Viewpoints - from Al Gore

[Triana]

Dear ***

Current, the media company I co-founded six years ago with my partner Joel Hyatt, just last week launched a new web site that integrates television and the Web in an unprecedented way. It provides, as never before, a platform for citizens to make the media their own.

One of the features I'm most excited about on Current.com is called Viewpoints. Viewpoints is a virtual town hall where you can share your opinions, in video, about the issues that matter in the 2008 election: from global warming to government eavesdropping, and many more.

This digital town hall is already bustling, and you can find viewpoints from me and from a lot of people, including the candidates running for President. Come and listen to their positions and, more importantly, tell them and the rest of the world what you think!

Since Viewpoints is the only place on the Web where you can easily share your view in video, my hope is that you'll take this opportunity to go toe-to-toe with the pundits on TV and help contribute to a new platform for public discourse. All it takes is a webcam and 60 seconds.

And, since we'll be taking the most popular and most compelling viewpoints and airing them on Current TV -- now available in 52 million homes around the world -- you may very well get your voice heard on our global TV network.

I look forward to seeing and hearing you on Current.com, as we deepen the discussion on these important topics:

Thank you,

Al Gore

1. I got one of those in my inbox, too.

I have dial-up and my internet speed is not real high today, so I haven't been able to log in, but it sure is curious to me. I really think that this may be what we get from dear Albert INSTEAD of a prez run, because it sure looks like, in his own way, he is trying to form some sort of shadow government, something for the people, BY the people-sounds familiar, doesn't it? Maybe Gore is trying to restore America starting with the grassroots...maybe? If it is successful in starting a real fire of positive action, he might be able to get more accomplished through Current than in the Oval Office.
