts that he will be a perfect leader. He does not avoid issues....in fact he encourages them. He does not back down like Clinton, he hits the issues hard and puts passion in what he says. He cannot be out of politics because he things like a politician, moves like a politician, and speaks like a politician (one with the right morals). It is his life whether he tries to ignore or deny it. It is who Al Gore is. Now he has become a humanitarian and I believe the world loves him for that. I just wish, hope, and pray he will listen to his heart. Only he knows what happened to his heart, but we all can see it has gotten bigger and stronger
