A propos des armes de destructions massives en Irak : L'absence de preuve ne justifie pas la preuve de l'absence . D'ailleurs on aurait pu dire la meme chose pour le déclenchement de la guerre du Kosovo. N'est ce pas mon Général ? CIA or not CIA .

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. Thank you , General Clark, for getting into the race...Just some imput to recent comments about your voting record, if you voted Republician or Democratic..so what..? Most of the people in this country vote for national government that's a little to the right or left of the political center, we choose the leaders, that makes us the driving force of our history, and why we have different parties lead at different times. Like you, this last time, I voted for Al Gore. I believed then as I do now, that I voted for the man that won. He was the right guy at this juncture of our history. The Supreme Court took that away, and now, look at the damage! General Clark, sir...I believe that you're the right guy, at the right time, and the right place, to make great changes to "correct" this awful historic wrong. The political pundits may say I'm wrong (who cares!) but there are great winds of political change out there, they just haven't quite surfaced yet..( they just can't keep throwing "war on terror" on us...that line of s--t just won't work anymore...!) They have really f---ked things up! The "boys" of PNAC...are getting their just reward...pissed off generals...not enought troops in Iraq..pissed off spys...doctored intelligence...and now treason in the White House...for giving out a name of an active CIA agent...this from a White House that demands patriotism from all of us...! All caring people DO support our troops...but they should not be used in the "Great Game" of empire building..and a of "social engineering" that this group of"geniuses" had planned... the domistic side...just as bad...no jobs..cash starved states...no money for security...roads..bridges...electrical grid up keep...ect...the people are asked to cough up 87 billion bucks...20 billion for repairs in Iraq..people here don't have jobs..some go hungry...some could go homeless...some on the verge of despair...but by golly! they'll have security...! Tell our dim-witted Emperior to resind the tax cut for the wealthy...the millionares...they'll be okay...honest..! Thank you for your time General Clark...God Bless...!

Sir, America needs a "Great" president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times and has not sold out to the corperate class. A class who has no loyalty to america or its people. How hypocritical it is for rich congressmen to cry tears for victims of Saddam's tyrannical regime but have no compassion for americans who suffer in this country. They vote for Bush's policies based on lies and greed, give huge tax breaks to the wealthy and ignore the needy by supporting even more one sided laws to help the wealthy. In the United States, millions of AMERICANS have no health insurance, with the number increasing with massive unemployment. Every year, AMERICANS die because of lack of insurance. Meanwhile, many tax paying citizens have to choose between shelter and food in order to pay for their prescription drugs. The Republican prescription drug plans protect only rich drug companies. Health care costs and personal bankruptcies are sky high for the common people. While we hear more and more about CEO's and their millions and how they got it supporting Bush. Our country "cannot afford" four more years of George W. Bush and his greedy Republican friends. General Clark, America needs YOU. Remember its the people's welfare that comes first. That's what good government does. Please run for president, be that great president of the common people. May God be with you.

Dear General Clark: America needs new leadership in a very different way. Someone must take a stance on the most "hush-hush" issue in this presidential campaign--immigration. Our country suffers not from a lack of patriotism, but from the lack of jobs and job creation. Our country suffers from the "cheap labor" syndrome. Our current leaders have been sold a bill of goods by corporate elitists with foreign interests to believe the MYTH that America has a worker shortage, skill shortage and jobs which Americans "will not do". Thus we need illegals, H1-B's and L1's to fill the void? THIS IS NOT TRUE! While manufacturing has slowly hemorraged over the past 20-25 years to foreign nations who can offer the cheapest labor, white collar jobs are hemmoraging even more quickly. WE NEED JOBS TO KEEP AMERICA STRONG! A free society must provide opportunities for its citizens, not indentured servitude. Americans have been told they are lazy and stupid and yet we have the greatest research, development, innovations, and educational system in the world. WHY ELSE WOULD FOREIGNERS CLAMOR TO STUDY AND WORK HERE? Hundreds of thousands of highly educated American professionals and new college graduates are out of work or have been displaced by their foreign, cheaper counterparts. WHY? WE NEED YOUR HELP! We MUST provide opportunities for Americans first. We MUST continue to provide our youth with opportunities and promises of good things to come. Elsewise, future generations will not be so willing to indebt themselves to college loans for education in careers that will become non-existent before they receive their diplomas. PLEASE, PLEASE support we "common folk" who have seen our blue collar jobs offshored and are now seeing our college graduates deeply in debt and unable to find employment. A GLOBAL economy is only effective for our country if we are still on the GLOBE! I thank you for your time and consideration, I wish you much success in your campaign, and I look forward to your views on this topic.

America needs a president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times, unwilling to create bigger government, willing to make responsible spending decisions, willing AND able to control spending and get the country out of deficit spending, willing and able to formulate a positive foreign policy, willing to cancel taxpayer spending on National Missile Defense. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these challengin times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you and Governor Dean in the White House. I am glad you decided to run for president and hope you will keep focused on a regime change.

I am very glad that a very qualified soldier-statesman will be this country’s next President. Thank you for being the leader the Democratic Party needs and deciding to run. Carlos Rodriguez

Hello my name is Allen Foster and I am a high school student at Diamond Bar High School in Southern California. I am president of a club that is the Pro US Armed Forces Club. On behalf of the club and I we thank you for running for president. I have tried to spread the word to support General Wesley Clark and his followers. I cannot wait to vote for him. He is a true american hero who actually fought in combat to keep our country free from oppression (Unlike President Bush and Vice President Chaney). We are kind of running into a dilemma and would like to post posters around our city and the neighboring cities but cannot get adequate posters. I remember when General Wesley Clark in his speech to announce that he was going to run for President that people were holding draft wesley clark for president signs and was wondering if at all that you could send as many posters that you can spare like 100 or so if you could. It would be much appreciated. If you could email me back at [email protected] if you can or cannot send signs and then we can arrange shipping. Thank You very much, Allen Foster

One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America does not need you. And I am one American who can be counted with many many others who is very proud of the President. Infact I have left your party after 20 years because I was very embarressed of what I kept seeing, lying, cheating, slandering all to win and nothing to do with the best for the American public.

Well Jim Stoddard, when Bush comes back to Texas in '05 you can be proud to have seen it with him through the end. In the meantime we'll concetrate on a Foreign Policy that makes sense, bring back jobs, and I guarantee the General will not put his troops in peril by telling the enemy to 'bring it on' while sitting in his nice cozy sissyhawk AWOL chair.

To all of you extremist partisans out there criticising the General's voting record, let it be known that most high ranking military have voted Republican because defense spending is a priority for the Republicans. Don't blame the General for that, blame the Democrats. Voting for past republican candidates and now finally coming out and endorsing the Democratic principles which diplomacy kept hidden is a candidate for the people. As a General he had to serve under both parties and rode the delicate line of bipartisanship in an honorable way. But as a politician he had to choose and went with his heart. American needs someone who has been on both sides of the fence and out of principle declared his views candidly as a Democrat. This is honorable and sincere. It's too bad that the who people want to slam are bent on dividing this country out of their own selfish agenda's. As long as people are hell bent on dividing this country, America will continue to victimize it's own people. Clark will continue to unite and bring America together.

Isn't it odd republicans are so affraid of Wesley Clark? They are also affraid of "Free Elections". The republican right is doing it's best to subvert our democracy at every "right" turn. Wake up America, Bush will steal the next presidential election just like he stole the one in 2000. Republicans aren't about freedom or respecting another persons views even if they disagree. Republicans on the right are out to control our government not for another four years but to control it completely by stealing elections with the help of their republican friends in the voting machine industry. The republicans of today are not the party of Lincoln. And they call themselves patriots?

Dear General Clark: I am excited that you are running. I have never in my life given $2000 to a campaign, but I did send that to the Clark campaign because I want you in the White House. It is funny. I started with a $25 donation and then I got so mad a Rush Limbaugh that I sent $1975. The thing is, I want you to be safe. Please hire some good security and be safe. We cannot trust the "you know whos". I keep you in prayer. I know you will be safe. God bless you, General Clark Martisa Vignali

General Clark; Thanks so much for deciding to enter the race for President of the United States. The country needs you! I watched and listened to the last presidential debate in which you took part. I thought you performed great considering that it was your first political debate. I would recommend that you relax more and bear in mind that you have so much more to offer than the other nine candidates. Most of them have been part of the establishment for years and therefore, they are part of the problems that we face today. You, on the other hand, can bring forth new and exciting ideas and demonstrate a willingness to recognize that good ideas can come from anywhere and should not be summarily dismissed because they come from the opposite party. Further recommend that you keep your talking points sweet and simple and address the common, every day American citizen. I believe you can make a lot of hay by constantly hitting on the following topics: 1. Economy: a. Bush took us from a ($?)surplus to a ($?) decifict during the last 3-years. b. Remind senior citizens. who traditionally rely upon savings deposit and CD interest to supplement their retirement income of the 1-percent return they receive today compared to what they were getting before Bush took office. This should hit home to practically every retiree. c. Remind all workers, who try to save and increase their retirement accounts (i.e., 401K plans) as one of the three legs of a successful retirement, of the significant setbacks they have had during the past 3-years. Practically every worker has seen a sharp decline in their investment plans and will relate to this point. d. Remind America of the 3-million jobs that were lost by Bush during the last 3-years and include the fact that most of these are permanent losses because they have been exported overseas. 2. Iraq War: a. Remind Americans of the lies we were told in bringing us to war. Don't be afraid to compare these lies to those told by LBJ in getting us into the Vietnam war. I believe you can make a lot of points with the American public by simply admitting that yes, Democrats too can lie and get us into messes like the war in Iraq. b. Tie the cost of the war into the negative impact upon the economy and the future of America. c. Remind Americans of just how much Bush has isolated the US from the international community because of his "go-it-alone" stance and his arrogant attitude. d. Remind Americans of Bush's desire to further downsize the Department of Defense through another BRAC in 2005. Note that this is the true direction that he wants to take the military and that he will push for this hard the moment he gets any relief from the Iraq war effort. In this regard, he is no better, and probably worse, than former president Bill Clinton. e. Hit on the ties between VP Chenny and Halliburton. Remind Americans of the fact the Brown and Root was part of the RMK-BRJ conglomerate that made mega bucks in building sea ports, military bases, roads, and airfields in Vietnam. The list can go on and on because there are so few areas in which Bush has made a positive impact upon American society. I submit that the key here is to keep the points sweet and simple so that the average American can relate to them and to repeat the charges at every opportunity. If you want Americans to understand and retain what they hear, you need to repeat, repeat and repeat the charge. Good luck and just relax because you are the very best candidate out there and I know the Bush team is concerned about having to face you. Best regard.

To all the morons bashing Wesley Clark on this site. Here is how your leader George Bush is going to steal the next election from the democratic contender. But then again you Bush supporters never have been about freedom, you've been all about retaining power for large corupt corporations. Enjoy your life under the thumb of Bush family and their right wing supporters. The freedom of America will evaporate in November 2004 with the press of a button. Wake up America! Fight for your freedoms! ------Vanishing Act "Disappearing" the Republic at the Push of a Button By CHRIS FLOYD It's a shell game, with money, companies and corporate brands switching in a blur of buy-outs and bogus fronts. It's a sinkhole, where mobbed-up operators, paid-off public servants, crazed Christian fascists, CIA shadow-jobbers, war-pimping arms dealers--and presidential family members--lie down together in the slime. It's a hacker's dream, with pork-funded, half-finished, secretly-programmed computer systems installed without basic security standards by politically-partisan private firms, and protected by law from public scrutiny. It's how America, the "world's greatest democracy," casts its votes. And it's why George W. Bush will almost certainly be the next president of the United States--no matter what the people of the United States might want. The American vote-count is controlled by three major corporate players--Diebold, ES&S, and Sequoia--with a fourth, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), coming on strong. These companies--all of them hardwired into the Bushist Party power grid--have been given billions of dollars by the Bush Regime to complete a sweeping computerization of voting machines nation-wide by the 2004 election. These glitch-riddled systems--many using "touch-screen" technology that leaves no paper trail at all--are almost laughably open to manipulation, according to corporate whistleblowers and computer scientists at Stanford, John Hopkins and other universities. The technology had a trial run in the 2002 mid-term elections. In Georgia, serviced by new Diebold systems, a popular Democratic governor and senator were both unseated in what the media called "amazing" upsets, with results showing vote swings of up to 16 percent from the last pre-ballot polls. In computerized Minnesota, former vice president Walter Mondale--a replacement for popular incumbent Paul Wellstone, who died in a plane crash days before the vote--was also defeated in a large last-second vote swing. Convenient "glitches" in Florida saw an untold number of votes intended for the Democratic candidate registering instead for Governor Jeb "L'il Brother" Bush. A Florida Democrat who lost a similarly "glitched" local election went to court to have the computers examined--but the case was thrown out by a judge who ruled that the innards of America's voting machines are the "trade secrets" of the private companies who make them. Who's behind these private companies? It's hard to tell: the corporate lines--even the bloodlines--of these "competitors" are so intricately mixed. For example, at Diebold--whose corporate chief, Wally O'Dell, a top Bush fundraiser, has publicly committed himself to "delivering" his home state's votes to Bush next year--the election division is run by Bob Urosevich. Bob's brother, Todd, is a top executive at "rival" ES&S. The brothers were originally staked in the vote-count business by Howard Ahmanson, a member of the Council for National Policy, a right-wing "steering group" stacked with Bushist faithful. Ahmanson is also one of the bagmen behind the "Christian Reconstructionist" movement, an extremist faction that openly advocates a theocratic takeover of American democracy, with the imposition of strict Christian dominion, placing "the state, the school, the arts and sciences, law, economics, and every other sphere under Christ the King." This "dominion" includes the death penalty for homosexuals, exclusion of citizenship for non-Christians, stoning of sinners and--we kid you not--slavery, "one of the most beneficent of Biblical laws." As the movement's leader--and Ahmanson's fellow CNP member--R.J. Rushdoony puts it: "The Christian should therefore not fear laws in support of Christian social goals just because they interfere with personal freedom." Ahmanson also holds a major stake in ES&S, where he's joined by Republican Senator Chuck Hagel. Before his ascension to high office, Hagel was CEO of an earlier ES&S incarnation. Thus, when he ran for the Senate, his own company counted the votes. Needless to say, his initial victory was reported as "an amazing upset." Hagel still has a million-dollar stake in the parent company of ES&S. In Florida, Jeb Bush's first choice for a running mate in his 1998 gubernatorial race was ES&S lobbyist Sandra Mortham, who made a mint installing the machines that counted Jeb's votes. Sequoia also has a colorful history, most recently in Louisiana, where it was the center of a massive corruption case that sent top state officials to jail for bribery, most of it funneled through Mob-connected front firms. Sequoia executives were also indicted, but escaped trial after giving immunized testimony against state officials. The company's corporate parent is the UK communications and printing firm De La Rue, which even as we speak is churning out the colonial currency notes for the new Iraq, courtesy of a hefty Coalition contract. De La Rue, in turn, is owned by the private equity firm Madison Dearborn--a partner of the Carlyle Group, where George Bush I makes millions trolling the world for war pork, privatizations and sweetheart deals with government insiders. Investigations by Bev Harris, Thom Hartmann and many others have forced some of these concerns about computer voting into the edge of the mainstream. Maryland, for example, was so worried about its fat new contract with Diebold that it hired another company to vet the software: SAIC. On the surface, this seems a bit like asking Pepsi to certify the taste of Coke, as top SAIC executives have now spun off into the vote-counting game. These include former CEO Admiral Bill Owens--former military aide to Dick Cheney and Carlyle honcho Frank Carlucci--and ex-CIA director Robert Gates, of Iran-Contra fame. Another SAIC executive, David Kay, has been hired by the Bushists to "find" Iraq's elusive weapons of mass destruction. SAIC's long history of fraud charges and security lapses in its electronic systems hasn't prevented it from becoming one of the largest contractors for the Pentagon and the CIA--and it will doubtless pose little obstacle to its entrance into election engineering. The mad rush to install unverifiable computer voting is driven by the Help America Vote Act, signed by Bush last year. The chief lobbying group pushing for HAVA was a consortium of arms dealers--those disinterested corporate citizens--including Northop-Grumman and Lockheed-Martin. The bill also mandates that all states adopt the computerized "voter purge" system used by Florida's Jeb Bush to eliminate 91,000 eligible black voters from the rolls in November 2000. This was done by a private firm, the Republican-run ChoicePoint Inc., which delivered a list of supposedly "ineligible" voters--identified by race--to Florida officials. ChoicePoint was supposed to help local officials correct any mistakes, but despite taking several million dollars for this task, they somehow neglected to do it. Now Bush's HAVA requires that all states conduct similar operations--and no points for guessing which Republican-run private firm is gobbling up the lion's share of those contracts. (This gives a whole new meaning to the term "whitewash"). The unelected Bush Regime now controls the government, the military, the judiciary--and the machinery of democracy itself. Absent some unlikely great awakening by the co-opted dullards of the corporate media, next November the last shreds of a genuine American republic will disappear--at the push of a button. http://www.counterpunch.org/floyd09262003.html

I have just read several letters from a lot of people that have positive feelings about your seeking the Presidency and a lot that have spewed out a lot of nasty dribble. I noted that some come from my home state California I would guess if they were asked they started somewhere else or maybe they are from Southern California (We don't like them up here in NCalif) those idiots started this recall dribble. Anyway don't worry about them just keep marching ahead. You did your duty for Country and 2 Presidents it's now your turn.

Before he announced his candidacy; General Wesley Clark expressed doubt that the Democratic Party would embrace him. In the last few days, I think that the General has realized that he never needed to doubt that his chosen party would see him as the intelligent, sacrificing and brave person that he is. The only ones attacking Mr. Clark prefer that an underachieving, arrogant daddy’s boy who served his country by going AWOL be re-elected President. And as for Howard Dean, every time he’s attacked his fund-raising numbers climb. He’s not afraid to express his outrage so he’s called “too angry” to be President by the conservative media. Gee, considering the current situation; an unstable Iraq, one dead soldier a day, an $87 billion dollar price tag to rebuild Iraq and our own pathetic economy, a little outrage seems downright refreshing. It is painfully obvious that what the current President’s supporters fear the most is that the Democrats could offer a ticket that includes both a Doctor from Vermont and a General from Arkansas.

America needs a new president. I hope, and with me the majority of the most Europeans, that Mr. Wesley Clark will be the next elected president of the United States. After 4 years of mismanagement and really bad political behaviour, after 4 years of isolating and separating, the USA need a man who will unite intelligence, long sight and that charme we europeans like since the years of Bill Clinton … It would be very nice getting the USA back to be on familiar terms with “old and new europe” again.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. A President who is strong enough to take us out of the box and into the future for ALL America. One with a vision that will return Americas' Prestige back to a nation with respect and foresight. I propose when you are elected the democratic nominee for President you chose Mosely Braun as your running mate to set a precedence in this country by bringing all people together and by setting a most ambitious goal before the end of this decade to colonize the moon placing technology back into our economic work force where it was in the years before.

This is great to watch.. Gen Clark is clueless on the issues. Absolutely clueless. He says he is mad at Bush for cutting taxes but supported him when he knew Bush was pushing for the biggest tax cut ever. Gen Clark says the Supreme court should put forth a moderate political agenda.. They cant even applaud at the state of the union address because they are to be totally non political. (see Constitution) Surely this whole draft Clark thing is the Clintons putting him up to it to screw up the party so they can come in as saviors. This is great. .. the more I see the whole poll thing blown out of proportion the greater is the expectacion of the time when he has to answer tough questions with real answers.. wow this is too good to be true.. I thought it was bad when we the conservatives could not get rid of the Clintons , now you liberals are stuck with them. The thing is everyone is either afraid of them or they do no recognize what they are doing . My only hope is this keeps on keeping on .. like I said to Nader.. run baby run.. he got my 10 bucks and we got Bush.. this is fun to watch..One thing you are right about.. the press is really playing this up.. wait till they go into the tough question mode.. (hint.. like Ron Ensana tried to give you but never got and answer..stay tuned General.. now YOU are the one who has to perform.. ).. go get a real job and make it easy on yourself..this is about to get real tough as in questions that demand an answer..

Gen. Clark, Sir, I am a US Army Special Operations Command veteran. I served proudly in SOCOM from 1984 to 1990. I served under Gen. Leroy Suddath, Gen. Wayne Downing and Gen. Lindsey. Sir, something you said is bothering me a great deal. Until I heard this, I was considering giving you my vote. Recently on "Meet The Press", you stated that our country was founded on progressive income taxation. Respectfully sir, this is patently false. Progressive taxation is a creation of Karl Marx and his communist philosophy. The Second Plank of the Communist Manifesto reads: "A Heavy of Progressive Income Tax". Sir, our Constitution says in Article I, section 9, clause 4 says that a direct tax is forbidden unless it is apportioned equally according to the census. In fact, the founding fathers abhored direct taxation. The Sixteenth Amendment violated this section of the Constitution. As a veteran, I personally cannot support any policy that violates the United States Constitution. A document that I nearly died defending. I also cannot support a system of taxation that goes against personal liberty. Income Taxation takes from those who earned it, and gives it to those that didn't earn it. Though it sounds like a noble idea, it is nothing more than thievery. Progressive Taxation discriminates against those that may work a little harder than their neighbor. The founders guaranteed a government that protects personal liberty and property. Wages are personal property and thus should have the protection of the government, not be confiscated by the government. In a free society, a person has a basic human right to provide for themselves. They have a right to work to make the means to provide for themselves and their families. If an entity can take a predetirmined amount of the productivity of that labor, then it no longer is a right. You then become a feudal slave, working for your master. This is wrong. The ability of the government to tax personal incomes turned the Constitution on its ear. It turned the government from slave to master. It is a slap in the face to all those brave Americans who stood muzzle to muzzle in open fields to give us this great country. Please sir, I beg of you to look into this some more. As a veteran and possible future President, it is your duty. Respectfully, J. Mayhon Hawaii

Dear General Clark, I just want you to know that I think that you have decided to join the Democratic party is an asset to you. I voted for George Bush and have been so disqusted with his lies, horrendous domestic and foreign policies that I have become a stanch Democrat because I believe that it is the party that will put America in the right direction. I firmly believe that is a positive thing that you are now a democrat--it shows that it is the party that can embrace all. Because you have seen the other side and decided to become a Democrat is one of the reasons that I think that you are the most qualified to beat George Bush. I too was fooled and there are many more Americans that feel the way you do. USE YOUR CHOICE TO BECOME A DEMOCRAT AS AN ADVANTAGE BECAUSE MANY VOTERS LIKE ME WHO ARE ACTIVE HAVE ALSO JOINED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY JUST RESENTLY--IT SEEMS LIKE THE DEMOCRATS ARE MORE LIKE REPUBLICIANS USED TO BE--ESPECIALLY BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE AND STRONG ON THE ECONOMY AND HOMELAND SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Reporting for Duty: Wesley Clark By David H. Hackworth With Wesley Clark joining the Democratic presidential candidates, there are enough eager bodies pointed toward the White House to make up a rifle squad. This bunch of wannabes could make things increasingly hot for Dubya – as long as they don’t blow each other away with friendly fire. Since Clark tossed his steel pot into the inferno, I've been constantly asked, “Hack, what do you think of the general?” For the record, I never served with Clark. But after spending three hours interviewing the man for Maxim’s November issue, I’m impressed. He is insightful, he has his act together, he understands what makes national security tick – and he thinks on his feet somewhere around Mach 3. No big surprise, since he graduated first in his class from West Point, which puts him in the super-smart set with Robert E. Lee, Douglas MacArthur and Maxwell Taylor. Clark was so brilliant, he was whisked off to Oxford as a Rhodes scholar and didn’t get his boots into the Vietnam mud until well after his 1966 West Point class came close to achieving the academy record for the most Purple Hearts in any one war. When he finally got there, he took over a 1st Infantry Division rifle company and was badly wounded. Lt. Gen. James Hollingsworth, one of our Army’s most distinguished war heroes, says: “Clark took a burst of AK fire, but didn’t stop fighting. He stayed on the field till his mission was accomplished and his boys were safe. He was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart. And he earned ‘em.” It took months for Clark to get back in shape. He had the perfect excuse, but he didn’t quit the Army to scale the corporate peaks as so many of our best and brightest did back then. Instead, he took a demoralized company of short-timers at Fort Knox who were suffering from a Vietnam hangover and made them the best on post – a major challenge in 1970 when our Army was teetering on the edge of anarchy. Then he stuck around to become one of the young Turks who forged the Green Machine into the magnificent sword that Norman Schwarzkopf swung so skillfully during Round One of the Gulf War. I asked Clark why he didn’t turn in his bloody soldier suit for Armani and the big civvy dough that was definitely his for the asking. His response: “I wanted to serve my country.” He says he now wants to lead America out of the darkness, shorten what promises to be the longest and nastiest war in our history and restore our eroding prestige around the world. For sure, he’ll be strong on defense. But with his high moral standards and because he knows where and how the game’s played, there will probably be zero tolerance for either Pentagon porking or two-bit shenanigans. No doubt he’s made his share of enemies. He doesn’t suffer fools easily and wouldn’t have allowed the dilettantes who convinced Dubya to do Iraq to even cut the White House lawn. So he should prepare for a fair amount of dart-throwing from detractors he’s ripped into during the past three decades. Hey, I am one of those: I took a swing at Clark during the Kosovo campaign when I thought he screwed up the operation, and I called him a “Perfumed Prince.” Only years later did I discover from his book and other research that I was wrong – the blame should have been worn by British timidity and William Cohen, U.S. SecDef at the time. At the interview, Clark came along without the standard platoon of handlers and treated the little folks who poured the coffee and served the bacon and eggs with exactly the same respect and consideration he gave the biggies in the dining room like my colleague Larry King and Bob Tisch, the Regency Hotel’s owner. An appealing common touch. But if he wins the election, don’t expect an Andrew Jackson field-soldier type. Clark’s an intellectual, and his military career is more like Ike’s – that of a staff guy and a brilliant high-level commander. Can he make tough decisions? Bet on it. Just like Ike did during his eight hard but prosperous years as president. As we see in the above article it is obvious that both William Cohen and General "Get me Another Drink" Shelton did not like him and set out to smear his reputation to replace him with one of their buddies, but those who actually took the time to find out the truth or more than happy to set the record straight. At this time it is very important for all Clark supporters to hang tough and understand that General Clark will be under heavy fire and for the most part those who don't like him, such as Rush Limbaugh and the usual crowd are being untruthful.

Dear Mr. Clark, I have never fit neatly into the "democrat" or "republican" definition. (I have always alternated between the two.) I feel for the first time in 20 years ( my voting history) that you are a perfect candidate. The first I wish to contribute to in monetary values. Please let me know how much as a corporation or an individual I can contribute. I, as well, own my own design firm and have a historyof successful collateral communiactions. (My work has been exhibited in New York at the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Triennial and is part of the permanent collections of the Library of Congress, The Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Museum Fur Kunst Und Gewerbe Hamburg and the San francisco Museum of Modern Art. ) I would be more than happy to contribute my talents to the positioning, design, or messaging of your campaign on a pro bono basis. (This is to underscore the belief I have in you as a candidate.) Sincerely, Jennifer Sterling

26 September 2003 Dear General Clark, After listening to you (on TV) speak live at New England College in New Hampshire tonight, I am certain you are the leader America needs in 2004. Tonight, I listened to your words and watched your expressions and I believe you meant what you said. To me, that said it all. America needs a President with proven leadership, who has experienced a multitude of cultures/societies and who comprehends foreign policy. With your military experience and genuine concerns for America, I believe we can bring balance in the world once again. As you said tonight, we need to respect others to be respected. General, America needs you, and I am glad you are running for President in 2004. I look forward to proudly serving you as a member of the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee, on which I served in 2000. Before I close, Sir, I respectfully request your earnest consideration to allow me to not only serve on your campaign team but as a future member of your staff (once you become President). I am certain my experiences and expertise will serve you well, Sir. I, too, served our Country in our Armed Forces. I am a 21-year career Naval Officer, whom like you, has never been involved in politics. Yet, because of you, I am excited to be involved in your vision for America and the world. Sir, I would like to provide you my military and civilian resumes to identify my strengths (Bilingual/biliterate in English and Spanish, which can assist you with our Latin communities; proven expert writer, editor, and speaker; well-organized; dedicated; superb leader and motivator; 12 years experience in Education; 21 years military expertise to understand veterans' issues; in-depth researcher; and much more). I assure you, General, you will not regret having this veteran woman on your team. Thank you for your time. I await your decision on considering my skills. With Utmost Respect,

I'm a supporter, but there's one thing I'm hearing that I don't like. It seems that most democrats are trying to paint the war effort as some kind of debacle, but if you look at the facts when campared to history, it looks alot more like this may turn out to be great success after all. In fact the only thing that could threaten our success and make things more difficult and costly is if the American people lose their resolve. Prominent people standing up and putting biased, negative spin on the war puts our troops in danger, (remember the Iraqis can watch the news now) and threatens the whole effort. Especially when it comes from a general. When I see people vying for political gain in such a manner, it seems to be either ignorance of the truth, or a treasonous character. The democrats need to return to their core issues, and stop trying to bring failure where there is none. Let Bush fail on his own, please. Be fair, and be honest. If the Clinton/Gore team tells you to lie about your opinion on an important issue, set them straight. You say we need leadership? Then start leading.

