feedback@draftwesleyclark.com.
To volunteer for the DraftWesleyClark.com, please contact
volunteers@draftwesleyclark.com.
In the 3 months since
it launched, DraftWesleyClark.com has spurred tens of thousands
of letters to General Clark, urging him to run for president. It
has gained national and international media coverage on TV (CBS,
NBC, CNN), in
print, online, and on radio. It has raised over $300,000 in
pledges And it has helped to launch
local Clark chapters ("MeetUps") in over 100 cities across
America. As hard as we have
worked, however, we believe the real credit for the explosion of
this movement belongs to General Clark himself -- who has shown
himself to be a powerfully compelling alternative to the current
roster of candidates.
We are not
affiliated with Wesley Clark -- we are just impressed by his solid
record of leadership and achievement.
Former supreme commander of NATO. First in his class
at West Point. Vietnam combat veteran. A Rhodes Scholar. A necessary voice of common sense
and moderation on the foreign policy front. We like what
we see -- and we want to see more.
