[Chat] Fwd: Gore speaks out on Freedom

[Crystal]

The next time it crosses your mind to say "Why aren't
the younger people doing anything?", keep in mind that
there may be lots of things going on that the national
media aren't telling you ...

I'll be crossing my fingers that C-SPAN doesn't
supercede the braodcast with "something more
important."
