The Draft Gore petition, run by Draftgore.com, has almost doubled its signatures over the last month, and now stands at more than 43,000 names. More than 2,000 signatures poured in after the Oscars. Let's try to make that 50,000 and then 100,000. Please sign. Please forward the link to all your friends. And help us advertise the petition far and wide with a contribution. We can't do it without you. Thanks.
