“Dear MoveOn member,

Thank you for supporting Al Gore’s call to produce 100% of our electricity from cheap, clean renewable energy sources within 10 years. The buzz is building fast, with thousands of people signing on every hour.

Now we have an incredible chance to build on that excitement. This week, the Obama campaign is holding nationwide “Platform Meetings” to seek input from the grassroots on the Democratic Party’s issue positions.

If enough of us support Gore’s challenge at these events, we can make his plan a part of the Democratic Party’s platform—giving it a major boost.”

um– i guess i wonder why it needs such a boost with the obama crowd. gore said he sat down with obama and spoke with him about these challenges. anyone with half of a brain knows it’s heading in the right direction- creating new jobs while shoring up our aging and decrepit infrastructure and creating a sustainable energy source while not polluting up the planet. win-win-win. why do we have to sell it so hard to obama?

perhaps we should go to the ‘platform’ meetings and ask that question.

i guess i wonder why more people aren’t listening to the al gore’s and the dennis kucinich’s out there. i mean the biblical folks can grasp the concept of the ‘voice crying out in the wilderness’ all by his onesy. we have a real possibility to fight for our planet. we have a slim chance- but a chance nonetheless- to stave off irreparable damage to the only home that is sustainable for human life- and we have to badger the so-called progressive, democratic nominee into it?

if any out there still believe- i think that there might be some swampland that hasn’t been filled in to make room for developments- that i can sell you.
