I just checked on the Draft Gore web site, and the petition has now received 200,111 signatures!
This is impressive, given the fact that the push for signatures really only started a few days ago (although many of the die-hard Internet types signed it ages ago).
I realize that this is a short diary, but I'm writing it for anyone out there who is new to the kos community or who is simply lurking, so for those of you who are interested in encouraging Al to enter the race, perhaps you may want to consider the "2 Pennies" campaign.
THE TWO CENTS CAMPAIGN
Show Al the Money!
If you want to do your part to help convince Al Gore to run for President, join our two cents campaign. All you have to do is put two pennies in an envelope, and send them to
Office of the Honorable Al Gore,
2100 West End Avenue, Suite 620,
Nashville, TN 37203.
You can include a note that you'll send a proper contribution once he announces he's in the race. We believe that Gore and his advisors will take note of this tangible evidence that America needs him to run for president. It is simple, won't take long to do and will only cost you half a dollar including stamp and envelope and, of course, the two pennies. So dive into the couch and retrieve the pennies that will represent your opinion, and let's get Al in the race!
