Al Gore has arrived in Oslo, Norway, in preparation for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize this coming Monday, December 10, in Oslo City Hall. To me this is more than just a date to collect a prize. This is a date with his destiny and more importantly, the beginning of a new chapter.

With all Al Gore has done and is continuing to do some groups still don't think his work worthy enough to support on its merits so they continue to push him to return to a toxic system that ignored the climate crisis for thirty years. They don't seem to see the big picture, nor do I believe they have grown as Mr. Gore has through all of the experiences he has been through in the past few years. They use the excuse that it is his "moral duty" to run for president this time out as if his fulfilling what he sees as his moral duty to this planet isn't good enough for them. At this point I can then only think they are continuing to push him despite his statements that he has no plans to be a candidate again for purely selfish personal political reasons so they don't have to fulfill their duty.

Patriots for Al Gore Statement Regarding Al Gore Receiving Nobel Peace Prize

I took it upon myself to write this because I respect Al Gore immensely, and because I also respect President Franklin Roosevelt who has always been one of my true personal heroes. I wished to note some similarities between them in discussing Mr. Gore's life, and for me this was truly a labor of love that I thoroughly enjoyed writing from my heart. So in celebration of his nomination and possible win of the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow, I wished to post it again.

With the Nobel Peace Prize being announced this coming week on October 12, I wanted to send a message to Al Gore, a man I respect immensely and whose name has been mentioned as a frontrunner for the award.

Dear Mr. Gore;

I have always believed that a person who serves their conscience serves well. To me you are an exemplary example of that, and I wanted to thank you again for all of your work on the climate crisis and for giving me more tools to use in my own action plan, because time is of the essence. I personally am shocked to see the speed at which the Arctic ice and glaciers worldwide are melting and I do not see it as a good harbinger of things to come for this planet or for us.

In October the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced and Al Gore is one of the main contenders for the prize this year and deservedly so.
