Email from Gore: Unprecedented

Dear LISA,

In all my years in public life, I have never seen leaders that act with the contempt for the truth as I have witnessed in George Bush's administration.

The evidence now makes it hard to avoid the conclusion that George Bush has repeatedly and insistently broken the law and the corrupt Republican Congress has shirked its constitutional duty to hold him to account.

In my view, a president who breaks the law poses a threat to the very foundation of our democracy. As Americans with a stake in the future of our country, we must act quickly and decisively. We have less than five months to win the six seats we need to control the Senate -- and pull our country back from the brink of a constitutional crisis.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is leading the fight to restore a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate that will put the brakes on Bush's unprecedented expansion of power. The DSCC has one job and one job only -- to close the fundraising gap between Democrats and Republicans running for Senate in all the key states. Early television ads and field organizing during the third quarter are critical to success in November -- we need your help before June 30.

To help us surpass our fundraising target, a group of Democratic Senators have agreed to match your donations dollar for dollar -- meaning that your gift is instantly doubled. If you have ever thought of contributing to the DSCC, now is the time.

Please make a secure online donation to the DSCC of $50, $75 or more to help reach our $1 million goal before June 30th. Please do not wait on the sidelines -- every minute counts, every dollar counts.

I first ran for Congress in 1976, served eight years in the House, eight years in the Senate, and ran in national campaigns four times -- two for president and two as vice president. I know what it takes to win.

There is a great debate among us about whether we should run campaigns that turn out our base voters or spend our resources persuading swing voters. I ask you not to make Democrats choose -- we need both strategies to prevail. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has a comprehensive month-by-month plan to win Senate races across the country and elect a Democratic majority in November. We need your help to implement that plan. Making a contribution to the DSCC today is the strongest statement you can make that you will not allow George Bush and his Senate allies to trample the Constitution.

Please make a secure online donation to the DSCC of $50, $75 or more to help reach our $1 million goal before June 30th. Please do not put this message aside -- every minute counts, every dollar counts.

Even in the age of the Internet, television ads are crucial for introducing candidates to the voters. The DSCC faces an enormous challenge because our candidates are running against well-known Republican incumbents. As they prepare to fight the coming air war, Democrats are already feeling the effects of Republicans' special interest fundraising advantage. We're counting on small grassroots donations to close the gap.

Almost as many resources are needed for a modern-day field effort. The DSCC is leading the way in an unprecedented voter identification program in fourteen states, including door-to-door canvassing, phone banks, direct mail, and more -- and sharing our information with state and local parties. This field work must be completed during July and August if our candidates are to be competitive in the fall.

I am writing to you because you are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. It is people like you who have the power to control America's future -- and the world's. Please take immediate action today. Together, we can elect a Democratic Senate and stand up to the Bush's administration's truly breathtaking disregard for American values.

Sincerely,



Al Gore

P.S. I know you have friends, family, co-workers and neighbors who want to end George Bush's nightmarish regime. Please forward this message and ask them to make a donation to help elect a Democratic Senate and put a stop to his radical agenda.

It presents a very promising line.

Or do they get all our information automatically now?

and was very impressed with how he answered questions about teh entanglement in iraq and our pull out.

Hope you all join me!

He didn't fight against the wrigged election then, and he hasn't fought for the last one. Now he's asking for money. Money is no longer the problem.

Contributing more money now is like training for a wrigged professional wrestling match -- it makes the show more interesting but the outcome has already been decided.

While I wish it had turned out differently (with all my heart), I don't fault him for making the choices he made then. Hindisght is 20/20.

surveillance was perfectly lawful, all the more puzzling, doesn't it? Has he suddenly decided he should obey the law? I think we should be told.

I love that man.

Schumer's tool to prop up Lieberman as an independent, or am I getting confused?

...considering it'swritten by a cautious career pol, it's surprisingly hard-hitting and truthful... I have a strong feeling that Gore feels liberated these days, whether he runs in 2008 or not. Maybe it'll catch on with his fellow Dems...
