Al Gore was the 45th Vice-President of the United States and served the state of Tennesse for 8 years in the US Congress and 8 years in the US Senate.
Since narrowly losing the 2000 Presidential Campaign (despite winning the popular vote), he has emerged as an international leader on global climate change and was one of the first national politicians to speak out in opposition to the war in Iraq.

Hi Gore/Obama '08! Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
The truth is starting to come out. During the election I kept saying Obama was just telling the American people what they wanted to hear. Now after the election Obama has not kept any promises. In fact he has done a 180 turn on many of his promises and now enforces as a matter of policy many of the Bush policies he criticised and promised to "Change." One so called veteran the Democrats relied on heavily during the election was Rick Strandlof. Mr. Strandlof was touted by the Democrats as an unfortunate veteran who was used and abused by the Bush Administration and its policies. He was on TV with Democratic candidates campaigning for Obama. He told how he had been forced to endure 3 tours of duty in Iraq because of Bush. he claimed that he had PTS and the Bush Administration was denying him Veterans assistance. He was the Democratic Parties poster child of everything that was wrong with the way Bush treated our heroes. Turns out it was all a lie. He was never in Iraq. He doesnt have PTS. He was never denied benefits. In fact, he has never even served in the military. He ralied people for the Democrats under a giant lie. There were no real patriotic veterans being used so extensively by the Democratic Party as much as the Party depended on his lies to dupe voters. The real truth would not have won votes that his lies won for the Democratic Party. Obama lied to us to gain power, and his party used their lying poster child veteran to get votes for him.
Am I the only person who has noticed that big distracting wart to the left of President Obamas nose. I would love to see Austin Powers trying to have a conversation with Obama without making it obvious that he is distracted by that giant wart.
To Saturnine Productions: You commented below that Bush is a war criminal. Has he been officially charged by any law enforcement agency as a war criminal? Is he currently under indictment, or even investigation by any official law enforcement agency for war crimes? If not, then I we can deduce that your defamation of a former President of the United States is merely your liberal opinion, and he should therefore be permitted to speak anywhere he is invited. You liberals are funny people. You are very liberal as long as everybody agrees with your opinion. The minute they don’t agree with you, or they do something you don’t agree with you become very fascist and seek to condemn them without due process and censure their freedom of speech. In your own written words Saturnine Productions you have done this. The next liberal idea on the table from the Obama Administration should alarm all patriots. The Obama Administration is currently entertaining the idea of “detaining” without charge, for up to ten (10) years people that law enforcement “suspects” may commit a crime. Nazi Germany did this. Communist Russia did this. Communist Cuba and North Korea do this. No civilized nation does this. Yet, your Socialist President Obama is entertaining the communist and fascist idea of imprisonment without charge. Liberals, fascists, communists, and atheists are basically the same people under different labels.
To President Obama and all the American voters he tricked into voting for him:
During the campaign and election I watched as the average minded Americans were duped my a masterful politician. I said Obamas campaign would be studied and mimicked by politicians and political campaigns for generations to come. Why was his campaign so masterful? Because he used every carpet bagging politicians tactics in the book. He told everybody, everything he thought they wanted to hear. Once elected he counted on the short memories of the average American, and the Obama can do no wrong mentality of his staunch liberal supporters. Once again he was correct. The bottom line is, what has “changed?” We are still in Iraq, we are sending more troops to Afghanistan, we are bombing Pakistan more now, than we did under Bush, Guantanamo is still open, military tribunals are once again supported by Obama, NAFTA is in full force, do not ask, do not tell is supported by Obama.
What has “changed”: We have printed more money than our children will ever be able to pay back. More guns and bullets have been sold than ever before in the history of this country. We spent $1.8 billion dollars ($1,800,000,000.00) on the Swine Flue. The Swine Flue is a very contagious, yet milder strain of flue than the common flue. 1000 people a year die in LA County alone from the common flue. Under 200 people world wide have died from the Swine Flue. Most of them had other health problems that contributed to their demise. Just another reason to spend money. Lot’s of money. We have profoundly apologized to many other nations time and time again for America. Iran, and North Korea think we are push overs so they are challenging us more, and the Taliban have launched newer and bigger offensives against our troops.
