Sent Gore's letter back to him
I received a form letter a few days ago after I sent him a thank you card and 2 cents with a note (two different mailings). I got the standard I have no plans to run but thank you for contacting me letter.

For days it was on my mind and today I turned the letter over and wrote on the back,

Dear Al,

I can't accept this answer because the country needs a real leader right now and I don't see one in the rest of the candidates.

....I don't remember everything I said but I told him about talking to my daughter in her mid 20's last night who told me she would vote for him if he ran because he has all their issues. I told him that I thought for sure she would be into Hillary but no she thinks Hillary has no chance with voters in the rural areas that won't vote for a woman. My daughter is in Korea now with husband who is captain in the air force.

Then I went on to say that its time to pay the piper and fix this country, financially, environmentally, and Health Care and that is going to take a real leader like how he was in getting those planes to New Orleans.

I crossed out my name and put his and ended up using same paper and envelope and just put new stamp and taped it up.

I feel much better now. I also told him we the people want our country back and after reading Assault on Reason he is the one to get us there.

We have to take action to know we tried our hardest to make this happen.

1. I send Gore a letter every single week
and get back the same response. I never thought of sending the note on his form letter. What a great idea! Thanks

3. The address to write Al Gore is...

The Honorable Al Gore
2100 West End Avenue, Suite 620
Nashville, TN 37203

Write to him. You will receive an answer, even if it is a form letter. That's more than I get from my representatives.

5. Include two cents when you write him
There's a My Two Cents campaign and, from what I understand, the bags of pennies are piling up! You're giving him your two cents both literally and figuratively. Tell him the two pennies are a deposit on the campaign contributions that will come once he announces.

4. I love you
That is a great idea. Thanks for posting it.

btw, I was reading your post to my husband and I cried. I got such a lump in my throat and then I started crying. You said so much and did it so well.
