Al Gore
We need to remake the Democratic party. We need to remake America.
Al Gore
We can believe in the future and work to achieve it and preserve it, or we can whirl blindly on, behaving as if one day there will be no children to inherit our legacy. The choice is ours the earth is in balance.
Al Gore

Al Gore
