A Message from Vice President Al Gore

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?

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 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

There 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?

I'm looking forward to working with you on this monumental task.

Thank you,

Al Gore
