Wes Clark backing Hackett in Ohio CD2


I am writing to ask you to support a tremendous public servant and
fellow veteran Paul Hackett in Tuesday's special election for the 2nd
Congressional District of Ohio.

Paul Hackett is exactly the kind of strong leader we need in these
challenging times. He is a former Marine and a veteran of the Fallujah
campaign in Iraq. He understands what it will take to fight -- and win
-- the war on terror and keep America safe.

He also understands that our nation's greatest strength is found in the
talent and diversity of our people. That is why Paul believes it is so
important to invest in health care and in our schools, and to use our
tax dollars responsibly by ending corporate welfare and supporting
small businesses.

Above all, Paul offers the kind of fresh, pragmatic leadership that we
desperately need in Washington. For all of their bravado, the Bush
administration and Republicans in Congress seem fresh out of ideas
about how to win the war in Iraq and bring our troops home. As a Civil
Affairs officer in Iraq, Paul helped to rebuild Iraq and reach out to
the Iraqi people. His experience and judgment are exactly what we need
to finish the job we started in Iraq.

Paul Hackett is running in a special election that will take place on
August 2nd. Because turnout for special elections is often low, it is
absolutely critical to do everything we can to help Paul's supporters
get to the polls next Tuesday.

In a close election like this one, every person can make a difference.
With just one week until election day, here are two things you can do
to help Paul win on Tuesday:

1. If you can get to Cincinnati, please volunteer to help Paul’s
campaign by making phone calls or knocking on doors. Help his team get
out the vote on August 2nd.

2. Donate to his campaign. (http://www.actblue.com/list/hackett )

Make sure Paul and his campaign have the resources he needs to reach
out to each and every single voter.
Today, the Cincinnati Post endorsed Paul, calling him "a gust of fresh
air." Clearly, momentum is on our side. We can win this race, but to do
it we need your help. Paul Hackett has the experience and good judgment
we need in Congress. Please do what you can to help Paul win Ohio's 2nd
Congressional District next Tuesday.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Wes Clark
