Why your silence is so difficult Mr. Gore.

I know the Former Vice-President is too busy in trying to save the planet to run for President, but if choose a candidate to endorse; I will vote for that candidate. If Mr. Gore runs in 2012, I will support him in a heartbeat because he is the one that will finally bring peace and harmony that the world desperately needs now. If we all work together, maybe he will consider running in 2012.

I continue to have faith that Mr. Gore will indeed announce his candidacy soon - maybe very soon. But even if he does not, that is not going to change my passion to the cause. I have three young boys I'm trying to raise up, and I must continue to fight for their future. What's infuriating is that we all know what a great President Mr. Gore would (will) make, and the amazing good he could do for this planet in the most powerful position in the world. This simple fact takes nothing away from what he has accomplished in the past, and will continue to accomplish in the future as a private citizen. We've tragically seen in the past seven years the power of the Presidency to do harm to this world. What we really need to be reminded of, is the power of the office to do GOOD. Like FDR, or JFK, or even Johnson with his domestic policies ... Democrats have been a powerful force for good. Amazing achievements are possible (think Apollo) when a strong leader rallies the country behind him in support of an almost unimaginable goal. We all know that global warming and rescuing the environment is THE crucial issue of our day, and we all know what man we want to be leading this crusade in the White House.

So, yes I am impatient but am keeping the faith. We're all in this fight together, and must all work equally hard to help this planet survive. Am I wrong for wanting the best, most qualified man to lead our country in this most crucial of times ?

Gore needs to be clear on where he stands. If he does not wish the draft gore movement to continue, he needs to clearly state that. If he is intentionally using the publicity from the draft gore movement solely for his global warming crusade, he has made a grave error in judgment.

Politically - we are all frogs in the warming pot of water.

It's getting hot in here.

Jan more than half this country voted for this man 7 years ago. Don't tell me that they haven't cared about what has happened since. If you have read The Assault on Reason, you clearly missed the message. Al Gore did not give up in 2000. Neither have we. We look for no savior Jan. We are simply asking him to be the Leader HE wanted to be. And we are reminding him that we are still here and supporting him in all he is trying to do. Not participating in this democracy is not the answer. This country as well as this planet is all of our responsibility. What do you think war does to the environment? What do you think fear does? It immoblizes many. But not those who participate here and respectfully ask Mr. Gore to be that leader.

JanForGore - what did you expect us to do for the past 7 years that we haven't already tried to do?
I certaintly do not expect Al Gore to "save us." I honestly believe that he is the best choice now. And, I do respect the work he has been doing. I have been a fan of his for a very long time. I am very involved in working on the climate crisis.

No, I have more important things to do in my life than spend my days obsessing over one office... especially one people haven't given a damn about the last seven years as they watched the current occupants trash it. All they do is expect Al Gore to ride up on his white charger and save them while they take the easy way out. They treat him as if he has done nothing these past years and as if his work means nothing unless he does what they want even after all he has given, when they have done nothing to stand up to Bush and the traitors in our White House. And they think they deserve him as a president? So excuse me if I find all of the platitudes to Mr. Gore now just a bit hollow, hypocritical, and politically motivated. I support no one in this toxic system nor do I have faith in it to do what needs to be done in the state it is in now, especially with people who claim they read Al Gore's books but never seem to get the true message out of them just standing on the sidelines waiting for him to do something he is already doing.

I cannot give up on an Al Gore run. There is just no one else. ealight46 voices many of the reason's why. In not giving up, in stepping forward to voice our reasons for wanting him to run, to take back our government and work to make it whole again, in joining together to ask him to run, we are doing what he himself has suggested in his book, The Assault on Reason. We are standing up to try to make a difference.

Jan, do you mind if I ask,,do you support any particular candidate for the 2008 election?

I have read all three books Jan. Thanks.

Speak to us? What has he been doing all these months? He just spoke in Seattle regarding climate change in celebration of that city lowering its emissions below Kyoto levels. He has been speaking for months now here and all over the world and just wrote The Assault on Reason, An Inconvenient Truth, and is now working on a follow up, The Pathway To Solutions. He has done nothing but speak to us, which is why he gave us this forum to begin doing some speaking ourselves on issues. Just because he isn't saying what you want to hear doesn't mean he hasn't been speaking to us.

So eloquently stated ealight46, thanks for this heartfelt and moving post.

Please Al speak to us...
