Addresses:

The San Diegans for Gore in 2008 group was very active at Al Gore's May 21 appearance at the University of California, San Diego. Our volunteers gathered hundreds of petition signatures as well as attracting significant local TV news coverage of our grassroots campaign.

It is no secret that Al Gore's evidence supporting the harsh reality of Global Warming is not received well by political opponents, namely Bushoian Republicans. The fact remains that the climate crisis is a reality. The former Vice President's testimony in front of Congress in late March presented two choices: take the moral high ground and solve the problem, or answer tough questions about lack of courage from future generations.

Free tickets for Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth lecture were issued today beginning at 10 am. They were all gone before 11 am. The event is being held at UCSD's RIMAC Arena on May 21. The majority of tickets appeared to go to UCSD students who stood in line for a long time before the ticket office opened. Following the San Diego event, Al Gore will begin his 12-city national book signing tour.

With the help of AGO convention delegates from Northern California, San Diegans for Gore in 2008 collected 332 petition signatures at the California State Democratic Convention which was held in San Diego. Together with the 737 signatures collected by our group on Earth Day, the "San Diego 4 Gore" group collected 1,069 signatures from people who want Al Gore to run for President in 2008. We were also able to supply the convention delegates with hundreds of buttons and lapel stickers.

This weekend at the California State Democratic Convention that was held in San Diego, we had an opportunity to coordinate with several AlGore.org groups from other parts of the state to create a presence of the Al Gore movement that was felt by both the delegates and media.

Wow! What a day!

IMAGINE . . . How different America and the world would be if Al Gore’s victory in 2000 had not been hijacked, if he had become President of the United States instead of George W. Bush:

– What if the warnings of Richard Clarke and the CIA had been heeded by a president who was not obsessed with banning stem cell research and clearing brush on his ranch, so that the 9/11 attacks might have been prevented?
– What if we had not launched an unprovoked, incompetently-executed “crusade” as we did by invading and occupying Iraq?

Not Al Gore!

What if

Al Gore was president the last 8 years?

Hello Everybody,

If you are visiting this web site, you are probably part of rapidly growing movement to draft Al Gore in 2008. The movement is growing by the day. Over the past 60 days, Al Gore has enjoyed a lot of attention: Jimmy Carter's endorsement, the Oscars, attention from CNN, House and Senate appearances, over 500,000 signatures on a message to Congress to solve the climate crisis, just to name a few. The result has been the rapid creation of local groups throughout the United States at both algore.org and meetup.com.
