The holiday season is here, but the election season isn't over yet. So it is with great urgency that I write you today. My friend, Charlie Melancon, won a place on this Saturday's Louisiana run-off ballot for a seat in Congress, and he needs your help in these final few hours before the election.

Charlie Melancon is a native Louisianan who has the experience to get the job done in Washington. As a state legislator and community leader, he's fought to improve schools and provide our families with health care. As former president of the American Sugar Cane League, Charlie has the expertise to create and protect jobs in Louisiana.

Charlie will be a strong advocate for our military and veterans in Congress. He has already received the endorsement of Veterans Vision and other veterans' organizations.

Please support Charlie's campaign today -- and send him to victory on Saturday!

Without a record to run for Congress, his opponent Billy Tauzin, III, is depending on his father's name and the national Republican Party's negative attack machine to win the election. The contrast in experience between Charlie and Billy Tauzin could not be clearer -- if we can just get the message out to the voters.

Now, in the final three days of the campaign, Charlie is combating the vicious smear campaign that targeted so many Democrats on November 2nd. But with your help, we can fight back and take back this Republican House seat on Saturday.

Join me in helping Charlie take his positive message to the voters so that he can serve Louisiana and America in Congress. Please contribute $100, $50, $25, or whatever you can afford today!

The November 2nd elections did not turn out the way we had hoped. That's why we can't stop fighting now. On Saturday, we can send a message to Tom Delay and the right-wing attack machine by electing Charlie Melancon to Congress.

Please support Charlie Melancon's campaign today -- in these last few hours before Saturday's election!

Thank you so much for your continued support and hard work. Let's make our voices heard in Louisiana!

Sincerely,



Wes Clark

1. I got a hug from Charlie yesterday - He's a good man

Charlie is one of the most decent people I've ever met. He has worked hard all his life for the people in our area of Louisiana, and he truly deserves to be elected. Unlike "Little Billy", who has never done an unselfish thing in his life.
