NEW HAMPSHIRE GORE SUPPORTERS ENDORSE JOHN EDWARDS FOR PRESIDENT
Organization Cites Edwards’ Realistic, Sensible Solutions to Tackling the Challenge of Global Warming On Eve of First in the Nation Primary
Littleton, NH – Today, on the eve of New Hampshire’s first in the nation primary, Draft Gore New Hampshire, a statewide group of Granite state voters concerned about the impact of global warming, announced its endorsement of Senator John Edwards.
Draft Gore News Hampshire is encouraging all its members and voters across the state sharing their strong environmental values to vote for Edwards in tomorrow’s primary election.
For six months, Draft Gore New Hampshire had been organizing an effort to encourage New Hampshire voters write in Nobelist Al Gore’s name on the primary ballot.
“As an organization, we quickly came to realize that more aggressive national and worldwide leadership is needed to find workable solutions to the critical issues of global warming and climate change,” said Farrell Seiler, state coordinator for Draft Gore New Hampshire.
“The planet can no longer afford ‘politics as usual’ in Washington - where the nuclear and fossil fuel industries dominate energy policy making to the exclusion of economic programs designed to develop energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy programs.
“We came to the unanimous decision that John Edwards has the courage to bring about changes in the way decisions are made in Washington.”
Draft Gore New Hampshire was organized in June 2007 and grew to include more than 2,000 members throughout the state. It is a 100 percent grassroots effort by New Hampshire voters concerned about the impact of global warming on America, and the world."

As you all know, John has been steadfastly opposed to the expansion of nuclear generation. Some of you may not remember that the southern part of New Hampshire had been identified about 25 years ago as a potential nuclear dump site. This commitment by him regarding nuclear power is very important.
Of equal importance and which I find particularly encouraging are his proposed farm conservation policies.
I would like to thank the members of "Draft Gore" for their kind endorsement and confidence in John Edwards.

Be part of the Draft Gore '08 campaign!
What? You're kidding!
Barack Obama is the frontrunner even after New Hampshire. Teary eyed Hillary was playing on emotions, but the rest of the way will prove who is Presidential material. Barack Obama can hold his own and then some in this race for the Presidency. Just watch and see.
John Edwards will be getting further behind and he is not electable.
Unity
I just posted this below. I think we have to unite right now more than at any time. Let's think of a way to get the word out to Gore to endorse Obama and actively campaign for him. It could make a huge difference and ACTUALLY bring good things to this party, finally !!!
My original email below:
The best way to create the greatest Gore impact is to launch a campaign for him to endorse Barack Obama. Obama will unite the campaign in the same way that Gore would, if Gore wanted to run. And, who knows, maybe Gore would be interested in being Obama's VP.
We need to build momentum. Spread the word, write letters to Gore. His endorsement will be huge for Obama and will unite two of the most impressive Democrats, both of whom have visions we can finally believe in.
