Gore ties to Oxy and doesn't care if natives commit suicide. What a jerk. Questioning Gore's Integrity L O S A N G E L E S, March 6 — Al Gore says he’s the environmental candidate. He wrote a best-selling book on it, and it’s a central part of his presidential campaign. “I will not let you down,” stated Gore when he spoke at the League of Conservation Voters in New York on Feb. 24. “I will fight with everything I’ve got to protect the environment here in New York, all through our country, and around the world.” But all along the campaign trail, Gore is greeted by demonstrators who say he has betrayed the environmental cause when it comes to protecting native peoples. The story begins in a remote region of Colombia, where the U’wa people have threatened to commit mass suicide if U.S.-based Occidental Petroleum goes forward with plans to drill for oil on what the tribe claims are its traditional lands. The U’wa oppose the drilling because they fear it will violate the rain forest, which they consider sacred.
