Gore Supporters Organizing New Hampshire Write-in Vote

    LITTLETON, N.H., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After months of
 speculation, Al Gore's name will be on the presidential ballot in the
 nation's first primary.
 
     A bi-partisan group of New Hampshire voters - unhappy with the timid
 approach to halting global warming by the primary candidates - is
 organizing a three-week grassroots campaign to write in Gore's name on the
 primary ballot.
 
     "A write-in vote for Al Gore in the New Hampshire Primary is a vote for
 bold political leadership to stem global warming," says Farrell S. Seiler,
 who is coordinating the write-in campaign for the non-partisan group Draft
 Gore New Hampshire. (http://www.DraftGoreNH.com)
 
     "New Hampshire voters can't wait for the primary candidates from either
 party to make climate change the organizing theme of their presidential
 campaigns," says Seiler, who is also chairman of the New Hampshire Wind
 Energy Association.
 
     "Sadly, not one of the Republican or Democratic candidates is seriously
 addressing the gravity of the planetary emergency," says the group.
 
     "We need aggressive carbon reduction strategies coupled with plans to
 transform our economy from reliance on dirty fossil fuels to clean energy
 technologies," says Seiler.
 
     "Courageous leadership is needed to press for mandatory targets for
 carbon reduction, to advocate for a moratorium on new coal-fired plants and
 to push for quick progress on the Bali negotiations," says the group.
 
     "Al Gore's name will be placed on the ballot by New Hampshire voters
 themselves," says Seiler. "All it takes is a pencil."
 
     By writing in Al Gore's name on the ballot, voters in New Hampshire can
 send all the candidates an unmistakable message: stronger political action
 is needed to stem the devastating consequences of greenhouse gas emissions.
 
     New Hampshire election law permits the name of any person to be written
 in on the ballot itself. Any New Hampshire resident can register and vote
 in the primary on the same day.
 
     Opinion polls over the past few months continue to demonstrate that Al
 Gore's popularity remains very high in New Hampshire. One poll showed him
 getting 32% of the primary vote - ahead of frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
 
     Volunteers are identifying Gore supporters, compiling voter lists,
 setting up telephone banks, raising funds, and preparing to turn out
 thousands of Gore voters.
 
     Draft Gore New Hampshire predicts that a dedicated group of committed
 volunteers can deliver thousands of votes for Al Gore - a political message
 on global warming that can't be ignored.
 
     Draft Gore, New Hampshire! is a 100% volunteer, grassroots organization
 of Granite State voters concerned about the future of our state, our nation
 and our planet.
