I Just Got this Email from DFA:
Dear Abraham,
Our challenge to Al Gore: Jump In or Drop Out!
Something surprising is happening at Democracy for America; former Vice President Al Gore is leading the race for the DFA Presidential endorsement -- as a write-in candidate.
Voting is still open until November 5 at midnight, and there is plenty of time for any candidate to win. All your candidate needs is your vote right now:

and the rest of it:
Despite the fact that Al Gore has not announced that he will run and wasn't even included in the endorsement poll, DFA members have seized the power and written him in. With over 65,000 votes cast so far, the time has come for Vice President Gore to make a decision.
The clock is ticking. We are deep into the 11th hour. There are fewer than 90 days until the first votes are cast. And filing deadlines to be on the ballot start closing in just days.
You deserve to know. Is Al Gore in or out?
Together, we are the boots on the ground that knock on doors, make phone calls, and recruit new supporters whether advocating for the next president or electing Governor Howard Dean to Chair the Democratic National Committee. DFA members are working to take our country back and the DFA endorsement is worth more than just words to the candidate that wins.
Vote for your candidate now:

Of course, this is not an ordinary endorsement poll. All voters are asked for their top three choices. And in the end, only an announced candidate can win the DFA endorsement. That means this will be the first poll in the nation that can accurately report both the remarkable support Al Gore has in the progressive grassroots AND which announced candidates earn that support if he never jumps in.
When we announce the results on November 6th, one year from Election Day, everyone will be watching.
Don't keep us waiting, Mr. Gore. It is time for an answer.

UPDATE: A Suggestion From The Good Gentleman (Jim) from Chicago:
Time to call Gore's office I think (1+ / 0-)
I suggest using the DFA poll and email to push them. State filing deadlines are coming up FAST, and in many states Gore would have to participate by signing forms and/or submitting documents. In Illinois he would have to do both and the deadline is 2 weeks from today!
