Draft Gore 2008 PAC

Al will speak at the National Museum of the American Indians "Live Earth" concert on Saturday, directly after the welcoming speech by Tim Johnson (Mohawk), the acting director of the museum.

We spent our "spring break" helping Stacy Leeds and Raymond Vann, the reform candidates, in the (always) problematic elections of the Cherokee Nation, so we're not exactly happy that Al is on the same bill as the last remaining of an original six Jack Abramoff client/contributor tribal executives who still control Indian Gaming operations and rubber stamp legislatures, and who's single-handedly brought the Congressional Black Caucus to the point of bringing a bill "To sever United States' government relations with the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma until such time as the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma restores full tribal citizenship to the Cherokee Freedmen ..." to the floor of the House.

Because DG08 is an non-connected campaign PAC under FEC rules, we don't communicate with the other Draft Gore PACs, nor with Al. We just hope he doesn't do a photo-op with Chad Smith and burn bridges with Indian voters who don't confuse Treaty Rights with Jack Abramoff or racism, and Black voters who know Jim Crow when they see him.
