11. Wow, did they all sign the Live Earth pledge too?
or like the people running this "draft", are they arrogant enough to think they don't have to sign it because they are secretly hoping his environmental efforts flop because they think it will push him into running into a system they have no intention of getting up off their butts to change? I read they had a radio ad out calling him "Live Earth" Al. If true it sounds like something Karl Rove would do, not supporters of his...and they also chartered a CO2 air pollution spewing airplane just to run their website banner over Giants Stadium last week just like the freepers did. At an environmental concert for the planet they pollute the air just to get their name out here. Yeah, they support his efforts alright.

So now only a few days after Live Earth and his pleas for US to be the change, they still ignore it by in essence sayign to him 'Up yours Al, we want YOU to do it, and don't you dare ask us to do anything because we just want to get our names in the paper, take the focus off your work, and position ourselves to take credit for changing your mind if you do so.' Again, drafts are nothing more these days than exercises in ego stroking, particularly this one since the same people running it this time were turned down last time and only got the signatures they did this time (unless some are duplicates or made up) because they rode on Mr. Gore's success and crashed his book signings.

Let them come back with one with 250 million signatures on it that can be verified as real people and not duplicates, and then maybe they will have something. Oh, and just one question: If they think it is too early for Mr. Gore to "campaign" or annoucne anything, why isn't it then too early to be doing this? I mean, if he ever should deecide "that" way, he has plenty of resources to do it on his own and he won't need them. I only then see this as a group of people trying to get out of the gate to compete with other groups or before other groups come out because this is nothing but some BS ego Internet contest. And to me it serves absolutely no purpose in furthering progress on this climate crisis NOW.