Dear General Clark, I would like to offer my perspective on the Democratic candidate that I would be inspired by. I am a registered Independent and high school history teacher from Massachusetts. I am left-leaning but pragmatic and opposed to dogmatism from all sides. I would love to support you, but need to believe that you are going to say the things that I think the country needs to hear, and that you are honest enough to actually follow through on your promises: 1. Tax cuts in a time of crisis are ludicrous. Of course it would be wonderful if everyone could benefit from a tax reduction, but we are facing the most serious threat to our nation's continued prosperity and integrity that we have ever encountered (at least since the Civil War). Providing tax cuts for the wealthy and middle class is an irresponsible gesture that signals a slavish addiction to the politics of pandering and a failure to recognize the need for national cohesion in the face of danger. 2. The threat from our enemies is real. It must be met with an increase in funding for the military, homeland security and funding for the rebuilding of Iraq. 3. The potential for cooperation with our allies around the world is unrealized. Whether we like it or not, we are leaders of an international community, and that position of leadership carries with it the responsiblity to acknowledge the viewpoints and contributions of those who express responsible positons, even tough they may disagree with us. The myth of American independence can only serve to undermine our continued prominence. 4. Domestically, the focus needs to be on funding new technologies and business development. We need to be at the forefront of building a sustainable economic future. That means funding education, research and development and public-private partnerships. Otherwise, I agree with everything I've read about your policy positions. However, without a clear, strong vision of the need for national cooperation at a time when it is most needed, I fear that the Democratic candidate will have no chance of defeating President Bush (who I think has been a reactionary on every front.) Sincerely, Mark Fellowes

Being a supporter of Michael Moore and the voice he speaks for those who haven't the opportunity, I was floored to see his support of a General for president. I wish I were more farmiliar with you and your political stance, but I promise I will. I Know that thus far I am as impressed I have ever been with a potential candidate in my 28 years of life and the 10 of my voting life. I promise to you that I will spead the word if you promise to make your voice heard. I feel that this country as Michael Moore stated is headed for destruction if we don't make a change and make it quickily. I fear our Government, for it self, and by itself could be the cause of civil unrest witin our borders and tear this country apart. I am a very spiritual person who has recently discovered the spiritual side of myself which has made my demeanor change, in effect opening my eyes to the hipocracy of religion and those such as President Bush who use it as a tool rather than it's intended purpose of kindness and feeling. We need to talk, not fight. Respect, not invade. Help not solve. You sound like a man who has found the strength we all possess, if we can be still and see the peace inside us. I have been lucky enough to see that in myself, and know that people every day awaken to the realization that we are all life and life is all of us. We all need to wake up! I feel you can help to achieve that. This country needs your help, and in turn the world will thank you!

Early on, I believed you might be the ideal candidate, one who could not be demonized by the RNC and those who dominate the Republican Party. Now, I'm not so sure. I can forgive your voting for Nixon, since he fooled many who were not very knowledeable about politics, as military personnel tend to be, and perhaps even Reagan, although his limited intelligence was obvious to anyone who paid attention. But to praise this administration? Very difficult to understand. I still have an open mind, but it will take some doing to get my primary vote. In any case, I will definitely support anyone who wins the nomination. Bush truly endangers this nation.

Thanks, General Clark, for entering the race to become president of the United States. Your credentials make you uniquely qualified. As you address America's perilous economic state, please help to educate the public on the matter of what we pay in interest on the national debt -- something in the neighborhood of $200B (approx. 10% of all our federal outlays). That amount would operate at least a dozen states with appropriations the size of my state of Alabama. I am convinced that the American public doesn't have a clue about the size of the national debt and the huge amounts of money that are required to pay the interest. By the way, if you took $6.8T and counted one dollar every second, it would take over 216,000 years to complete the task. Or if you lined up $6.8T end to end, they would circle the earth at the equator more than 22,000 times. And, as you know, the vast majority of the national debt was run up during Republican administrations. Please help us to grasp the insidious threat this "borrow and spend" policy represents to our children and our children's children. Thanks for your willingness to serve. We desperately need your leadership.

Dear Sir: I watched your debate last night, and please forgive me for the following recommendation. I would recommend that you communicate more about your biography. Firstly, even on this website there's very little information about your life pre-1966. I understand that unfortunately you lost your father at a young age. In addition, to the emotional distress, I would imagine that this also caused you and your family economic dislocation. This experience and biography, I think would help form anc communicate an emotional bond with Americans that are currently disaffected by the economy and minorities. In comparison, it was Bill Clinton in his 92 campaign that sealed the deal with me, when I learned that he grew up poor in Hope, Arkansas rather than his policy positions. Go get them.

Dear General Clark, thank you for throwing your hat in the ring. I've spoken with several active duty, reservists, guardsmen & retirees who all agree with your decision to run. We need a President with leadership, vision, diplomacy & integrity. Unfortunately, Mr. Bush seems to lack all. I would not even consider an alliance with Mr. Dean, as he is completely unelectable outside the Northeast. I try to stay out of politics, but have to defend my views as a Conservative Democrat at times. I believe you have the wherewithall to draw from the base Democratic constituency(I don't mean the whacko activists whom I consider extremists & not Demcrats at all) & many moderate to mainstream conservative Republicans. In other words, a uniter, not a divider as Mr. Bush claimed to be. I come from a family with a long military tradition & we are all confident in you. I don't believe the Limbaugh Lie Machine of you being a Clinton puppet. You couldn't have gotten as far as you have if you were not your own man. I believe that most of the Clark-bashers on here are scared to death that a true military veteran will annihilate their own candidate. My apologies for posting anonymously, but the powers that be would probably not hesitate in subjecting myself or others to the UCMJ for so-called "insubordination". As a military professional, I follow my orders no matter who the Commander-in-Chief is. However, as a citizen, I wish the best for this great nation. I know we can do much better. Good luck General & keep pushing on. Myself, my wife & many others are looking forward to a Clark presidency in January 2004.

Denise: Stop your whining and play fair. If you think Dean deserves to be President don't you want him to earn the nomination fair and square? No, you want the General to take a dive so your man Dean can win. Where I come from that's called CHEATING. Let Dean and the General compete on their own merits. Don't you think that' fair Denise? When you interviewed for your job did you ask another interviewee who is interviewing for the job you want to "swallow their pride" and take a dive? You and your Dean cronies should be ashamed of yourselves. Here's the new Dean campaign slogan "GENERAL SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE SO WE CAN CHEAT". Get a clue.

I'm Belgian and I can tell you, we in Europe we don't like Bush. But when My friens and I heard Wesley Clark would like to be president, we were delighted. Europeans have had a very good experience with Mr Clark when he was the head of NATO. I think with Mr. Clark Europe and the US would come together, as well of the rest of the World. I really hope he"ll make it.

To Richard Bell: The office of the President of the United States and Commander and Chief is a "leadership" role. I'm not sure what your definition of "leader" is but I don't think it's specific to just giving direct orders. As a matter of fact it would make sense to me that someone in charge or "in Command" would be more inclined to give orders than someone who leads a nation. I believe true leaders encourage input from their peers and subordinates in order to devise a plan or policy to solve a problem or issue. So if you're waiting for Wes Clark to satisfy your definition of a leader, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Mr. General Clark, Hello, my name is Abraham Barragnon. It is my pleasure to be writing to you on behalf of COC, in Valencia California. I wish to represent you and your election. I was wondering if it would be possible to ask you for a moment to answer a few subjects that concerned me. It would be highly appreciated. What were your original purposes for your wanting to become the next president? Why president? What are your views on tax reform? If you could, please explain to me what areas do you feel need to be reconstructed to maximize the benefits to citizens as well as reduced over taxation? What are your views on the issues of abortion, and citizens’ rights to fire arms, and what about the discussion behind gay marriages? I’m also interested as to what your beliefs are on increasing our military or how long will you expect our soldiers to be in the Middle Eastern conflict? These were a few of my questions, thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter. I hope to hear back from you soon. Take care, and good luck. Your Friend, Abraham Barragnon

Dear General Clark, I am so pleased to hear that you are running for president. I am an advocate for a living wage not only because it is the right thing to do, but also because I believe that it will cure many of our economic and social problems. Higher wages for the working poor would stimulate the economy, reduce crime and fear, and decrease the need for social programs such as food stamps. Following is a brief essay that I wrote about the living wage issue: When it comes to Bush, let’s not throw out the baby with the bath water. First, let’s remove the bathwater so we can see the baby. I do not agree with Bush’s rationale for going to war. I seldom ever agree with going to war. I also do not agree with paying for a war while reducing taxes. This policy puts the financial burden on our children. Now, let’s look at the “baby.” I do agree with Bush’s attitude that “if it’s the right thing to do, we will take on whatever financial challenge it takes to deal with it.” This leads to my argument for a living wage. It is simply immoral that millions of Americans are working full-time and even overtime, yet living in poverty or near-poverty. There is no excuse for this situation in the richest country in the world. We should feel ashamed! Some economists argue that the US economy cannot afford to increase the minimum wage to a living wage. I am not an economist, and I cannot predict the effect on the economy. Here is where I agree with Bush: “if it’s the right thing to do, we will take on whatever financial challenge it takes to deal with it.” Period. However, doing the right thing does not only benefit the poor, it benefits the middle and upper classes by: · Reducing our fear of crimes committed because people are poor. · Infusing money/spending into the economy. · Reducing the tax burden related to Medicaid, food stamps, etc. · Relieving our collective guilt that our neighbors are hungry and cold. We are a very industrious nation, and I believe that we can find a way to create economic justice and a vibrant economy at the same time.

To say, "i haven't had time to put togther a detailed program on these issues", sounds pretty feeble. I prop ose something like the following: "I haven't had time to put together one of these detailed programs but I think that is all to the good. I feel that having such detailed programs is wholly unrealistic. We are tempted to assume that such programs will be enacted. Now you know and I know that is not going to happen. Detailed legislative programs have to be put together in consultation with cabinet officers, with the leading figures in Congress, with many people outside governmnet before it can be submitted to the Congress. Then it surely will be modified by the give and take of Congressional debate. Instead of that, I propose to outline the principles I would suppor as guiding the formulation of the programs that we would then submit to the Congress.

I am a high school teacher in Prince George’s County, Maryland teaching Government and U.S. History. I teach the next generation of voters. It is a hefty responsibility to encourage people to get involved in politics, especially when you are dealing with a low income, transitional population. I am requesting that you send my school the following things: 1. Campaign Signs for your candidate 2. Leaflets and other information regarding your candidate 3. The candidate (although U.S. Postal service is not the recommended mode for this, but a speaking engagement can be arranged!) 4. Any additional materials appropriate for high school age students. Once I have received information from your candidate, I assure you, I will devote time to addressing the candidate’s stance on issues. The face of America is changing and it is starting to look like Prince George’s County. Please provide me with information to help develop young leaders. Sincerely, Caron M.

No Stacy I think you're an oxymoron. If you don't like a General who is principled in solving important issues that America faces then join the "so called" conservatives that got us into this mess. I guess the people up in Alsaska aren't interested in a presidential cadidate who states unequivically that they are "pro-environment". Or are you a neocon in disguise? Coward!? And manyh liberals aren't defined by their own kind as anti-war, that's a label from the outside. Any reasonably astute liberal will tell you that war is sometimes a necessary evil under just causes. Or would you rather be under the regime of Hitler? So go back to saving whales (if you're into that kind of thing), this country has bigger whales to fry. Think about that when you get your next medical bill.

Is there a way for General Clark to use the catch-phrase "Declare War On Joblessness" or "Launch a Pre-emptive Strike On Joblessness", or "Shocked and Awed at the Rate of Bush's Policy on the economy?" I think that if this is used wisely, it would resonate very well because it automatically brings out a negative vibe for Bush. For some of us who've listened to the General, especially during the war, we know he's a very good, analytical thinker - unlike Mr. I-Forgot-about-osama-bush.

Hello Mr. Clark, I hope you will read what I have to say. America is in trouble. In the past three years I have seen thousands of my fellow engineers being layed off to be replaced with cheaper workers overseas. Our technological advantage is being shipped overseas. Every engineer that I know is for free trade, but it is not fair when a foreign worker is paid 1/10 of an American salary. America has to remain strong in technology, and engineers and scientists are part of that. It has also affected manufacturing jobs as well. Both white collar and blue collar jobs are being affected. If you will promise to help us, then you have my vote. Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

When you eventually become our next, truly elected President, please, Sir, please don't forget to remove the unjust policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and replace it legislation that bases a military servicemember's career not on who or what he/she is, genetically, but on his/her actions and character.

We need a "Value Added Tax(VAT)" to be placed on all items sold in this country except food, groceries, utilities, gasoline, and other basic necessities of life. The proceeds should pay for universal health care, 100% of prescription drugs, social security, and most, if not all, social programs. Business should drop current health, presciption drug insurance coverage. We need to remove as many impediments(taxes, regulations) as feasible from business to enhance employment. Each citizen deserves a FAIR wage---not the minimum wage. Each citizen that desires to work should be employed at a FAIR wage. Imported goods should be subject to the VAT AND a Fair Wage Tax(as if their employees had been paid a Fair Wage). U.S./Multinational Corporations would be fined EXHORBITANTLY for sending jobs, contracting for work outside the U.S. WE NEED GOOD JOBS IN THE UNITED STATES! WE NEED TO CEASE SENDING JOBS OVERSEAS, BRING JOBS BACK, AND CREATE NEW JOBS! Personally believe VAT should take the place of the IRS. Certainly, all businesses, corporations should be relieved of ALL IRS taxes. Employees of unnecessary federal, state, local programs ended due to removal of medicare, medicade, IRS should continue receiving comparable pay for two years. VAT is the ONLY fair tax----IRS rules are written to excuse the rich, powerful from their fair share. How many pages in the IRS rules? God Bless You and Yours!

Hi Gen. Clark Hope you won't be bashfull to show everyone your DD-214. -Seems to me our current Commander-in Chief is ashamed of his. As a 60's era Air Force GI (E-3 SAC) I feel like Pres.Bush has forgotten that he had every opportunity to be a hero as a fighter pilot in 'Nam. Worse than that he's pretending that 58,000+ families in this country don't matter,but his re-election as a "Navy Fighter Jock" against the "Evil One" does. You were in 'Nam, I wasn"t,but several of my buddies were. Do A google search for "Lima Site 85" and you'll know what I mean. Best wishes for you on your debate tonight.Carry that DD-214 with you and don't be afaind to flaunt it. Ron

General Clark, As a member of the military, I have great respect for you and admire your distinguished career. You are an individual that understands what it is to truly serve your country. Although I am impressed by your past, I am worried about your candidacy. I am worried that you have surrounded yourself with liberal Democrats and people of questionable character. If I am to believe the media, you are a friend of the Clintons. Bill Clinton is not a person of questionable character; he is an individual that lacks any character. He disgraced the office of the president as well as that of commander in chief. I would think, that you of all people would understand how poorly the Clinton administration dealt with the military. Bill Clinton did not understand or value the military. I was in the US Army during his presidency and I remember the low morale that all service member’s felt. We never talked harshly about the president. He was the commander in chief and as soldiers we would not talk badly about the chain of command. It was never spoken aloud, but we knew the president did not care about the soldiers or their families. I think you need to look in the mirror and realize you have aligned yourself with a group that is undermining the foundation of this great nation. The Democratic Party is determined to ensure that the office of the presidency is ran by someone who lacks integrity, ethics and values. This is because the Democrats only value themselves. Their policies are molded by what is popular and not what is morally right. Please reconsider your candidacy. If not for yourself, do it for the proud men and women who currently serve our country with dedication and devotion. Regards, William M. Heintz

Please, General Clark - We need you more than ever at this time in our Country's history. We need to get sensibility back into government. President Bush has come as close as any polititian to destroying this country. We have to show that we CARE for our great allies, we CARE for people out of jobs, we CARE about schools, our country's infrastructure and we also CARE for our troops abroad. Please take these issues into account. You will surely win!! Respectfully, Jim Clark

Two simple things to remember when running for president. Since NONE of the democrats running seem to realize what people want to hear I decided to drop these few lines in the case that they will cross your ears somehow(more than likely not). 1. Let the current president and the people know that the tax cut that he gave to himself and his rich friends will be paid for by our country's grandchildren. 2. Please answers the questions as forthcoming as you did on the Chris Matthews show. Let the people know, in a modest way, that your opponent isn't doing that. 3. Don't whine about the economy in a way that reflects the idea that you want to increase taxes. NOONE wants to hear that. Taking money from people who cannot possibly spend all the income that they have in their lifetime and giving it to those who can is always better than saying you'll raise taxes. Remember the majority of Bush's tax cut went to only 3% of the wealthiest. If you do these three things and what you already have been doing you will win. Whoever receives this e-mail realize this is what the "pulse" of America is thinking. Disregard it and you will certainly fail. We'll be watching and good luck.

Dear General Clark, I am a resident of Havana, Florida and was supporting a good man, Senator Bob Graham, to be our next president ... that is until you finally threw your hat into the ring. I admire Senator Graham immensely, but I worry about his health and his age in such a grueling position as president of our country. I was born into a military family--my father retired a Lieutenant Colonel in the USAF--he is now buried in Arlington National Cemetery, after fighting in three wars, and I'm as proud to be an American as he was. That's why I want to support your bid to become our next president. I've seen this country suffer under the present "regime," and honestly feel that given another 4 years to wreak havoc on our economy and our foreign policy (not to mention the environment and citizen morale), George Bush will destroy America from the inside out without the help of terrorists. So, if you happen to read this email among the thousands of others I know you'll receive, please let me know what I can do to help. Thanks very much and best of luck to you. Karen J.

Vous voyez comme je suis un adversaire " fair play ". J'ai beaucoup d'estime pour vous ( sinon je ne vous écrirai pas ces lignes .). Je ne tiens pas à blesser un adversaire politique de votre qualité . En France il y a des esprits simples comme Maxime Brunerie , qui croient qu'en tirant avec une arme sur un homme politique règle les problèmes . Tenez moi , m'imaginez vous tirer sur Jacques Chirac : il sert trop mes intérets car plus il parle , plus il dit des aneries . Alors j'attends toujours avec plaisir les discours de Mr Chirac . Ils servent tellement mes intérets .On dirait qu'il a été programmé par Dieu (ou l'etre supreme ) pour cela . Comme la nature est bien faite ( et si multilatérale ) :regardez les sept nains : il y a savant , il ya ....simplet , grincheux , dormeur etc ....... Il n'y a rien de plus beau qu'un univers multilatéral . Malheureusement l'univers multilatéral des sept nains n'a pas sauvé Blanche Neige de la pomme de la méchante sorcière .Bien sur si j'avais été "Terminator " , j'aurai mis mon poing dans la figure de la méchante sorcière et l'on m'aurait taxé d'unilatéral .Mais ne pensez vous pas que pour freiner les ardeurs de Pat Hibulaire Saddam il fallait bien Mickey Bush pour en finir avec le régime ennemi numéro un des Etats Unis utilise des moyens unilatéraux . Imaginez un commandemet à deux tetes avec Jacques Chirac ? Oh non ! Alors la , pour le coup cela aurait été le chaos .

Dear General Clark, As a recently retired music and history teacher I have watched your intelligent commentaries during the recent and ongoing conflict with Iraq. Since I didn't and don't agree with the way the current administration entered this conflict and also oppose many of its domestic policies, I queried myself about how the American public could get President Bush out of office and what Democratic candidate would be strong enough to run against him. Before you or anyone suggested that you run for president, I thought to myself that you would be a strong candidate in a presidential race, much like General Eisenhower after WW II. Since you have finally declared yourself a candidate, I've followed your speeches on CNN and as a guest speaker at some universities. Your September 24th speech confirmed my instincts about your educational policies as well as domestic and international policies. I fully intend to support your campaign and will do what I can to spread the word. You are an amazingly intelligent and gifted speaker who does not rely on sound bytes and truely knows the specifics of domestic and foreign policy. It is plain to see that other world leaders would be willingly to work with you, America, and the united nations of our global village to attack so many of the pressing problems we all face. Please stay in the race and speak as frequently as possible in the media and with the public at large as you travel around our great country. My hardiest wishes for your and our nation's success, Robert Bachle Fullerton, CA

Dear Wesley lark, I've been watching the national news and am disturbed by what I see. This is not unusual but I find myself more than unusually depressed and disgusted by what I see. I encourage you to maintain absolute integrity in this campaign you have embarked upon. When I see our current batch of politicians in the news I am embarassed and sick to be american. Bush has lied and lied and lied again. I guess I'm quite unamerican to wish the man would just shut up and disappear. I am equally ashamed of having thought Powell was someone to admire and respect after viewing the video tape of him lying repeatedly about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. All I can say is that I encourage you to maintain honor and integrity in both ;your personal life and in your public life. I have believed in you as the best possible president we as americans can have. I do not envy you the position you seek. I do have the utmost respect and admiration for you however and I do pray that your bid for president somes about.

Mr. General Clark, Hello, my name is Abraham Barragnon. It is my pleasure to be writting to you on behalf of COC, in Vallencia Callifornia. I wish to represent you and your election. I was wondering if it would be prossible to ask you for a moment to answer a few subjects that concerned me. It would be highly apreciated. What were your original purposes for your wanting to become the next president? Why president? What are your views on tax reform? If you could, please explain to me what areas do you feel need to be reconstructed to maximize the benifits to citizens as well as reduced over taxation? I was also curious as to what are your views on the issues of abortion, citizens rights to fire arms, and what about the disscussion behing gay marrages? Im also interested as to what your beliefs are on increasing our military, or how long will you expect our soldiers to be in the middle eastern conflict? These were a few of my questions, thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter. I hope to hear back from you soon. Take care, and good luck! sincerly, Abraham Barragnon

General Clark, My name is Andrew Oliver, and I'm a 26 year old moderate democrat. I've been anxiously awaiting your entrance into this race for about 6 months now. It's been obvious to me for quite some time that there was no democratic candidate with the clear ability to beat Bush. It is, of course, all important that one of the worst presidents in our history not luck his way into another term, and I believe your candidacy will prevent that. What is also clear to me at this point, is that your military past will be attacked by both friends of this administration, and those in the military that have been envious of you throughout your career. As the son of an army captain, I know a little bit about military mentality. My opinion of you is that you are a "good general", as opposed to a "run-of-the-mill general". The "run-of-the-mill generals" are the hawks that failed to predict any of the complications we are currently seeing in Iraq. A "good general" is simply more educated, more insightful, more willing to challenge imperialistic thinking, and essentially more talented. You can and should market yourself exactly that way, as a more talented military mind than those who might critisize you. As someone who might be critisized by those who don't like the fact that they and the majority of their military peers are wrong about a lot of things. President Bush is a lifelong failure in just about everything he has ever done. He let the aftermath of 9/11 go to his head, and he felt that for once in his life, he was being respected for something he accomplished on his own. It is his own personal insecurities that has lead our country into the chaos it is in. If you continue to be the general with a brain that you are, you will unseat George W. Bush. Good Luck, Andrew Oliver

Dear General Clark, Please Help!!! The U.S. Government cares more about the middle East than the citizens of the U.S. Where is my Social Security going while we dig the deficit deeper? Why are there millions of people in the U.S. without Health Insurance? Why are millions of Americans still barely surviving on minimum wage? Why are we debating about funding for Public Schools, the Arts, Medicare, HMOs, Homeland Security for cities such as NY, power grids, the environment and more... while our money is being squandered by a President who we did not elect, in a war that we should not be in. And if we can get out... what is the plan and how soon can we do it? Win the 2004 election! I apologize for not being able to monetarily contribute to your campaign, however I am broke after paying my high deductable HMO health Insurance.

Dear General: I am a registered republican, but a moderate, and would like to cross-over for the primary to vote for you. I would love to see "how-to" information for this somewhere on your web-site. To me, you seem like the only centrist with the necessary economic and martial qualifications. President Bush sold himself as a centrist, but his record seems to be almost solely directed towards the wealthy and his conservative GOP base. This is what embarasses me about being a republican, but I cannot bring myself to support the trial attorneys in any way, shape, or form. I think that I am part of the GOP demo (i.e., the moderates) that can help you - and none of us are included in the democratic polls. Please let me know how I can help. Sincerely, Jim Hines

I'm not an American, so I, unfortunately, cannot vote, but it's imperative that there be change in the US government. Whatever happened to democracy? It's a sham in your country and something has to be done about it. If the US wishes to regain it's place as a an admired nation, governmental change MUST take place. It's a dangerous path, Bush and Co. are taking and someone has to stop them. Also, as have been noted in other letters, support legislation to have accountability in the election process. There cannot be another Florida fiasco. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

General Clark, Thank you for deciding to campaign for the Presidency. Let me assure you that you have my vote as well as my wife and all of our adult children(4). If I may offer a bit of food for thought, I (a life long die hard Democrat and Retired Chief Petty Officer) once voted for Ronald Reagan. Reagan was very pro military and was once a Democrat himself, as was Colin Powell and Dr. Rice. That's what so great about this country. You can vote for who ever you want, regardless of party. It seems that some of our fellow Democrats have over looked this fact. Thanks again and good luck to you sir.

I hope the General climbs on board this train. Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/oh10_kucinich/030924TruePatriot.html For Immediate Release Contact: Doug Gordon Wednesday, September 24, 2003 (202) 225-5871 (w) Kucinich Introduces Bill To Repeal Sections Of USA PATRIOT Act First Comprehensive Bill Introduced To Undo PATRIOT Act Today, Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), Co-Chair of the Progressive Caucus, introduced legislation into the US House of Representatives to repeal more than ten sections of the USA PATRIOT Act. "Twenty-four months after the September 11th attacks, this nation has undergone a dramatic political change, leading to an unprecedented assault on the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights," stated Kucinich. The bill, titled the "Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act", repeals sections of the USA PATRIOT Act that authorize sneak and peak searches, warrentless library, medical, and financial record searches, and the detention and deportation of non-citizens without meaningful judicial review. Beyond the PATRIOT Act the bill also cements the fundamental right of attorney-client privilege and restores transparency in the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security by revoking FOIA secrecy orders, along with other important provisions. "After September 11th, Americans did not authorize the deterioration of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments," continued Kucinich. "At a time when over 200 years of Americans' faith in civil liberties is endangered by two years of fear, I believe that with the 'True Patriot Act', this Congress can achieve both liberty and safety for all Americans." The bill is supported by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Religious Action Center of Reformed Judaism. In addition the bill has 20 Congressional co-sponsors.

Mister Clark. I'm not a US citizen. I'm mexican. And I fear your country. I fear your government. I fear the US because of what I have seen in recent years (though a longer term historic research would show the abuse is not new). What Bush has been doing has no name. He and no one else is the first and main terrorist of the world. I don't know in what moment he will turn his highly stupid eyes towards my own country. I wonder: how is it possible that your people allowed him to aquire such power? Anyway. If Michael Moore is right about you (and I think he is), then I dare to invite you to do something for the world. To do something to reduce the hate the world feels about US. To do something really important. Run for president of your country. Best regards.

To all the detractors of Wesley Clark like Jack King, Beaver Cleaver and the sissyhawks who post here but prefer to remain anonymous because they don't have the spine to stand up and be counted for their beliefs I say to you. At least Wesley and his supporters give you the option to post on this site. I don't see the Bush people willing to risk the wrath of the American people by having such a public forum. If it bothers you to hear the truth regarding Bush and his cohorts then I suggest you go back to listening to the "Newspeak" on Fox. I leave you with this quote by the author of 1984. "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act". - George Orwell

General Clark, I am a senior at Texas A&M University and an economics major. Many of my classes have been following the economic downfall since the beginning of Bush's presidency, but still refuse to hold him accountable for any of it. I first saw you speak with Bill Maher and I was impressed and instantly moved by your words. I have been very disappointed with the candidates already on the ballot and was distraught by the fact that I really didn't want to vote for any of them. However, after I saw you speak, I immediately called my family and friends (even the ones who are republicans) and told them they had to check you out for themselves. Well, I already know of many votes you will get here in Texas. You are the type of well-spoken, charismatic, and level headed person that would be an honor to have as president. Good Luck!

General Clark I am a political science major at the University of Missouri Columbia. I have been following politics most of my life and your message really caught my eye. I grew up in a Republican family, but not all things are genetic. My firm belief has always been to stand behind the man and what he believes not his label, and Mr. Clark I stand behind you. I am graduating in May 2004 and I would love to go to work for you and your campaing for the Presidency. It would truly be an honor to work on your campaing staff and I truly believe that you will be the next President of the United States. Many Thanks, Laura J. Robinson

Dear General Clark, My name is Chris and I am a senior at High School, in Spooner Wisconsin. I, along with many of my friends, will be able to vote in the next presidental election. I am researching the many candidates positions on the issues that concerne me. Some of the issues that are important to me are the enviroment, health care, education, the death penalty, and the economy. I was at you website today and I could not find any information about your position on education and the death penalty. These issues are important to me as the son of two public school teachers, and hopefully as a future public school teacher myself. I would like to know your views on these important issues. Thank your for your dedication to the American people! Sincerely, Chris Rubesch

Dear Mr. Clark, My name is Ignacio Romero and as a former service member of the Active Army I am proud to see a former service member lead the way. I am also proud and confident that your leadership skills will bring this nation together again. Everywhere I walk, run, drive, listen, talk and read there this divisiveness that is tearing our country apart. Our current leader has done absolutely nothing and yet he smiles with great denial. Fears are gearing high as Americans are becoming intensively polorized. Prime examples of how the country is intensively divided begins with U.S Congress debates that are essential for our democratic fundamentals but with actions from the majority to subvert the minority's view. The U.S Senate is clearly divided, again the majority party subverting the minority party. From Florida to Texas to Colorado, and California there are political battles happening as part of a nationwide conspiracy from the right-wing to subvert the democratic fundamentals of this nation. I am happy to say that I proudly served this nation to protect the Constitution of the United States from foreign and domestic enemies. I am also proud to have you on board so you can "lead us not into temptation but liberate us from evil." Sir, I am confident that we will WIN! Let's call this OPERATION U.S FREEDOM. Ignacio Romero PS: I await for your correspondences.

