Gore Speaking Out on Major Domestic, Foreign Policy Issues

Within 72 hours of receiving the Nobel Prize, former Vice President Al Gore began speaking out visibly on critical issues affecting all Americans.

In videos appearing on his company’s web site, Gore discusses Iraq, health care and the constitutional protection of our right to privacy.

“Al Gore has many concerns that touch the lives of all Americans,” says Farrell Seiler, State Coordinator of the draft Gore effort in New Hampshire.

Gore wants to get out of Iraq “as quickly as possible,”expand universal health insurance to cover all Americans as “a matter of right” and require that executive branch “follow the requirements of the Constitution.”

The complete text of Gore’s comments are available on the Draft Gore New Hampshire web site.

On Iraq:
“We are becoming a magnet We ought to withdraw as quickly as possible while keeping an eye on the obligation we have not to make an already terrible situation even worse in the manner of our leaving.”

On Health Care:
“Health care is a right. I strongly support universal, single payer, government provided or government funded, health care.”

On Protecting Privacy:
“Americans deserve more protection against the government being able to eavesdrop on our telephone conversations, on our email conversations and private conversations.”
