"It's a problem that George Bush invaded Iraq ~ It's a problem that he authorized warrantless mass eavesdropping on American citizens. It's a problem that he lifted the prohibition against torture. It's a problem that he censored hundreds of scientific reports on the climate crisis ~ but it's a bigger problem that we've been so vulnerable to such crass manipulation and that there has been so little outcry or protest as American values have been discarded, one after another. And if we pretend that the magic solution for all these problems is simply to put a different person in the office of the president without attending to the cracks in the foundation of our democracy, then the same weaknesses that have been exploited by this White House will be exploited by others in the future." Al Gore / Interviewed by Arianna Huffington

It's time, Al ~

It's time to sense your moment and electrify the Democratic progressive base by throwing your hat in the ring and say ~ I'm ready to run for President and lead this country out of the mess the Cheney/Bush administration has created.

We are waiting, Al

We are waiting for the one candidate who will speak the truth and who carries the International respect and admiration of the world ~ which George W Bush so sorely lacks.

The world is waiting, Al

The world cannot adequately respond to the increasing climate crisis and global warming without our leadership and participation ~ which has been nonexistant the last seven years. This is your issue, Al and we need you operating from within the bubble of power ~ not outside.

You are waiting, Al

You are waiting for that moment when destiny seizes you by the hand and says ~ it's your turn !

Of course, you may have thought that moment was in 2000 but it was stolen from you by the Republican far right who were willing to do anything to reclaim the White House. They have now totally dismantled our constitution and left America's credibility and economy in shambles.

America is longing for a respected politician to stand up, as you have, and tell the truth to Bush and the failed Republican party ~ a true Democrat who knew this war was wrong, who knows that torture is wrong, who knows that mass eavesdropping on Americans is wrong and who is not afraid to say it !

We need a true stateman who can renew our tattered international image and help bring the world together in this time of dangerous fragmentation. A statesman who will tell the truth just like you did recently in Singapore when you blew the whistle on polluters funding research to cast doubt on global warming ~ http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/08/07/3038/

We need a true moral uniter, Al ~ A leader who can lead us out of our present self imposed moral isolation and restore our rightful place of moral integrity in the world community of nations.

Please don't fail us in this time of great national need. It's not Hillary, it's not Obama, it's not Edwards ~ nor Biden, Dodd, Richardson or Kucinich .

There is only one Democrat the Republicans truly and rightfully fear will run in 2008 ~ and that's you, Al.

There is only one candidate who can polarize the Independents and splintered Democrats into a true force of opposition, vision and change ~ and that's you, Al.

It's your moment now, Al ~ and you know it !

Excellent article

And it's so true.

We need Mr. Gore to lead us forward.

Please, Mr. Gore, serve again, and help solve our many problems.

Time for a COOL change

President in 2008

It is way past the time to put Al Gore in the Oval Office where he rightfully belongs. He can save this country from the lawlessness of the "cowboy presidency" and put our country back on the right track. I know a lot of people who would vote for him again. I would add my voice to the request, "Mr. Gore, please run for President again. We need you!"

He already has power

You honestly think he has no power now? Are you saying the people have no power? The influence he has on the media, busniness world, and global leaders now is not power? He has done more for this issue outside that toxic system than he could accomplish there in thirty years.

I just love these soundbite political ads that provide no reasonable debate. He should not have to sell his soul as he would have to do if he entered that system again. As a free thinking spokesman, statesman, and environmental advocate with the resources he has now he can do and is doing great things. But I guess that isn't exciting enough for those looking to make their "election" interesting.

BTW, what is your personal carbon foortprint for all your concern about the environment? I think anyone who writes that as the reason for him to run now should have to post their own actions regarding helping him now. Otherwise, someone might mistake these advertisements as nothing more than that.

Gore

Why is not Gore's prime issue the war and trashing the Constitution?

Global Warming can come later while we still have a non fascist government

Blind

If you are for Al Gore then you are supporting the elimination of America, literally. Al Gore is pro-North American Union and New World Order!

Al Gore, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton are all Council on Foreign Relations members. Most of them hold membership in CFR international branch organizations the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg group. For over one-hundred years, the Council on Foreign Relations and the organizations from which they evolved have been striving to achieve the union of all nations under one world government.

Besides, Gore is a hypocrite who cranks out Global Warming propaganda. Global Warming = hoax...
