Bipartisan Support for the Planet

Al Gore is mixing things up. This is cool! He is launching a $300 million ad campaign putting famous rivals together in support of lowering green-house gases. He used his own proceeds from his movie, his Nobel prize award, and other donations to fund the project. The first spots will bring together a prominent Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, and a prominent Republican, Newt Gingrich; a clergyman on the left, the Rev. Al Sharpton, and a clergyman on the right, the Rev. Pat Robertson; and country singers with sharply differing ideologies, the Dixie Chicks and Toby Keith.

Nice touch Mr. Gore and bravo to the participants. We need more of this. People need to know this isn't a partisan issue. Global warming doesn't kill along any party lines or with religious bias.

Wow - this is REALLY great! Al Gore gets major kudos for this - a smart move, and a necessary one. I must say I am surprised that Pat Robertson was willing to get behind this, but pleasantly surprised.
