Help Draft Gore fund an ad in the NY Times

Sun Sep 30, 2007 at 10:28:18 AM PDT

I just got this email in my in-box.  Let's help Draft Gore get an ad in the NY Times.  We know what kind of impact a bold full page ad in the NY Times can have.......Let's show Gore what the power of this community really is.  Many of us have pledged to donate to Gore's campaign once he gets in; let's show him we mean it.

more below the snip.

Dear Friends,

We are entering the final stretch of this campaign, energized by a wave of enthusiasm and the hope that a Gore candidacy may be just weeks away. No, we cannot promise you that. But our candidate has left the door wide open and now it's up to us to try to persuade him to walk through it. Events over the next few weeks could affect this decision - and with it, the course of history. Some of them are out of our hands, such as the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize on October 12. But what we can do is make our voices heard to let Al Gore know that our call to service is backed by our willingness to fight for him. Please read on and join us on this historic journey.
Help us take out an ad in the New York Times

This will be our biggest bang of the campaign: a full-page ad in the New York Times with a powerful open letter to Al Gore asking him to run for president. But this ad is extremely expensive and we cannot afford it without your contribution. This is a one-time request and a unique opportunity for you to let Al Gore know how strongly you feel about him running in 2008. This is one letter he is sure to read. Please help us make it a reality by making a contribution today.
Organize locally on our new website

This week we launched a new version of the Draft Gore website, complete with organizing tools and boards that allow you to form local chapters, communicate, organize events, and help set up an army of supporters that could soon become the core organization of a potential Gore candidacy.

Please visit our website and explore the various ways in which you may become involved in this historic effort. To start a chapter, click on the "Gore Supporters in Your State" link and follow the simple instructions.

It may seem hard to believe that a group of grassroots activists like us could have a real impact on the choice of candidates for president. But as Margaret Mead once said:

Never underestimate the power of a few committed people to change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Thank you for your continued support of Draft Gore.

Sincerely,

Monica Friedlander
Draft Gore