General Clarke, when GW ran for Gov. of Tx. I hosted a party for the news, hispanic leaders and GW in my home, He was fair for texas but bad for the country. I would like to host a Dallas event for you as I truly feel you are what America needs today. I have a strong belief in you and would love to be a part of serving in your army. I am president of a national company and fairly political. I have close friends in the House and the Senate on both sides of the isle and you have the ability and opportunity to unify this country and return us to the respectability in the world we once enjoyed. You understand leadership . This country is a Godly country but what we have done in the eyes of the world is not Godly b ut deceitful. We can be the strongest nation in the world through "tough love" in leadership and not agressive behavior. I could go on and on so as to prove my point but would rather work for the next president of this great country. You need only speak to Congressmen Martin Frost to learn of my dedication to those who need me. My home address is 5627 Covehaven Dr. Dallas , Tx 75252 and my phone is 3972-3801547.

Dear General Clark, I graduated from the Evergreen State College a few years ago. The Evergreen State College was recently put on the map when a classmate and fellow activist, Rachel Corrie was killed last year by an Israeli bulldozer. ESC has always been a school that encouraged and taught students to question the answers and address the ripple effect of global decisions. So, needless to say many of us are inundated with political rhetoric that does just that- this is why I write this letter. I recently read an article about you in voice4change that connected you to showing support for the last Iraq War (please see link). http://www.voice4change.org/stories/showstory.asp?file=030919~fair.asp Is this accurate reporting? I'm sure some quotes may have been taken out of context, but I'm not sure how commending President Bush and Prime Minister Blair could be put into context. Also, do you truly believe there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? I have supported you even before you entered the presidential campaign. I truly believe you can beat George Bush- a feat our country desperately needs to see accomplished. As a young democrat, I am sad to say that I represent a generation that has given up on politics and especially our leaders, but I believe you give us hope and a chance to be optimistic about our future. General, I admire you for many things that you have accomplished and for using your privilege to be an agent for those who are targets. The past two+ years have been a challenge for many Americans, but it has also been very telling. Underneath the scores of "United We Stand" stickers and photos of expressions of humanity post 9-11-01, there has been an unsettling truth that has been ignored. As a country, we have neglected our responsibility as a member of a global community. I challenge you to take back the responsibility. All the best, Saoirse McCaig _________________________________ Saoirse "Sersha" McCaig Washington Education Foundation 1605 NW Sammamish Rd. Ste 100 Issaquah, WA 98027 425.416.2017 v 425.416.2001 f

TO ERIC SWIFT: You fall into the "greedy spoiled brat category". Let it be known that people like Eric Swift want their freedom of speech, their "shock and awe" military, homeland security, freedom of religion, right to bear arms, education for their children, and their pursuit of happiness through making a decent income and living the American Dream....BUT OH BY THE WAY ERIC SWIFT WANTS ALL THIS FOR FREE!!! If you support out troops then stop crying and help pay for them too like the rest of us you ingrate of an American. Deficit spending isn't an illusion like many of you crybabies want to believe, it's part of economics. And so are taxes Eric. Maybe you should put your silver spoon down and stop obsessing over the size of your wallet and get some perspective on what issues America is facing and prepare yourself to make some sacrifices to solve these issues like the rest of us.

Please run for president elsewhere. You will make this country worse than it was under Clinton. If you are looking for more accountability for 9/11 and don't plan on addressing illeagal immigration issues, then I think you are running in circles. And on taxation, you couldn't be more wrong. The dream of making more money is one of the things that makes this country great, not making more money for the Government to take as a "privledge tax". You are being misled by the Clintons. You need to cut the puppet strings and be original.

HEY JACK, It's CHICKHAWKS like you that should be on the Iraqi front line. We know what war is like, HELL and POLITICS. You have been duped and blinded by Bush with fear. I would love for guys like you to spend 1 or 2 years in an unnecessary war. You are exactly where Bush et al wants you to be, in fear and wrapped in the flag. Patriotism is about standing up for whats right. And this war is wrong!!! Wake up and smell the NON-BID Halliburton contracts. This is why they want to go it alone. I've heard it all when the CHICKENHAWKS say, "Haliburton is the only US company to do this kind of work." Maybe so, but they are not the only company in the world. It is so sad that most Americans have been so DUMBED DOWN by the BOUGHT and PAID for media morons out there, FOX included. I too, supported this war at first. Our INTEL was doctored and we were duped. Bush with his GO-IT-ALONE arrogance and showed even more arrogance yesterday at the UN. Ask yourself this, Why the rush to war? Why not let the UN take over Iraq? Sounds fishy to me. Bush is motivated by greed and not for the good of Iraqi people nor that of the world.

HEY JACK I'm not sure if you noticed but Bush just went to the UN with his tail between his AWOL legs and asked for help. According to you he shouldn't have even gone that far. Bush has done everything in his power to undermine and illigitimize the UN and in doing so has exposed the TRUTH that the fight against terror is a global effort. In the face of overwhelming evidence that this President's war policies will go down as one of the biggest military blunders ever you continue to show your support for him. Support for our troops isn't about rhetoric, it's about action and it is obvious that Rumsfeld has taken none to support them. In fact, last month they wanted to cut the troops pay. You can spew ignorance all you want but if it's okay with you, we'll just stick to the facts.

To Jack King You are UnAmerican! Our country was founded on the right to free speech, which means that when the idiot in Washington who stole the election starts a war based on greed and "he tried to kill my daddy", EVERY American has a right to voice their opinion. You are obviously one of the dittoheads who try to make true, loyal Americans feel unpatriotic by saying if we don't support the war, we don't support the troops--what a lie! I know of NO Americans who do not support our troops! We support them SO MUCH that we want them out of this insane danger that Dubya has put them in--which is interesting, for someone who was AWOL from the National Guard during Viet Nam...keep listening to Rush and follow him like the lemming you are (by the way, good spelling of "Britton"...I guess Rush should spell out the hard words for his loyal listeners)

Puisque vous vous présentez aux élections , et alors meme que je soutiens G W Bush , regardez comme je suis bon prince : je vous communique des renseignements ( mais ce n'est pas pour trahir Le Président : il en a de toute façon une copie ). Alors mon Général , regardez ce qui se trame dans votre dos : Les chinois participent ( discrétement ) au financement du système satellitaire "Européen " Galileo destiné a etre "concurrent " du système Américain GPS ( en cas de guerre concurrent signifie "ennemi" ). Les Anglais ont eu des entretiens concernant " L'Europe de la défense " ( c'est à dire l'Europe contre les Etats Unis ) , ils souhaiteraient former une défense "indépendante " de l'OTAN en s'appuyant sur des " noyaux durs " ( voir l'article du "Figaro" (journal Français ) de ce jour . quels " noyaux durs " ( l'article ne le dit pas ) : alors moi je donne une liste de " noyaux durs " possibles : Les électeurs de la Stasi qui ont conforté la victoire de Mr Schroeder ? La Chine ? Al Quaida ? ( pourquoi pas : cela expliquerait pourqupoi Mr Chirac baisse sans arret sa colutte devant le monde dit "Arabe " .) Quand vous savez qu'une grande partie de la presse "Française " est controlée par deux marchands d'arme : Hachette ( qui elle meme était controlée par ......Saddam Hussein ...25% du capital à l'époque )et Dassault . Alors vous comprendrez pourquoi Jacques Chirac , lecorrompu vous a entrainé dans une aventure au Kosovo . C'était un moyen de vous occuper sur un front secondaire : le Kosovo ...pendant ce temps la ..se tramait l'attentat du 11 Septembre qui n'est pas un attentat mais une opération militaire concertée et coordonnée , utilisant des civils comme boucliers , otages et alibis . Mais maintenant que Chirac sait qu'il ne pourra plus jouer ce jeu avec vous ...il parle brusquement .. de défense Europénne . Bizarre comme il change ce Chirac ....

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense Gen. Clark, you are the ONLY person who is even remotely talented enough to rescue this country from the ignominious condition which it suffers from both inwardly and worldwide.Why elaborate when it is so obvious to you.My wife and I are not able to contribute financially, but we are using our WebTV and every opportunity to promote you almost as an absolute necessity and only hope for an honorable return to respectability. There is no question in our minds that you wll prevail with an astounding win percentage. I think, at least 58-42 over anyone who is willing to submit to such a whipping. I am not certain that the present personage will be able to accept the prospects of defeat. The Big Business world is pretty queasy about having abject losers in their midst, my 78 yrs. tell me.I wish I hadthe space to tell you exactly why we hold you in the very highest esteem. And it is not because of Gen. McCaffrey(sp) called you a National treasure! You are a treasure to us no matter what happens. Only good will happen if you will believe that everyone out there who is for you is in the same train as we. We love you and will perservere as long as we are around. Loyalty is our byword.

Dear Mr. Clark, For one of your TV ads, you should discredit the PRESIDENT on his Aircraft Carrier moment. He never deserved to exploit any of the elements of our tax dollars and the men and women of the service by charading as a warrior on the deck of the carrier. Your commercial should show GWB in REVERSE, leaving the PODIUM and retreating back to the plane, climbing back up and flying away in reverse. Then you can step in as an honorable war veteran and military leader who has credibility and the respect of those in the armed services. The ad should say, RECALL Bush. He stole the moment as a PATRIOT. He is not a Patriot. He is an opportunist and a chauffer driving the LIMO for his passengers that are attached to his father, carlyle group, haliburton, bechtel, saudi princes, cheney, rummy, wolfowitz, perle and the myriad others who are exercising their power and their will at the expense of us common sense tax paying pawns. His actions have shown the greatest disrespect to not only Americans, but every single person as witness in the world. America needs a new president.

Our nation needs a viable candidate to vote for in the next election. I look forward to learning about your views, and anticipate I will like what I hear. Although I have never been politically active in the past, unlike my father who was a speach writer for Senator McGovern when he ran for President, I do feel driven to actively encourage the removal of our incumbent President. I feel he has misled us in areas far more important and damaging to our country than President Clinton ever did in his lies. I also know that due to our common belief in the importance of honor, I can trust what you say, which is a value that must come back to the White House!

President Clark, Along with these 9 jackasses running from the democratic party, and the grand room temperature IQ idiot in the White House right now you are going to be attacked unlike you have ever been attacked on any battlefield. They are scared and will try to rip into you like wounded animals. General you are facing an enemy more worthy of defeating than any enemy an army can ever face. These enemies have raped, pillaged, looted, and corrupted the greatest nation on earth, while sitting in congress and the White House, the 2 buildings that are lights of freedom and were meant to protect and defend freedom for all of humanity. Its time for you to clean house in a way only a man of your caliber and dignity can do so. Freedom is under attack not only from enemies outside our borders, but also from enemies within. They do not use bombs or hijack airplanes, they sell out the publics interest to the highest bidders, they hijack the public spirit and crash it by misguiding it with their lies, manipulations, treachery, and deceit. This country is being auctioned off to worthless greedy individuals who don't give a damn about this country or its people. General you were willing to die for your nation, and now you must live and fight unlike any other you have ever fought, a fight to save this nation for future generations. Great leaders such as yourself are gifted to this nation so hear the cry of the battlefield, arm yourself and take no prisoners, only one outcome will save this nation and that is the utter and complete defeat of the enemies within this nation. May god be with you and grant you victory. a young supporter, Jay

CLARK BASHING BY THE RIGHT (CAN YOU SAY THEY ARE SCARED?) The backdrop to the Clark-bashing from the White House and its helpers. This from Charlie Cook's weekly newsletter "Off To The Races" ... For the White House, it is particularly important that Clark's credibility be impeached as soon as possible. President Bush now has a 40 percent disapproval rating on "handling foreign policy and terrorism." That is without a Democrat with any credibility in national security having thrown a punch. A credible Clark could inflict some very serious damage on this president, particularly after Bush's admission last week that there was no direct connection between the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and Saddam Hussein. That was news to 69 percent of Americans, who told Washington Post pollsters in August they thought a connection was likely. The Bush campaign cannot afford to have a credible Clark throwing fastballs at them for the next 15 months, whether he is the nominee, running mate or sitting on the sidelines.This isn't rocket science, people. This is how they operate. Don't think it's random. If you go over to the Fox News website, you can see their featured video clip (page down on the left) with Brit Hume repeating the ridiculous Standard-peddled phone log canard : "White House phone logs suggest Wesley Clark is telling tales once again." You've seen this before. As I say, it's how they operate. The only question is whether the legit press gets dragged into it, as they have in the past. It's a test for them. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/sept0304.html#092303125pm GIVE EM HELL WES! THEY'RE RUNNING SCARED!

General Clark, America needs you and you've reported for duty! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I truly cannot imagine anyone more qualified for the job. In regard to foreign policy, obviously, but just as importantly because of your rational intelligence and forthrightness. Additionally, the domestic issues of our nation are complex and there are usually no "easy" issues. For me, your studies in economics/philosophy at Oxford and your experience in the private sector are pluses and will greatly benefit your decision making. I don't care who else is running or who the incumbent is, I want to vote for you. I'm truly sick of the media spin saying, in effect, that I am not really for you but against GWB. Or, that we are only for you because the other candidates don't have a shot at winning. That is a bunch of baloney! In fact, they (the media) really offend me personally when they say that stuff, even though they are saying it to a group. I WANT YOU AS OUR PRESIDENT! I love this country so much and I am wishing you and your family all the best. Take care of yourself during this process and know that people out here are praying for you as well as pulling for you!

Support Legislation requiring Voter-Verified Paper Trail for 2004 Elections In the 2002 election, brand new computer voting systems used in Florida LOST over 100,000 votes due to a software error. Errors and irregularities were also reported in New Jersey, Missouri, Georgia, Texas and at least 10 other states. Widespread speculation about politically connected private company suppliers of these machines having sole access to the software programming has been in the news since the 2000 elections. "We cannot afford nor can we permit another major assault on the integrity of the American electoral process" said Rep. Rush Holt. "Voting should not be an act of blind faith. It should be an act of record, but current law does nothing to protect the integrity of our elections against computer malfunction, computer hackers, or any other potential irregularities." Last October, Congress passed the HELP AMERICA VOTE ACT (HAVA), ground-breaking election reform legislation that is currently helping states replace antiquated and unreliable voting systems. HAVA, however is fueling a rush by states and localities to purchase computer-voting systems that suffer from a serious flaw; Voters and election officials have no way of knowing whether the computers are counting votes properly. Hundreds of nationally renowned computer scientists consider a voter-verified paper trail to be a critical safeguard for the accuracy, integrity and security of computer-assisted elections. THE VOTER CONFIDENCE AND INCREASED ACCESSIBILITY ACT OF 2003 would require all voting machines to produce an actual paper record by 2004 that voters can view to check the accuracy of their votes and that election officials can use to verify votes in the event of a computer malfunction, hacking or other irregularity and requires mandatory surprise recounts in a portion of both domestic and overseas jurisdictions. "A recount requires that there be a reliable record to check," said Holt. "We can and should do this in time for the 2004 federal election." Pease show your support of this legislation by signing this petition, Sharing it with your friends, and urging your representatives to support bill H.R. 2239.

With your unquestionable leadership, foreign policy credentials and love for our country, you have earned my respect and, when the time comes, my vote as well. General Clark, America needs you.

It is great to have a bright military leader in the race, one who can beat Bush. Bush speaks of compassion, but his actions are louder than his words. I am a former military officer, federal prosecutor, and now in private practice in Dallas, Texas. I now represent survivors of suicides against psychiatrists who dropped the ball. (I saw, as a base commander you attempted to reduce teen-age suicide). What is your position on tort reform? I am against it, but will vote for you irrespective of your position.

THIS IS HOW THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WILL BE STOLEN!!!!! Fellow citizens, no matter who you may feel is the best candidate for the democratic party the below article gives you an idea how Bush and the Republican Right will steal the next presidential election without the involvement of the courts this time. If you love freedom and democracy then protect your right to have free and open elections, demand that touch screen voting provide a paper trail. Beware of Bush and the people that surround him. Please read this article.------An Open Invitation of Election Fraud (Diebold/Bev Harris)Not only is the country's leading touch-screen voting system so badly designed that votes can be easily changed, but its manufacturer is run by a die-hard GOP donor who vowed to deliver his state for Bush next year. As if the public image of punch-card voting machines had not already been bruised and battered enough, on Sept. 15 the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals went for the K.O. Punch-card voting, a three-judge panel of the court said in its ruling halting the California gubernatorial recall election, is an embarrassment to our high-tech times: "Just as the black and white fava bean voting system of revolutionary times was replaced by paper balloting, and the paper ballot replaced by mechanical lever machine, newer technologies have emerged to replace the punch-card, including optical scanning and touch screen voting." But according to Bev Harris, a writer who has spent more than a year investigating the shadowy world of the elections equipment industry, the replacement technologies the court cited may be worse -- much worse -- than the zany punch-card systems it finds so abhorrent. Specifically, Harris' research into Diebold, one of the largest providers of the new touch-screen systems, ought to give elections officials pause about mandating an all-electronic vote. Harris has discovered that Diebold's voting software is so flawed that anyone with access to the system's computer can change the votes without leaving any record. On top of that, she's uncovered internal Diebold memos in which employees seem to suggest that the vulnerabilities are no big deal. The memos appear to be authentic -- Diebold even sent Harris a notice warning her that by posting the documents on the Web, she was infringing upon the company's intellectual property. Diebold did not return several calls for comment.The problems Harris uncovered are not all that surprising; technologists have been warning of the potential for serious flaws in electronic voting systems -- especially touch-screen systems -- for years. In July, scientists at Johns Hopkins and Rice found that security in Diebold's voting software fell "far below even the most minimal security standards applicable in other contexts." The report prompted Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich to order a review of the Diebold systems used in his state. Many of the world's most highly regarded computer scientists have called on voting companies to build touch-screen systems that print a paper ballot -- a "paper trail" -- in order to reduce the risk of electronic tampering. more… http://salon.com/tech/feature/2003/09/23/bev_harris/index.html

THE WORLD needs an honest and respected leader of the United States. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to diplomatically deal with our "former" friends and allies around the world. And one who will first and foremost address the needs of the general populace of our own country and not just certain special interest groups. General Clark, this country needs a leader of your character and experience. We welcome your entering the race for President of the United States of America.

We help, support, and provide for eachother within and outside of our country's borders. Your stand on the issues are clear and smart, you are what America needs to get through these difficult times, in both foreign and domestic policy. The experience you hold is impressive and qualifies you way above all other candidates. Please continue your campaigning and know that you have support from Americans all over the world, you definitely have my vote.

It is refreshing to see someone interested in the presidency who has true intelligence, knows the meaning of earning respect, and has a proven track record for serving this country. We desperately need balance, moderation, and common sense in the White House. We need someone like you to bring back the dignity to this position. Most of all, we need to do the right thing with this office, which should be to inspire the people, set an example for other countries, and propagate justice, and protect the people, creatures, and environment--not just of this country, but as the most powerful and wealthy country in the world, we need to bring justice to people in other countries as well. It is time to overcome our arrogant isolationism and have a president that is willing to get involved in the issues, not try to lead from afar from an ivory tower. It is past time for change, I hope you can help. This country needs REAL leadership!

General Clark, If you win the Presidency, I hope that you address the many troubling issues before us. Among them are the fact that we are running the highest deficit in the history of the U.S. Also, the amount of unemployment and job loss that this country is experiencing, i.e. losing jobs overseas. And, the problem with social security slipping to the point that I'll have to be 90 before I can draw S.S. insurance. Not to mention the fact that I'll probably be broke due to the price of presciption drug medication. All these problems need to be dealt with now, not sometime in the far off distant future. Remember, your largest support base will come from the middle-age and retired group of Americans that will choose to support or not support your candidency depending on your platform. Not to be considered the least of all these problems, is the Iraq issue. We cannot afford either financially or materially to continue at the level we are currently at. How would you solve this problem?

Dear Mr. Clark: America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. As an American who has made a career of working abroad for US corporations, I believe we need a moderate but firm leader. We need a leader that has experience in protecting America's interests. We need someone who acts with the wisdom, fairness and graceful strength that people would like to associate with the ruler of the world's greatest nation. Many of us believe you are this leader. We have seen you exhibit these qualities in your demeanor and in your professional career. Because you embody these qualities, many of us would support your campaign. I thus wholeheartedly encourage you to run for President. Sincerely,

To Edward Holman: A very eloquent statement that suggests that you're pretentiously full of crap. Society is made up of people who vote to elect the heads of State and the State makes the laws. Therefore society has a direct link to the State. People don't vote on the premise that the Government can do nothing for them or their fellow Americans except rule independently of them and protect them. Anyone who does vote with this perception does not have a perspective beyond their own, they care only for what pertains to them. I vote not just for myself but with my fellow Americans in mind. From the farmer in Bloomington Indiana to the broker on Wall St., from the lobster fisherman in Camden Maine to the computer wiz in Silicon Valley, as individuals and as fellow Americans I want they and their families to do well, from their healthcare to their children's education. Maybe this sounds like a self-righteous pity party to some but I really could give a damn. I say this as someone who earns a better than decent income and has no reason to complain about their own personal prosperity. But it's sad indeed that so many people are left behind because policy makers are willing to essentially take money from a few narcissistic minority who just don't get the concept of a America. The heads of State don't mind mingling with societies corporations who give them big donations. There's your problem. As long as money remains the bottom line there will be no equality under the law that the States make or enforce.

Dear Mr. Clark, Our great country has suffered ill turns within the past few years. The well being of our economy has declined, Americans have tasted the bitter blow of a deadly and morally corrupt Jihad, our credibility as a nation has been lessened by tensions within the United Nations and by the failure of our current President to deliver what he has promised. While these happenings have striken us with such things as fear, intolerance and anger, there is still much hope for improvement. I pray that if you are elected, you lead our nation in better directions than our previous officials and head us down a different road, one that is devoid of the problems that our current administration has given us. I implore you to root out and alleviate the problems that has caused our economy to suffer. I hope you will dissolve the dishonesty that runs rampant within the ranks of the Bush administration. I wish you to help improve our security rather than destroy it. As a former General of the United States Army you fully know that government officials and their warriors are here to provide for and to protect the American people, not to further their own political cause or gain profit from them. I think you are the best hope for our country and I hope you will not let yourself stray from the path you have laid before you. As an eighteen year old who will soon be enlisted in the United States Army, I hope you will lead us to a new age of prosperity and help to stop the daily deaths of our honorable soldiers. In the words of our brave Special Forces soldiers, "De Oppresso Liber." -Matt Kilgore

Dear General Clark, I am afraid. I am afraid because the man with the most (observable) power in the United States hates me and all I stand for. I am a member of a minority religion (Wicca) he has spoken out against. I am a lifelong democrat. I protested the war in Iraq, but supported the soldiers. I am afraid for the people rotting at Guantanamo Bay without any trials, any due process. I am afraid anyone could become next. General Clark, you probably know better than I ever will exactly what it is we as Americans have to fear from our administration. Please stand up to it.

I'm glad to hear you are running for president. I don't know what the pundits are talking about, in the real world even lifelong republicans are wanting the Bush regime OUT. I hope if you do become president, you will appoint NEW, FRESH people into some positions and eliminate many, many of the worthless agencies formed in the past 25 years. Start to repeal harmful laws, and remove the police state. Big work ahead of you. Get the government out of our personal lives, please. And ignor the people who just hate - Hope you will be an honest man and not surround yourself with yes men and flunkies, as the past four presidents have. Cheers!! and good luck... and a special note to those of you who have the "love it or leave it" attitude -- Bush Regime has made it so there is no safe place for an American on this planet.

The state is not society. Society and the state are two different entities, even though their members may be the same and even though they may intermesh with each other intimately. The state is the entity charged with the task of protecting society, but the society over-flows the bounds of the state into fields where the state has no right to go. A society cannot be free if it is synonymous with the state. For if it were, all human activity would not only be governed by law. It would also be prescribed and licensed by law, which is the meaning of totalitarianism. The only form of equality which may be sought by the state is equality before the law. With equality before the law, the goddess of justice is rightly depicted as blind as she holds the scales evenly; blind because she is no respecter of persons. To her all, rich or poor, strong or weak, high or low, come for equal protection. Per contra, the state pursuit of equality of income or wealth is poison to justice and freedom. So too is equality of opportunity if that means, as unfortunately it has increasingly come to mean, that life's races must be fixed so that all start equal.

Congratulation for Your "Run" to the President of the USA! At first i must say sorry, because my (american) English is not the best, but i want to write this words to and for You, Mr. Clark an also the people, who fight with you for a better USA, a better leading country than the USA is today. In my past life i was a unpolitical people, but i´m happy to see: There is a chance to have a man with competence as the leader of the USA.

To John Doe and the other spineless morons of the right that log on to this site and vent their frustration at seeing King George being challenged by Wesley Clark I repeat my previous comment. For the FEW that post negative comments about Wesley Clark on this site. Consider this, at least you can make negative and asinine comments here. Go to the Bush web site or any republican web site and see if they even have an area where you can leave a message "publicly". You're able to speak your mind freely here even if you show your ignorance and stupidity. I guess on the Bush site, "stupidity", is standard operating procedure. You should be damn grateful this site lives up to American ideals of free speech. Show me a republican web site that does the same. Bush and the republicans don't have the spine to allow people to publicly comment on their man and his policies. This is one American who is proud to vote for Wesley Clark for President.

We shouldn't let the intellectual defficiencies of John Doe to counter the truth. Don't worry John, people like Dr. Phil and Oprah are out there to help people like you with their denial and your phobia of females. If your manhood is that fragile then maybe you should re-enlist with all of the men who can protect you from liberal females who are out to take over the world. -----------Let the facts speak for themselves. Take all of the quotes from Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfawitz, and Rice over the past two years and you have your truth. I've never seen so many conflicting statements between people since the characters in the OJ trial. That's the new conservative theme "Say One Thing, Do Another" then see how many people you can confuse into supporting your inept foreign and military policies.

Maybe someday, when we are reay to elect the first WOMAN President, you will have your chance. And Killary Clinton has got the goods on you, or you wouldn't give her the time of day.

Worst thing that could have happen to United State happened twice. The father and son have been destroying this country and that is why we should not let money from the lobbyist and friends pick our leaders rather experience and knowledge should be the determining factor. The country had the best of everything when President Clinton was in charge for 8 years, now look at us, back in red again, unemployment high, people scared of their future, countries hate us, and killing our soldiers for what? When I saw Mr. Wesley Clark for the 1st time, I told myself here is a guy who needs to run for presidency. He came a cross well educated, knowledgeable about the world crisis, soft and firm spoken, high ranking military background, someone who seemed to care about the issues and was concern about the United States. I do believe he will be elected as a president if he has a good team around him. Personally every time I talk to anybody they are tired of Bush, and cannot wait his term is over. I am a well educated person, wife and 2 kids, with a MBA/MIS and 15 years experience, and have been unemployed for over 16 months since 2001 until now, and can not afford these type of mistakes from my leader any longer. We all have seen what happens with a corporation with a bad leader such as Enron, and MCI, we should not let it happen to this country. Mr. Wesley Clark I will support you this election.

TO EVERYONE READING LETTERS ON THIS WEBSITE. Consider this hypothetical: In January Pres. Bush planted the seed directly into the conscious of the American people when he said that Saddam had tried to buy uranium from Africa. Cheney subsequently went on Meet the Press and stated that they know Saddam is "vigorously pursuing nuclear capability". The Administration proceeded to make their case with Saddam's alleged ties to 9/11. Now as a Senator with your constituents sending e-mails petrified for our security, would you vote for war? The Bush administration did a snow-job on the Senators by planting the "uranium seed" into the minds of the public so the Senator's would be 'hogtied' into voting for the war. So when the General was given this hypothetical he was being honest in saying if he didn't know any better, just like all of the other Senators, and knew the public was believing the President when he used the uranium claim because they wanted to trust him, he would have voted for the war in the same confidence and trust in the President based on the information given to him by our intelligence community and the Administration's words. The problem is he's not running for Senator, he's running for Commander in Chief. And as such he is in charge of the information and based on that would have seen the information differently and not have MISLED US INTO WAR. There's your comment qualification because there is a big difference between Senator and Commander and Chief.

General Clark, it is imperative that someone take up the slack in what is lacking in the Democratic Party. I have faith that this person is you. The polls show the major criticism about Democrats is the idea that they will wilt on military issues. You are the one to prove them wrong, and I believe many Republicans will vote for you. You seem tough but fair minded in military affairs which is exactly what this country needs. Americans have had enough of what Bush has done to our country. We need someone with the leadership and insight to turn it around. Thank you for your efforts, you have my vote and full support.

