VP Al Gore Awarded Nobel Peace Prize

The Los Angeles County Democratic Party

Proudly Congratulates Vice President Al Gore

on being honored with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize

 

Gore, U.N. panel win Peace Prize
The former vice president shares the Nobel prize with the climate change committee
By Alan Zarembo, Los Angeles Times
Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo today for their campaigns against global warming. "His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change," the citation said. "He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."

GOVERNOR, VOTE US OUT OF IRAQ!

GOVERNOR, VOTE US OUT OF IRAQ!

LACDP urges every citizen to call or write the Governor immediately to ask that he sign Senate Bill 924 – the Vote Us Out bill. The measure would make California the first state in the nation to vote on whether President Bush should immediately withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq.

We need every Californian who’s sick and tired of waiting for George Bush to bring our troops home to urge the Governor to sign Vote Us Out today!

In his own letter to the Governor, Senator Perata reminded him of his public statements in opposition to the war – and his longstanding commitment to put important questions to a vote of the people. “Your statements urging an end to the war garnered national attention,” Perata wrote. “Regrettably, the voices of everyday Californians – mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters of soldiers serving in Iraq – aren’t being heard.”

Vote Us Out gives us a voice in bringing this war to an end. Please, call the Governor now – and urge your friends and relatives to join this effort!

P.S. We know that George Bush and his allies will pressure the Governor to veto Vote Us Out – that’s why the Governor has to hear the other side – from Californians who want an end to this war!

P.P.S. Here’s how to contact the Governor:

By Phone: (916) 445-2841
By Fax: (916) 445-4633
To email the Governor online, go to: http://gov.ca.gov/interact

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814

Please call or write now! Vote Us Out of Iraq!
