Thought my fellow Clarkies would enjoy this.


A Message from Wes Clark
September 24, 2004

Dear "Catch22Dem,"

There are only 39 more days until Election Day. With your continued support, I'm traveling across America, working hard for John Kerry and John Edwards in the key battleground states that will make a difference in the presidential campaign. But here at WesPAC we're also committed to helping the Democratic Party reclaim control of the United States Senate.

That's why I'm writing to you today. Brad Carson, a two-term Democratic Congressman, a fellow Rhodes Scholar, and a member of the Cherokee Nation, is running a terrific campaign for the open Senate seat in Oklahoma. In a traditionally Republican state, Brad has stormed back to overtake his opponent, opening up a narrow 1 point lead in recent polls.

But winning this tight race is still an uphill battle. Brad needs our help to fuel his campaign in these final days and weeks as he criscrosses Oklahoma and reaches out to the voters. This pivotal race could truly shift the balance of power in the Senate.

Help the Democrats reclaim control of the United States Senate -- support Brad Carson's campaign today!

A sixth-generation Oklahoman, Brad believes passionately in doing what is right for the people of his state and for America. During his time in Congress, Brad has been lauded by members of both parties for his ability to reach across the aisle, move past partisan bickering, and find common ground to solve the problems facing our nation.

Unfortunately, his Republican opponent, Tom Coburn, is far from mainstream. If elected, Coburn would be the most conservative member of the United States Senate. He has even called for the death penalty for physicians who perform abortions.

According to National Review, "Tom Coburn... one of the most activist conservatives ever to have served in the House… As a Senator he would be something like Jesse Helms and Phil Gramm rolled into one."

Can we really afford yet another out-of-touch, right-wing extremist in the United States Congress?

Reject the neo-conservative, right-wing agenda in Washington -- support Brad Carson today!

Many Democrats see Brad Carson's race as one of our Party's best opportunities to pick up an open Senate seat this year.

Well, I also see it as one of our best opportunities to elect an intelligent, hard-working leader who will look out for the best interests of Oklahoma and our nation in the United States Senate.

We need a man like Brad Carson in the United States Senate. And we need to fight for a Democratic majority that will solve the problems facing our nation here at home and around the world.

Stand with me today in support of Brad Carson -- with your help, the next U.S. Senator from Oklahoma!

With great appreciation,

Wes Clark

3. Thanks for the heads up!

Clark's office is reporting that he will be on the trail EVERY day of Oct. He is amazing to see, so look for him at an event near you.

In the mean while, I haven't checked my e-mail for several days and will send along $44.44. We need to change at least one house of congress...now!