Please read this Mr. Clark and think about using this against him: Bush's Saudi Connections By Michael Steinberger The American Prospect Friday 19 September 2003 Why this is a crucial issue in 2004 Saudi Arabia is the wellspring of radical Islam, its primary source of sustenance and inspiration. Yet, since September 11, the Bush administration has consistently ducked the truth about Riyadh's role in nurturing terrorism -- and concealed the truth as well. Given the many business and personal ties binding the president, his family and his associates to the House of Saud, George W. Bush's see-no-evildoer attitude toward the Saudis is a vulnerability just begging to be exploited by the Democrats. And they need to do so if they hope to recapture the presidency next year. Unfortunately, apart from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who has been blasting the administration for months over its pusillanimous Saudi policy, the Democrats appear largely oblivious to the opportunity staring them in the eye. True, several Democratic presidential hopefuls, notably Howard Dean, have recently begun to include Saudi Arabia in their bill of particulars against Bush, but the criticism has been episodic and rather tepid. The Democrats are instead pinning their hopes on the economy. They really seem to think it's 1992 redux, and that now, as then, rising unemployment will prove to be the Bush-beater and their ticket back to the White House. However, with the amount of stimulus in the pipeline, the economy may not be all that weak a year down the road. And even if it is, the Democrats will not be able to send this Bush packing merely by howling about the number of jobs lost on his watch. September 11 changed American politics. Voters care about foreign policy in a way that they haven't in a long while. The Democrats had little to say about terrorism and national security during last year's midterm elections, and they paid dearly at the polls as a result. Karl Rove plainly intends to wrap the president's re-election bid in the black crape of 9-11, and unless the Democrats can convince the public that they can be trusted with homeland defense, they are almost surely headed for defeat. That's the bad news. The good news is that the Saudi issue gives them a chance to demonstrate their mettle -- at Bush's expense. The incubatory role played by Saudi Arabia and the Wahhabite sect in fostering Islamic extremism is well documented. The desert kingdom leads the way in financing and inciting Muslim holy warriors the world over. How much of this is done with the complicity of the Saudi regime is unclear, but what is clear is that the royal family is a kleptocracy that has forestalled its own inevitable demise by redirecting domestic unrest outward. September 11 was a plot hatched by an exiled Saudi dissident, and 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis. In the two years since 9-11, the Saudis have been an obstacle, not an ally, in the battle against Islamic terrorism. Sure, they've muzzled a few firebrand clerics and rounded up some lumpen Islamicists. But they've shown little inclination to stanch the flow of money from so-called charity organizations to al-Qaeda and other militant groups, and they've kept cooperation with the FBI and the CIA to a minimum. The royal family's many American mouthpieces assure us that the May 12 suicide bombing in Riyadh was a watershed -- that the Saudis now understand how dangerous al-Qaeda is and will henceforth be tripping over themselves to help us. That hope is delusional and illogical. The royal family is interested only in self-preservation, and joining the fight against terrorism in any meaningful way would be an act of suicide. John O'Neill, the sadly prescient FBI counterterrorism expert who perished in the World Trade Center attack, understood long before 9-11 that the problem of "Islamofacism" was chiefly a Saudi one. "All the answers," he said, "everything needed to dismantle Osama bin Laden's organization, can be found in Saudi Arabia." But that's only if you're willing to look, which Bush clearly is not. Indeed, he has protected the Saudis at every juncture. The pattern was established within hours of the atrocities in New York and Washington, when Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi ambassador (long known as Bandar Bush because of his coziness with the first family), was permitted to spirit members of the bin Laden clan out of the United States before the FBI could properly interview them. Since then, the Department of Justice has impeded the lawsuit filed against the Saudi regime by the September 11 families; the White House blacked out the portions of a congressional report that detailed the Saudi role in 9-11, and everyone from the president on down has steadfastly insisted that the Saudis are paid-up members of the anti-terrorism posse. Bush can spew all the frontier rhetoric he wishes, but in the case of the Saudis, his inaction speaks louder. Why he would rather undermine the war on terrorism than confront Riyadh is an interesting question, and it doesn't require a particularly active imagination to wonder if there is more here than just oil and a bad case of realpolitik. The links between the House of Bush and the House of Saud are deep, overlapping and notoriously opaque: the Saudi investment in the Carlyle Group, the private equity firm whose rainmakers include George Bush Senior; the Saudi bankrolling of Poppy's presidential library; the lucrative contracts the Saudis doled out to Halliburton when Dick Cheney was at the company's helm. The main law firm retained by the Saudis to defend them against the 9-11 families is Baker Botts -- as in James Baker, the Bush family consigliere. And, of course, there's oil, the black glue connecting all these dots. In short, the Bushies have profited mightily from a relationship with a foreign government that can be indirectly, perhaps even directly, implicated in the September 11 attacks and other terrorist incidents and that has been the driving force behind a worldwide jihad. The administration's coddling of the Saudis presents the Democrats with an opening the size of Texas, and they need to seize it. Bush is never more inarticulate and unconvincing than when on the defensive, and no subject is going to set him on his heels faster, and keep him there longer, than the Saudi question. It wouldn't take much for the Democrats to turn this issue into a political bonanza. Some sustained pot stirring by the presidential candidates and various party organs would arouse the interest of the press. Soon enough, all those media sleuths who so assiduously ransacked the lives of the Clintons would be shamed into finally giving the Bush-Saudi nexus the scrutiny it deserves, and in the flash of a news cycle, the president would have a problem. Who knows where it all might lead? There are still unanswered questions about the role Saudi money played in Bush Junior's oil ventures; ditto the Iran-Contra scandal, which never quite caught up with Bush Senior. The possibilities seem endless. Playing the Saudi card would be a hardball move, setting the stage for a bruising campaign. But Bush is no stranger to brass-knuckle tactics (just ask John McCain), and Republicans have been sliming Democrats for decades on issues of national security. A little retribution is long overdue, and the Democratic faithful are clearly in a fighting mood; using the Saudis as a cudgel to bash Bush would be a very effective way of channeling all that rage. Nor could anyone justly accuse the Democrats of demagoguery; the Saudi issue is legitimate. The administration appears to have two sets of rules in the war on terrorism: one for the Saudis and one for everyone else. It's fair to ask why (plenty of conservatives are), to plant that question in the minds of voters and to tell voters that things will be different with a Democrat in the White House. Things need to be different. It is imperative that the United States end its dependence on Middle East oil and its dysfunctional relationship with the Saudi regime, a medieval theocracy headed for the proverbial dustbin, and rightly so. Robert Baer's new book, Sleeping With the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude, meticulously details the odiousness of the royal family, and it is a mark of enduring shame that we ever crawled into bed with these characters. Four more years of Bush will likely mean four more years of business as usual -- four more years of ignoring Saudi Arabia's links to terrorism and its egregious human-rights record. On the stump and on the airwaves, the Democrats should be hammering home this point, giving the Saudis the bashing they so richly deserve and promising the American public a long-overdue reckoning with Riyadh. Vilifying the Saudis would not just be good politics and good policy; it would be good for the Democratic soul. In pledging to free the United States from this pathetic entanglement, the Democrats would, in a sense, be reclaiming Woodrow Wilson from the Republicans generally and the neocons specifically. It used to be that the Democrats were the ethical standard-bearers in American foreign policy, committed to ensuring that the United States conducted itself in a manner consistent with its founding principles. But they have ceded the high ground of late. Disinterest in global affairs among the party's rank-and-file, coupled with the economic emphasis of the Clinton years, has robbed the party of its traditional internationalist voice. Excoriating Bush over his handling of relations with the Saudis and vowing to put abundant daylight between Washington and Riyadh would be a way of regaining that voice -- of making the Democrats once again synonymous with human-rights concerns and the quest for justice abroad. The Saudi issue is a winning one on every count for the Democrats, and they need to take advantage of it -- now. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I believe in you as the President of the United States of America. Our country has been through an extended period of leadership without true leaders. We have had presidents who have catered to lobbyists and cartels. The choice has always been the more convenient or the lesser of two evils. This country has always symbolized hope and security for the oppressed peoples all over the world. This ideals of America have rang loud and clear wherever there is injustice and hopelessness. You have, quite literally, put your own life on the line for the greater cause of America in many instances. I believe that as President of the United States of America you would bring new meaning and wisdom to the saying of another great American President, John F. Kennedy who said, "Ask not what this country can do for you but what you can do for this country!" Thank You and God Bless you and your family!

They paint you as an uninformed, unconvinced Democrat, one who is an opportunist and has adopted the label more advantageous to further his political ambitions. They also portray you as one who had an undistinguised failed military career!!! They can say whatever they want about you because if the media gives you an opening for the American people to see you and listed to you, they will see the inspired leader we have seen.

Take back our country, General Clark! They took the presidency away from us, and proceeded to throw us into war, ruin our economy, destroy our standing with other nations, and threaten our environment. We need action; we need you!!!

General Clark may be the only viable Democratic candidate to date! His centrist positions, coupled with his presidential stature makes him an attractive presidential option to Middle America. I respect my left leaning Democratic brothers and sisters, but this thing is going to be won, or lost in Middle America. Kevin James

America does not need the type of leadership you displayed in the Army.....a leadership built on "I'm right, always. It's my way or nothing". You're a classic Type "A" personality, unqualified to lead our Nation.

(Revised letter) I do not claim to know the best strategy that would help you win the nomination and then the presidency. However, I can offer a number of ideas, or facts from the last few years that could resonate well with the electorate. * The current President has gotten us in a military as well as an economic mess that it will be difficult to get ourselves out of. Only a radical change of course can bring economic prosperity, job creation, and a world where America's image is restored and respected, rather than viewed with suspicion and animosity. * The American people were sold a war "on the cheap" that sounded like the first American Gulf war of 1991, where a number of Arab States helped foot the bill for the war. It was, however, very different this time. And thus far, it is the American people, mostly the middle class that are footing the bill for this war. * The war rethoric was based mostly on lies, innuendoes, and allegations that simply could not be proved or disproved. An example of a lie is the famous reference to Iraq's trying to buy Uranium from Niger, in spite of the fact that the CIA did not corroborate that allegation, but voilà, it makes it into the State of the Union Address. An example of innuendo is a connection between Saddam and the 9-11 attacks. As for unproved allegations, there are all the references to weapons of mass destruction that have simply vanished into thin air. * The Arab States did not back us: No Arab State could sanely want the Americans to set up what they consider as an empire at their doorsteps. In addition, most Arab states view us with distrust, because they view United States policies as designed to deny Arabs the right to defend themselves, while Israel gets to keep its nuclear weapons that number in the hundreds. * Also, most Arab states saw that Iraq had been pounded into the stone age in the first gulf war, and was thus unable to threaten its neighbors like it did in 1990. * The official views of the present administration are based on a policy of unilateralism. It argues for a world where the United Nations exists only to serve U.S interests, otherwise, it should be bypassed and becomes irrelevant. The United States reserves the right to wage war on other countries, while the UN should help foot the bill and do the cleanup and Nation building under US command. In other words the present administration views the United Nations that comprises over 150 nations as subservient to U.S. policies, even if they are misguided, even if they are unpopular, and even if the U.S. conducts its foreign policy without a mandate from the United Nations. * Mistakes made after the war show that the war was ill planned, ill thought and ill executed: 1. The American military under the present commander in chief turned a blind eye while the looting of and stealing from Museums in Iraq containing 5000 years worth of unique and unrecoverable historical artifacts took place. 2. The American command in Iraq disbanded a lightly armed Iraqi army, without offering them a respectable way out. They were told to get a job. Even a 5 year old would tell you this cannot work, especially that these soldiers still had light arms they could use. 3. The American administration seems to feel now that the rest of the world has to come to its help economically and militarily in Iraq. This is after the U.S. waged a war without a U.N. mandate, and after the U.N. was the subject of a suicide attack in Iraq and lost close to 50 of its employees, including its top envoy to Iraq. If the U.S. wants the U.N. as a partner, wouldn’t you think they would offer them more protection? * The twin approach of tax cuts for the rich and a very costly war equals an "Alice in Wonderland" approach to economics. One can only remember the expression "Voodoo economics" that the President's father used in reference to trickle down economics.

Sir, I am an army brat from the last century. My father came up the hard way and retired in 1964. I feel there is an aspect of Military community life that is not addressed. What no one seems to understand is that people in the service are socialists: groceries , housing, HEALTH care, education , and transportation are all subsidized or wholly paid for by the government. Altho the term socialist is unsavory to most I believe this is a cultural fact that applies to all the supposedly "right wing" militarists out there. I want to see a strong man like you sir, Mr. Clark, take these socialist values into the White House. Can you do it? Or are you just another corporate lackey who is going to sell the PEOPLE of this country down the river? You come out strongly on these issues and of course the environment also ( which the military services have a poor record on in my view) and you shall receive my support. I believe that there are a lot of us guys out here who need these issues that ARE going to take us into the FUTURE to be addressed in a clear & powerful way. We are tired of the lies and waffling of administrations who cow-tow to the corporate interests at the expense of us citizens. Thank you for your time Sir. Ray Morgan

Dear General Clark, Thank you for joining the race. The majority of American people have been listening to you since 9/11 - some before that, and have learned more about you since then. We are listening carefully now. Fire your speech writers. We want to hear YOU. I am thrilled that you don't have "extensive political experience" which the media seems to focus on--you have every other qualification to lead this country out of misery and into peace. ( and you haven't exactly been baking cheesecakes for the last 35 years for God's sake. )It's a highly redeeming quality as a matter of fact, because I'm tired of the corruption, and I'm certainly not alone. Times have changed. America needs a strong confident leader who will bend but not break. You are this man. Bring America to peace with the rest of the world, and build a country that is safe, free of terrorism, and can afford to employ our citizens. If we can't employ and produce goods here affordably, then we are not a great nation.You have my confidence, my vote and my best wishes. Sincerely

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. Since 9/11, I and many of my democrat friends have had to almost go undergound with our views on the economy, the war, healthcare, etc. due to the backlash against us from the Bushies. Independent thought, a basis for our country, is at risk. We need someone to restore a culture of freedom and openess in our country again. We need dialogue and disagreement, conflict and compromise; the very foundation of our country could crumble if the current climate continues. Have-educated, half-informed people cannot run our country. The United States feels a whole lot like 1930's Germany. Ashcroft now has the power of the Gestapo, while Karl Rove spins Goebbels-like propaganda against the "liberal, tree-huggers". Most of us are moderates out here and I feel YOU can represent us. Help us get rid of these very dangerous people from power in our government. We look to you to be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Thank You!!!

Mr. Clark, There is nothing on your website concerning previous history with the Democrat Party. When exactly did you join the democratic party,.... what year. You see, it has become so obvious that the republicans will stop at nothing to hold on to power, and frankly quit a few friends are concerned that you might be a plant. The easiest way for you to make that question goes away is to include in your bio and your speeches exactly WHEN you became a member of the Democratic party and your history with it. For instance, although New York Mayor BLOOMBERG ran as a Republican, everyone knows he's a Democrat who changed parties to run in the race. THIS is our fear about you, except in the opposite direction. Thank you and I look forward to your speedy reply. Charles Fernandez

Dear General Clark, I am thrilled that you are running for President. America desperately needs a new leader who will bring credibility and respect to the USA abroad as well as bringing sensible domestic policies that will return America to the path of prosperity, job security, homeland security and respect to our civil rights. I am a 39 yr. old middle-income structural engineer from the Columbus, Ohio area and I am living proof that the economic policies of the Bush administration have been a disaster. After 10 years of job security and growth working for the same company, the economic downturn combined with the uncertainty of war has put a major damper on our company's growth. We have not had any bonuses or pay raises since 2001. Last spring, 15% of our workforce was laid off, the rest of us got pay cuts. After years of job security, now I have to wonder if I'll have a job at the end of the month. And it is not just our company, all our competitors in the industry are going through the same problems. George Bush says that his tax cuts are putting more money on Americans pockets, I can tell you nothing could be farther from the truth. While the tax cuts have saved me about $1,200 in federal taxes since 2001, lost bonuses, pay-cuts and lost pay raises have cost me an estimated $12,000! For every $1 of tax cut, I lost $10 in wages. Never mind the fact that my state of Ohio increased the sales tax by 1% and new local taxes were levied in our community last August to help the local school district out of debt after the state cut funding. George Bush says that he wants to make America prosperous. If I could ask Mr. Bush a question it would be "Why did you get us here in the first place? I was already prosperous!" Mr. Clark, America needs your talent. I have faith in God that you will make a successful run to the White House. Best wishes, Juan Rivera Lewis Center, Ohio.

Gen. Clark, Thank you for commiting yourself to run for the presidency. You have experience which is greatly needed. One of the most important things you offer is courage. America has become a frightened nation led by frightened leaders. They are seeding fear in America. "Bowling for Colombine" is about the power of this fear. Americans need to learn courage and trust in themselves. They want to do positive things even if they cause hardship to take care of themselves and the nation. Ibelieve that there is a tremendous hunger for strength and courage, not just the irresponsible imposition of power to meet the challenges of our time. Americans are tired of pursuing escape and entertainment as ways of coping with fear. They need to be told that they can trust themselves. That they have the strength and will to prevail again the trials of today's world, even terroism. I think there is a tremendous hunger for strength and courage. I think you can be a teacher and a leader in courage. I think this is a need just waiting to be tapped and can be a tremendous political force. Thank you for running. Take it slow and carefully, if you meet this need, the nation will give you time to catch up on all the other issues. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. Dear General Clark, I am intrigued by your candidacy for President, and hope to vote for you. But I would like to know more first. Please send info to my address in one of your future mailings. Have you given thought to the parallels to Teddy Roosevelt and his nephew FDR? You might also want to consider looking at some of the following issues that will help you if you address them for all to understand: 1. Closed verses open primaries. I live in Indiana which is a closed primary state. They also publish the voter’s party preference for all to see. Therefore no government employee in his or her right mind would vote in a primary for fear of retribution. I recommend that you learn about Washington State's open primary and push to have all states have some form of open primary to protect the privacy of everyone’s vote, allow each voter the right to vote for one candidate per job regardless of party, so we can vote for the right person for the job, and not only one vote per party. One vote per job is the way it should be. You will be leading from the middle of that bell shaped curve, sir, and without open primaries, the extremes of the bell shaped curve distort the issues and control the middle - where most of the voters are. This is where I am proud to be, neither Republican nor Democrat. The ugliness of campaigning would certainly diminish since issues, not personal attacks, would be viewed as the more important criteria. We need more leaders from the middle of that curve. 2. Education, especially college education, is pricing the middle and lower classes out of an education. This will become a strategic weakness for our country if we don't make this more affordable. If this is also tied to assisting those in public service by making it nearly free for all of those who make under a certain annual wage, there would be a larger group of highly qualified candidates assisting the public in those positions. In order to qualify all students must maintain a minimum C average grade. My first choice for those who qualify is the national guards, teachers, nurses, and all government employees making below that annual wage decided upon. If they agree to work in public service in their home states for 5 years of gainful employment, they don't have to pay back their tuition, fees, and books. If they move or make more than the amounts used to qualify above, then they pay back into the fund at least a prorated share for others to take advantage of that as though it were a loan. No room and board would be paid though. State lottery funds should be targeted for this and all day kindergarten should be required in order to get federal assistance. Fed funds matching in some way could help. In Georgia, all students get this courtesy of their lottery. Teachers there receive continuing training using that fund. Those with a GED can also benefit in that state. Regarding use of the fund for private schools, the amount should be capped at the amount charged by an average of the highest cost top three state subsidized universities. Only that amount would be allowed. If the student shows promise by the time that cap would be reached by GPA, and depending on that schools review of the students’ progress, will work to obtain the funds via other sources to see this student through to success. Combined with the GI Bill and other scholarship opportunities, no school of higher learning would be out of reach to the lower and middle classes. 3. Public Works Projects Programs. Education can also be assisted by bringing back programs like the CMTC (Civilian Military Training Camps), and the CCC or WPA which worked hand in hand to build much of the infrastructure and many state and national parks in this country. Sure, when the economy is strong, these programs are not as needed; but if you will remember after the crash in 1929, many programs had to eventually be started. It is vital that a means of transitioning into and out of these programs be provided smoothly so re-invention of that wheel does not make crucial mistakes each time this is needed. When the government takes money out of the economy due to wars or public programs like these there is less for private investment. As we now move more into the war on terrorism and evil, AND our economy suffers, we need to help state and local governments get projects done that otherwise would be paid out of their own revenues. These programs could accomplish two very important goals: 1, inform our young people about the compelling history of our country and what it means to be a responsible citizen and American since our schools will not or cannot do that. Instill a sense of patriotism and responsibility that will build the leaders that made our “greatest generation” what it was and still is. 2 Use their skills and training to give them not only another trade to fall back on, or making use of trade skills that might otherwise be idle, but more importantly, learn what it means to serve eventually in the Armed Forces or other public service occupations. Our military would then also have a larger pool eventually of highly trained volunteers willing to serve who understand leadership, citizenship and the meaning of, "duty, honor, and country". Just like the decades prior to WW II, those programs mentioned above prepared a great people to become an even greater nation. When the baby boomers begin retiring by 2010 or later, our economy will be suffering worse than it threatens too now. Many hopeful workers believed the Harry S Dent book’s conclusion that the market would expand considerably until 2010. Then came 9/11/01 and the G word, Greed ruined our economy. Those CEO's that ruined companies and employees retirements did not participate in WW II and DID NOT know what it means to be an American. They were NOT and CANNOT be the next greatest generation in my view, but they currently hold much power. 4. Medical Care. As with the programs mentioned above and the parallels to the Roosevelt's; you will have to address the medical services provided to all citizens – especially our veterans. This too will take funds from the public sector if supply and demand doesn't return to common sense and affordable levels. 5. Social Security - same thing. Although you should highlight the wrongs that occurred to many peoples retirement programs in the private sector and make it illegal to sell out a retirement program promised to retirees so more profit can be obtained by the company buying out another company’s assets. This has got to stop! This does not have to mean that we become more socialistic; but in order to protect our country, more importantly, OUR strategic place in the world, tough decisions will have to be made so we compete in the global economy with those countries who ARE establishing the above programs in one form or another. Look to India and China's higher education institutes for example. Many Indian students that do not qualify to go to India’s prestigious and 100% government funded I.I.T., go on to qualify for scholarships at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and many other of our best universities, taking scholarship money from those Americans that should be there. How do Canadian's buy the same American drugs for 1/6th or less the price we pay for the same drugs here? Also please encourage full day kindergarten to get a head start on early development and screen for abuse and malnourished children in need. Now for my only worry about you. Some of the statements you have made appear to be coming from a speech writer and not a 4-star general. Stick to your knitting, as Tom Peters would say. At the most critical time in your Presidency and our history, it is your experience as a General that we will need most, not the words of a young speech writer. Stay in command - general sir. Speak your mind as if you are still the general and scholar we hope you remain. The war on terrorism is the right war. It is the war of Good vs. Evil. It will be a tough to fight. It will and has, revealed who our friends and potential enemy’s are. While you are suggesting that we should have made more concessions via dialogue with the French and Germans or the UN - I do not agree. We are Americans First and Always. When the French and Germans act other than as allies, move our bases from Germany to Poland and Italy. They helped us. If the French had kept their word after WW II, there would not have been a Viet Nam War. I’m sure you remember from your studies that France promised French INDO China their Independence if they would help fight the Japanese. They broke that promise and thus the fighting began. FDR met with Churchill prior to sending the massive aide we did and got concessions to reduce the size of the British Empire and provide for those countries Independence, which they did. France has been unworthy of our trust ever since. Fight terrorism and evil. Go after them where ever they are. If you suggest you will do less than this - you will loose many of our votes. That is the entire right side of that bell shaped curve General. Think about that. I am hoping to vote for you. Don't let me down, please. Sincerely, Mike Montgomery

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. Also, one that is sense to the needs of all americans: European - Americans, African-Americans, Native - Americans, and Hispanic - Americans as well as strong religious values. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. The international community should never be treated the way it has been treated by current "president." One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Just because 9 other jerks are fumbling in the race doesn't mean another jerk can run for president. How does he ever want to become president when he flip-flops on the war issue and doesn't know anything about other important national issues? It seems to me that he is nothing but a four-star jerk.

General Clark. Before I support you, I want to know EXACTLY how you plan to hold the current administration accountable for their impeachable and treasonable behavior. Sept.9th, 2001, NYTimes "this administration is not taking the threat of terrorism seriously, and that could be a fatal mistake". Did you read Pax Americana? I did. If you didn't you need too. You are a hopeful for me but right now I am a supporter of Dean because he had the courage to stand up against the crowd. Many of us who are well read know that the war with Iraq was a personal issue for monetary gain. Using tax payers money for personal gain? Bush must be impeached and I need to hear you say so before I vote for you. Thank you for your time, Andrea Von Hagel.

Mr. Clark My first exposure to you was on TV during the major combat in Iraq. I was glued to the set cuz my youngest son is a Marine TOW gunner there. I was incredibly impressed by you. Charisma, intelligence, candor, savvy, etc. Your calls on the questions were really impressive. I found myself thinking, this guy should run for President. Then you came out as a Presidential candidate. Said you were a Democrat. Said you were against this war. Started looking like a friend of Bill's, a real close friend of Bill's -- the mental case scumbag who so lowered the stature of the Office of the Presidency as to cause me to have conversations with my sons that I never thought I would have to have. Do you have sons that you have to explain a female humidor to??? I was impressed by you. Now I am incredibly turned off. Hanging with the Clintons is like sleeping with the pigs. You know that story. And your criticism of this war in Iraq, IMHO our best chance of bringing some peace and stability to that region, is just amazing to me. As I said, my son is there doing his duty. I believe you have betrayed yours. Brad Morgan

Sir, What do you think you're doing? Saying you would have never voted for the war in Iraq. I am not desputing your right to say such a thing, every American has this right. I am currently serving our nation in the Army I am proud to do so. But you, being a well respected soldier yourself, can damage the morale of those menn and women now serving there. I know you were staking out a political position for political points but in the future please remember that you are not just a political figure running for the Presidency, you are a retired General and with that there are additional responsibilities to our Armed Forces. Please, keep us in mind when you are out there campaigning.

The General has stated this wisdom all along that the war in Iraq wasn't justified. The original intent authorizing the use of force was assumed as a last resort. Now we know the case for war was doctored. PLEASE HAVE FAITH IN THE GENERAL, HE IS WISE. GO TO americansforclark.com, click on WESLEY CLARK WEBLOG and read.

General Clark, I was very much unsure of who to vote for in the 2004 Presidential Election. It is still early so I figured I would wait and see how the candidates present themselves and their ideas. I voted for President Bush in 2000. I was very pleased with my decision for quite a while. At this time I do not intend to vote for President Bush again for various reasons. If the election were held just a few weeks ago I am afraid I wouldn't have voted. I have always voted for President of the United States. It is a great and historic thing to do. To partake in our wonderful system, even amidst it's flaws. I love the United States of America. I have always voted republican and have considered nothing else, until now. But who to vote for. I do not like any of the Democratic candidates, until now. I am very happy that you decided to run for President of our great nation. The moment I saw that you were running I knew I would vote for you. You have the leadership skills that this country needs at this time. The military skills to not take us deeper into war but to revive what I feel is a lost cause, Iraq. Believe me I support and always will support our troops but I feel they could be used in better ways. More positive ways. I believe you would be able to make the right decisions and also gain world support of your decisions so that we (the United States) will not be imposing our ideas on the world but allowing input from all the countries on that which affects them also. At this time you can count my vote for you. If you continue on with a strong policy for peace in a war torn world. To use our troops to bring peace to the world rather than inflicting unnecessary pain to other nations, you will then continue to be my vote of the next President of the United States.

DEAR General Clark: I am a disabled American citizen. I am also feeling left out and ignored by the current president and everyone in his administration, which has had the effect of making me feel ASHAMED of being an American citizen. Everything this administration has done has lessened the quality of life for the citizens of this once-great country, but the actions of G.W. Bush and his cronies have taken everything we have done to improve life - i.e. the environment, foreign policy, business ethics - and sent it all back at least 100 years! I wouldn't be surprised if Bush and Co. try to repeal women's voting rights! The man who is now president is very much lacking in moral values, ethical values and common sense. He cares not what his actions will bring to the future of America. WE NEED YOU AS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, if only to bring a bit of sanity to the Whitehouse, as that is another missing ingredient in this administration: SANITY. Thank you for joining the Democratic ticket! You have my vote!

Please pass this to the person working on Near East policy. Gov.Dean is a good person, but now is not the time for a dove to be our president. Many good people have not learned from history how often and easily the world falls back into darkness and violence. Dean scared me on the Fox TV debate: "It is not for us to take sides in the Middle East conflict." Sides? Jews want peace, Arabs want war. Do you see it any other way? And Iraq? Doesn’t know that Iraq is key to changing the Near East, which must be changed. I dont want a president who does not understand this, just as I dont want a president who does not realize that we must take sides to resolve the Middle East conflict. Maybe a more reasonable Palestinian leadership will come forward. Meantime, the two state solution must wait. It never hear any muslim condem violence in Jeruselum - - not even in Bali or Bombay. Democrates should stand with American policy in the UN and vis a vis Europe. That's where Americans are and that's where the Democratic party should be. Candidates in the debate said: "Of course we should support our troops, but Iraq was a mistake, let's get out as quickly as possible." That’s doubletalk and sounds like the French. I agree that many Republican domestic policies are corrupt, international trade and enviornmental policies are short sighted and diplomacy for alliances is clumsy. Democrats can criticize and say they'll do better, but we know it has been that way also when Democrats were in power. And for a century, the State Dept in every administration has never performed its main mission: promoting good will for America. Let's understand a fundamental: All is for naught if the world becomes radicalized. If it were not for Sept 11th, America would still be fast asleep. Blowing up our embassies and barracks abroad didnt wake us up, and the world is not with us because they think the attacks are against America and Israel only. When terror hits home, countries like Russia, India and Indonesia stir a bit and start to wake up. The world needs leadership and we must provide it. Should we forget so soon that Germany and Japan ruled the world? America saved civilization, but only because Germany invaded Russia instead of the UK. We were lucky that time. I want a president who understands realpolitik.

The hope of raising a family on a good paying job, the hope of owning their own home, the hope of having affordable, early prevention health care. America has become a nation of lost opportunity and declining prosperity because we have put corporate profits ahead of everything else. America desperately needs a president who is NOT a politician, someone who has not been or who won't be bought and paid for by special interest groups or big corporations. America needs someone who puts Americans FIRST and I believe Gen. Wesley Clark is the ONLY one who can bring back the American dream. AMERICA NEEDS YOU GEN. CLARK....THANK GOD YOU HAVE ELECTED TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN YOUR COUNTRY'S HOUR OF NEED!!!!

If you really want to know why George W. Bush took us to war in Iraq, all you need to do is go the web sit of the Project for a New American Century and read the paper entitled "Rebuilding America's Defenses". This is the answer in the very words of the Neocon's who were the architects of the war. This web site begins to analyze these people http://pnacrevealed.com/ but you don't have to believe these guys. Look for yourself.

I made a pledge of $50 a few weeks before the General said he is now a candidate. I did not get any e-mail as to where to send my check. In fact I did not get any e-mail at all!! I have made another pledge for $50 and hope to here from you soon. I have heard Clark speak once and I think he is great!!

