That's pretty good advice. When it comes to environment, there are few voices stronger, more knowledgeable or more compelling than that of Vice President Gore. In a new TV ad for John Kerry's Senate re-election campaign, Gore points to the Senator's 30 year history of environmental activism.
Actually, it was a bit longer than that. John Kerry was an environmental champion long before 2007, when the Kerrys wrote This Moment on Earth and Sen. Kerry and Newt Gingrich debated climate change (and Newt actually recommended the Kerrys' book), long before he was endorsed in 2004 by the LCV and the Sierra Club, and even before 1990, when the Senator and Teresa met at an Earth Day rally or 1992, when they again met at the Earth Summit in Rio.
As Al notes, Senator Kerry's environmental roots go back decades. Back, in fact, to 1970 when the young Vietnam veteran was involved in the first Earth Day in Massachusetts.
Beachmom pointed out in a Daily Kos diary that the LCV has again endorsed Sen. Kerry, noting:
" ... his unsurpassed leadership on clean air, safe drinking water, and open space issues make him an invaluable environmental leader in Congress."

The truth, in this case, is not inconvenient. It's just the truth. John Kerry is the strongest environmental voice in the United States Senate, and has been for a very long time.
After you're done listening to Al, be sure to listen to Hillary who gave a brilliant speech last night on Day Two of the Dem Convention. Nicely done, Senator Clinton. Senator Kerry is speaking tonight on national security, so you'll want to make sure you're tuned in for Day Three.

I am looking forward to hearing Sen Kerry rally the dems tonight. I hope Pres. Clinton rises to the occasion in his speech. But Sen Kerry is a sure thing - showing us the way to a better future for our Country.
