Mr. Gore is asking for people to sign these cards to tell Congress that they must act NOW to address this crucial crisis that will determine our future sustainability. I am passing this along because this is a sincere effort on the part of a good man to speak for our planet and for us on this issue, and to give us the opportunity to speak for ourselves. If you have not signed a card yet to tell Congress that they need to do their MORAL duty regarding this, please do and pass this along.
This is what Mr. Gore did when he first came to Congress when he thought people would give a damn there. He held a hearing and had his mentor Roger Revelle come to be a witness, and nothing. No one thought that this was an issue we needed to be concerned about... and now look. We cannot let history repeat itself at this crucial moment in time. If you care about this planet and the world your children will inherit please help him with this effort, and please recommend this thread to reach as many people as possible.
Thank you

On March 21st, I'll hand-deliver your message to Washington when I testify at
Congressional hearings on the climate crisis.
Can you commit to finding 10 friends to send a message to Congress demanding immediate action?
Ask them to visit:
http://algore.com/cards.html Dear Jan,
When the producers of An Inconvenient Truth first approached me with the concept for the film, I was skeptical. Could we really take a slideshow about the climate crisis and turn it into a compelling movie? Davis Guggenheim�s Oscar win for best documentary and a second one for Melissa Etheridge�s beautiful song �I Need to Wake Up� was a testament to their ability, but it was also a testament to you.
It was you who packed the theaters and got your friends to go see this film, greatly increasing the audience. And then this past December, it was you who connected through MoveOn.org and AlGore.com to attend An Inconvenient Truth viewing parties. At those parties and in the weeks that followed, nearly 200,000 of you wrote to Congress, demanding that they address the climate crisis like the planetary emergency that it is.
Even though I have been a life-long movie fan, I didn�t really understand how big of an audience a movie could reach. And of course I never would have imagined in a million years that a movie that I was a part of would receive two Academy Awards�or one�or would have ever been made in the first place! As humbling as this moment is, An Inconvenient Truth will only succeed if it drives all of us to take action. That�s why I�m asking you to join me in the next stage of our fight. On March 21st, I'm going to hand-deliver the messages you signed when I testify at Congressional hearings on the climate crisis.
This is an incredible opportunity to demonstrate to Congress that we demand immediate action. And I need your help to really make this moment count. Can you commit to getting 10 friends to send their message to Congress through AlGore.com before March 21st? The more voices I can bring to Washington, the more powerful our message will be.
To get your friends involved, just forward them this note or direct them to:
http://algore.com/cards.htmlThere is no longer a debate about the fact that global warming is real. We're causing it. The consequences are serious, and could be headed towards catastrophe if we don�t fix it. And it's not too late. I don't want to imagine a future in which our children say, �What were our parents thinking?� �Why didn't they wake up when they had a chance?� And I know you don�t either.
The hundreds of thousands of you who signed messages to Congress showed me what's possible. Working together we can unite millions of people and build support for real action on a scale that has never been seen before.
Help me take the first step and fill up that hearing room with your signatures. That picture alone will send a powerful message.
Can you commit to getting ten more people to send messages to Congress demanding action to stop global warming?
http://algore.com/cards.htmlI�m looking forward to working with you on this monumental task.
Thank you,
Al Gore