It was obvious from his appearances on CNN during the Iraq invasion that Mr. Clark is an intelligent, insightful, and compassionate human being. All of the things George W. are not. I don't know Mr. Clark, but he seems like an honest, straight shooter. To George W. this is an image, a disguise. I am grateful to have men like him and Mr. Dean in the race for president. Regime change in 2004!!!

Dear General Clark; I was empassioned when I heard you announce your run for the presidency. I am sure you realize how badly we need to show Mr. Bush the door. He appears to be a man that has waltzed into the presidency, set forces in motions to loot the country, serve his egredious fat cat friends, his big business cronies, his own personal bank account, and under the cloak of darkness plans to steal away like a thief in the night. He acts like a man who has planned this, as if he intended to garner as much cash and power as he could, and leave as a one term wonder just like his father. This man must be kicked out of office. We need to rid ourselves of this curse, and we need to do it with the same blatant disregard he has had for the American people. He treats the American people as if they were stupid, and they will automatically buy all the "hogwash" he feeds them. Is he really that dumb? I believe he is. He obviously believes we are as dumb as he is. His arrogance is so annoying I can hardly watch him speak. He has not fulfilled any of his promises, not one! You are the man to beat him. I'm a disabled writer - a very good one - and I have experience with political campaigns. I've watched all the present Democratic hopefuls, and there is some hope. The polls say that the economy is foremost in their minds. It is important for the Democrats to realize that notion is true, but the real underlying fear is that the American people do no trust Democrats when it comes to the trepidations of war, terrorism, and homeland security. You can bridge that gap, and if you do, you will unseat this adle-brained buffoon. I will volunteer what tools I can. Onward and Good Luck, Robert Bernard (512) 891-9479

Dear General Clark, I am as liberal as most Americans get. I would love for the entire world to be happy, well-fed, opression-free, without violence, but I realize this is impossible, at least in the short term. I also realize America is in a unique position to effect global change all the while attempting to sustain American ways of life. Having served as NATO commander, I believe you may understand the subtlety involved in this task - that we can no longer be the bull in the china shop. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

To win, you must stand above candidates who criticize Bush on Iraq. America must stand united at war. Dont side with the French or UN because they botch nation building worse than us. There's plenty to criticize domestically while standing with Republicans on foreign affairs. Let's stand together and avoid washing laundry in public. It matters not whether you would or would not have voted for this war. Make your position clear now , so that I can vote for you. Decide between two positions expressed in NYTimes Letters: Position 1) "We blundered into an unwinnable internal situation in Iraq that is not fixable and thus will never be able to exit on our own terms. An archaic face-saving concept precluded an earlier, sensible exit from Vietnam. A rational alternative to an imminent unilateral withdrawal would be to turn this entire matter over to United Nations jurisdiction." Position 2) "Success in Iraq would go far to accomplish what many have called the key to winning the war against Islamic terrorism: not military victory but winning the hearts and minds of the Arab masses. "President Bush is leading us on a road that can transform the social and political landscape of the entire Middle East, but it is going to be a long and difficult struggle. If we cannot overcome our partisan bickering; if we cannot show the world our resoluteness in seeing this struggle through; if after three months our commitment is already faltering, then the war against terrorism is lost." Please dont waver when we're at war. Democrats must unite America. Only then can you win our hearts and votes. Ira Nadler 430 E 86 NY 10028 212 628 2789

Dear Genral Clark You had a good start as a new candidate for the democrats. But this isn't enough. You need to accelerate your attack to win the battle. After telling the American people who you are and why you feel qualified to run the nation, you've got to show the people what makes you different from the other candidates. It's just isn't enough to say, because the known facts you 'possibly' would have voted yes for war and 'maybe' you would have done this or that. You're a general. You had other times in your life when you were dealing with hard decissions. Even as a foreigner, it is obvious to me, that the american people are longing for a strong and reliable leader. Don't show any uncertainty now! You've got a great team supporting you. It shouldn't be a problem to find the right statements who will show that you know the problems and that you're deeply dedictated to this nation and willing to solve them. Just don't be too much dependend on your aides. They can show you the winning fields, but it's you who is in charge. Your most compelling quality is your honesty. Never let any pundit compromise that! I'm wishing you the very best. It's not only democracy in the US that is at stake, but peace for all mankind. General Clark, America and the world need you. Do all you can to get nominated! Andy Ludwig Hannover, Germany

General, You will become president by simply following these rules: 1. Always speak facts on issues that can not be disputed 2. Never not speak your true feelings on any issue 3. Do not pander to any voting group 4. Most of all confront the right wing head on, especially the likes of Dick Chenney. they are mercilous, lie ,bully and are the most dangerous faction our Nation has ever faced. They can not face truth. They lied about Iraq at the cost of American lives. 5. Leave religion out of all your politics 6. Simplify the abortion issue. just protect life of mother 7. Last but not have your spokes people always emphasize your intelligence. West Point Rhodes Scholar 1st in class.Joan

America needs a new president. Now that you have put your hat into the ring I hope you will address the republicans bid to bankrupt America , from Social Security , Medicare and Medicaid , the Bush Administration (under the radar) is trying to do away with these saftey nets without the American people knowing it. They have done this by giving large tax breaks to the very wealthy , getting us into a war with no exit stratergy and running large deficits that will affect Social Security and Medicare in the future. Thier belief is to starve the Beast ( Federal Govt. ) and it will have to cut social programs. Please open the eyes of the American public to these important issues.

My wife and her family are life long Republicans. I told her about you and she was very impressed with your interviews. Today she is hearing rumors that if nominated you may pick Hillary as a running mate and if true, you would lose her vote. I believe that moderate Republicans who want a change b/c of this Administration will not be attracted to Hilliary in any way as a VP. Love her or hate her, she's a political lightning rod and that's a problem. Be very prudent about your VP pick if you win the nomination if want to beat Bush.

General Clark, As a veteran, I am glad to see that you are running for President. Just a few ideas from an "Everyday American:" Don't be overly swayed by the polls. While important, they do not represent everyone. Remember the silence of those who do not speak out..sometimes silence means assent. Reach out to veterans!!! Veterans vote well anyway, but think about having a Veteran's Liason person on your campaign staff. Vets are also good volunteer workers. Remember that the "Everyday American" is not stupid. We love our families and our country and will go to great lengths to protect both. We don't the like the lies, dishonesty and dismantling of our Constitution by the current Administration. We believe in a tough National Security Policy, but we hold dear those Civil Liberties guaranteed us by our Constitution, and don't like to see them taken away under such auspices as the Partriot Act. We don't like new taxes, but we know we get what we are willing to pay for and invest in. It is like military training exercises...we pay to train troops in peacetime so that they will be prepared in combat. Be a hardheaded visionary for this country. Politics being what they are, you may not be able to deliver everything you promise, but at least give us an honest vision and dedicated leadership. So far, we have not had a candidate who can do that. Finally, Sir, in the midst of all the hard-charging work of your campaign, don't forget to take care of yourself and your family. Make time for spiritual, emotional and physical renewal for yourself. Leaders have to take care of themselves first so that they do not burn out. How many times over the years did you advise young officers/nco's to do exactly that? If you don't already have someone, find a priest, clergyperson, someone, who can pray for you daily and with whom you can be 100% yourself. Lead by example so that your staff does not burn out easily. You will need to have good advisors around you...God knows the current ones in this administration are disasters (with a couple of exceptions). Anyway, Good Luck and God Bless and I hope you win!!! AMERICA EVERYDAY...for EVERYDAY AMERICANS!!!!

Dear Mr. Clark, I just want to make a few suggestions, if I may, on your campaign trail. I feel with your common sense, earthy approach to the issues, you are poised to join the ranks of Kennedy and Lincoln as one of Americas greatest. Common sense and direction is what this country needs right now. Bush's "War on Terror" has turned out to be more like his own "Reign of Terror". The touted "unconventional" war did not live up to its name. Your approach to ridding the world of terrorists makes more sense, saves more innocent lives, and costs less than ripping apart whole countries. We feel that Bush played right into the hands of the masterminds of 9-11. He was so predictable to them, and they are now relishing in the economic impact this has on America. In you, we feel we have a leader who can change all this. Timing is everything. While Bush is attending Republican thousands of dollars a plate fundraisers, we would like to see you on tv, visiting the economically depressed rural areas of Kentucky or West Va., where the elderly charge their groceries at the country store on a month to month basis until their social security checks arrive. Where they heat their small homes with a coal stove. While Bush is pushing his latest economic stimulus plan, or he and Rumsfeld are, (once again) holding their press conferences and giving speeches trying to convince us the war in Iraq was justified, we would like to see you talking to the blue collar workers who have lost their jobs due to layoffs. So much for "trickle down" economics, yes? In closing, thank you for listening to my suggestions, and thank you for giving us a COMPETENT choice in 04'. Glenda Palmer

Let's set the record straight about the General's comment. General Clark was given a hypothetical by a reporter that asked 'If in Congress would you have voted for the war?' And based on that his answer was basically if he were a Senator with seemingly reliable evidence and Administration that attached the 'patriotism' label to support and I knew that the public believed that Iraq had WMD and ties to 9/11, he would have voted for the war. However as military he questioned the evidence and as Commander and Chief he would not have gone to war because he was privy to all intelligence and would not have deliberately misled the American people into war like the current Administration. Dean as a former Governor didn't have to cast that vote but I would pose the same question to Dean: 'If you were a senator and you had info suggesting that Saddam had WMD and ties to al Queda and knew that your constituents supported this, how would you vote? General Clark stay away from hypotheticals and speaking directly to the media right now. The influences of this country serve only themselves and how they can divide by misrepresenting the truth...period. And people like Randi Gilford fall for it every time because they only believe what's fed to them. Randi, Dean deserves you.

General Clark, In the past, I wasn't one to pay attention to war issues like I did the Iraq war. I'm fortunate enough to be able to watch television where I work and I watched the war from day one. I also watched you faithfully when you spoke on the war. I even purchased your book. I have started the book but not finished it yet. There was just something about your presence and the way you spoke about the war that really got my attention with you. I made it appoint to check to see if you were on every day and evening. I wish you the best in your presidential campaign and will be very supportive of you and will pass it along to the people I know. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

September 19, 2003 Dear General Clark and staff, Among my many hopes for your presidential campaign is that we finally get a Democrat who will stand up EFFECTIVELY to the pervasive myth of "no new taxes." As any honest low- to middle-income voter will admit, every time certain taxes get cut, others inevitably go up. George W. Bush has pushed through three massive cuts in federal income taxes. Partly as a result: * rising state and local income taxes * skyrocketing property taxes * rent increases * tuition hikes * elimination of education grants * fare and toll hikes * state and local sales tax increases * rising health insurance premiums * higher prescription drug costs These are all basically tax hikes, which tend to disproportionately affect low- and middle-income groups.

To Randi Gifford: At least he's honest about it. Dean as a congressman would have voted for it too. Know why? Because if he didn't he would have been the most unpopular Senator in Congress. The American people thought Iraq had WMD and based on that Dean didn't know anything other than he is opossed to war. You're not fooling anyone, you're for Dean all along because you would probably have voted against the war even if you thought Saddam had WMD and was involved in 9/11 because people who like Dean wouldn't have even gone after Bin Laden after 9/11 in the name of 'peace'. Yeah that's what the security of America needs 'the quinessential dove'. Dean's waffled more than anyone within the past two months. He doesn't even know how many troops we need in Iraq. It's people like that who don't belong as commander and chief.

Mr. Clark, As of now, you have my vote. But I wanted to lend a bit of advice to the campaign staff. Since you have already admitted that you have weaknesses regarding specific details on how you would deal with a variety of domestic issues, the right thing to do is point out to the American people that good leadership means putting the right people in the right places. It is stupid for people to expect the President to have all the answers. Instead, you will have a team of qualified people, experts in their own fields, taking care of business accoring to your vision of our future (which will be endorsed by the American people via the election, should you win). I expect you will have little problem demonstrating your superior qualifications relative to the visionless, passionless, plastic fools currently running for office. I feel you are the answer to our long dreary period of substandard presidents (since Johnson in 1968). I wish you and the team great success, and I will help in any way I can.

We are bogged down on two no-win military fronts that we don't to be involved in. Saddam was never a threat to our country until we unilaterally attacked Iraq. Even if he had WMD's he is too much a survivor to use or share them. We have been lied to; for what reason? Where is Osama "dead or alive"? There is no integrity to this administration. Foreign and domestic policy is in shambles, our environment is threatened as well as our economy. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

"Probably would have supported the war in Iraq"??? Good grief! Don't you understand that thoughtful opposition to the war is the only thing that's going to get a Democrat elected? It's people who ignore their own common sense and follow blindly in the name of "patriotism" or "unity" that get us into these messes in the first place. I was thrilled when you entered the race and would happily have voted for you and worked to get you elected. Now I'll be supporting Howard Dean.

I was quite impressed when I heard you speak on the Today Show announcing your decision to run for presidency. Our country is in very terrible shape since GW took over. We need someone who understands the needs of all our people, the working man, elderly, health care concerns, education, and our military. You seem to have good ideas and I applaud your effort. I have one request. I believe that if you were to convince Hillary Clinton to be your running mate, the two of you could surely create a historical moment. She is quite loved by the American people, and she would work hard for all of them. This would support you being a two-termer and open the door for her to become the first woman President of the United States. I don't know what I could do from my small town in Kentucky to support you, but you will get my vote!! Good luck in your campaign. Our country needs you!!!

Tell us your plan for what to do now about foreign policy from exiting Iraq and Afganistan, to how coalitions will be built for our global health in the future. Tell us your plan to put the economy back on track. Tell us how your inexperience at polics will translate to a better leadership. Playing politics is a nasty business. When you agreed to run for President, I began to feel hopeful again. Please be the person you appear to be. Thank you. Ruth Samuels, Citizen

Let's not turn this into the following. Beat the Republican masses in what they want the American people to believe. We don't want discord among the Democrats. We want integrity, humility, and a plan to believe in. "While some Republicans worry that Clark could pose problems for Bush, Christine Iverson, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said the retired general's candidacy only "means more noise, more discord and more Democrat-versus-Democrat disagreement on Iraq policy, taxes, trade and other issues."" Thank you.

I remember Vietnam! If you don't, take the time to learn about it because, as the saying goes, "anyone who ignores history is doomed to repeat it!" Our so-called "troops" joined the military for many reasons, but damned few joined America's military for the "patriotic" reasons being given by Bush's propaganda machine. They did NOT volunteer to fight and die for our country! None of our "boys" are in Iraq BY CHOICE! Our "boys" are victims of circumstances. They were in the proverbial "wrong place at the wrong time!" I joined the Marines when I was 17 years old, and from my own experiences, I can tell you I did NOT join the Marines for "patriotic" reasons! No, I joined the Marines for primarily economic reasons. I was fresh out of high school -- a kid! My grades in what they call "Honors" classes today were average! I was the oldest of eight children. My parents didn't have money! I had a lot of growing up to do as should be expected of ALL TEENAGERS! And yes, I saw one too many John Wayne movies like his "Sands of Iwo Jima"! When I joined the Marines, the last thing on my mind was the possibility that I might find myself fighting, and potentially dying, for anything, let alone some CORRUPT CAUSE. I suspect the same is true of the vast majority of our "boys" in the military today! The events of 9/11 were a tragedy for America, but instead of asking WHY 9/11 happened in the first place, the political leadership of our country is using 9/11 to justify the POLITICAL agenda of the most right wing government America has had in my life time. In my opinion and others, America's foreign policy in the Middle East is corrupt to the core! In my opinion and others, Bush's so-called "Doctrine of Preemption" is AGGRESSION! And, if he continues to have his way, there will be no end to his aggressive "preemptive" wars! And it's obvious to the most casual observer, Bush and his advisers don't LIKE any person or nation that does NOT agree with them! Even a nation whose assistance was the determining factor in winning our independence from Great Britain -- FRANCE -- is vilified by Bush and his propaganda machine! America has never been hated more by the international community than it is right now! Is anyone asking why? I don't know about you, but my children are not CANNON FODDER! And that's exactly how the Bush family (of "Bush the First" fame) felt about the lives of their children. That's why they pulled every string in the book to get their eldest son, our current president, an appointment in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War? Thanks to the "connections" of the Bush family, our current president, "Bush the Second," got to fly over the FRIENDLY SKIES of Texas in government supplied military jet fighters, drink booze and chase women while his peers in the poor, lower-middle and middle income classes were fighting and dying in Vietnam! The best way to SUPPORT our "troops" -- teenagers, for the most part -- is to get them the hell out of HARM'S WAY in Iraq as soon as possible and to make sure that "Bush the Second" and his right wing advisers don't ever USE them again anywhere else! I remember Vietnam! It was seared into my memory! If you don't know about Vietnam, take the time to learn about it because as I quoted at the top, "anyone who ignores history is doomed to repeat it!" Like Vietnam, willful lies, yes, willful lies, not facts, are once again killing our children and the children of others, but this time, it's in Iraq!

There is talk about you teaming with Howard Dean. I doubt that Dean is willing to play second fiddle. Are you? I have a better suggestion. Dennis Kucinich has credentials as good or better than Dean's especially on opposition to the Iraq war. He can probably deliver Ohio with 21 electoral votes. Why don't you go with im?

Dear General Clark and Draft Clark leaders, One day on the job and you candidate Clark have turned your back on your legion of ardent supporters by aligning yourself with Bush, Kerry and all the rest who voted for the war. On the very day that Kennedy correctly and forthrightly termed the war a phony made-up-in-Texas political maneuver you are doing a 180 degree turn. My wife and I are appalled and saddened by this and our once great enthusiasm and hope in your candidacy has been dashed. You seemed to be a candidate who opposed this bankrupt war and now you appear to be saying that you would have opted for war. The inspectors were doing their job well...no weapons of mass destruction were in the country, the international community was patient, there was no immenent threat to the region or the US. The neo-cons had Iraq in their sights long before Sept. 11, which was the Pearl Harbor they were praying for in their plans for regime change across the region. This was well known by all who studied the situation. Your statement that you would have voted for the war option ignores these truths and displays an image of yourself quite different from the one leading up to your announcement as a candidate. Sincerely, Mike Ryan Melrose MA

Sir: For the past four or five months I have been wearing a "Nixon Now" button left over from the '72 election. My reasoning was that I would wear that button until I knew who I was voting for in the 2004 election -- it was pretty much a gag. As of yesterday, that button has been retired. This will only be the second presidential election that I have voted in (I'm only 23), but it sure feels great to be able to get behind someone who not only shares a majority of my opinions, but is also able to speak so eloquently about any subject put before him. Thank you.

I recently read TRUMAN and based on that knowledge I believe, firmly, that if you are paired with Senator Graham you will win the nomination. I am a Senior at the University of Florida and am graduating soon. I was built up to be a man of the people and would like to see the legacy that Lawton Chiles instilled in me lived up to its fullest.

Good Day Sir, I speak for myself and many others in Australia who detest the politics of George Bush and the Republicans. I have learned of Gen Clark through the writings of Michael Moore, and e-mailed Gen Clark (through a link provided by MM) imploring him to run for the Democratic candidacy. The news has just broken here that Gen Clark is to run. My best wishes to all who have offered their support in his campaign. While far away, we Aussies recognise that the USA and the World needs a strong leader, and Gen Clark has my vote. Kind Regards, Steve Clements Melbourne, Australia

The other day I heard you would run, I was so psyched! I'm 20 years old and a student at UCLA, and I just wanted to let you know that I an 100% behind you.

I have watched you over the years and listened to your commentary on TV....you have touched me more than any other person out there. Why? You speak your mind.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I have read your thoughts on the issues that are of importance to this nation at the urging of a friend. I am so very encouraged by what I read. It would be my honor to vote for you in November 2004. This country is on a crash course, and before any more wrecks occur, the driver needs to be changed. One question for you, General Clark. What do you think about this redistricting mess in the state of Texas. The legislature has now entered a third special session, and to my knowledge I thought each state was allowed one time each ten years to draw a new map. The state government seems to be run by Washington, and that's a very scary situation. One other question concerns education. What are your views on the national standards, "No Child Should be Left Behind," implemented by President Bush? I look forward to hearing your voice of common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. A candidate who has unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials is necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Thank you for running for President. Sincerely, Nancy A.

I agree, the focus should be to remove Bush from power. Even a Dean/Clark or Clark/Dean ticket would be seen as weak. They are both outsiders to DC and will need a more solid experienced running mate to fill their short commings. Mr. Clark has the best chance to draw more middle Dem/Rep VOTERS because Dr. Dean is veiwed by most as being too far left, even by some Democrats, to give in to special interest groups. Being balanced is the key to unseat Billy Bob Bush. So please be careful what you wish in a Dean/Clark or Clark/Dean ticket. If Dr. Dean wins the primary then more power to him.

Dear General Clark, I was very happy to hear that you were in the running. I think any of the other nine Dems would make a better Pres. than the one we have but you seem the most likely to attract other party votes,indeed the most likely to tromp W. in 2004. I'm already dreaming of a Bush/Clark debate next year. I don't see the other candidates being quite as impactful as I think you would be in a one on one with George. Well, I hope to get more involved myself. Good luck to you, and thanks again.

You have announced Gen Clark. I congratulate you. You strike me as a man of integrity, General. You are preparing to enter the debates. What would be your reaction if you had already raised $4.8 million dollars for your campaign, but you were considered "controversial" and were not allowed to debate? How would you react? Well, General, if you are really concerned about this country, the economic and foreign mess we are in then I strongly urge you to demand that the DLC include Lyndon LaRouche as one of the legitimate debaters. He has raised more money than 4 of the presidential candidates allowed to debate. You don't have to agree with him, but to exclude him is a travesty to this nation. Mr. LaRouche is a true patriot and needs to be heard. I think you would find Mr. LaRouche refreshing compared to the dribble of the present 9. So far, LaRouche is the only political figure willing to "tell the truth." Are you willing for him to tell the truth General - Are you willing to hear all sides of the issues. I wait on your answer

General Clark, I need a job. I have a BS from the University of Pittsburgh, but have failed for over a year to land a job in my trained field. The reason, affirmative action. I can prove that I have lost two professional jobs because I am a white male. I do not believe in affirmative action, but would vote for you if you tried to abolish this discrimatory practice that hires less qualified individuals based on the color of their skin to meet quota. You have my vote, if you PLEDGE to change the reverse rascism that in my eyes has ruined my ability to land a lucrative, honest job that I was trained to perform. Please, do this and you have my vote, as well as many of my close friends who are in the same situation because of a skin that we were born with. If you do not pledge to do this, my vote, as well as many of my close friends, will not be for you. I vote on principles, and not political parties.

To all the Dean and other Democratic canidate supporters. I respect your views but honestly there is no way our man (Wesley Clark) is going to play second banana to your canidate. I respect Dean and his views but the IMPORTANCE of the next election is to remove Bush from office and Wesley Clark is just the man to do it. I hope democrats will not stoop to Karl Rove tactics and reduce the dialog between the canidates to petty bickering. We need to unite in our effort to remove Bush from office. There is much at stake in the next presidential election. The very foundation of our Constitution and Bill of Rights is under attack daily, not from our foreign enemies but by those in the white house. Please keep your eyes on the prize, not the election of "your" canidate, but the election of the BEST canidate to beat Bush and send him back to Texas. Give em hell Wes! Respectfully, Richard Meade

Dear Advisors to the General: Be vague. On policy, please, please be vague. None of us wants detailed plans. Don't let anyone pin him down -- in debates on domestic policy, just have him say that his opponents have made a lot of very interesting proposals and he will be looking at all of them with his economic team, and will adopt the ones that are best for all the people of the U.S. Announcement speech hit right note of optimism, hope -- we love that smile! We don't want pugnacious (Dean) or intellectual (Kerry) or angry. A genuine smile communicates hope. His natural manners make him eminently believable. He conveys the message, "Believe in me and you won't be disappointed." He seems so genuinely kind that any candidate who attacks him is going to make himself look bad and give the General sympathy points. That means he can continue to take the high road and avoid personal attacks himself. You hold all the aces, so keep it simple, okay?

Dear General Clark An article by Paul Krugman in last Sunday's New York Times Magazine on tax cuts might be of interest to you (if you haven't already read it). I had an idea about the neoconservative economic agenda, but this article gave details and certainly opened my eyes. My interest is in returning this country back to its citizens, economically, socially and spiritually. We are certainly headed down the road to limited freedom, poor health and education, environmental disruption and general distortion of our Constitution. I have great faith in you and your ability to lead us back onto the right road. Sending you best wishes and support for your campaign. Sincerely, Tania Abrams

I would like to know about General Clark's views on "globalization" and the effects of such treaties as NAFTA and GATT on the American economy and workforce. Would he continue, or seek to adjust or reverse the destructive force of these agreements and their impact on the hemoraghing of jobs to overseas? .

I am doing a report on a presidental candidate. I picked you but I need more information about your background like when you were growing up and during high school. I'm about to go to high school and wondered how you got into the military. I really think you would make a good president because I have been researching since you joined your campain. I would like to know what you are going to do about resisting drugs, and under age drinking because some of my old friends have gotten into those things and they mean alot to me. Remember teenagers are Americans too. Thanks, Rebecca, 13

As a young french man working in the states for last few months , this is with a lot of satisfaction that i know you are running for the presidential in 2004. For the honnor to the "Old Europe", i know you will be much more better for the international diplomacy than the Actual President. I hope to hear that my country (and also germany) who try to bring diplomacy and not war, will be not treated any more as they are right now...We need some consideration and i hope people will realise that we said was maybe the truth. War is never a solution ! Europe Need the USA and the USA need Europe ! but i guess Mr Bush didn't understand that and he must feel pretty bad now, alone. Please Run for the presidency and bring back the Honor of this wonderful country who suffer from a very bad image all over the world because Mr Bush ! Please run for president.

General Clark, I know you have already decided to run for President. But I would like to urge you to consider joining forces with Howard Dean as running mates. Each of you has similar values, and a good chance with the voters, but together you would be unstoppable. Bush wouldn't have a chance against the both of you. Whatever you decide, sir, I wish you only the best.

What is an overachiever? A man who has “off the charts” intelligence, self discipline, extreme motivation to accept nothing from himself but excellence; that is only a part of that which describes an overachiever. How would this sort of person affect those in superior or equal positions, but lacking in those high standards and having the willingness to accept mediocrity as long as the beaten path is followed? First, they would not understand the actions of the overachiever being of less capability and less self discipline as well as having fewer successes. Second, they would be jealous of the accomplishments of the overachiever, believing those accomplishments the product of manipulation or slight of hand. Third, they would be frustrated by the tenacity of the overachiever who will get the best possible results in a given situation with or without the cooperation of those superiors. What should be done with an overachiever? He should be put at the top. General Wesley Clark is an overachiever. He should be nominated as the Democratic candidate for the presidency and elected to that office where he is answerable only to the people and their representatives. People should be certain that they are registered as Democrats so that they can vote in the primaries. We the People have had to tolerate an under-achiever who had to be placed in the oval office by the absolute power of the Supreme Court, the man who put many of them on the bench, and the wealth of the special interest groups who would control the office of the presidency. We all know that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The present situation will test whether that absolute power or the will of the people should control our government.

Dear General Clark, Not long ago, I wrote you and said that I thought that asking someone to run for President was too much, but that if you did run, I was with you all the way. Please know that your decision to run is really a gift of hope to many Americans, like me, who had started to feel as if they were losing the country they love. I intend to thank you in person someday, but until I do, please know how very much your gift is appreciated. And please convey my deepest gratitude to your wife and family as well for the sacrifices they will make. Give 'em all you got. That will be more than enough. You are what America deserves--the best. Good luck--myself and my friends will be working hard for you (and keeping you in our prayers..!). Michelle Pinsonat

Beaucoup de Français commencent a entendre parler de vous. La politique internationale de GW Bush est desastreuse. Les Francais ne sont pas dupes : nous avons toujours aime le grand peuple americain et les valeurs que ces citoyens defendent. Il est vraiment dommage qu'une democratie comme les Etats Unis soit gouvernee par un incapable de cette sorte. Bien sur, nous Francais, portons un regard critique sur notre societe, mais la ligne de conduite de M Chirac sur la Guerre en irak etait juste et beaucoup de pays dans le monde nous ont donne raison. Esperons que ce siecle qui vient, qui a deja demare avec une guerre, soit porteur d'espoir pour toutes les nations du Monde et que nos pays riches seront moins egoistes et aideront les pays les plus pauvres a se developper. Il y va de notre futur a tous. "VIVE WES CLARK, VIVE LES ETATS UNIS ET VIVE LA FRANCE !"

