AL GORE Foreign Policy Speech, This Coming Sunday:
From email and FYI --
Dear MoveOn Member,
In June, twenty thousand MoveOn members interviewed each other by phone to help us explore the values underlying our
work together. One striking theme emerged: the deep concern Americans have with the Bush administration's attacks on our
cherished liberties, in the name of security. Since June, we've been looking for a powerful way to respond to this clear mandate, and when former Vice President Gore asked us to co-host a policy address on Freedom and Security, we jumped at the chance.
You are invited to view this important speech on Sunday, November 9 at 2pm EASTERN by web cast, or on Link TV. In
Washington DC, this event will be attended by local MoveOn members and by members of our partner in this effort, the
American Constitution Society. Unfortunately, all seats for the event are filled. But we encourage you to tune in this Sunday, at 2pm Eastern, by going to:
moveon.org
The program will be broadcast live on Link TV, the national television network available on DIRECTV (channel 375) and
DISH Network (channel 9410). C-SPAN will likely broadcast the speech as well, as long as another news event doesn't
supercede the speech on Sunday.
In this, his third major speech on the Administration's response to terrorism, Mr. Gore will describe the Administration's assault on our civil liberties as un-American and will charge that the Bush/Ashcroft attack on the Constitution is actually a smokescreen that obscures the Administration's fundamental failure to meaningfully protect our national security, and that their efforts have
weakened rather than strengthened America.
In August, Mr. Gore delivered a speech sponsored by MoveOn that opened a space for other leaders to speak out against the Bush Administration's deliberate use of false impressions to mislead the nation on war, taxes, the economy and the environment. That speech did nothing less than shift the terms of the national debate, and we expect this speech to have as big an impact.
Again, here are the details:
