Subject: Backing up the General in "walking point" for Kerry

How badly do *you* want to beat George Bush? If you are like me, it's
a LOT!
And now is the time for us to show it by doing even more to help.

Last week marked the beginning of the Bush campaign's media blitz.
Luckily, last week Wesley Clark was campaigning hard for John Kerry in
several states. Wes also helped respond to Bush's lies in media
interviews. As a Clark supporter, I'm following the General's lead in
helping Kerry compete. This is essential not only to beat Bush, but
also to raise Wes's stature within in the Party and enhance his chances
for a high level position.

Each of *our* help is also needed to bring the truth to the American
people. George Bush is trying to rewrite reality and hide his
miserable record behind a $150 million dollar mountain of cash raised
from corporate special interests like big oil companies. George Bush
spent one day here in California last week, and raised over $3.5
million. But by working together, we can take on his campaign war
chest.

Every dollar counts. Though it was a terrible loss that Wes will not
be at the top of the ticket, I hope you will join me in contributing to
the Kerry campaign now. By clicking on my new "Kerry Core" site, your
money will be indentifiably coming from you as a Clark supporter!
https://contribute.johnkerry.com/index.html?source_code=00013401 It's
that simple.

If you aren't in a position to contribute now, please consider other
ways to aid the Beat Bush cause -- but please make whatever you do
clearly identifiable as coming from a Clark supporter. Our help is
desperately needed now as the Party unifies to defeat Bush. Please ask
me for more ideas (e.g., my Beat Bush buttons!).f

Finally, please consider passing this message along to other Clark
supporters. In taking action now, we help General Clark in his
continuing fight not to let Bush's attempt to rewrite reality succeed.
It's up to each of us. Let's do what we can now so we have no regrets
at the end of 2004!

Onward,

P.S. Here are a few messages Kerry's campaign is using to fight back
this week:

• Remind people that his administration has cut funding for
first responders by 30% in the Homeland Security
(http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4224556/)

• Remind them that the Bush Administration pressured the EPA
to alter air quality reports from Ground Zero ("Dust And Deception"
By PAUL KRUGMAN (NYT) 773 words; Late Edition - Final , Section A ,
Page 19 , Column 6).

• Remind people that this President continues to reward his
campaign contributors with special contracts and deals such as the
recent sale of land in environmentally sensitive areas for oil and
gas drilling for as low as $5 per acre (average value of $80 an
acre) <"Utah Oil and Gas Leases Stir Criticism" by Juliet Eilperin;[br /> Washington Post; March 1, 2004 pg. A02.]

Talk to your friends and family; and remind them why George W. Bush
should not get their support. Together, we can change America.

Clark supporters hold an important key in helping unify the Democratic
party and reach out to independens, mod-GOPers, military and others who
flocked to the General and are now needed to elect Kerry.

Thanks.


REMEMBER... This is essential not only to beat Bush, but
also to raise Wes's stature within in the Party and enhance his chances for a high level position.
