Reply #69: Supported Wes Clark from the early days of the draft [View All]

Clark movement. I discovered him on CNN and on DU posts, I did my research and came to the conclusion as the mother of a draft age son who wants to join the military when he graduates from college that General Clark would be the man I would trust my sons life with as Commander in Chief. I volunteered in NH, coming from Nevada with my Korean War Veteran dad, my son and his roommate. I live in the most Republican county in Nevada, I took the Clark message to as many people as possible, house party, signs , monetary contributions, to the Democratic Clubs in Douglas County.

This man so inspired me to help my community, to get involved with the solution that I ran for School Board, many of my neighbors and friends new I was a Dem and of course there was at least a dozen signs around my house for other Dem candidates along side of my own. I won my race, the big reason was the coordinated help of the Democratic Community but also because of the message about Clark. There would have been a tremendous amount of support for Clark in the general election, to win I had to have at least 1/3 of registered Republicans voting for me.

Clark has asked that his supporter's concentrate on 05-06, get involved at the grassroot level, support local candidates, help turn the congress blue. He is actively supporting progressive candidates and is focusing on the common good for our country, electing Democrats to local,statewide and national office.

I will continue to support Clark by doing the work he thinks is critical for 06, and then of course I will be supporting him in 08, ok I admit all my families cars already have 08 bumperstickers and I have given away over 100 bumper stickers and pins
