Breaking: Latest Gore speech centerpiece of MoveOn PAC campaign
GNN -- Al Gore's April 27th speech denouncing the GOP's threatened "nuclear option" to pack the courts with radical right wing judicial nominees will be the basis of MoveOn PAC's latest ad campaign.
In an email to MoveOn PAC members nationwide, the advocacy group announced that the ad, titled "AbsolutePower Corrupts Absolutely/The Attack On Our Courts", will run in the New YorkTimes.

Please note, that's not an endorsement of Al Gore for president in 2008. Nor is it not an endorsement. It's information. I'll avoid endorsing anyone at this site. Members are free to endorse whomever they desire. But Green Party, or other third party members, don't need to worry that they'll be coming here, provided the site is still up and I'm still involved, during that election (or 2006) to be hectored by me as to whom they should vote.
In any election cycle, if third party members feel their candidate isn't getting enough attention, they'll be right. The mainstream media isn't overly interested in third party candidates. So when we enter into an election cycle, if you ever feel that your candidate is being ignored, send a link, write something to share with the community (noting that you want to be quoted) and it will go up.
But I'm going to attempt to avoid endorsements. (I think I'll be able to do that. I decided on John Kerry in March of 2003 but didn't share that with most people around me. Many were Dean supporters or undecided. With the undecided, I printed up information on the various candidates in the Dem primary as well as anything I could find on the Green Party.)
People need to make up their own minds and we exist as a community having a dialogue. If in an election cycle, I seem to be slipping into endorsement, e-mail the site to keep me on my toes.
That doesn't mean if someone makes a remark saying back off choice or step away from support for gay rights or labor doesn't matter . . . that I won't make comments. But I'm going to try to avoid being a cheerleader for anyone candidate. (I think that's possible during the primaries. I'm less certain of that during a general election so I'm counting on third party members to keep me on my toes.)
