Wes Clark endorses Cal Cunningham
Great News from North Carolina!

Today General Wesley Clark endorsed Cal Cunningham and his campaign to defeat Richard Burr. http://securingamerica.com/node/3287

Almost 4 years ago General Clark threw his support behind Jim Webb, catapulting that veteran to a primary win and eventually a win over George Allen.

Now Clark is backing Iraq War Veteran Cal Cunningham in North Carolina. As General Clark points out, Cal would be the very first veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan elected to the U.S. Senate. Cal was awarded both the Bronze Star and the General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award for his service in Iraq prosecuting rogue contractors who were harming our mission in Iraq. http://www.flickr.com/photos/calfornc/4158127533/

Here is what the General had to say:

Cal has seen war and understands it's time to "Conclude the Mission in Iraq. With Honor. Period."

Cal knows sexual orientation plays no role on the battlefield, and that it's time to end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Cal knows first-hand why we must break our "destructive dependence on foreign oil from unfriendly regimes," and he recognizes that climate change poses a critical threat to our national security.

Cal will fight for veterans and honor their sacrifices.



So please join General Clark in supporting a veteran who will stand up for what is right.