Dear General Clark, I am not an American, I am your neighbor north of the border. But like most Canadians we follow American politics pretty closely. Our countries are so intimately tied that I believe all Canadians should be aware of American politics. My own view of George W is that he is in fact pathological. I find it incredibly frightening that a man at the helm of such power lacks so fundamentally in such key areas: compassion, rational thought, honesty, intellectual maturity....I could go on and on. I believe he cannot be honest with himself, that his M.O. is to rationalize his pathology at the expense of the rest of the world. Therefore it is critical that a better choice be put forth for your voters. From what I know of you thus far you seem like the best man for the job. I hope to see your face at the next nation-wide debate as the Democratic candidate running for President. And then I hope to see you being inaugurated and restore what was once an honorable position before that grand post was made a mockery of in the last "election". Sincerely, Heather Morgan

Dear Gen. Clark, I pledged $50 for you to run, and I have followed through on that pledge with a donation. Your campaign will be successful if we all continue in this vein -- everyone here needs to contribute. Bush is liable to raise at least $250 M for his campaign alone, not to mention the neo "con" machine (Limbaugh and Coulter for example). Reasonable, moderate americans need to band together and organize! So far you have my vote as an intelligent, sane, moderate, proven leader. That said, don't be too stubborn or closed minded in organizing your campaign (or even your administration!..hehe). This is politics, not Kosovo. The attacks in the primaries and the general election will be personal, the facts distorted, but I think that reasonable americans will see though that if you campaign on the issues and your record, giving little heed to such attacks. You must have a thick skin, and answer such mudslinging with honest, curt responses, then return to the real issues. Lets get america back to reason! Nathan

Although I am a longtime Republican (since the 60s), I have grown increasingly dissatisfied with my party, particularly with the current administration. I have remained Republican largely because I have not cared for the Demacratic alternative. However, now that you are in the race, I am giving serious consideration to changing parties so I can vote for you in the primaries! I have long felt that the current administration made a serious error in Afghanistan by not sending more boots. It is nice to hear a candidate who is not afraid to be critical of the Afghanistan strategy of the current adminstration. I also see the invasion of Iraq as the opening of Pandora's box. Before the invasion we had little to fear from Iraq; with the box now open, I don't see how we can keep Iraq from becoming a militant Islamic state. Perhaps ypu have a plan to keep this from happening? I look forward to voting for you. Jack Douthett

Dear General Clark, I’m a big fan/supporter, and very excited about your recent announcement that you’re officially entering the 2004 presidential race. I am, by definition, a liberal democratic who has never been politically active. I vote, and that’s about it. But the actions of the Bush Administration over the last three years has scared me – more than any terrorist threat – so I find myself motivated to write this letter. I truly believe you’re a man who can be trusted and are the perfect fit for America right now, but it frustrates me to no end to hear the media wrongly paint you as a military man with no political experience. The statement that you have no real political experience is absolutely ludicrous, and I hope you will nip this criticism in the bud immediately. Leading a major international peace keeping mission IS the highest form of politics, and one of the most difficult of political situations to manage. Please teach middle America that when leading such an effort, generals must meet with high-level officials such as presidents, secretaries of state, etc., which is, lo and behold, “political experience” (and a hell of a lot more high-level Washington experience than Bush Jr. or even Bill Clinton had coming into office). The American public won’t understand this unless it’s repeated constantly. The bottom line is that you need to demystify Washington. I’d like to hear you explain to the public, with true conviction, that what goes on in Washington on a daily basis (cutting deals, meeting with special interest groups, cabinet meetings, luncheons, etc.) is not rocket science nor near as challenging as leading a peace keeping mission abroad. I’d like to hear you state over and over that you absolutely consider your years as a U.S. General to be extensive “political experience”. Yes, it’s true that you’ve never actually dealt with domestic challenges, such as balancing budgets, passing bills, etc., but the answer to this criticism should be simple: you plan to surround yourself with experts in domestic politics, economics, etc., and considers yourself a very fast learner. The insinuation should be: if a simpleton like Bush can learn to manage this stuff, you certainly can. I honestly don’t think that any of the Americans who voted for Bush had any delusions that he’d be the one calling the shots in Washington. Bush was elected because he came off as a “straight shooter” who wouldn’t even think of getting in the way of the experts. You, Wesley Clark, come to the table with a hell of a lot more than Bush had to offer when he ran in 2000, and you should let Americans know it. If you win the primary, the single most important thing you can do to answer skeptics and get elected is find a running-mate who will be the domestic policy “Ying” to your foreign policy “Yang”. If you find such a partner, your team will come off as fully capable and well balanced. I’m sure that your campaign strategists are well on top of most of what I’ve written here, but I also know that sometimes it helps to hear from average “Joes”, such as myself, about how we perceive a candidate and exactly what we want to hear him/her say. I, personally, want to hear you make Americans understand and appreciate that in order for a man, like yourself, to earn the rank of four-star general you must, in essence, first become a sophisticated politician. Good luck with your campaign, General Clark. And when you’re down and/or exhausted and considering quitting, try to remember all of the Americans out here, such as myself, who desperately want and need a leader of your character in the Oval Office. Sincerely, Gabriel A. Val Chicago, IL

Gen. Clark or assistant there of, I am an NYU student, freshman, from atlanta. When I first heard, from my mother, that a former four-star general who really represented the liberal majority of our country, I had a fever of unspoken degrees above healthy. Consequently, when I woke up the next morning I was not sure wether or not I dreamed that conversation up. Judging by the ugly, stifled condition the political scene has descended into, these past four years, I am still not sure how much of your existence I can account to fever dreams. The Forehead of America is in heat for leadership. Wake us up, General.

Dear General Clark, After you become president of United States, please fix the current hopeless economy. As a middle class family, I feel the government has not done enough to help us. I feel that if a person is rich, he/she doesn't care much about tax; on the other hand, if a person is poor, he/she is qualified to recieve lots of government assistance. However, if one is in the middle, the government doesn't care much; one pays just as much tax as the rich (percentage wise) and does not receive any government benifits. We're trapped. PLEASE FIX THE CURRENT ECONOMY !!!! Regards, Tom T.

Yeah Rush has people calling in saying they worked for the General and that he was a "maniacal General", then Rush says that he's scared that the General would surrender to "world domination." I don't see the world dominating anything. I see this Administration trying to dominate in the world though, which is why the world hates us and the UN will not give us any money. If the General was in Bush's position right now, Rush would have call our current tactics "world domination" and actually be right. It's a good thing sane people don't take Rush seriously. His job is nothing more than to divide the country, not unite it. He is part of the problem in America today. The General will unite America in spite of Rush and the propagandist talk radio movement because there's no credibility to anyone who supports the Bush agenda when our eyes tell them otherwise, and the General is above the Talk Radio fray.

These experiences have come about through my interaction with the people whom I work with and also an American roommate and best friend named John R Hay Jr. These experiences, I will treasure through out my life.

Mr Clark, Based on the positions outlined in this website, I'm hoping you'll run, and want to learn more about where you stand. I like your position on social issues. My wife and I are strongly pro choice and pro- affirmative action. I heartily agree with your position on the Bush Tax cuts. I'd like to learn more about your position on the Patriot act, and what you'd do about it. I'm deeply concerned about this as an unacceptable encroachment on civil liberties. Based on what I've read, I don't believe the issue is limited to Habeas Corpus. I'm concerned about inappropriate search and siezure against American citizens on American soil, and inadequate accountability. This, coupled with the secrecy of the current administration is troubling to me. I will be an enthusiastic supporter of a credible democratic candidate who is socially progressive, who supports openness and accountability in government, and who can protect our country from terrorists without trampling the constitution and alienating our allies abroad. I hope you are that man. I look forward to hearing more about your positions on the issues. Regards, Tom Turicchi Dallas, Tx

Finally...you announced. After having watched you religiously on CNN and elsewhere, I can see that you observe, then meticulously size up a situation and act accordingly. Now, after having observed and sized up the other Dem. candidates myself, I cringe at some of their missteps and gaffes, and how easily they could have been avoided (yes, it's a given that spontaneity, the spotlight result in unavoidable errors...I speak firsthand as as one who is occasionally forced to be in the public eye. But still...). So, it's my fervent wish that you, as a keen observer and canny "sizer-upper", can take a breath and sidestep the blunders that the press eats up and the Republican pundits exploit. Additionally, you have the mandatory intelligence for the job, coupled with the abiltiy to communicate--without the unfortunate condescension of Gore, nor the infuriating phony folksy cowboy-speak of Bush. In short, being smart, yet to the point, should appeal to just about everyone. Communication is everything. You are the best bet and the best man to beat Bush. We need him OUT, and you IN...the Wes Wing. I am thrilled that you're running for president.

Sir, I've been serving in the former Yugoslavia as a UN peacekeeper in 90's. So I followed very closely Your work to stabilize the situation for new era in the whole area. Now I´ve been following Mr. Bush and his attempts to make this world more peaceful fora all of us. I´m very dissappointed, he has now created even more fear for us. I wrote also a "war letter" to the website of UsaToday in my letter, I didn´t support those military actions against Iraq. I was worried also, that do we all have to be afraid of Americans in the futute. If we Finnish for example don´t agree the world policy of the U.S. are we going to be punished somehow? In the European countries we don´t want the U.S is run by any military hawk, if the military power is used somewhere there are also responsibilities afterwards. When Mr. Bush thinks that the U.S. has right to do what ever it wants, we have to accept e.g. that Israel is willing to follow the model. This was seen when the vice prime minister of Isreal suggested the option to kill Mr. Arafat. So, when I heard You are working for the candidateship for the White House I was really happy. You have a lot of experience and talents needed to lead the U.S. back to the right track. I only mentioned these, but there are many other reasons also for Your precidency. General Clark, America and the whole world needs you. Please run for president. Everything good for You.

Dear General Clark, America needs a new president. You may be one of a very few who is capable of meeting the challenges of our uncertain times. As I start the seventh decade of my life, I may have finally been afforded the opportunity to "vote for someone of my choice" as opposed to voting for "the lesser of two evils." Thank you for that possibility. In addition, we have many vets up here in the hinterland who are very patriotic. My hope is that you might use the American Patriot Act as a vehicle to teach my fellow vets the differences between being patriotic and Jingoistic! Good Luck.

Dear General Clark: I've never voted in a presidential election, and I'm 57 years old. Am I proud of it? Yes! In my mind, there has never been a candidate that I could say was worth going to the polls for. Then, you threw your hat in the ring. Now, you have my attention, General. I've finally found a candidate who's a REAL man, REAL soldier, REAL patriot and most importantly, REAL leader. You have my respect and admiration for your life's accomplishments General, and you have my support, and my vote. I'm a Vietnam veteran (US Army, Qui Nhon 1965-66). I fought in an unpopular war, and became an unpopular soldier in the process. Not my fault, sir. George Bush has now put this country in another Vietnam situation and is creating the same atmosphere that you and I remember so well during and in the aftermath of Vietnam. The Iraq war was not necessary, the lives lost were needless on both sides, and the soldiers who are fighting it will suffer the same fate as the Vietnam Vet if it is allowed to continue under Bush. This country will eventually tire of this conflict, the money spent to continue it, and most of all the espirit de corps of the soldiers will start to diminish when they know they aren't supported by the folks back home. Don't we ever learn from history? My heart goes out to those soldiers in Iraq. l know how they feel and you do too. I also believe that you can and will do something about this issue General. Run your campaign like you've run your military career, take no prisoners. Please, get Bush out of office, our future depends on it. God bless you, WELCOME HOME! P.S. Come to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Veterans Day this year if you can. You'll get the support of all your brothers. We're all pulling for you sir. Regards, Robert Fender

You do not have a chance. I was in the Military elite. If you feel the need to control when and where firearms are issued, go back to the Military. Leave my right to keep and bear arms alone. When are liberals going to understand that using our morals and rights as a platform for sale to get votes from deviant / minority groups in our society, only causes and adds to the social problems we have to deal with today. Tolerance is not acceptance. Do not mess with the moral majority.

As an American citizen that has been living and working in Europe for the last 4 years I have been able to discuss and analyze America's more recent policy decisions with a wide demographic slice of the world. It is an embarrassment that anti-American sentiment is at an all time high. Our conduct, behavior and lack of respect for other cultures and their views leave me in a constant state of apology for my country. We are on the threshold of a critical precipice – one that requires leadership for us to make the choice of higher intelligence and enlightened views without compromising our integrity, the values and core beliefs that our country was founded on. You, General Clark are that leader. I have never been inspired to write a candidate, but your skills, talent, and acumen are needed by our country to help foster a world that chooses a path of balance. I support you! My many friends (of different nationalities) also cheer you on. We are thankful and relieved that you have announced you will run for President. I will contribute time, finances and my vote for your election. Thank you for running!

DEAR MR. CLARK, YOU HAE MY SUPPORT AND THE SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS - WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE SECURITY AND PROSPERITY OF THIS COUNTRY IS AT STAKE WITH MR. BUSH IN OFFICE. IN A MATTER OF THREE YEARS, MR. BUSH HAS MANAGED TO PUT THIS COUNTRY'S ECONOMY IN A $455 BILLION DEFICIT AND RISING, ALIENATED MOST OF OUR ALLIES, LOST ABOUT 3.5 MILLION JOBS, AND WITH MOST STATE BUDGETS IN THE RED, THE NET RESULT IS A DECREASE IN SOCIAL SERVICES TO OUR CITIZENS. THIS COUNTRY NEEDS A NEW DIRECTION AND NEEDS TO GO OVER ITS FOREIGN POLICY. THIS ATTITUDE OF ARROGANCE MUST STOP - WHERE IS THE HUMILTY IN THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT. I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE THE RIGHT CANDIDATE, AND HAVE MY SUPPORT - BUT I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE YOU IN SOME CONVENTIONS AND PRESS CONFERENCES ETC!! MR. CLARK, GOOD LUCK - AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL BRING THE INTEGRITY AND HUMILITY BACK TO THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

The whole nation will love to get that name back without the prejudice of the bad part of the Clinton legacy. Between that and the fact that you as a general will be able to stop the most common Republican remarks about the "weakness" of the democrats, YOU WILL WIN AND SAVE US AND THE WORLD FROM GW BUSH I really hope you will win the first part of the race among the democrats... and YES : America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Please run for president and push the debate and help to hold the current administration responsible for the bankrupting of our childrens future. We cannot afford $87 billion here and untold billions later when we as a nation cannot guarantee electricity will flow from the midwest to Rochester NY, because we have not made the $87 billion dollar investments in America and her people and infrastructure.

I am so happy you decided to run for president. During the "war" I watched you on CNN and I wished at that time that you were in charge. I am so frightened by what has happened to my country in the past 2 years and I didn't see a democrat who I thought could beat Bush. Now that you are in the race, my prayers have been answered. I believe it is most important to find a way to get the other candidates to stop trying to beat up on each other and to rally behind you so that the democrats can present one slate. It seems to me that, many times, democrats are their own worst enemies. I'm certainly not advocating secrecy but it would be nice if all the dirtry linen was ironed out in quiet caucuses rather than run up the flag poll on the public stage. The opposition party will certainly give the media enough reasons to not vote democrat without the democrats' help. It's time to put away the egos and join together to rid the White House of George Bush. A candidate who puts his personal desires for glory ahead of getting this country back on track is not worthy of anyone's vote. Thanks again for giving me a candidate who I can admire and respect and who I think is the best person to defeat the opposition. Begone Bush, Rumsfield, Ashworth, Wolfowitz, et al.

Dear General Clark, I met you a few years back when you were a 1 Star General at Fort Irwin and my husband Bill Pope was the Mayor of Barstow. I have some very fond memories of the humvee trip out in the desert and other times that were spent with you as well as your wife. My husband Bill spoke very highly of you. He often said that he respected your integrity and the way that you seemed to relate with everyone around you no matter what their rank or walk in life. When he read your book about Kosovo, he told me that only a handful of men are willing to stand up for what they believe in no matter what the cost and you were one of those men. I believe that Bill understood this since he also was that kind of man and at times it is not easy to stand by your convictions. Bill passed away of brain cancer in January 2001. If he were here, I know that he would work diligently for your election. He was a Republican, but believed first in voting for someone who held high morals and looked out for the best interest of the people. I am submitting my name to offer you any assistance that you may need throughout your campaign. There is no job too small. If everyone works together, great things can happen. Please do not hesitate to use me in anyway you can. Take care and God bless you and your family during this time.

Just as I had begun to lose hope for the future of this once-great nation, you announced your canidacy for President yesterday, and suddenly things don't seem like they're going to be that bad afterall. For the purpose of demographics, I am a 45 year-old, unemployed, white, gay male, a registered Democrat who hasn't missed an election since Ford vs. Carter. Your credentials are very impressive, and I want to be one of the first to jump on your official bandwagon. For a change, it will be nice to have a "Commander in Chief" who actually has earned the right to the title, rather than someone who only knows how to duck and dive and tell somebody else to take a bullet. I am positive you will gain more and more supporters daily. I will tirelessly work on your behalf, in any capacity you may see fit, in any way that will make you the President in 2004.

if not for the clinton connections (fabiani it al... ) and the apparent clintonesque need to win and the lust for power over the desire for truth, you would be an attractive candidate. clearly your political principals are about yourself and are not based in any core beliefs. does this country really need another bill clinton? do you really want to the be the person that keeps the clintons effectively in power? the clintons are a cancer on the democratic party. can't you find some other meaning in your life?

I am 72, a retiredCPA-Tax-Lawyer. The Bush administration continualy claims it is trying to make the tax laws "fair"- such as eliminating tax on divdends, reducing taxes on the wealthy, etc. When constitution was amended in 1913 permiting taxes on income, Congress swore that it would be fair, never taxing a man on the income he needed to clothe, feed or house his family. What happened to that fairness. If they want to reduce burden on the poor, lower the FICA tax that every poor working man must pay!Bernard (Bob) Sternberg

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times... I am a sudent at a local university. I am concerned with many issues but one has not been mentioned that is of importance to me. Personal liberties are of the most crucial kind, these include abortion, gay rights, and most shunned: drug reform. Why is it that our puritanical government feels it has the right to impose (theologically) based sanctions upon us, about what we the people ingest? If not harming anyone why are there such harsh penalties? Thank you for hearing my concern.

Please tell the American people what your ideas are. It is easy to tell us ALL the things George W. is doing wrong, there are so many things but We as americans and voters want to know what your going to do if you are in the White House. Please try not to fight publicly with the other canidates, be different concentrate on yourself and tell the American people what your going to to if your elected. Thank You and Good Luck! oh, P.S. remember,back in 1992 there was a Govenor from Arkansas that got into the race late and ended up being a two term president!

I have read your background, biography, information about your life and contributions. You honestly sound too good to be true. You seem to have every trait that America needs, and desperately wants. Were I not as cynical as I am, I would blindly campaign for you and vote for you. As a member of the VFW, the VA, AARP, and Mobile Riverine Forces, I would attempt to swing all 10 million members to your side. I have heard promises before, and have seen candidates spout their achievements, and promises. What would impress me most, would be for you to tell me why you received the commendations from the Nam era. Many vets from that time frame are asking the same questions. This is being asked by a ground based special forces member that saw many awards being given to command and staff personnel that remained in Saigon, and never experienced the "mud, tha blood, and the beer" that the field personnel lived with daily. I was in Nam from 1969 until 1974, and watched my command officers receive bronze stars, silver stars, etc. while the men that actually did the fighting were lucky to be awarded the combat action ribbon. If you can answer that, I pledge upon the graves of my fallen commrades, that I will do everyting in my power to get you elected. Sincerely, Marty

This is not a letter of support. I need more information that this site just is not giving me. How will General Clark keep Our Country safe? The site just goes on about concerns dealing with the Patriot Act. Fine. But what does he intend to do to keep us safe? The economy will turn around as it always does, but HOW WILL WE STAY SAFE? At least the Patriot Act is a plan. Give me a plan! I know I can trust the thinking of a General... Just show me what you will do.

9/17/2003 Finally, we have a leader and statesman running for President of the United States. General Clark has the brilliance of William Jefferson Clinton, the eloquence of Adlai Stevenson and John Kennedy, the responsible and practical approaches to the great issues of our day of Henry "Scoop" Jackson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon Baines Johnson and Jimmy Carter, and the plain speaking of Harry Truman. You can certainly count on my support (monetary and work) for this esteemed man of decency and excellence. What a welcome "breath of fresh air."

General Clark, Thanks for announcing your candidacy today. I'm looking forward to watching your campaign develop as the race draws nigh. I've read about several of your stances and so far I'm in agreement with them. It seems you are the perfect candidate for both foreign and domestic policy. I know you're under attack for not holding political office prior to your announcement, but skeptics should acknowledge the level of politics it takes to get promoted highly within the Armed Forces. Thanks for bringing hope to a dire circumstance both here and abroad.

Please don't vote for Gen. Clark. I appreciate his service to our country and admire the distinction in his achievements. However, I do not want a president who supports the legislation of charity. I do not wish to contribute to a "social safety net" with my wages through "a progressive tax system" but would rather construct a "personal safety net" instead with those same earned wages. If Gen. Clark would like to change his view point and adhere to "constitutional legitimacy" and utilize tax dollars for the maintenance and defense of our country as is stipulated in the Constitution of the US, then perhaps my support can be put behind him.

Thank you for announcing that you will be running for President. I have never been politically active, although I always vote. You have spurred me to act and I feel you are the only representative in the field of candidates that speaks about the things that are important to me. I can't believe the state our country is in, and the downward spiral that we continue to be in. I have heard you speak on television, and you are the first candidate that has actually energized me and your words made a lot of sense to me. They were more than the simple cliche's and rhetoric I hear the other candidates using: You are straightforward, your intelligence shows and you are asking the tough questions. I expect to give you my vote. Thank you.

Dear General Clark, our country seems to be losing its glory due to the poor leadership of the Bush administration. With two small children less than 5 years of age, I often ponder their future. Is their future looking bright? Is the world safer? Will there be opportunity for them? Is our leadership compassionate and inclusive, or do they espouse isolationist and extremist views. Since the Bush administration took control, they have repeatedly made poor choices. They allowed the situation in the middle east for months to go unattended after he took office (because he ignored our past leadership role with regard to Israel and the Palestinians), and then he only paid attention after things began to run out of control. He alienated the world community shortly after he took office by his rejection of the Kyoto treaty to combat global warming and the Earth Summit, leading almost all of our allies to wonder whether America was becoming an isolationist country. His gun slinging comments to the Chinese exacerbated a diplomatic situation leading the Chinese to initially refuse to release the US Airforce plane that had crash landed in their sovereign territory, but without permission. The Bush administrations extremist and isolationist military policy, rapidly shifted the situation following 9-11 from a situation where the world community empathized and supported us unanimously to our current situation in Iraq where the world community at large has the most negative attitude toward our country in a century. The Bush administration has repeatedly suggested that the UN is obsolete and has alienated our NATO allies. His administration acts as if the opinion of the world community is of no importance. Does this make us safer, with the world against us? Will this really help us fight terrorism? Will the Bush administration's attitude about unilateral invasion of countries lead to other countries having similar attitudes? Are we safer today due to his policy? In addition to the Bush administration's abysmal foreign policy, he has equally failed at home in regards to the US economy. His economic policy has squandered our surplus due to his gigantic tax refund that has done little to improve the economy and benefited mostly those in higher income brackets. When he proposed this tax cut, democrats said it would destroy our surplus and they were indeed right. Yet today, him and his colleagues in the Republican party would like to claim that our current economic situation is merely due to 9-11. That's ridiculous, the surplus that is gone is a surplus he gave away, prior to paying his bills. Now bills increase with the war in Iraq and this expense is mostly costing our country alone, because we've "blown off" the world community. A change in the leadership of our country is needed as soon as possible. Only with such a change will our future again become bright and our children prosper. We simply cannot squander our assets, be those assets related to the US economy, our countries environmental assets or assets with regard to a favorable opinion of the world community with respect to our country. General Clark, I have heard you speak on many occasions and you have always struck me as a person of clear thought and reasoning who is moderate, compassionate and inclusive. Our country desperately needs your leadership. I would like to thank you for arising to the challenge to alter the current course of our country and restore it to its glory in the eyes of Americans and the world.

Thank you for making the decision to lead this country. We need your intelligence, integrity and sense of fair play at this critical juncture in our history. As a middle-of-the-road Democrat who has voted Republican in some elections (Gerald Ford), I was extremely pleased to see your quote about the suspension of habeas corpus and how delicate our justice system really is. I really believe our country is in serious trouble. Although no one will admit it, we have established a concentration camp in Guantanamo for people who have been sent there without a chance to prove their innocence, with no right to an attorney. How many more camps will we build and how many opponents of the current administration will lose their freedom there? Can a general also lead a civilian population? I think Eisenhower answered that question quite effectively with his sober, sane and sensible handling of the presidency. We desperately need that now.

General Clark, I didn't find this site until you had been drafted officially so I am too late to join the efforts to encourage you to run since you announced your intention today. We desperately need someone to tackle the tough issues that will call the Republicans and the current administration on the deficit: planning for future Social Security, Medicare and healthcare needs; their secret approach to running the government; positions on affirmative action, taxation, women's right to choose, etc. Thanks for jumping in! While I will need to learn a lot more about you, what I see at first glance looks good. I don't want to live in an America where the media actually reports only a single side of issues. Freedom to speak out should be promoted and encouraged by the White House rather than the quiet sanction of the efforts to silence critics...the Dixie Chicks come to mind. Thank you for making yet another sacrifice.

President Bush: Today I learned that your administration is continuing to push for the “mini-nuke” program and that, incredibly, the congress may actually be considering it. I cannot think of anything that is less appropriate than this. Your administration continues to believe there is only one solution for international problems and that is the threat and use of force, unrestrained wherever possible. This is a terrible misconception, and one that is not worthy of the ideals of this country. Further, it is one that will result in more, and worse, threats to the citizens of the United States, both overseas or here at home. This program must not be initiated. The blurring of the use of nuclear weapons must not be permitted. We must not teach the world that this is acceptable behavior. What we create now, we will be fighting against in the next generation, if not sooner. Stop this madness now! Robert C. Dold 2312 Ewing Ave. Evanston IL 60201

Dear Future President Clark, I have written once before urging you to run for President. I was overjoyed to watch your televised announcement today. As I have stated in my last email, I am a registered republican though to be honest I haven't voted for a republican president since the first time Reagan ran. Over the years I have seen and heard so much double talk and lies come out of the president's mouth as well as congress that disgust barely sums up what I feel for our government. I have been vocal about it too. My neighbors all warn me that someday the government is going to come and pick me up on treason charges or some other trumped up thing. Have we come to this point where Americans are so afraid to voice their opinion? I think so. Hasn't stopped me from shouting out when I see lies and wrong being done. I'd like to thank you for speaking out FOR honest dialogue and for asking the tough questions. As I have also stated in the last email, I am on disability. I don't have much to spare each month but I will do what I can to get the word out more and more. I am recycling old campaign roadside banner frames to make new, "Vote for Clark" signs. I will be placing one prominently in my front yard. My neighbor has also asked for one to display. I will also be making some Vote For Clark t-shirt and sweatshirts with my computer printer and transfer sheets. If I can spare some change this coming month or two, I will come online to contribute that way also. I believe you can make a difference and have since I saw you on CNN in 2001. A friend served under you in special forces and speaks of you highly. It encourages me that a grass roots movement like this can still take place in America. I can't remember a time in my life when Americans got off their dead behinds to stand up for something this important. The future of our nation and our people. While many rose up during and after 9/11 much of it was due to hype and fear. I see your candidacy as a return to people being moved by hope. What an incredible difference. I haven't yet decided whether to change my political affiliation or not. I don't suppose it matters much, since you've got my vote no matter what. I pray you succeed in this bid more than I have ever wanted anyone else to win. This country is in serious straits and too many are being blindsided to that simple truth thanks to the media and the extremists who now hold political power in this country. Again, I say thank you.

To Our Hoped for Future President Wesley Clark: Be My Voice: On December 12, 2000, a disaster happened, and the America we were, the good and the bad, was assaulted. Because this assault came not from a foreign land, but from out of us, America, we are confused as to how to fight it. We need a warrior, a good soldier, to lead us back to the land where truth and justice must prevail, to what America has always represented, not perfect, but a beacon of hope, based on opportunity, protected by the laws set down by our founding fathers, the Constitution of the United States, and a design that has allowed us to become the greatest nation on earth. All of this, the blood, sweat and tears of 200+ years has been hijacked by a formidable enemy of the people; an enemy who has taken up residence in our sacred White House, the house of the people, placed there by a group of 5. Behind this is truly a very vast network. You have a formidable enemy indeed. But, you are strong. You are on the side of truth. You are in the right camp. God will bless your every effort in this great undertaking. We, the majority of Americans, seek a valiant leader. Most of us voted and tried to vote for Al Gore, the true elected President, now living in a "white house" in Tennessee. The extreme rancor that has been generated by the "selection" of Bush by the 5 republican supreme court "justices" is so palpable, that it has changed the way we live. It has changed our dearest relationships with family and friends. We now must not speak of the unspeakable crime of Bush. Yet, to hear the right wing pundits, one would think that President Clinton was still in the White House. It has pitted sons against mothers, neighbor against neighbor. We have been praying, the majority of us, that God's hand would finally move, and give to us a valiant statesman who can grab a hold of that banner we used to cherish, the land of the free, the home of the brave, proud of our country, proud of our heritage, proud of our unfailing dedication to justice, proud of our beloved soldiers who may have to sacrifice their lives to protect our privileges. Proud to present our home as a new home to countless immigrants. Proud to be a sanctuary to the oppressed of the world. Now, we have become the oppressed, the fearful, wondering what freedom will we lose next. This day, you step into greatness. You may not have asked for it, but we have been praying and waiting for you. Be my voice. Restore to us our country. You have what it takes to do this job, and more. We have confidence in you, as God has called you to this great task, and He will also provide all you need. It seemed for a time that maybe God would not answer our prayers the way we wanted. But now we have a hope, in the person of great ability, a true patriot, an admired General who has led his charges through battle, to safety, to victory. You are the one that we have been waiting for. If you will be our voice in this time of unprecidented uncertaintly, we will indeed be able to sing again, God Bless America! I am a widowed mother of three, widowed at the age of 35. I am a grandmother. I am a medical transcriptionist. I was a singer for many, many years, who also wrote a lot of commercials. I am a member of the working poor. I am always tired. The work is never done. I can't afford eating out or buying new clothes. I get my shoes at K-Mart, and my clothes at the Good Will. I am always working to make things better for my family. And, When President Clinton was in office there was a hope that things would slowly but surely get better, and they did, I was happy with my lot. You represent hope, once again, to the me and all "average" Americans. Please be our voice, stand strong and represent what is in our hearts. Speak of the sense of betrayal we live with while being told to "get over it!," the sense of bewilderment, questions, how could this happen in America, who will acknowledge the truth and act on it in our behalf? We witnessed Shock and Awe with so many tears that we could not see through them, for the innocents being slaughtered by Bush, in our name, no matter our protest. The majority of Americans, like me, will do all we can to lift you up and support you, not just for this moment, but all the way to the White House and beyond. God Bless you and your family as you embark on this greatest of journeys, as you reach into the hearts and minds of we Americans, to lead us back home to the America we remember, and we will pray for you that you will know fully God's precious hand is on you, and He has spoken to his warriors, "Be strong, and of good cheer." Lastly, America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run your heart out for president.

