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?

http://algore.com/cards.html Dear Theresa,
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:

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
