Al Gore To Speak Out Today Against Repubs and the "Nuclear Option"

From U.S. Newswire

News Advisory:

-- Former Vice President Gore to Deliver Major Policy Speech: Republican Attempt to Force Judicial Nominations a "Poison Pill for American Democracy"

-- Speech Accompanied by MoveOn PAC Rallies in Over Forty States, TV Ad of Stampeding Elephants

WHAT: MoveOn PAC Media Advisory for Noon, Wednesday, April 27th

Former Vice President Al Gore, in his first major policy address since the election, will address MoveOn PAC members about Republican attempts to appoint radical judges to courts across the country. The speech, coming on what could be the eve of Majority Leader Bill Frist's attempt to break over 200 years of tradition and eliminate the filibuster of judicial nominations, will keynote a day of action that will include rallies in over forty states and release of a new television ad.

Gore will lay out the role of the filibuster and its important role in American democracy. Furthermore, he will explain how this latest move by the Republican party is an historic threat to the health and vitality of America and could perhaps be the beginning of the end of meaningful debate in the U.S. Senate.

WHO: Former Vice President Al Gore

MoveOn PAC

WHAT: Policy speech on judicial nominations

When: Wednesday, April 27 at noon

Where: Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill

400 New Jersey Avenue, NW (between D and E Streets on New Jersey Ave, NW), Washington D.C.

Also, please email and call CSPAN to ask them to cover this much needed speech!

1. Al Gore for once gets up and actually does something big..
It seemed like for a long time he was sitting on the sidelines...Having his own 2000 election stolen must have taken some of the fight out of him. Its good to know he is preparing to denounce this evil in public and join John Kerry at the House for opposing the fillbuster removal.

There is no way Senator Frist should attempt to ram this through, if he cares anything at all for the backlash coming.
