What If Gore Had Been Our 43rd President?

This book is coming out any day now, over 200 pages of quotations from throughout Gore's career.

From the introduction,

This is no time for irony. Given that his personal crusade is
halting global warming, former Vice President Al Gore is a man on fire. ...
From Madison to Manhattan, Gore followers wait for that day when he flicks on the campaign switch and says,"America, I'm in!"

........................

It's impossible to avoid the fleeting indulgence of speculation. What if Florida had swung the other way and Gore became our forty-third president? The United States wouldn't be stuck in a military quagmire in Iraq, which Gore calls "the single worst strategic mistake in the history of this country." The Constitution wouldn't be force-fed into an Oval Office paper shredder.The judicial system wouldn't be stocked like a conservative trout farm. Dick Cheney wouldn't be running his own shadow government. Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo wouldn't be permanent stains on our country's conscience. No illegal domestic spying. No huge tax cuts benefiting the super wealthy. Instead of a gargantuan budget deficit, there'd probably still be a surplus. Our public lands wouldn't be held hostage to oil, gas, mining, and timber interests. The nation would be greener, cleaner, healthier, safer and more optimistic about its future.

It's a FACT.

...9/11 would have never happened under President Gore.

Life in this country now is like having witnessed a horrific car crash...and knowing that it could have been avoided, and all the damage and loss of life were not necessary.

He and Clinton had developed some pretty good systems for tracking terrorists that the blivet immediately dismantled upon taking office.

As I will again once we get rid of these damn Republicans!

When oh, when will the rank and file Democrats wake up to our stolen elections and start holding our party accountable?

Right now, today, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is holding up a much needed reform bill while he negotiates deals with vendor-funded special interests. He has been doing this since MAY and the clock is ticking, with time running out to protect 2008.

Hoyer needs to protect our elections or step aside and let someone else in who will! (If Murtha was Majority Leader, we'd have something passed by now to protect 2008, and be on our way out of Iraq too.)

Call or fax the Majority Leader's office NOW and tell him MOVE HR 811 to an up or down vote -- no more tinkering and no more deals for special interests!

Protect. Our. Elections. NOW.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer
