Supporters of Al Gore in Iowa are organizing a rally to persuade him to run on the day of the Democratic debate in Des Moines, Iowa. The organizers, Peter Ryder and Karen Wunderman, write the following of the event:

"To achieve our goal of getting Gore to run, a combination concert and rally will be held in Des Moines, Iowa, on Oct. 21st. A producer has already been lined up and is recruiting talent for the event. Two groups that are well known in Iowa are already booked (The Blue Band and Home-Grown Tomatoes ), and other musicians have been contacted for the event. In addition, prominent public figures and politicians who support a Gore candidacy are being asked to deliver persuasive messages to the audience and the wider world beyond.

An auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa, has been reserved (http://www.hoytsherman.org/). This grand old mansion has been converted into a performing arts center and can seat over 1400 people. To spread the word about the concert, we will use all available channels, including the Internet, posters, billboards, and press releases. There will also be a live webcast of the event (website to be announced)."

Please spread the word and send any contributions to:

Citizens for a Great Presidential Candidate

9. Yes, joined up with the group

in the next city over. Chicago is about an hour drive east and the deerfield group - maybe an hour and half on a good day but is usually 2 hours.
