My husband did this video.
Comments welcome.
Thanks!:hi:

1. Great!

Only pic I missed tho was one taken when he took his own crew to New Orleans to rescue people. Other than that - just great. I hope he runs!

2. I loved it!!

Absolutely wonderful! :applause:

[druidqueen]

3. Amen!!!!

We need him now more than ever!!!

[zalinda]

4. Really good except

One is really more my thing...........change pissed to angry......pissed denotes an un-classy way of speaking. I know a lot of people use it and it's been on TV, but in as something as important as this, it kind of takes away from it.

The second is "your a human being", it should be "you're a human being" as a contraction for "you are a human being", your denotes ownership.

Oh, one other very small thing. I noticed that every picture shown was different except one, which was the father and son one. It is more noticeable because it is in black and white.

Knit-picky, yes, but I want all of us to present the best face forward on something this important.

7. Agreed.

I very much agree with zalinda. It's a good start and the song adds a great deal to the presentation.

But there are errors that need correcting. I noticed "your" instead of "you're" as well. Also, the text at the end has some odd capitalizations and a series of commas that should be periods. Anyone who goes to this much trouble for Al Gore should not leave himself open to criticism, e.g., "Gore supporters don't know how to use English."

I don't mean to sound harsh -- just trying to help. It's a commendable effort. You might switch out those duplicate photos with the one of Al and Tipper in a field shortly after they were married, or one with his own children.

Thank you from all of us who support a Gore presidency!

9. I liked the video and your comments are valid

:thumbsup: to you both.

[lildreamer316]

20. No, you are right--

I had gotten on him about the misspelling; but I think he forgot about it.
I agree about possibly changing "pissed" also; we will confer.
Thanks for the input!
(He and I are actually in a competition; I am going to try to put together another vid of the same subject with the song and totally diff. pictures; as soon as I get the hang of the slideshow tool--hee hee).

5. Great thank you

[RestoreGore]

6. So when are we all getting together to impeach Bush?

And the only comment I have about this is associating An Inconvenient Truth to a political campaign without his consent.

[dalaigh lllama]

8. He's still my one and only viable candidate

I just can't even consider anyone else until he says absolutely he will not run. Only one able to even begin to clean up the Bushturd mess, IMO.

PLEASE run, Al!

[mopinko]

10. ditto

[cascadiance]

18. The only other person I wouldn't question would be Russ Feingold...

But he's already said he's not running. Still hoping for Gore/Feingold at the end!

[emmadoggy]

19. DITTO!

11. I keep wondering if a time travel sci fi flick in the future will be made...

... that depicts a plot of an alternate reality where someone from the future comes back into time a year or so before the 2000 election and looks to assassinate a SCOTUS judge or something like that to change the course of events and have Al Gore become president in 2000 instead then. If in the future we face a more harsh future with potentially apocalyptic results as a result of climate change, etc., even with Al Gore as president because of our inaction during the previous 8 years, I could see people speculating on this, especially if Al Gore becomes president in 2008 and starts us down the right path (and hopefully not too late!).

It would be a fundamental morality play. If you are another time traveller sent back to stop this "incursion", knowing that playing with past events is something that generally is not wanted, and in this case perhaps the event being changed is someone's death to save all of mankind later, what would you do, if you know by stopping him you could be sentencing the earth to destruction. Perhaps work with them to find an alternate way to change the events to yield the same result (Al Gore winning then without a SCOTUS judge dying).

Al Gore running and winning now hopefully will prevent this ugly future from happening!

12. God, I miss an honest man to vote for! One observation on the video:

it needs some Florida 2000 theft imagery - maybe by taking out Joementum.

[lildreamer316]

Yep I think so too.

I'm personally not so happy with some of the picture qualities anyway; and I did catch the Joe L. Pic and thought maybe not so much with that. I'll confer with him and see what we can do.

13. I consider everything after

December 12, 2000 to be illegal. More and more revelations confirm that '04 was stolen as well. I believe, since Gore was elected in '00, restoring him to the presidency will go a very long way to healing this country. We have been floundering the last 6+ years. It needs to be made right.

(ditto the constructive criticisms - good video) Signed the petition first time I saw the link

14. At this point only if he wants it himself without being harrassed into it...

And only when this toxic system is changed by a people who really give a damn for it and do not just say this to get revenge. It is also a shame then that people didn't feel this urgency in 2004 to "make it right" when they were once again cheering the status quo. But of course, the polls didn't tell them to do it so there you have it. And those few of us who did try to "restore" him then because we had faith in this decrepid system found out just how politically toxic this entire process is and how much work needs to be done by US first to root it out in order to make it right. Videos are all nice and well and good and are surely more fun and exciting in lieu of doing that rooting out, (and picking the right song is really sooo important.) But what good does it do in the end by pushing him into the same system that stole it from him without us learning from the past? He shouldn't have to go through that again. Personally, I think his actions of late have more than already made it right but I guess they have been too nuanced for many to see.

15. Dead giveaways he used Windows Movie maker

That default blue background for text. And the default red strip for white text. Google image search "gradient", or a add a color, "red gradient".

http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=+red+gradient&btnG=Search+Images


"teal gradient"

If you like the idea, Import these backgrounds into Windows Movie maker.


Some of the long shot pictures ... also show a close up of Gore.

Here's my most recent video made with Windows Movie maker. I think I have lost that generic Windows Movie maker look.

I'm a sucker for anything GORE, KNR.

[bjobotts]

16. Get rid of Lieberman shot

Yeah me too...sucker for anything on Al Gore. Wish we could get him to run. But I would get rid of the shot with him and Lieberman after what he has turned into. Also there are shots of Gore in LA after Katrina but over all I really liked the video. Great piece. Now if we can just get Gore to run!!!!!!

[marlakay]

21. Loved it but agree about Lieberman

I kept thinking reminding people of him would be a turn off but I loved the rest of it....

[lildreamer316]

22. Oh, thanks so much!!

We will try a second run probably soon; 'cause I found some new pics I think we would like to use.
Really appreciate the hints; he's used to the Win one but I am a newbie.

[FogerRox]

24. If you want PM me, its for a good cause, AL GOre

[lovuian]

17. Love it Thanks

Gore was our President
