Poll question: What should Bush include in tonight's SOTU?
Self-explanatory. Vote now or vote during the SOTU itself!

1. At this point I would settle for just a couple of complete sentences
from the miserable little puke, but I voted for 'immediate resignation.'

2. I think he should include these things - let him know!!
Following on his own "Real State of the Union" Address yesterday, Wes Clark issued an email call to supporters to join him in calling Bush out on the SOTU. Please add your name and let President Bush know what he can do with his SOTU. "Enough is enough!"



General Clark to George Bush:

"As you deliver your "State of the Union" to Congress and the American people tonight, I thought I'd send you my own message about the state of our Union as well:

The state of the Union is clearly not what it should be, and not what it could be.

* Four years after 9/11, Osama Bin Laden remains on the loose and Al Qaeda remains a potent force among millions of Muslims

* The threat of terrorism has actually increased, largely as a result of the unnecessary invasion of Iraq

* In the process of our struggle against insurgents and terrorists, we are in danger of losing the very principles we are fighting for as revelations of torture undercut America's moral strength and leadership

* Highly skilled jobs in the so-called knowledge industry are moving abroad

* More than 45 million Americans lack access to health insurance

* Our physical infrastructure and our system of public education lack essential modernization and reform

* Despite over thirty years of warning, this nation still has no policy to lead us to energy independence

* The tragic incompetence of our government: failing to assist in the terrible humanitarian catastrophe of Katrina, stumbling through a repetitive cycle of inflated rhetoric and crushing disappointments with reconstruction and reform in Iraq and the Middle East, and frustrating millions of American seniors floundering through a poorly designed Medicare prescription drug program.

* The emergence of what appears to be a culture of corruption reaching from lobbyists, through the Republican leadership in Congress, and into the White House itself

The policies followed by your Administration since 9/11 -- the belligerent tone, the unilateralism, and the excessive reliance on military force -- are not making us safer; they are increasing the dangers we face abroad and distracting us from the most important challenges here at home.

The American people demand better leadership from you, President Bush. It's time to change course -- now -- and get America back on track.

Wes Clark"
