"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 !
