Just in case you did not see this discussion when it went around in the Spring, here is what Lee Iacocca has to say:

In the August 27th, 2007, TIME magazine, there was an article on Leonardo Dicaprio's "The 11th Hour". I got an email about this movie from algore.com this week. TIME's article questioned why DiCaprio had not endorsed a presidential candidate for 2008.
"Or perhaps he's withholding the coveted DiCaprio endorsement until the man he considers "a great genius of our time", Al Gore, enters the race.

Well, as I was trying to see where the money was going in the 2008 Election, I happened upon this concept. Betting is actually a better predictor of a Presidential outcome than the polls. So if campaign contributions by big donors are not enough to make you sick about election outcomes, what about the idea that people make money on the outcome.

I guess we all know that people bet on all kinds of things in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. I guess it was just a bit of a shock to see that betting on an election is not something done illegally with a "bookie".

Please! What will it take for the Democrats to lose the Presidential Election in 2008 –voter fatigue and Karl Rove.

We all rejoiced when Karl announced that he was leaving the White House at the end of this month. Did you think that he was leaving because he was really an embarrassment to George Bush? Remember, this is "Bush's brain".

So while the Democrats are having a debate on almost a weekly basis – debates that most Americans without cable access don't even know about, the Republicans are just standing by and watching the Democrats kill each other off with "friendly fire".

The Dow Jones Industrial average fell again today by over 170 points; it is down about 1000 points in less than one month. Announcements of possible lower earnings by Walmart and Home Depot affected the overall market yesterday.

On, Tuesday, August 7th, the Democrats had their debates in Chicago. Yet I only heard one candidate get an environmental question which was about requiring businesses to insulate their buildings to reduce energy. Hillary caught the question, but she didn't really answer it. She just said that she had some kind of green plan.

Al, where are you? We know that you have been in Singapore. We know that you said that you may reenter politics someday. But you need to enter the race now!

I watched the Democratic AFL-CIO debate held in Chicago last night. Overall, it was a good debate, I just think we don't learn that much about the candidates in the debate format. All we really learn about them is who is the best debater or orator.

We hear it everyday – it's time for a Woman President, it's time for a Black President, it's time for a Latino President, it's time for a Mormon President.

None of those issues above concern me. What I am interested in is a President with INTEGRITY and who has the capability to understand complex issues.

The latest warning that reached our ears was the recall by Fisher Price of almost a million toys that are geared to preschool age children. Recently, the FDA said that paints on the toys contain unsafe levels of lead. The toys being recalled were manufactured in China.

On July 16th, 2007, an earthquake of a magnitude 6.8 rocked Kashiwazaki, Japan. "Radioactive material leaked undetected for days at an earthquake-battered nuclear power plant even as the utility was assuring the public that the damage posed no danger to those outside the site, company executives acknowledged yesterday." Eric Talmadge: (The following appeared on Boston.com Headline: Nuclear plant leak had gone unnoticed Date: July 20, 2007).

GORE/ MOORE 2008

I know that it would never happen. But one thing that you can say about both Authors/ Oscar winners – they both inspire us.

Who really reads political books? If you have seen a Michael Moore or Al Gore movie, if you have read a book by Al Franken, Moore, or Gore, you are probably a Democrat. (That sounds like a Redneck joke: "You are probably a Democrat if you have read Franken, Moore, or Gore"

Al Gore is trying to educate the average American about the global environmental crises and the Bush Administration’s deceptions and incompetent domestic and foreign policies. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of people are getting or understanding the message.
A while back I was discussing my involvement in politics and the "DRAFT AL GORE" movement with a close friend by EMAIL. Just having the ability to email and Internet access are afforded less than half of Americans in their homes according to Professor Lutz Erbring of the Free University of Berlin.

WHY WE SHOULD ELECT AL GORE 2008!

In November 2000, I watched the Election Coverage well into the night. I was amazed to hear the Election called for Gore and then later for Bush. It was then that I realized that our votes are not what actually elect a President. While I did know about the Electoral College system, I did not realize how it would actually fail us as a Nation. My naiveté about the political process had actually made me believe that each of our votes counts.

Howard Dean will be in Beverly Hills on Wednesday, June 13, 2007. This event is open to all Democrats at two price levels: $50/person and $500/person. The money is for the Democratic Committee which will, of course, contribute to the winner of the Democratic primary.

I just spoke to an organizer of this event in Washington, D.C. She said that there will be many people representing all of the Presidential hopefuls there. I would like to see a strong show of people there for Al Gore.

Rarely does the Supreme Court of The United States take up a case which has been ruled upon by a State Supreme Court BASED UPON STATE LAW. It is even more rare for The Supreme Court of The United States to OVER-RULE A DECISION RULED UPON BY A MAJORITY OF A STATE SUPREME COURT.
