Illinois for Clark wishes to congratulate John Kerry, Barack
Obama and the entire Illinois Democratic ticket. We ask that
everyone one of you continue to stay involved in the process by

It is important that we give Kerry, Obama and the entire
Democratic ticket the financial backing necessary to beat their
well funded opponents in the general election. As many of you

March 12th Message from Wes Clark

March 12, 2004

Dear supporter,

With the results of Tuesday's primaries in Texas, Mississippi,
Florida, and Louisiana, and after a spirited series of primaries
and caucuses in more than 34 states, John Kerry has clinched the
Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

Never before in history has our party stood so united, so
determined, so early. Never before has our party been so ready,
so soon, so confident in who we are, what we believe, and how we
are going to make this great country even greater. And now, with
John Kerry, we are ready to lead this nation forward.

I'm proud to be standing with John Kerry -- a real American
patriot, a true statesman, a great leader, and the next President
of the United States. I'm doing my part to make sure that he wins
this fall, including making calls, appearing on news shows, and
reaching out to voters. Over the past couple of weeks, I've
campaigned in Georgia and Kansas. Next week I'll be campaigning
for John Kerry in the key swing-state of Ohio, and I'm looking
forward to helping much more in the weeks and months to follow.

And I'm proud that so many of you are standing with us to fight
for America's future. The response from friends like you, and
millions of other Democrats, has been overwhelming. Throughout my
campaign, and especially over the past few weeks, I've witnessed
first-hand in people everywhere the passion and enthusiasm we
need to change America.

We can keep Wes's profile high if he gets creds for our support of other Dems, but we need to show it. Also, if you are not maxed out on Clark, please remember we need to help pay down his debt.
