«Do it because the ice is melting in the Arctic, in Greenland and all over the world, and unless we take on the climate crisis soon, we could cross a point of no return.
Do it because the war in Iraq is a disaster, and our brave men and women who are fighting and dying there need an honorable and speedy path home.
Do it because in the wealthiest nation in the world, there are millions of kids who can't go the doctor when they get sick because they don't have health care.
Do it because President Bush and this Congress have chipped away at our fundamental rights-rights guaranteed every citizen-that make our country a beacon of freedom. Do it because our government shouldn't be able to wire-tap innocent citizens without a warrant.
Do it because of Abu Ghraib. Do it to tell the world that America won't sanction torture-and we fire the politicians who do. That's the real no-brainer.
Do it because five years after September 11th, President Bush and the Republican Congress have made us all less safe.
But most of all, do it because the country we all love needs our help. Our democracy is in trouble. America needs you.»
Mensagem de Al Gore aos membros do movimento MoveOn.
