Former Vice President Gore to Deliver Major Policy Speech Against Repubs

From U.S. Newswire

News Advisory:

-- Former Vice President Gore to Deliver Major Policy Speech: Republican Attempt to Force Judicial Nominations a "Poison Pill for American Democracy"

-- Speech Accompanied by MoveOn PAC Rallies in Over Forty States, TV Ad of Stampeding Elephants

WHAT: MoveOn PAC Media Advisory for Noon, Wednesday, April 27th

Former Vice President Al Gore, in his first major policy address since the election, will address MoveOn PAC members about Republican attempts to appoint radical judges to courts across the country. The speech, coming on what could be the eve of Majority Leader Bill Frist's attempt to break over 200 years of tradition and eliminate the filibuster of judicial nominations, will keynote a day of action that will include rallies in over forty states and release of a new television ad.

Gore will lay out the role of the filibuster and its important role in American democracy. Furthermore, he will explain how this latest move by the Republican party is an historic threat to the health and vitality of America and could perhaps be the beginning of the end of meaningful debate in the U.S. Senate.

WHO: Former Vice President Al Gore

MoveOn PAC

WHAT: Policy speech on judicial nominations

When: Wednesday, April 27 at noon

Where: Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill

400 New Jersey Avenue, NW (between D and E Streets on New Jersey Ave, NW), Washington D.C.

Also, please email and call CSPAN to ask them to cover this much needed speech!

1. Carried live on Channel 214, Cable Access for Scenectady.
No speech is "major" if the Corporate Media isn't telling America about it.

4. EXCELLENT!
I look forward to it.

One side benefit of having my new profession dry up in 2001/2002, was that I had plenty of time on my hands to attend all but one of President Gore's speeches in New York. Fiery!

Looking forward to this one.

2. Gore and Kerry should say, "We could have done better."
And we all know how bad bushco has done. (Heck, anybody could have done better.)

5. Let's hear it for the real President of the United States
there is no doubt he would be into his second term had the 2000 election not been stolen.

10. Go, Gore! Show this compromised party how to fight!
If Kerry had shown even one tenth of the fire that Gore has shown since being rebuffed by the party, we probably wouldn't be staring into the abyss right now.

For that matter this reborn Gore probably couldn't have lost in 2000, either.

As it is the Second Coming of Albert proves that a man who behaved like a mouse for so many years can roar like a tiger once outside of the party.

All the more reason we need his voice now. It's a fire that can illuminate the way for politicians too blind or cowardly to see for themselves. And good for MoveOn.org, which has become a useful force for resistance in an era when we have no effective elected opposition to Bushism.
