It's time to ask yourselves, "Do you believe?" (Clark friends!)
When you signed on to draft Wes Clark, did you believe?

When he announced his candidacy, did you believe?

When you saw his press releases and read his positions, did you believe in him?

The first time you saw him in person, did you believe in him?

If you believed in him then, believe in him now. Those of us who support Wes know he is the same person we believed in several months ago. The media has painted him a different color, the other candidates have tried to paint him a different color, but underneath the paint, he's still Wes Clark.

Faith is a crazy thing folks. It asks you to believe in something you cannot see. We can SEE the Drudged-up exit polls, we can see the FAUX news reports, and we can SEE the headlines ignore him day after day after day. BUT if you can still see him as your future president, then you have to call that faith... and faith can move mountains.

So it's time to ask yourself, "Do you believe?" If you can't drag it up out of the depths of your soul, that's okay. There are many Clark supporters with faith enough for legions of doubters.

It's okay to be down - I've been there myself. But tonight, I'm going to go back to believing in Wesley Clark. He's taken hit after hit to stand up for MY faith in a better America, and I'm not letting go of that. No matter what.

but sometimes I need to give a swift kick in the ass to my fellow Clark supporters when they start to waver. :-)

5. I still believe in Wes Clark
& will NEVER change my mind that he would make the best President.

What I don't believe in the system where we choose our candidates, or the media that reports the events.

I haven't given up, & my candle is burning.

Light em up!

12. To my Clark supporter friends...
I feel your pain - being a Dean supporter, I know what it's like to watch helplessly as your candidate is unfairly savaged by the media. Wes has always been my "very close #2" just behind Dean, so the media's behavior towards both of my candidates has been difficult to bear.

Chin up my friends. By the end of the year, we'll be rid of the Bush cabal. Isn't that what's REALLY important?

13. Yes, I believe
As long as he's in the race I will do everything I can for his (our) campaign.

It may sound corny but every day I start with the following:

"If you build it they will come." (from "Field of Dreams").

Don't listen to the media, turn off the TV and start writing and calling voters (go to E-Blocks on the clark04 website).

This is FAR from over.

16. I will always believe in the General!
He's the best man for the job of our Commander in Chief. He has great policies regarding domestic agenda, and is a truly caring and brilliant leader. Clark is the absolutely best candidate we have, or could imagine having! Please, Democrats, accept this gift!

not just against. I've been waiting for this day for a long time and I was very proud to fill in the arrow next to his name this morning.

24. Clark's sticking his neck out for me
Giving up future business with the Pubs to criticize them in stronger and more effective terms than any other candidate on their issue of choice, national security. That's the way I see it. And that means so much more to me than media spin.

Plus, Clark is at the core an incredibly caring person. He's utterly sincere in his desire to make this country better. Not the best politican, just the best human being.

I love Wes Clark.
