LIVE from Town Hall: Gore closes speech
Al Gore is now closing his speech here at Town Hall, sharing his optimism that America will recover from today's crises to become a greater nation.
"The Internet offers a source of wonderful and great hope that we can reestablish the integrity of democracy." But it is in danger, he added, because the policy of net neutrality is under assault.
In his last comments, he thanked Seattle and praised the region, saying, "What a great city this is. What a great political community this is."
"The Rebellion lives, in the Star Wars metaphor. One of the centers is here."
Gore then took a few questions from the audience (I'll cover those in my post event wrap up) and received another lengthy standing ovation from the audience before departing for the downstairs where he will be signing copies of The Assault on Reason and An Inconvenient Truth children's edition.
