Draftgore.com, which describes itself as a group of grass-roots Democrats, underwrote a full-page open letter to Al Gore in Wednesday’s New York Times, imploring the former vice president to enter the presidential campaign.

The ad, which says 136,000 people have signed Draftgore’s online petition, was published two days before this year’s Nobel Peace Prize is expected to be announced. Gore has been nominated for the prize because of his campaign to bring attention to global warming.

Although Gore has said he has no intention of becoming a presidential candidate, several groups around the country are trying to persuade him to enter the race.

“America and the Earth need a hero right now - someone who will transcend politics as usual and bring real hope to our country and to the world,” Draftgore’s letter said. “Please rise to this challenge, or you and millions of us will live forever wondering what might have been.”
