Patriots for Gore Opens Phone Bank In New Hampshire
On December 26, 2003, Patriots for Gore opened a phone bank to contact registered voters in NH about the write-in campaign to support Mr. Gore. More than 1500 voters have been contacted as of Monday, January 5, and based on the feedback we are receiving, we are very encouraged and will continue until the polls have closed on Tuesday, January 27.
In addition, we will be running ads in the local newspapers and on radio stations beginning January 12 in order to secure the needed number of votes to make the 15% threshold. We will run a four-week blitz of phone calls, letter writing, and grass-roots organizing like never before.
To aid in this effort we have set up a local phone number and an email address to supply voters with additional information. Voters in NH can call: 603-430-VOTE (8683) or email us as at WriteInAlGore04@aol.com.
In addition to NH, we are contacting other states where the Secretary of State can add Mr. Gore's name to the ballot at our request. These states include MA, CA, and CT. There are also write-in campaigns taking hold in WI, TN (uncommitted slot), VT, and RI.
This effort is intended to make sure that Al Gore has a proper delegation at the Democratic Convention this year. We feel that a deadlocked convention is a strong possibility. By having a Gore delegation present, it will be much more likely that the convention will turn to Mr. Gore as a consensus candidate, as multiple national and regional polls have shown him to be over the last 8 months.
Patriots for Gore is a newly formed PAC, a fully FEC registered and reporting campaign organization, headed by Jan Moore.
According to Moore, Patriots for Gore was established shortly after the Dean endorsement to give Gore supporters across the nation a place to come together and continue to support Mr. Gore's vision for America. Moore said, “We respect Mr. Gore's decision to endorse Howard Dean, and indeed, we respect and admire all of the announced candidates. This, however, does nothing to diminish our resolve in working for the only man we believe can truly turn the tide as this nation's next President. We refuse to deal any longer with a status quo that enslaves the soul and stifles the voice.”
We know Mr. Gore understood this all too well when he said: "A vote is not just a piece of paper. A vote is a human voice, a statement of human principle, and we must not let those voices be silenced."
