Some of you may have seen the Vice President's testimony given to both the House and the Senate. Some may have only heard about it, waiting to catch up with the previously recorded testimony on CSpan, or read some of the various articles that will be reporting on todays events. Like this one.
"Al Gore apparently had a few free minutes in his schedule as he made his way across Capitol Hill in between committee hearings today, so he dropped by the House chamber for a brief visit.
A standing ovation, from the Democrats, and a sustained measure of applause provided the soundtrack to his entrance. He walked slowly down the side aisle, pausing for hugs and handshakes.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi quickly made her way over to say hello, as the line of well-wishers grew. The last time Mr. Gore walked into the House chamber was on the day he certified the vote that sent George W. Bush to the White House and himself into a second career."

Either way, Al Gore was great. He gave so much time, explanations and detail. He was gracious and patient. Even under attack by some deniers in their opposition on the other side(Inhofe) showing his willingness by even offering to spend time with them outside the Capitol in answering any questions and help in understanding the issues in continuing the dialogue. Truly a Statesman.
The Draft Al Gore petition site has climbed to over 60,000. I would love to see that reach 100,000, at least. We can do that. Heck Al picked up over 200,000 signatures in only 4 to 5 days. Too bad we can't borrow his list. :)
Al Gore shows us we can have an elected official who is on the correct side of the issues. From Social Security, the War, over reaching Executive Powers, to Global Warming and technology. How nice it will be to get the best person possible to be the Leader of a free world, hopefully America.
Pleaase join the growing number to ask Al Gore to run for President. And after you've signed it, forward the link to all your friends and ask THEM to sign it.
