Write to Al Gore

Marie Fontaine — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:06:37 EDT

If only Al Gore would endorse Obama before the Pennsylvania primary we could finally put this baby to bed. I've already written to him. Here's his address:

The Honorable Al Gore

2100 West End Avenue Ste. 620

Nashville, TN 37203

Let's all ask him to stand up for the guy who wants to end politics as usual. Gore specifically decries distractive politics in his book, The Assault on Reason. Remind him of that.

super delegates

I've been writing to super delegates asking them not to over turn the will of the people. Most of them don't respond. But I think some are listening. I just got a letter back from Dave Freudenthal yesterday thanking me for taking the time to write to him, and today he endorsed. Hey, you never know. If there is any method to my madness... watch Brian Schweitzer, the governor of Montana, I got a hand written card from him today. You can find the list of super delegates and whom they are endorsing right here. The more unity in our voice, the more likely they are to listen.

BIG OIL

Marie Fontaine — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:02:16 EDT

I have been reading about the controversy because Obama has recieved roughly $200,000 in donations from people who work for the oil companies. We know that these are just donations from people who support him like we do, but it makes it look like there might be a conflict of interests. So I have a suggestion, why doesn't he just give the money back? The publicity would be worth more than $200,000. And it would be much cheaper in the long run than what it might cost to combat the misperception with commericals.