4. You were going to lead the way to a “greener” America. ~ Was your date night flight to New York City for dinner with your wife part of this greener strategy and example to the rest of us? Air Force 1 pumped more hydrocarbons into the atmosphere for that flight than I and my vehicles have pumped in over the last 10 years. Air Force 1 used more fuel for that 1 flight for you and your wife than my entire family has used over the last 10 years. That flight cost the tax payers over $300,000.00 and disrupted the local economy and traffic in New York City at great expense of income and time to the average New Yorker. Was this the right thing to do in such a bad economy? 5. What about NAFTA? Candidate Obama told us he would end or amend NAFTA. ~ President Obama defends and embraces NAFTA. First tell em what they want to hear. The govern under the do as I say, not as I do method.
President Obama, You are my President and I really want to support you. It is true I did not vote for you because I thought you were just telling us everything we wanted to hear in order to get elected. But once you were elected I put aside my feelings of mistrust and gave you my support. Unfortunately it appears that you duped millions of Americans who did vote for you. You campaigned on “Change.” So far the only “Change” I have seen is that you have printed more money in your first 100 days than every President put together since World War II. You have continuously apologized to other countries for America and Americans. I don’t need you apologizing for me. The rest of the world has benefited greatly from Americas monetary generosity, and the spilling of American blood to protect and defend them. Your promises to us: 1. You would end Do not ask, do not tell policy in the Military. ~ You now support and enforce this policy. 2. You would close Guantanamo and end the Military Tribunals. ~ You now support the Military Tribunals, and have postponed the closing of Guantanamo. 3. You would end renditions of detainees. ~ You are now seeking other countries to take the detainees. It seems even you know we can’t simply release these animals back into the general population so they can begin preying on innocent people again. 4. You were going to lead the way to a “greener” America. ~ Was your date night flight to New York City for dinner with your wife part of this greener strategy and example to the rest of us? Air Force 1 pumped more hydrocarbons into the atmosphere for that flight than I and my vehicles have pumped in over the last 10 years. Air Force 1 used more fuel for that 1 flight for you and your wife than my entire family has used over the last 10 years.

Should a war criminal be permitted to speak on the Fourth of July at Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello?
Right Now, Wherever You Are: The Thomas Jefferson Foundation, a private nonprofit, owns and operates Monticello with a professed mission of preservation and education. Call Monticello right now and ask them to uninvite Bush: (434) 984-9822. Then let the Daily Progress newspaper in Charlottesville know that you've done that: enewstips@dailyprogress.com
Or, assuming that doesn't work:
In Charlottesville on July 4th: Join us for a colorful nonviolent exercise of our First Amendment rights at 8:30 a.m. at the first parking lot on the right on Rt. 53 just east of Rt. 20. Or attend the event at Monticello, open to the public.
The Unitary Executive is scheduled to disgrace the grounds of Thomas Jefferson's house, Monticello, in Charlottesville, Va. During a July 4 naturalization ceremony, immigrants will swear to "support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic" at an event besmirched by the presence of the Constitution's leading domestic enemy.
Jefferson's Declaration of Independence from King George faulted him for harassment by his troops, elevating the military above civilian power, denying people a fair trial by jury by transporting them overseas to be tried on false accusations, and other abuses that have been matched by our current King George.
He has claimed the power to ignore laws, to rewrite laws, to adhere to secret laws, to discard habeas corpus, to spy without warrant, to detain without charge, to torture, to murder, and to lie the nation into wars of conquest. All citizens, old and new, have a duty to support and defend the Constitution, a document that requires the impeachment of a president as criminal and abusive as the current one.
Don't forget to keep voting and getting more friends and family to vote. Various organizations are going out to hold voter drives and your votes can make a strong voting weekend into a much larger force.
