America now stands at a crossroads of unparalleled historical significance, when it will once again rest upon the actions of our people to decide its fate. It is with this purpose in mind that we, Patriots for Gore, remain committed to securing delegates for Al Gore in primaries across our country in 2004. We will continue to support his vision for America through our outreach to the American people, and by becoming involved with those issues that affect our nation and our world.
NH Write-In Campaign Phone Banks Are Now Open!
As of December 26, 2003 we have opened a phone bank to contact registered voters in NH about the write-in campaign to draft Mr. Gore. In addition, we will be running ads in the local newspapers and radio stations in order to secure the needed amount of votes to make the 15% threshold. We will run a four-week blitz of phone calls, letter writing, and grass-roots organizing like never before.
In addition to NH, we are contacting other states where the Secretary of State can add Mr. Gore's name to the ballot at our request. These states would include MA, CA, and CT. There are also write-in campaigns taking hold in WI, TN (uncommitted slot), VT, and RI.
This effort is intended to make sure that Al Gore has a proper delegation at the Democratic Convention this year. We feel that a deadlocked convention is a strong possibility. By having a Gore delegation present it will be much more likely that the convention will turn to Mr. Gore as a consensus candidate, as multiple national and regional polls have shown him to be over the last 8 months.
We respect Mr. Gore's decision to endorse Howard Dean. And indeed, we respect and admire all of the announced candidates. However, that does nothing to diminish our resolve in working for the only man we believe can truly turn the tide as this nation's next President.
Throughout the course of our nation's history there have been many challenges faced by the American people. These challenges, while seemingly daunting at the time, were met and overcome with a firm resolve, conviction, faith, and an irrepressible spirit that charted our course to preserve the principles we all cherish.
We refuse to deal any longer with a status quo that enslaves the soul and stifles the voice. We know Mr. Gore understood this all too well when he said: "A vote is not just a piece of paper. A vote is a human voice, a statement of human principle, and we must not let those voices be silenced."
