Al Gore Says Take Election Day Off for Obama

Barack Obama and his campaign REALLY want you to take off from work and school on Election Day.

Watch the video appeal.

Al Gore has sent out his own appeal to voters -- DON'T WORK OR GO TO SCHOOL ON ELECTION DAY.

Hello Mary,

By the narrowest of margins, we lost our chance to elect John Kerry president in 2004 and cut short the disastrous course of the past 4 years.

In 2000 and 2004, just a small difference in voter turnout would have made the difference. This time around, that difference could be you.

That's why I'm asking you to consider taking the day off to volunteer on Election Day -- Tuesday, November 4th -- to help carry Barack Obama to victory.

I know that this isn't possible for everyone, but if you can, I'd like for you to sign up to get out the vote on Election Day so that we can finally bring the change this country needs.

With so much at stake, your phone calls or door knocking could be the difference between setting our country back on the right path or another four years of dangerously irresponsible policies.

The passion and enthusiasm of Barack's movement for change is so exciting, and so important. But it will only count if we turn that passion into votes on Election Day.

And as strong as we are right now, it could still come down to a few votes in one or two battleground states.

It's up to each of us, right now, to commit to doing everything we can.

We're hoping you are able to give one day. You can help make history in this election, please go to http://my.barackobama.com/theday.

Thank you,
Al Gore

I think encouraging people to skip work and school sends the wrong message, a terrible message.

However, I guess it does fit in the sort of society that Obama and his Leftists cohorts are promoting -- one that doesn't value individual effort and achievement.

Soon in Obama World all businesses will be required to give workers six weeks of paid vacation.

That wouldn't be such a bad thing. Most of the rest of the developed world does that after a number of years service. Productivity doesn't suffer..... and you know what? Everyone benefits.

United States of France. That's a good one! I suppose in a way that is what we are considering the French were critical to our winning the American Revolution. Let's never forget it.... oops! Methinks some have!