You're an inspiration to, not only Americans of this proud land, but also to the many Australians, "decent trusting blokes," who fought for, defended, and supported your country's military vision and action in Vietnam and, more recently, both Gulf wars. Treat Australia as your ally, not the gov't's. Australians are sick of American politicians, and most particularly George W. Bush. Your message should be: 1) "world stability" (not such much "peace," as your competitors will hipe) and, 2) "the rise of the American Union" (in competition to the EU and its currency, which as you know is presently superior to the greenback). Americans, and indeed the world, need a born leader, not another rank career politician... WE NEED YOU, GENERAL!!! RUN, RUN, RUN.....

Hi Wes, This is your old swim team buddy, Frank Pirnique. I'm glad to see you decided to run, it will be refreshing to listen to intelligent comments and ideas for a change. I've read some of what you said and agree 100% on it. Carol, Allan and the news have kept me up on your goings on. Me, I'm about 100% retired at least I'm trying to retire 100%. Ended up teaching two algebra's and a calculus last spring and the university still provides an office, computer and phone, with all those tools one could raise some hell. Good luck, I'm not much to get involved with politics but if you need a voice in the Northwest say so. I can still do the 100 bk in 1:15 or so. Frank

Dear General Clark, When I read today that you had decided to run for democratic nomination, I became very excited. Your record of service (and your political views) make you the perfect candidate for President. Finally, we have someone to counter Bush, someone who is (seems) honest hardworking, loyal, and intelligent. Before I heard you were running, I was a Dean supporter, but I think that your views and record put you on a better footing with America, and therefore you can be assured that you have my vote, both in the primary and the election.

General Clark, I am glad that you decided to run for President of the United States today. You are a becon of hope for millions of Americans who have lost faith in our country's leadership. I am confident that you can bring America back in good standing with our allies across the globe. Your military experience will no doubt be the asset America needs in the rebuilding of Iraq. I also believe that you can help solve our growing domestic problems. In my home state of Ohio, countless jobs are being sent overseas. We need your leadership to stop our bleeding and bring jobs back to Ohio. Good luck in the months ahead. The State of Ohio and the nation are counting on you. Sincerely, Dean Pidcock Nelsonville, Ohio

As an employee of United Defense LP, I'm more than familar with the US Army's Future Combat System program. I hope that when you're President, you'll take a hard look at FCS and do what's necessary to insure our army is equiped with the very best equipment in the near future, irrespective of political considerations.

General Clark, I am honored to register as a volunteer for your campaign & also to contribute monetarily to your efforts to win the presidency. I have love America and all that we have done as a nation, not only for ourselves but for the rest of the world. We as Americans have unfortunately and regrettably had to endure thru what seems like almost unbearable conditions under the current Bush/Cheney administration. My original intentions were to support Howard Dean, but now that you have formally entered the race I plan to wholeheartedly support your presidential endeavor. I am a former Navy combat corpsman who served with the USMC. As the navy saying goes, "bravo zulu!" General.

The way that the election system favors the guy with the most money, and the fact that our politicians clearly represent their financial interests and not "we the people" means that we have a plutocracy and not a democracy. The system is not even constitutional. Say there is a rich candidate against a poor candidate and the rich candidate airs an ad criticising the poor candidate. The poor candidate must respond but cannot afford to. His freedom of speech has been abridged by the electoral and commercial TV advertizing laws. This is unconstitutional. How do you propose to fix this.

GEN Clark, As a Democrat and a former Army officer, I have been eagerly awaiting a Democratic candidate that can both defeat Bush and hold true to the values and ideals that I cherish. Prior to your announcement of candidacy, I have been uneasy about the field of candidates. Though I dislike being called a "Moderate" (due to its connotation as "riding the fence") I have been worried that the candidates at the time either were too extreme in their ideals and plans, or too unsure in their own leadership to be a sincere challenge to Bush and Republicans in general. I am no longer uneasy about the candidates. My choice is you. Being Army officer, I believe that you know how to make the true tough decisions that an Executive must make, yet also manifest the realism and care that a Democratic candidate must possess. That is the quality of leadership that the Army trains: compassion, courage, and dedication. But America needs more than just a leader in that sense. America needs a leader who also knows the essence of a viable economic plan to bring us out of this slump, and a leader who is a master of delicate diplomacy. I believe that you have these skills. As a former Economics professor, you have the potential to bring real ecomonic direction to the country, as opposed to relying the blind hope that somehow tax cuts will lead us to a recovery. As a businessman, a senior Army officer, and the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO I know that you are well-versed in the art of diplomacy. Such diplomacy is not just a talent on the foreign stage (which our nation seems to be lacking in the past few years) but a talent among peers to convince and persuade those Americans of divergent points of view to set aside their extreme differences and instead focus on a common unifying purpose and goal. I live in Washington and see such divisive partisan actions every day, but I hope to see a unifying candidate who can set this aside, or at least utilize this energy for the betterment of the people of America. You have my vote in the upcoming primaries, and ultimately for President of the United States. Please guide your campaign to highlight these qualities which set you apart from every other candidate in the field. America doesn't need just any Democrat. America needs you.

America does NOT need General Clark! America needs a person who when confronted with WACO would have STOPPED the proceedings! No, instead, General Clark proceeded with the murders committed upon Americans and showed total disregard for the rights of Americans to have and hold their Rights to be secure upon their property! General Clark therefore should be brought before a Court of Law and proscetuted to the fullest extent of the Law and jailed for his participation in the WACO TX incident! General Clark is a derelict! He represents, after my 27 years of military service, the typical Political Officer of the Russian Homeland. This Special Forces Enlisted person, Navy Aviator Officer, retired Officer, sees him for what he is. Oh, he's just like all the rest! A self serving nincompoop! But I'll be damned if I'll sit back and allow him to rise to the Presidency and become a power which he feels he deserves! NO WAY! Therefore, I shall endeavor as a soldier to ensure that this Soldier NEVER reaches the office of Presidency. Guy Cunningham 101st Airborne 5th SF Group 20th SF Group Navy Pilot Masters in Manpower, Personnel and Training Analysis Senior Analyst on Joint Strike Fighter Program Senior Analyst of Navy Aviation Manpower Mr. Clark is NOT a candidate in my mind. He represents the typical politically correct era of the Clinton Administration. He does NOT represent the typical soldier. Therefore, I will endeavor to defeat him and expose him for the pathetic "soldier" he is and expose him for the Anti-Constitutional person he is. Got that?!

Dear Wesley Clark, At first glance you immediatly impressed me, and I think you will make an outstanding president! I was highly (and I mean highly) disapointed that George W. Bush won the ellection in 2000 and I was highly disapointed with his achievements, But now you can make the change! Please become president of the United States, the globe's most powerful and influentional country! I am from the Netherlands my self and I am now living with my American wife, we are going through INS procedures and looking for a job, and I know you will make more jobs available, stop this depression alot of Americans (New and Old) are going through. I know you are a very busy man, but I have 1 question which is important to me, what is your date of birth? I believe Astrology is a very influentional part of the pottentional of a person and what they will acheive in their live time. I also though it is funny that both our names are Wesley and I hope the Wes C. will lead this amazing country. :)

I am very dissatsified with how cowed the Democratic Party has become. It is as if we are back in the Reagan days and being bullied by flag wavers posing as the more patriotic party. I appreciate Howard Dean as a candidate and what little I know of Gen. Clark, I appreciate his entering the race as well. My issues are civil liberties, helping the poor (health care), public education and, most importantly, because it is non-replacable as our sustanence, the condition of our planet. No party that would make cabinet members of John Ashcroft and Gail Norton has a commitment with any of these issues. thanks

General Clark, thank you so much for entering the Presidential race. We all need you. I am a 20 year Navy wife whose husband served on the Admiral's Flagship in the first Gulf war. He was proud to serve and I was proud of him, but we were both against this new Bush "Gulf Adventure". This administration's doctrine of pre-emption goes against everything you or my husband fought for, or that my father fought for in WWII. This man (Bush) has tarnished the image of America in the eyes of the whole world and it's going to take someone like you to undo the damage he's done. I could go on and on about what he and his neo-con advisers have done to this country and, indeed, the entire world, but I'm sure you know, and that's why you want to run for office. America needs a new president, a Democrat, to reverse the insidious influence of the right wing idealogues that have taken over the Republican party, someone with impeccable credentials as a warrior...someone like you.

As a retired military officer, I can see no reason for supporting you. You were a lap dog for Bill Clinton and the liberal left. you are part of the problem, not part of the solution. You were probably a good soldier who knew how to followed orders and keep the litter policed. But your skill set in domestic economics, foreign afairs, illegal immigration, et al is certainly lacking. Bon chance in your vain attempt at becoming a leader. Enjoy your retirement, I suspect it will be long.

Clark looks like a fabulous human being and a good Democrat. However, I'm concerned about supporting someone who has never held a political office. I see it as being very different from holding a military position. I'd love to see Clark be involved in Democratic politics, but would rather see him be second on a ticket, or run for senate. Domestic issues are extremely important, and while I like Clarks positions pretty much across the board, he has no political record. I am interested to see what his effect on the race is.

Dear General Clark, America needs you to lead us in through the risky times we face. I am an honorably discharged US Army Veteran and I have great respect for the service you have given to this country. I think that you will make a great President and you will surely add to the great legacies of generals who have become statesmen. I attended primary leadership development training in the US Army and I will always remember the fundamental tandem that every leader must adhere to: (1) accomplish the mission, and (2) look out for your troops welfare. I am sure that you rose to the stature that you now command because you have adhered to these principles and I hope that you will continue to adhere to these guiding principles when you become Commander and Chief. US Military veterans are some of the best people in the world. We have sacrificed life, limb, and buddy all over the world to end tyranny and oppression. It is not enough to just honor their memory on memorial day and veterans day, we must also honor a commitment to "vetcare" (healthcare and jobs for veterans), so that the hero soldiers and Marines from the sands of Iraq don't become the down trodden and forgotten veterans begging on America's streets. Many veterans come home to a world that can be uninviting even if the flags are waving and the people seem receptive. In many cases some veterans like others turn to drugs to escape the torment. Although, I have not personally turned to drugs, my life was hell after I came home from overseas. I have since been homeless and have had difficulty explaining the gaps in my employment that I attribute to a difficult readjustment to an often unforgiving civilian life. I suffer from concentration difficulties, depression, and PTSD and I have little hope that any of that will ever get better, so I just try to cope in the face of this adversity. Please don't ever forget the veterans like me who whould still do anything for this country. Despite my own personal torments, I have recovered from homelessness with the help of the government and I have recently completed two years of rigorous math and science at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and my GPA through 47 Semester Hours is 3.98. Ultimately, I intend to pursue an MBA and help create good jobs for hard working people. I don't expect a fair shake from corporate America, so I intend to create my own boardroom and help lift up my fellow veterans by providing them with jobs and with an identity. I want to work on your campaign and I hope that I can share my struggle with you so that you can understand the plight of those of us who come from the ranks but aspire for more. Far to many veterans go from fatigues to handouts and "that aint right." You might be wondering what kind of skills I had when I left the US Army and how I became homeless. I had almost two years of electronics and leadership training while I was in the US Army and I completed a BS in Business and Management from the University of Maryland. I was a Distinguished Honor Graduate from the Primary Leadership Development Course. Nevertheless, I was unprepared for the adjustment to civilian life and felt like I lost my identity when I left the ranks. As a Presidential Candidate, I hope that you take the time to listen to stories like mine so that you can appreciate the difficulties people from the ranks have transitioning to the boardrooms. The synecdoche of my case is probably magnified many times by stories of other veterans that face crippling stress when they try to leave the ranks. One of the most disgusting charades I see played out every year is the annual pilgramige of the President to the VFW and American Legion Conventions to tell the ailing vets about how much they will do for vetcare. Please honor the vets with proactive programs to keep vets off drugs, out of jails, and in boardrooms and factories. Thank you for your service.

General Clark, The Presidential Election should be a race among statesmen--leaders, rolemodels, champions of the people--to determine which individual will have the honor to re-route this nation back towards its goals of democracy, justice and prosperity for all within its borders, and its relations around the world. If you don't run, such an election can never be had. I offer you my support and most importantly my vote. Respectfully, Marji Molavi

A million thanks to you (and your wife) for getting into the Democratic race. You are so needed by our country! I've never contributed to campaigns before, but have already made my pledge today. When the new T-shirts, baseball hats and bumper stickers come out, I will also buy them and promote you wherever I go. I know that you can beat George W. Bush in 2004. Once again, I, and everyone I know, are thrilled that you're finally committed in the race. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, In light of the current geopolitical situation, this country needs a leader who can transcend simplistic ideology and tired rhetoric. WE need to move beyond the talk of "Good and Evil." I do believe we need to demonstrate our strength and resolve and project our national will, especially when the protection of this country's citizens and the liberation of "others" from despotism. But, I am both angered and ashamed of the manner in which we have framed our present commitment to the concept of "other." We have, in effect, isolated ourselves in order to engage in the "end justifies the measn" foreign policy. Samuel Johnson said that, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." By this, he did not mean that patriotism, of itself, is a bad thing; but rather, that one should not veil themself with the sentiment of patriotism in order to further one's personal agenda, or in another case, to avoid one's duty. I believe this country needs a man of strength and intellect, the Greek ideal of warrior, scholar, and citizen- I have not given up hope that this man does indeed exist. Not to sound maudlin, I hope, but, I believe that you are such a man. Sir, I retire from the Navy this year after 24 years of service-23 years with the SEAL teams. I just stepped down, after two years, as the Command Master Chief of the Naval Special Warfare Center. I have extensive experience in CT and AT operations- I was assigned to a tier-one unit for 9 years (1984-1993); and, I served in the Middle East for two years as the Command Master Chief of the NSW detachment located in Bahrain. Presently, I teach leadership and ethics to all junior officer SEAL candidates by synthesizing Greek philosophy, Shakespeare, and real-world experience into a two-day course (I have a degree in English Literature from the College of William and Mary) . Sir, I would be honored to support your campaign in any way possible. Please let me know how I can help. Also, I would like to send you a copy of my CV. I truly believe that you are the leader this country needs, now more than ever, and, I look forward to lending my support to your future in politics. The polis is the soul at large. - Plato Very Respectfully, BMCM(SEAL) William "Will" Guild

You know something? You deserve this. You should run around with the 9 other bozo's in this 10 ring circus. What are you thinking of? As you ride through life in your golden chariot, who is wispering in your ear, "Go, General, Go!" (instead of, "This to will pass."?) AND, why are you listening to them? Fade away, General! Fade away! As with your mentor, Ol' Bill (aka "Slick Willie", Monica's Beau, the "World's Greatest Liar", the "Impeached" One, etc.) there's no accounting for stupidity among Oxford's "Rhodes" scholars. Have a great day, but don't turn around and shout "Follow Me!" You'll be heartbroken at the number who actually follow.

America needs a new president. One who is not cowed by litigious blackmailing cults like Scientology or the Moonies who bought W's father. I hope you are willing to do a bit of digging. Taking a stand against the cult would be a popular move according to an honest poll run in Florida recently. It would also be very popular in Europe where France is about to outlaw them, Belgium has charged dozens of them for scams and Germany has been opposing them for years.

Dear Wesley Clark: I am an Air Force Vetrain and did the briefings for Genneral Jones and General Haig at Ramstine AFR in Germany during the Nixion years. I heard you talk on T.V. about creatinng jobs in the U.S. Have you given thought to the idea of closing all the tax write offs to companies that go to other countries for cheaper labor costs. As long as there in the U.S. we give them all the help they need. But if they go over seas, no write offs for there costs in other countries. I'm talking about countries like India, Mexico, Germany. etc. Sincerely Gerald Lambert

America needs a new president. The Democratic party needs two strong and united candidates to beat the current dictator in power. Please consider teaming up with Howard Dean, who appears to be another worthwhile option. I don't care which one of you runs for president (flip a coin). Just be two human beings, who care about our country, the future of our children, and want to take care of the environment, instead of being the usual power hungry, take care of our friends type leader. Here is a chance to give the dissenchanted Republicans a true option showing strength and leadership normally not seen as Democratic party skills. Please help save our country. Sacrifice power and personal desires and do the right thing.

Dear General Clark, We are behind you 100% in your bid to be our next president. There are a couple of things we want you to remember and you MUST not waiver. 1) Do not let the Far Right use intimidation and slime to attack you, your charactor, your past or your military service. They will as they did to John McCain. 2) Grab your balls and shout down this administration's attempts to make you "one of the liberals" running for president. We know you are not a liberal and we are not either. We are what used to be called "moderates". 3) You must bring up the fact that the likes of Bushie the Moron was AWOL for a least a few months while serving in the Guard. That he DID use drugs. That he did take advantage of his father and that Bushie Jr. was NO Business man and took advantage of the weak. 4) Tag this president for what he is, a Liar. He lied about his dealing with Enron and others. He lied about the WMD in Iraq and more. 5) That this administration has used inuendo with the American people to make them "think" Iraq was responsible for 9/11 or that Al Qeada was in Iraq. And not once have they ever denied this. So this is why 70% of the American people believe all of this. 6) Go after our liberites that Ashcroft is taking from us. In other words, General, GO for the Jugular becuase if you don't they will come after you with lies and filth. The far right controls this moron in the White House, they are not people of God. Also don't let them use the excuse that this country has had enough of slime during the Clinton years. You have to remember, "They were the ones who went after President Clinton non stop." They allowed the terrorist to come ashore while they attacked Clinton for BJ lie. They wil do this to you as well. Now they blame Clinton for the mess we are in. We need to get rid of Tom DeLay, Dan Burton and others who are evil, evil men that will stop at nothing to destroy you. President Clinton was the best President this country had for a long long time. He and Hillary knew what the right was doing and they laughed at them. Do the same, use your talent as a soldier, use what the military taught us and fight the enemy on our terms. you are the choice of serveral hundred Vietnam Combat Vets and more to come. You're the one in 2004. Thomas Young & Maureen Tobin PS Choose Hillary as your running mate

Dear President Clark: Please run for president. I hope that you will take up the following cause during your campaign The National Institutes of Health (NIH) requests and receives grant proposals for medical research funding. Thousands are rejected every year because the NIH says that the proposals don't meet their standards. Of the grants that are accepted for funding only thirty percent receive funding. the other seventy percent are rejected only because the government says that they don't have enough money to fund the grants. Only twenty five percent of the National Cancer Institutes approved grants are funded. Please tell us your views on increasing medical research expenditures. Almost every family in the United States has members that have medical problems. It is better to be specific than talk in generalities about this subject. You might want to talk about breast and prostate cancer than about cancer in general. And this could be so about other illnesses. It would make the discussions more personal. The military spends about twice as much money on research and developmnet as the government spends on medical research. I am not saying that the government should spend less on military research and development only that a lot more should be spent for medical research. If only thirty percent of congressional, military or corporation employees were paid what would this do to those institutions. Why should the medical research establishment be different? Supportng more medical research would actually save money as the cost of medical and surgical treatment is high and surging. Medical research can help find cures for diseases and thus cut costs. Surveys by Research America and other organizations show that the great majority of people support increasing the support for medical research. I hope that you will take on this cause. Thank you, Sincerely yours, Alvin Steinberg

However, I certainly do remember you. Sir, I want to thank you for choosing to run. I truly do believe that this country needs your leadership. I wish to offer my help however I can. I would be greatful for the opportunity to work for you here in Texas to secure your leadership for our nation's future. As one of a great many victims of the Bush economy, I cannot offer you any money. However, thanks to George Bush, I have a great deal of free time on my hands, and have for over a year now. I wish to offer you that time and my service however you feel I can best help you bring your platform to the Texas voters. Please have someone contact me to tell me how I can help. Godspeed Sir!

I am a retired attorney. While I am a resident of Chicago, my wife and I spend most of our time in Burlington, Iowa. Unfortunately we will be in Chicago for your speech at the University of iowa on Friday, September 19. I believe your candidacy represents the best opportunity we have in this country to change e dierctions and to unseat Bush. Since Iowa represents an important step in your nomination, I will be glad to help in any way I can. Please have your campaign workers contact me at 319-754-4616.

This man is a poor choice for President. Of the times I have heard him talk all he talked about is the good of the goverment and not the American citizens. He is just another inside goverment employee that doesnt know anything about whats going on outside the goverment.

Dear Gen. Clark The US needs a leader of your standard to restore the world's faith in America. The reckless global strategy of the present administration has made us a threat to other nations. They are a government which draws their polical base on partisanship and propaganda. The country desperately needs a statesman. In 1995 I was working in south Russia for Arthur Andersen while Grosny was being reduced to ruble by Russian military forces. Today, the Putin Government is still entangled in that region and terrorist threats have become deeds several times. The same scenario bodes for the US since our unilateral incursion in Iraq. We need a leader that understands the subtleties of diplomacy and the proper circumstances, application and consequences of force. I am hoping you are that person. Many people are depending upon you if you are.

Dear General Clark, As a Democrat who is rather uninspired by the current candidates, I find your potential run quite intriguing. I am a lawyer in New York City who grew up 20 miles from West Point where my father, a retired Lt. Col in the USAF reserve, still a member of the Officer's Club. I have watched you on CNN and always found your presentations informative and your analysis cogent. I am curious on your stand on some issues that I am unaware if you have yet addressed. 1. Being Jewish, I am quite interested in your level of support for Israel. While I do have serious differences with the hard-line right in Israel, I do believe that it is essential that an absolute commitment to Israel's survival be made in order to win back much of the Jewish vote that has gone over to the Republicans. 2. As a trial lawyer, I am appalled at the Bush Administration's hypocritical calls for the exercise of personal responsibility and then their aggressive efforts to absolve wrongdoers of their reponsibility for damages to others by draconian limits on liability. Framed in this manner, I believe that this is an effective way to counter what promises to be a major campaign issue in the election. I would like to know your thoughts on this issue. With some insight on your stances on the above issues, I will be better able to crystalize my thinking on your candidacy and, as I hope, decide that you are the best hope for the Democratic Party. Very truly yours, D. Carl Lustig, III

It will be very comforting indeed to have a President with courage, skill and common sense; who recognizes that in our global world, you can't go it alone. I am looking forward to sleeping at night knowing you have our back. Thanks for running General.

DEAR GENERAL CLARK, I AM EXCITED TO HEAR YOUR ANOUNCEMENT TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. I WILL TRY AND KEEP THIS SHORT. PLEASE SET UP A WEBSITE THAT ALLOWS AVERAGE AMERICANS TO QUICKLY PLEDGE SMALL AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO YOUR CAMPAIGN. PROMOTE THE SITE BY GOING ON SHOWS LIKE REAL TIME AND THE DAILY SHOW. LET AMERICANS KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO TRY AND GET THE BULK OF YOUR MONEY FROM THE MASSES SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BE AT THE MERCY OF AMERICAN BIG BUSINESS WHEN ELECTED. IF WE COULD GET .5% OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION TO GIVE 10 DOLLARS THAT WOULD BE OVER 10 MILLION DOLLARS. USE THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE INTERNET PROMOTED BY THE MEDIA AND SHOWS THAT CARE ABOUT AVERAGE AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE. YOU COULD BE THE GREATEST PRESIDENT WE'VE HAD IN MANY YEARS. YOUR ETHOS GOES FAR BEYOND ANYTHING THE REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATES CAN CREATE. A GENERAL WITH A BIG HEART THAT BRINGS BACK THE OLD PHRASE, "SPEAK SOFTLY BUT CARRY A BIG STICK." SINCERELY, MARC A.

(Read the bottom part first) America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. I want to add that whether you believe in the war with Iraq or not the military action was decisive and well initiated in the begining. Now we are faced with a dilima; How do we extricate ourselves from Iraq and not leave it crumbling? For that we need a real leader with experience in tactical planning that is aware that every military action has extensive consequences. We need an exit plan and strategy for the People of the US and the People of Iraq as well. That is why you are my choice for president. You seem to have common sence for domestic issues as well, and a respect for the rights of the citizens of America. I will vote for you in the primaries as well as all the way to the top! Thank You Helen Liming 29 year old mother of two and college student.

Dear General Clark, THANK YOU for your decision to run for President of the United States. You are the only candidate I am able to get excited about. I was thrilled to hear the news last night that you are jumping into the foray. I have total confidence in your ability to win. We MUST get George Bush out of the White House and John Ashcroft out of the Justice Department before they can do any more harm to our nation than they already have and certainly will during the last year of their terms in office!

All you have presented on this sit are cute soundbites that draw attention but offer little substance which seem to contradict your background.

-------SOMEONE PLEASE READ THIS-----Since we can still send letters and at the risk of sounding pretentious I guess I'll throw two more cents in. I know everyone has advice but I just want to bring in a typical American household perspective. You have a knack for engaging people with sincerity and articulation. When you're answering the questions that are in your area of expertise (ie. military), educate us. We are hungry for knowledge because the truth has been lost. Be our tutor, put on a seminar so we can feel informed and thereby more secure (even if the news isn't all good it helps to be informed). In other words TEACH don't preach! If you engage us in this manner then you are educating us without dignifying the opponent. Taking control in this way puts all of the focus on your message, and not the oppenent's spin. It will capture us and give us a sense of unity. Finally, on DOMESTIC ISSUES reach into the typical American household and talk about what affects our lives in a daily manner. The typical American household is in credit card debt trouble because lending institutions practically make it impossible to get out. Talk about credit card debt. Talk about healthcare..but also talk about the medical bills we see everyday in the mail and how you feel our pain. Talk about daycare and how tough it is to raise a family with values when all of the focus is on how we are going to pay the bills. I think you get the point. Step into our world General and you will win because while you are empathizing with the American household, other candidates will be too caught up in the generalities of these issues because they are not empathetic, they're just trying to win an election. Good luck.

Dear General Clark, I have not felt this optimistic for our counbtry and for the world in a very long while! I am so excited that you are going to run for President! Even as I respect and admire all of the Democratic candidates, I simply believe that you can bring a whole new excitement and experience that can truly elicit a broad base of the disenfranfchised American populace. I hope that your campaign committee will maximize your vast heroic adventures....After all, what did W. ever really accomplish in his whole life, except to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth and his daddy's PR team? He was missing in 'action' for 18 months---isn't that considered Desertion? General Clark, You have looked death in the face far more times than 99% of the populace. You are our next President of the United States and I and my family will do whatever it takes to get your message out to the people! I called one of my very best friends tonight and she is a loyal Democract, but she had never heard of you....I told her she would be hearing a lot more! I only ask that you integrate as much humor and light heartedness that you can in your public appearances! If you want a headquarters here in Durango, CO., please contact me to head it up! WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN! THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AT THIS MOST CITICAL TIME IN the history of the world. America desperately needs a REAL HERO! Blessings and Warmest Wishes!

General Clark, your candidacy gives me renewed hope where resignation and frustration had been. The misguided economic policies of the Bush administration have directly resulted in my unemployment after many years as a professional educator. The so-called 'no child left behind ' policy ranks as one of the greatest frauds perpetrated by this administration. No mean feat given the plethora of such frauds and shams. Indeed, not only are many children being left behind but the very infrastructure of American education is being eroded behind the hypocracy of Mr. Bush's rhetoric. I want you to know that you have my wholehearted support and ask that you put me to work helping you realize your goal. Before you announced your interest in running, I offered my support to another candidate. It seems, however that his only interest in my support was financial. I recieved many e-mails asking for money but none asking for my labor. I realize that it is an unfortunate reality that money is a necassary evil in our political system. However, if you have the vision and wisdom to see beyond the political consultants and party mechanics, I believe that you will find an untapped source of will and ability within your many supporters. Make no mistake, there are many of us out here. Thank you for your time. Tony Hammons

Dear Gen. Clark, I've written you before -- during the draft-Wesley-Clark phase of your campaign. Now that voters like me have succeeded in drafting you, I want to thank you and your family with all of my heart for your courageous acceptance of our earnest pleas for help. I made a monetary contribution to your campaign this morning after listening to your pre-announcement announcement, but it pales in comparison to the contribution you are making to the Democrats, to the country, and, in fact, to the world. Even though my monetary contribution isn't as great as I would like, I stand ready to "shout" your message (because if Bush is re-elected it will sound more like a primal scream). Again, thank you, thank you. And please pass along a special thank you to your wife, who is also making a sacrifice of her private life for her country. Sincerely, Carol Ellis P.S. - I have two friends in mind to bring along.

Being from Germany and not 'directly' concerned by the U.S. presidency, I would like to let you know, that i would fully support Mr. Clark. I have followed a couple of documentaries in TV, especially during his period here in Europe. I believe, that he is an upright character - a trustworthy man. Arguments he made, appeared logically to me and his positions and attitudes (he kept - and I think, still keeps) are strong and important for the future. I would like to wish Mr. Clark good luck for his candidacy process and whatever comes beyond. J. A. Luzina Elmshorn, Germany

the past 200 years, America was a strong and good friend for all the european coutries, for the whole world. Western Europe owes America 60 Years of peace and freedom, but where would America've been without Europe? The administration Bush kicked this deep friendship with feets. 4 years are too much. General Clark, the world needs men of your courage. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, The world needs a U.S. president who is more than a puppet, a moron and a cronie of the oil industry. We Europeans remember the times when Wilson, Roosevelt, Kennedy and Clinton run the U.S. foreign policy and the Economy. America needs a new president. One who is no illiterate, no moron and no liar, one who defends the Bill of Rights and the ideals the Founding Fathers stood for. General Clark, the world needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I suspect you are another typical Democratic Socialists Clones, but I'm ready to listen to new ideas. What I want to hear is a firm commitment to pulling out of Asia. The war will bleed us dry and in the end all of the Muslims will hate us anyway. Its time for a spending cap on the money and the time linit of our occupation. I'm sure another Sadam or Osama will take over when we are gone, but that is what the people want. We are in a mess and only strong leadership will pull us out. Why wait till our country is bled dry until we decide to leave? I'm ready for a change in Government but will not vote for any of the non commital candidated I've heard so far. Sound off like you got a pair!

