$$$ Desperately Needed for Iowa Gore Concert

[SharonRB]

I received this e-mail today from Karen Wunderman at algore.org. Please help if you can.

Dear Organizers:

As you know, we have a very important rally and concert planned in Des Moines, Iowa, for Oct. 21st. Everything is place, and the more publicity the event gets, the more interest there is among higher-level people who might sign on if the event becomes big enough. In the meantime, however, we are in desperate need of $1800 by this weekend or we won't be able to pay the money to reserve the hall. We're in a Catch-22 situation because we can't send out the press release until we know for certain that we have enough money for the hall, but we won't get more money without sending out the press release.

Please, if you can send in $10, $20, $50 or more, we desperately need your help. The rally has already been publicized by bloggers, etc., and it won't look good at all if we can't get the funds to follow through. Please do your part to help. We don't have many opportunities left to show Gore our support.

Make checks payable to the PAC that's been set up for this event--

Citizens for a Great Presidential Candidate--

and mail to:
Citizens for a Great Presidential Candidate
c/o Wells Fargo
101 3rd Avenue SW
Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52404

If you're sending a check, please send Peter Ryder (event organizer) an e-mail to let him know how much you're sending: [e-mail] Also, please solicit everyone you know and post this on Gore-friendly websites.

Thanks in advance for whatever you can do. We're counting on your help. --

1. Mail can't get there by the weekend

will they front the money till checks arrive?

I just went onto algore.org and nothing was on there from her. She needs to post there also. And on dailykos he has a lot of support over there.

I hope it can be pulled together as there isn't much time. Its times like this you wish things were online because its easy to just post a debit visa card and takes more work to snail mail and time.

“RUN, AL, RUN” Rally & Concert in Iowa

Citizen’s for a Great Presidential Candidate (CGPC), a recently formed Iowa Political Action Committee is pleased to announce a Rally & Concert in Des Moines, Iowa to promote the candidacy of Former Vice President Al Gore for the Presidency of the United States. The Rally & Concert will be held Sunday, October 21 at Hoyt Sherman Place Theatre.

CGPC is part of a rapidly burgeoning grass roots movement across the United States, convinced Al Gore is the best possible choice for President at this time. We believe this election to be one of the most important in many decades and that Al Gore is the Churchill of our time.
