A Message from Wes Clark
February 18, 2004
Dear xxxxxxx and xxxxxxx

I can't thank you enough for all the support you've shown my family and me over the past 5 months, and especially in the last week since my decision to leave the presidential race. Your emails, letters, and phone calls have meant a lot to Gert and me.

Right now, we're looking forward to a little time off. Today, Gert and I are flying to Los Angeles to spend the next week with Wes, Astrid, and my new grandson. During the next few weeks, I'll be reflecting a lot on all that we've done together and putting together some ideas about where we will go from here.

For many of us, this was our first time to really get involved in politics. I think we all learned a lot, and I hope you feel as I do: even more inspired to do whatever it takes to build a better America.

My pledge to you is to remain involved in the political process. And I ask you to do the same, because there is just too much at stake this election.

We cannot allow George W. Bush and the Republicans to play politics with national security.

We must reclaim the values of faith, family, patriotism, and inclusive leadership for America.

We must do everything in our power to send George W. Bush back to Texas and return the White House to its rightful owner -- the American people.

In short, I ask you to stick with me and support the Democratic nominee. There is a long road ahead and a lot of work to do. I'll be back in touch soon with ideas about how we can continue to work together and spread our message across America. If you have any thoughts you'd like to share, please email me at [e-mail].

I look forward to continuing to work with you to build a better America.

Best regards,
Wes Clark

P.S. To minimize any confusion during this transition period, all communications about my future plans, fundraising, and any other official information will come directly from me. As always, you also will be able to find this information on our official website, www.clark04.com.

1. Isn't it something...

how reassuring it felt to see that email from him in the inbox?

4. Oh yeah -

Made me believe that he isn't just going to disappear into the private sector. He said he was in it and he's letting his supporters know that he intends to work for the party or more ;) until November 2004.

2. I LOVED getting this email.

Here's another thread that was started. The mods may lock this as a dupe...so here's a link to the other one.
