DC Draft Gore Prepared to put Al Gore on Primary Ballot


DC Draft Gore

Organizers of DC Draft Gore have decided to continue the nationwide trend and will gather the necessary signatures to place former Vice-President Al Gore on the district's primary ballot next year. In addition to the 1,000 signatures that must be collected from registered Democratic Party voters, Al Gore must submit a candidate affidavit. "We already have many volunteers ready and raring to go start the petition process once the proper forms become available on October 12th," said James Skoufis, one of the drive's organizers.

The District of Columbia would only be the most recent of many efforts nationwide to put the Oscar, Emmy, and perhaps soon-to-be Nobel Peace Prize winning statesman on their primary ballot. Michigan, California, New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Illinois, Washington, among other states already have petition drives underway. "He was the first major American politician to oppose the Iraq War, he has single-handedly made climate change a global priority, and, lets face it, has already won a presidential election before," says Nelson Jacobson, the group's founder.
