Al, I hope you don’t mind me calling you Al. I want to start off by confessing to you that I did not vote for you in 2000, but instead I voted for Nader. I honestly thought you would win with or without me and I was hoping the Green Party would get 15%. Like most, at the time, I found your personality lacking, and the thought Tipper and Joe Liberman censoring everything made me shudder.
I was living in Texas at the time good ol’ “W” was our governor. I am not a native Texan, but rather a liberal carpetbagger from Michigan. Although I knew he was an idiot. There was no way for me to have guessed that the nation would be seduced by the former high school cheerleader, draft dodging, village idiot that was our Governor, but alas they were. Of course it took a little election tampering by his brother to secure him victory, but the Oval Office was his.
As you know the last 6 years have been a total cluster. We’ve been lied to and dragged into a senseless war in Iraq. The Justice Department is a complete mess. The country is still racked with paranoia almost 6 years after 9/11. What the country needs is a strong, tell it like it is leader to repair the constitution.
I am admittedly not up to full speed on the vast contention the Democratic Part has running. I know Hillary and Obama are front runners, but the way I see it any country that would elect good ol’ “W” not once, but twice isn’t going to elect the first woman or African American in to office.
That’s why I am writing you this letter. I saw your movie “An Inconvenient Truth” and all I have to say is “Wow!”. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but that film showed that you have passion and personality besides that you’ve got a couple of other things going for you: 1) You’re a rock star in environmental circles. 2) You’ve been a vocal opponent to war from the start. 3) Unlike the most of the other candidates you didn’t vote to approve the war. Because it doesn’t matter what they say now when the time came for them to stand up for America they didn’t.
So, in closing, I am begging you to run for President in 2008. Hop on the tread mill, what you didn’t think I would notice those extra pounds, and get back into shape. The fight is on and I think this time Florida could fall at your feet if you’d only run. And don’t let your “handlers” make you all stiff like in 2000. Let the people see the guy that’s pissed the ice caps are melting because we need that guy to help make America great again.
Sincerely,
Jeremy
