Wes Clark e-mail: "I look forward to reading your ideas & hearing from you
I think there's still a chance that Clark may run in 2008....

Just got this e-mail today. He's says he's not going anywhere and his "Wespac" site is still going strong and he's still raising money. He says he'll be watching and listening to our views. "I look forward to reading your ideas and hearing from you in the coming days."

Let's all beg this man to run in 2008. He will be much more seasoned - he has already improved 150% as a "national figure." Don't forget this is a man who is highly intelligent and a quick study. http://www.wespac2004.com/#home

This is the only thing that is keeping my spirits up.




A Message from Wes Clark
November 5, 2004

I can’t thank you enough for all you've done. You worked so hard and cared so much. You gave me a voice, and you amplified it far beyond anything I could have expected. I am so grateful for all your support, contributions, letters, visits, emails, and continuing commitment. And for your determination to move our country forward.

-snip-

I'll be listening to their views -- and to yours. It will take time, effort, and honesty to sort out the lessons. But I hope you'll be there as we do so. And participate. I look forward to reading your ideas and hearing from you in the coming days.

As for me, well, I'm continuing with efforts in the private sector. But I haven't lost my love for this country nor my concern for her welfare. So I’m not going anywhere. Through WesPAC, I'll continue to speak out and fight for the issues we care about and the values we stand for. We must bridge the partisan divide in America, but we’ve also got to keep fighting for what we know is right.

Thanks again for standing beside me over the many months. We may have lost the first battle in the fight for our nation’s future, but it’s far from the last one. We've got a lot left to do, and I promise to continue the effort to assure a safe and just nation.

1. Let's become a "Daddy" Party.....
Let's give the Southern General some backing! Let's give him the chance that his late entry, the media and the compress primaries didn't in 2004. He certainly could be the one that could turn the perception of this party around. Those who know him understand this.

Those who drafted him the last time around understood why the other candidates just didn't have the combination we needed. But he came in too late....and many had already picked sides.

He is:
Charismatic
Intelligent/Rhode Scholar
Southern and perceived as moderate
A man's man - one you'd want to have a beer with
Pro-guns without being NRA poster boy
Humble roots
An outsider without a voting record
has planned, led and won a war
has negotiated peace/Dayton Peace Accord
married for 35 years
values orientated
articulate
wartime hero....with no skeletons or protests in his past
attractive to Republicans - based on having voted for some of them
a diplomatic attack dog
a positive reputation in the world
National Security creds up the yang-yang
A uniter....not a divider
Understands Media Bias and crooked Voting machines

2. This is the man I and my Republican husband thought would be the one
that could take out the Bush machine.

We both voted Kerry in the ABB move, but in the primary it was Clark.

He needs to keep out there and vocal
