Chicago is hosting an anti-war demonstration this Saturday, October 27. This is a great opportunity for us make a final push to get Al Gore on the ballot in Illinois for the primary February 5th. The filing deadline is coming up on November 5th, so this may be our last major event to collect signatures, but attendance should be massive and if each one of us were to print out and make copies of the nominating petition, we could get the signatures we need to have Gore's name on our ballot!

We need 3000 signatures for Gore's name to be on the Illinois ballot... and we are nowehere near that total.
Our message is a simple one for anybody who might not understand the connection: if Al Gore were in the office to which the country elected him, we would not be mired down in Iraq in the first place!
The kick-off rally is at 1:30 at Union Park, at Lake & Ashland.
The march steps off at 2:30
The gathering rally is at Federal Plaza at 4.

Be part of the Draft Gore '08 campaign!
anyone show up at Saturday's demonstration?
Did anyone else take part in the anti-war demonstration in Chicago on Saturday?
I was there with my petition pages. I collected over 100 signatures without really breaking a sweat. There were thousands of people there, and I'm sure if we had shown up in sufficient numbers with enough forms, we could have gathered the requisite 5000 signatures to place Gore on the Illinois ballot.
There were other campaigns represented there-- Richardson, Kucinich, and Ron Paul. Ron Paul had the largest showing, to my amazement.
