Gore Speeches
Since 2002, Al Gore has given a number of exceptionally powerful speeches about some of the most important issues of our time: Iraq, the Constitution, abuses of executive power, media responsibility, the use of torture, and of course, global warming.
Often, Gore was the only political figure to challenge the Bush Administration on its policies and ask, "How Dare They?"
Below is a selection of some of his most powerful talks, as well as his remarks following the 2000 Supreme Court decision and his address to the 2004 National Convention: |
