This was not a campaign speech
Today Al Gore gave a speech that was a call to action to American citizens to defend the constitution. Speaking to an audience at DAR Constitution Hall that was 75% full, Gore gave a speech laying out how Bush has set himself up as a tyrant. He specifically called on members of the House and Senate to uphold your oath of office. His voice was nothing like when he was candidate, instead he spoke mostly on a low tone, sometimes with righteous anger. He had clearly made a decision to speak thought the applause lines in keeping with the seriousness of his purpose. I will give a further report later. Text of prepared remarks. |

Al Gore's speech was world class. It was very thoughtful and well researched. It wasn't a political speech in a way. It was about facts. And Gore had lots of examples and facts to describe to the folks in attendance. People loved it!
Alice and Paul, I have a feeling that you both watched history unfold right in front your eyes today.