General Clark, Our country is in dire need of capable leadership. No civilization has stood the test of time. The Egyptians, Greeks, Romans have all declined and I don't want that to happen to the United States. The current administration has alienated many of our citizens and our foreign allies. A billion dollars a week could be spent on health care and prescription drug plans, in addition to bettering education, and providing for our less fortunate citizens that are living in poverty. We need a leader that is supported and elected by the people, not appointed by the courts. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, I am a seventh grade social studies and language arts teacher at Windham Middle School in Windham, New Hampshire. Some of my classes are about to begin a year long study of current events. Due to the primaries and the upcoming presidential election, I would like to focus on the election process and democracy in general. I am a firm believer in including the outside community in our schools, and I try to make the information we cover as applicable to real life as possible. Is there anyway you could find time to come to our school, meet with our students, and discuss your potential experiences in the presidential race? Also, we would love to hear your position on the many pertinent campaign issues. I realize that your time is very precious and limited and I thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, J. Andrew Bairstow Middle School Teacher

General Clark, As a french man and citizen of the world, I want to support you to run for President. I don't know if any organization in France can help but at least I tell to all the people I know that America can have a new President, able to deal with the complexity of the world, not like George W Bush who makes every issue a question of good and bad. I want to tell you that of course French people love America and American people. We make a huge difference between the people and the administration. From a foreign country, it is hard to understand how your President decided to invade Irak : Bagdad is becoming the new Beyrouth, the situation is getting worse every day in Israel, the talibans are still strong in Afghanistan and Pakistan is said not to be a part of the "axe of evil" but seems to be his very center. This evolution was obvious before the war and your soldiers, the kids of America, are dying everyday only because your administration refused to understand it. No only America needs you to run for President, the whole world does.

I am a registered Republican but I will vote for you as I think you are the most capable candidate. May I offer the following advise: Wall Street controls the political structure. You must strategize on how to garner their support in order to get elected and then you must clean house on the bunch of them. The banking/financial elite are in control and have an unfair advantage and are benefiting at the expense of the vast majority. Use your excellent military tactics to divide and conquer once you use them to get in power. The banking/financial structure is being misused and needs to be brought under control or it will destroy the whole system. Finally, please read the excellent book 'The Creature from Jekyll Island" subtitled: 'A Second Look at the Federal Reserve" by G.Edward Griffin. Thank you and let me know how I can be of further help. Fred A. Greenwood Hebron,ME 207-966-2307

We wish you all the good luck and strong standings which you can possibly enjoy, and we're with you all the way.

One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times, but never afraid to use force if necessary to overcome any and all adversaries. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. One who can work independently from and with big business to shape the policies necessary to revitalize our economy. One who can help restore family values. One who can clearly win the election, not leave so many voters wondering about the numbers. One who is honest and tells it like it is. One who can lead the free world and gain support of our most important allies and reach lasting agreements with the rest of the world. One who won't place our boys in harm's way unless necessary. I am an independent voter, not affiliated with any political party. But I will certainly vote for you. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, I write to you with all the hope and optimism of a great country that has lost her way. There are those that I've overheard say we would "Never have accomplished what we have so far in Iraq if not for the leadership of George W. Bush". And what exactly have we accomplished? Aside from killing thousands of innocent women and children not only in this "Great and noble war" but also in the dozen years of our sanctions against Iraq. How many children needed to die to put Saddam Hussein on the run? Was it worth it? We know that Governor Bush thinks so. We've all seen his posturing and heard his B-movie Western threats. And every day that another one of the boys on our side is sent home in a bag is one more day too many of this man's administration. And no one, even that pillar of wisdom and fairness Donald Rumsfeld can or will make any connection with Iraq and 9/11. The quote below is from a Rumsfeld press conference held just yesterday: By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday he had no reason to believe that Iraq 's Saddam Hussein had a hand in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. "I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that," Rumsfeld said. This is the same spiteful little man that would pin the Hindenburg Disaster on Saddam Hussein if he thought he could get away with it, and even HE says that there's no connection. As far as the "just and fair" tax cut that Governor Bush put upon the American people...let's be honest, shall we? You and I, and everyone else who follows politics at all knows that the only people who see this as a "just and fair" tax cut are down at the yacht club writing out new campaign contributions for their boy, Dubya. Why are the wealthiest of all Americans benefiting far more than the rest of us in this deal? I'll tell you why, because these are the rich white men that drive the Republican Party. They make the decisions, they pull the strings and they put Dick Cheney and the rest of those hawks up there to pull the strings of the Governor. So that we could have all these wonderful little tax breaks, and big new defense contracts so we can go and bomb us some more brown people! Woo hoo! It's time to look forward, to look ahead to the 2004 Campaign or as I like to call it "It's time to actually ELECT someone to be our President this time" 2004. I believe that you are the man that gives the Governor night sweats. I believe that you the type of leader we need in this country, one that sets America as an example to the world and not as a crude joke. I also believe that you a proud Democrat, and one the Governor won't be able to point a finger at and call a "Weak Liberal". Today is the day that you make your announcement as to whether you intend to enter the race, to give us a candidate that can remove the Governor and return legitimacy and true leadership to our great nation. By the time you read this, that announcement will have already been made as I type this from abroad while our great nation sleeps. As an American currently living in Ukraine, I say good morning America. It's time for a new beginning...it's going to be a beautiful day. Thank you Sir, -Christopher McGill

I can think of no more integral time for a successful military man to take the reigns of our presidency. Not to wage war, but to maneuver us safely from the atrocities of it before graver mistakes are made. The behaviours and decisions of our current administration are ethically careless at best and, in my opinion, criminally negligent. We need a president who will stand firm on the ground when facing the issues of our spiraling economy, our destruction of natural resources and the environment, and the encroachment on our civil liberties. You have answered these challenges and issues with humour and sympathy unknown to your political counterparts. Your answers have been real, honest, and too the point, lacking the lengthy answers that only skirt the issue. General Clark, your run for the presidency will be a welcomed relief after the troubles extending from the last presidential election.

General Clark, I am an American Democrat living in South Korea. Our nation needs a leader who knows foreign policy, and will be accountable for his actions. Bush takes the easy way through foreign policy, sending our nation into unilateral wars rather then seeking alliences. Bush is making the same mistakes as the Athenian Senate did in the Peloponnesian War by attacking Syracuse, hopefully you will be more successful than Pericles in setting our nation on the right course. We need you to do more than lead our nation, but to teach a nation dumbed down by Bill O'Reilly and Fox News fear mongers. Our Political feelings seem to be similer and I wish you luck not only against Bush but against the other Democrats. I look forwerd to fighting for your candidacy as soon as I return to the US in 2004.

Dear General Clark, I saw on the media today that you finally made the though decision to run. There are only a handful of persons with the desire and will to do something about our sorry state of affairs. We know that you have always been an honest man, and that, as a true gentleman, your conduct will always proceed from good will and an acute sense of propriety. That you, as a true American, you will never make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man, of his obscurity, or any man, for that matter, of his inferiority or deformity. That, as we stand today, superior in our strength and might, in relation to the rest of the world, we will take a breath of wisdom, stop for a while, and determine how our actions will either construct a path of understanding and proactive cooperation, or will catalyze a worldwide reaction of antagonism and fear. (Just look as Israel) We, the people, are now at a great crossroad. We have to determine, as we have done in the past, if are able to scale our experience and teachings, using a win-win scenario, to the rest of the world; or if our shortsighted actions will make us become a neoroman society, full of itself and of its capability to impose its ideas, and face, in the end, certain collapse. Your tough experience in the desert must have shown you that one is humbled if necessity compels you to humble another human being. That one must die, if necessity obliges you to kill. Your education shows that you will never flatter wealth, cringe before power or boast of your achievements. You, as the great leader who is waiting for his call, must always speak, to us and to the world, with frankness, sincerity and sympathy. As the president of this great country, your deed will follow your word, you will extrapolate our great American know-how to the rest of the world and deliver on a promise to put the opinions, rights and feelings of other, before our priorities. Under your leadership, our great country will appear well in any company, and we will, finally, deliver on our great promise to be worthy of true respect. If you succeed, the United States of America will always be a symbol of a country where honor is sacred, and virtue safe.

General Clark, I am a 20 year old college student who has always held strong ties to the moral qualities that have been allied within the democratic party. I think that every candidate in this upcoming presidential election has something to bring to the table. I was extremely pleased therefore in hearing news of your decision to run and represent our party. There is a reason why you reside high in the polls without even campaigning, the party, especially in this election, is looking for a forerunner; a leader. You have led in the past and I hope will be able to lead the people of this party to victory in '04. After reading your stance on several key issues of importance to me, especially concerning a women's right to choice and the underlying understanding to protect the environment I look forward to hear more from you and would love to pledge my support.

Wes, I have been a Republican for many years now, have been a part of the Republican Party elected officers and have worked on many campaigns. I'm happy to see you in this race and I am willing to work for you within the boundaries of my present working situation. My only real concern is the Clintonistas that appear to be swarming you. The Clinton's themselves have the morality of rattlesnakes in rut and so I do not trust them, unfortuantely. I trust that you do have a higher moral standard and believe you will be good for the country. Please note that I am not a "God and guts" type of Republican. I do not believe in Christian politics nor Ecological politics. They are at the joined ends of the continuum. I do believe in "Classical Liberalism." I am a student of psychology, philosophy and politics. My observations of you lead me to believe you have a commitment to do the "best" you can and that is all anyone should demand of you. I also believe in that. Thanks, Wes, for running. Sincerely yours, SAm Brown America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times.

Please run for president. We need you so very much. Those of us who oppose Bush and his neocon cohorts feel that only you can talk to the public and explain why their policies are failing -- as they are in Irag -- and why their threats of further adventurism are so frightening. I think that the American public may finally listen and not accept the lies re connections between 9/11 and Iraqi threat and WMD, etc., if they hear the truth from you, a military man who has had experience in multilateral support in crises. Again, you may be our best hope for defeating an administration that leads us into war, a declining economy and an undermining of our Constitutional rights.

So Good Luck From a your friend in Italy. Luca Orabona

As an expatriate American I can most certainly see that America needs a new president. One who can face up to the challenges being presented and undertake difficult measures that serve our long-term interests. We need inclusive international engagement and foreign policies that enhance global political stability. We must apply our leadership role in ways that are consistent with our historical values. And domestically, we need to regain and reinforce our constitutional rights to freedom, liberty and justice - for all. We also need someone who can reestablish confidence in our free market economy. It is time to clean up the system. And most certainly we need a moderate, intellegent President who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in order to diminish the volitility of our times. General Clark, the world needs a rational, principled, guiding hand and you appear to fit the bill. If there is anything I can do to assist your campaign effort here in Switzerland please let me know!

Dear General Clark, shure, if Michael Moore supports you, I support you. Here in Germany (old Europe) we are worried what kind of a leading nation the US in the future will be. What are your worldwide goals? Many people over here don't believe George W. Bush's story of who is responsable for the 911 Attacs. What is your opinion on that issue? Thanks for your answer G. A. P.

I know you have already made your decision, but I wanted to write and let you know that although I have only seen you speak on TV a few times, there is something in your demeanor and message that gives me new hope. I had obtained a nursing license in New Zealand and was ready to leave here due to the increasing infringement on personal freedoms by the Bush administration. I figured no one would stand a chance against him and feared what he would do in a second term without any worries about re-election. I now think we have a fighting chance to get rid of the biggest threat to this country we have seen in a long time, and I'm not talking about Hussein or Bin Laden. I think you could win and may be the only candidate who could beat Bush. I also think you just might be the best man for the job and may restore a sense of honor and integrity to the office. And dare I say, a sense of pride and patriotism for those of us so disillusioned by the last three years.

FINALLY! A CANDIDATE WITH GUTS. Howard Dean has guts also, but I have heard him change his plateau a few. It goes with the territory. What's to say you won't change your plateau if you win the election? How can we be sure of this? Bush did, Clinton did, hell all politicians do. There is a famous saying..."The lesser of 2 evils". Anyone but Bush 2004. Even my 75 year old father native to Cuba here in Miami which as you know are predominantly republicans can't stand to see him on TV because he says he can see the Devil in him. Well I am not religious. As for my father, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Mr. Clark I sincerely hope you win and make the changes necessary. Never have I felt so isolated as an american. My parents are Cuban exiles who came to this country with my three oldest siblings in hopes of a better life, freedom of expression, thought and speech. Then 9 months later, here i came. They considered me the gift of freedom. That was 36 years ago. If this administration and it's PATRIOT ACT are allowed to continue...They will have their racist, bigot way with all us non-white, immigrant, american children of immigrants(ME) and the poor. I can't but to make comparisons to the Castro Regime my parents escaped so their children could make a TRUE LIFE for themselves(OURSELVES!) 1-Being searched and singled out of a line simply because we resemble the oh so scary Arab people...(I'M NOT...I AM A CUBAN AMERICAN) 2-Being color coded Adolf Hitler style with the Green, Orange and Red. ...(JEWS RECEIVED BRANDED NUMBERS AND GAYS GOT PINK TRIANGLES) 3-Not allowed to say..."I can't stand this president" (TRY SAYING THAT IN CUBA AND SEE HOW FAST THE NEIGHBORHOOD BLOCK GUARD REPORTS YOU TO THE OFFICIALS, WITHIN MINUTES THEY WILL KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR)... Hasn't happened here yet, but the more silence we exercise, the closer Ashcroft gets to creating his Perverted Vision of America.(ALREADY THEY CAN TAP OUR PHONES...even if they know and they do, we are not criminals...SPY ON INTERNET CONVERSATIONS...a lot of american money wasted spying on children exercising their freedom to view Nickeloden and Disney) 4-Stealing from this country...Via Enron, Stock Market and our reserves to use for their personal gain, parties and god knows what have you...(CASTRO PROMISED A LOT BUT TURNED THE WHOLE COUNTRY INTO A HUGE GHETTO WHERE PROSTITUTION IS RAMPANT ALONG WITH THE BLACK MARKET(AMEICAN MONEY)NOW ANYONE CAN GO AND PAY FOR SEX WITH YOUNG GIRLS AND BOYS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO FOOD TO EAT AND ARE DESPERATE...MAKES ME ANGRY AND SAD!) 5-Complete and utter secrecy of their intentions, whereabouts and dealings...(DO I NEED TO MAKE A CONNECTION?) I don't think I need to go on. But my question to you Mr. Clark is the following? -As a democrat, are you another who shares the admiration for tyrants such as Fidel Castro? John F. Kennedy let our american, cuban and cuban american soldiers die in the Bay of Pigs....you know that story better than I. -Will you be another Clinton and send back a child you know damn well his father knew he was here because he sent him with his mother but then had to lie on international media because Fidel Castro forced him to and never get asylum when touched US soil? (YES WE CUBANS AND CUBAN-AMERICANS ALIKE AGREE THAT A CHILD SHOULD BE WITH THEIR PARENT... FIDEL CASTRO KNOWS HOW THE LAW WORKS...HE NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT ELIAN IF THE MEDIA WOULD NOT HAVE REPORTED THE NEWS...SO HE GOT THE FATHER TO LIE ON CUBAN TELEVISION AND INTERNATIONAL MEDIA BY SAYING THEY STOLE HIS CHILD WHEN HE WAS THE ONE WHOM SENT ELIAN IN THE FIRST PLACE... By the way Mr. Clark...Ever question as to how did Fidel Castro know about Elian's mother dying at sea? He watched it on Satellite TV...sounds OK RIGHT?...WHY DOESN'T THE REST OF THE COUNTRY HAVE ACCESS TO SATELLITE TV...HE DOES..SOUNDS FAIR TO YOU? Sounds a heck of a lot like Bush's Plan....Tax the poor...Save the rich...He can lie, drink, get a DUI...and the country can't! He can know about 9/11 beforehand, use 9/11 to exercise his PATRIOT ACT which was drafted long before 9/11 but he knew would not pass unless FEAR WAS IN THE HEARTS OF AMERICANS. He disgusts me. The first time this MR. BUSH stepped outside of the USA was the European tour after 9/11. How about him asking the president of Brazil..."Is is true you people have Blacks too?" 9/11 humm? THAT'S ANOTHER 1000 PAGES OF MY MIND....I BELIEVE HE KNEW JUST AS HIM AND HIS BROTHER TWISTED THE VOTES AND SET-UP ROAD BLOCKS IN BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS HERE IN FLORIDA SO HE CAN WIN HIS ELECTION.... WHAT A COINCIDENCE...ALL THE HIGHJACKERS OF 9/11 WERE TRAINED IN HIS BROTHERS STATE....MY STATE ALSO...FLORIDA. Don't mean to sound cynical...But I seriously believe he had something to do with 9/11...MILLIONS DO...It's just so many are scared of speaking out loud because of the PATRIOT ACT!! HOW UN-AMERICAN CAN YOU GET!! Go sit annomimous in a bar MR. CLARK AND JUST HERE HOW EVERYONE FEELS THE SAME WAY...YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED. OR MAYBE YOU WON'T....BRING HIM TO JUSTICE. Please don't take my writings of Cuba to indicate that I want you to liberate the country...Only their own can do this...and they should. Just pointing out similarities and there are many more to mention between Bush and a tyrant in the Caribbean whom though I am not under his thumb is the reason I was born in THE HOME OF THE FREE! I want to take the opportunity to say Thank You to all Americans...Young, Old, White, Black, Latino etc...for allowing our Cuban people and people to escape tyrany and enter a country that not only gave us a chance to live a TRUE LIFE but allowed us to blossom, preserve and enhance our heritage.....THE GOOD OL' USA! IF YOU WIN PLEASE HELP HAITIANS RECEIVE THE SAME TREATMENT WE CUBANS DO WHEN TRYING TO ENTER THE USA.... WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE, IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER. HAITIANS ARE OUR BROTHER/SISTER COUNTRY IN THE CARIBBEAN, THEY ARE A GOOD, HONEST AND BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WITH A LOT TO OFFER THE USA ALSO...VISIT WITH HAITIANS AND YOU WILL SEE. The Bush Administration's attack on immigrants is an obomination of our Constitution and what this country stands for....we are all immigrants except for the Native Americans and even they got a raw deal...why shouldn't we? Oh yeah....when you win MR. CLARK...BRING GEORGE W. BUSH AND HIS GOONS TO JUSTICE!!! GO CLARK...YOU HAVE MY VOTE!

Good Day Mr. Clark As a man of honour you must see that america has transformed from a superpower that stabilize the world into an uncertain partner who stumbles into combat and afterwards the Nato and or the UN have to clean up.The results are everytime dead soldiers. I´m sure, if the position of the USA were not so firm before the Iraq war, if a split of the american supreme comando has taken, other european countries would have followed. Not Militäry, because the protests in Germany and Europe were as big as in 1968 but at least in an plan to rebuild this almost destroyed country. There were serveral comments that told the administration wants no international force because in the Balcan conflict on an Nato briefing 12 countries gave twelve different advices. I went almost to the Kosovo, but you were there and may have your own opinion how an Alliance works. Mr. Clark please run for president.

You have eloquently expressed the dissent many Americans have with the way our foreign policy has been run in the last several years. And just as important, yours is a voice all Americans will take seriously. Thanks for putting your neck on the line and running for office. You have my vote....Sincerely, Michael Pisa PS- If you need young, intelligent and politically-concious individuals in the Southern California area to help with the campaign then I would be glad to help.

Mr. Clark, As a citizen of Canada I have no vote to offer you. What I do have are words of support. It's been a long time since I've been excited by a politician, whther Canadian or American. That I agree with you on most issues is a plus, but even if you were on the other end of the moderate spectrum I would still support you as you have done nothing but impress me since I first became aware that you were considering running. A sad fact of being next door to the world's superpower is that American politicians often have more impact on my own country than Canadian ones. For this reason I take a great interest in American politics and for this reason, I offer you my best wishes and luck in your bid to becoming the Democratic candidate and perhaps even the next President of the United States of America.

This country is in trouble. It is being governed by an administration that does not have the capability or desire to represent the people in a fair and honest way. It is an administration of secrecy and deceipt. Our environment is under assault, our freedoms, our history, our place in the global community. We need help, and we need it now! We need leadership that will start to undo the damage that has been done by this misguided administration. Please run for president. You have many willing and anxious supporters.

Not a leader through military domination, but a nation that chooses compasion and teamwork with the world. Please help return America to greatness Mr. Clark, please run for President.

OK, OK, I've been supporting Dean thus far. In fact, I think I was among the early few who, after hearing a speech of his on CSpan early in the winter, became very excited about his candidacy. But, I have to admit, you Sir, bring a VERY appealing alternative to the table. You're smart, you seem compassionate and sincere, you're careful about what you say, and you obviously know a lot about the foreign policy issues that Dean is lacking. (I'd hoped you would run as his VP after I started listening to you.) I don't know your domestic agenda yet, or not much of it anyway, but I'm glad you were against the war in Iraq. I'm going to be following you for the next days and weeks and could very possibly switch my allegiance to you if you continue to make the kind of impression you've made so far. Good luck and good wishes.

Dear General Clark, I hope by the time your committee reads this you will have decided to make it offical that you are going to be our next President. I know that I could go off on our current President's record as a leader, but I am going to try and remain civil and act dignified in my remarks. I can't tell you how important your running for President is to my family. You see my whole family has been in the Armed Forces, at one point or another, going back at least (4) generations. I myself am a member of the VFW, even though my experiences are not even close to yours, however I am proud to say that my family has never hid from its duties when it comes to serving our country, as I write this letter my nephew is getting ready to start his trip home after serving in Iraq, he is a Navy Seabee that was attached to the First Marine Exp. Forces. I must tell you that he has been in my home since he was a teenager, so he is really like one of my own, and as a parent I felt comforted while watching you on CNN durning the war. But I not only worried about my boy but all of the other young and women who were put in a horrible world of fear because Mr. Bush, who has no military experience, wanted to even the score for personal reasons. I must say this if Mr. Bush, would of ever tasted the fear that only someone who has been in a combat zone can feel, maybe just maybe he would not be so willing to throw away the lives of our young people without a plan for winning or an exit plan. So in conclusion I would like to thank you in advance for standing up for the people of this country. When I told my boy that you were thinking about running for President he told me we need someone like you to fix the mess that Bush has made. So for this Veteran and my family I want to wish you God speed on this new chapter in your life. You already have our (5) votes and any money I can afford to give, it won't be much, but if it helps put a man of "Honor" in the White House who is a proven leader it's yours. Sincerely, The Kayler's

Dear Gen. Clark, I am totally committed to your campaign in Texas. I am an american patriot, 12 yrs military, 14 yrs military contractor. I am fully agianst the "Patriot Act", and I firmly believe that the persons that signed the Declaration of Independence were inspired by our god, and that they were the most intelligent persons in the world at that particular time. I am not left nor right, but, the free trade agreement, and the world trade agreements fully dismantle or country and when you take away our manufacturing, in which our patents availed, and pay football players and movie stars top$, then our country no longer tends to compete in the world, but, forgoes its souveriengty. As I have heard all my life that the USA will fall as the Roman Empire, I firmly forecast that if a dramatic change does not occurr, our country will be in peril, especially from career politicians. dont forget, I am a patriot of our country and wish to defend our freedoms and rights. All BS aside, Im from a very Democratic area in South Texas,If you run you will win because of all the velocity becomming. I am all the way a "Wesley Clark", Please advise.........................

Dear General Clark My letter is short, Long before Bill Clinton ran for the office of President I knew one day he would be President of the United States. When I first saw you several years ago I said to myself that one day you should be President. Being an Arkansas native may have something to do with my thoughts. I was right about President Clinton and I know I'll be right about you. I didn't have time to write a real letter with the correct wording but I hope you take this serious. Run for the Office of President of the United States Stay Honest Have a heart for people and don't forget them Don't let anyone push the US around Don't turn away from countries that need help from the U.S Keep your eye on the U.N , France and Germany THE BLACK VOTE IS IMPORTANT, VISIT OUR CHURCHES THE HISPANIC VOTE IS IMPORTANT.

I was very impressed by your appearances on CNN during the recent Iraq war. You are very clear-spoken, and get to the point when it comes to talking about issues. Please continue to be direct and frank so that we all can understand your ideas for this great nation. I am glad to see that you are running as a Democrat. I believe in a strong military, but I also believe that we need to deal with matters here as well. With your role in the past as NATO supreme commander, I would imagine you would value seeking for multilateral solutions and approaches to international problems. It is important for all nations, including our strong nation, to do so in this ever-globalizing Earth. I am a young democrat, and I think a person as yourself would motivate many young voters like myself to get up and vote in your favor. Thank you sir for doing this and I will vote for you come the primaries. Vincent Hernandez

Dear General Clark, I have become fond of emailing you some of my favorite quotations. Therefore, I see no reason not to do so on such an important day for you. There is a small scene in "Gone With The Wind" in front of the Wilkes Plantation before the Civil War is announced at the conclusion of the barbeque. The camera focuses in on a small plaque, that says, "Do Not Squander Time, That Is The Stuff Life Is Made Of". It took years of obscure reseach to finally attribute the line to Benjamin Franklin. You have NOT squandered time, General, and close your ears to any of those pundits on television today who say you have waited too long. I think you have spent most of your life fulfilling that wise philosphy. A dear close friend of mine spent more than ten years working at the Brookings Institution for Larry Korb. She still talks on occasion with Michael O'Hanlon, and answered my email tonight about you. Her response? "I think Wesley is a good guy, unfortunately DC insiders say he has no chance, as he waited too long, and the Republicans running the place now hate him more than some of the guys still left at the Pentagon." (We are both Democrats). But, she did say she should learn more about you, so I forwarded her the recent article published in "Esquire". She responded in three letters. "Wow". I cannot tell you how deeply thrilled I am that you have arrived at the decision you will announce officially tomorrow. Tonight, I therefore took the liberty of forwarding the entire seven page article to about 25 people, even some in Britain and Italy. If I hadn't already been devoted before, it would have assured my commitment, a sentiment expressed by everyone who read it. When you finally reach the position you deserve, invite Tom Junod to your inauguration. He deserves it. (Besides -- us poor struggling writers need to stick together:) With sincere gratitude, Mary Dove

Dear General Clark, The recent news about your intentions to run for the President, must have come as a welcome relief to the millions of Americans who were worried, that President Bush may win the second term by default because of lack of a strong candidate in the democratic line up. General Clark, whatever little I have seen and heard about you has been quite encouraging. You are perhaps the first person to boldly point out "fear factor" which the adminstration has used to sell the Iraqi war to the patriotic Americans who generally trust the incumbent President. Your staight forward approach, your honesty and sincerity is in stark contrast to the spin and outright lies we hear every day on both side of the political spectrum. Americans will go all out to support some one who will clean up the mess in Washington and free our political system from the clutches of the special interests and money bags. General Clark, you have a historic opportunity to significantly change the direction of America and the World for the better. As a member of the 500,000 strong Sikh-American community with strong military, farming and entrepreneurial traditions and committed to the welfare of the entire humanity, I strongly urge you to run for the President of United States of America. America, and more importantly the entire world, needs a man of peace, honesty, truth and "universal vision" to occupy the Oval Office. With best wishes and hoping to see you in the White house. Yours Sincerely GC Singh

Please run for president.

Dear Sir: Ever since I first heard a rumor on CNN that you might run for President I have hoped and prayed you would. I am delighted to hear that tomorrow you will announce that you will. I have spent quite some time overseas and fully understand why the rest of the world is upset with America. This quasi-president who was appointed by his Daddy's Judges has arrogantly squandered the good will sent us after 9-11 and has let good people die on his wild goose chase in Iraq. I have never been in the military but I greatly admire the courage of people like you. I used to work in East Africa and have even been run over by a Cape Buffalo but I have never been shot at. I realize that you know the horrors of war far better than most of us and won't send our young people to die unless absolutely necessary. If we could make friends around the world they wouldn't want to blow us up. When you become President you will have a huge job ahead of you to repair all the terrible damage but most other countries will come back around once they see we have a real President again. Dubya needs to go see the Wizard of Oz to get a brain and a heart and stop using other good people's courage. Now I am a blue collar worker trying to raise a family so my financial assistance will be small but already I have 3 friends (who vote) that didn't vote for Gore because of Clinton's sins and I'll get them back. I know that isn't much but 3 votes in Florida just might be bigger than it sounds. Even as I write this I am praying that God gives you strength and wisdom that you can convey your message to the American people that not only they need you but the world needs you. Thank you for deciding to run and Godspeed! Howard J. Olson

Hello Mr. Clark, I served in the Air Force for 4 years and was stationed at Cervia Air Base in Italy handling the fire protection of the F-15 aircraft during our missions in Kosovo and wanted to let you know that I supported you then and I support you now. I watched your interview with Bill Maher and was impressed. I've never voted before in my life and have never even thought about standing behind a presidential candidate but you inspire me sir to do just that. I wish you all the luck in running and I'll be voting for you. Thank You Ron DeChesero

I believe that you are a strong candidate for the presidency. I am personally a republican, somewhat because of my parents, and the republican stance on the issues that effect me. I have been reading biographies and the news about you, your background and your accomplishments are very honorable and you are the ideal citizen to hold the democratic nomination. Your political ideas are very strong and you aren't afraid to say what you feel. I am currently a first-classman at Culver Military Academy and find your military history extremly impressive. I support your policy and may consider realignment in the upcoming election!!

Sir, I am elated with your decision to run for president of United States of America. I have few questions that also concern most of the American people. There is a new international factor at play that will likely make foreign policy more significant than usual in the 2004 presidential election. It is the explosion of terrorism and the resulting American war against terrorism as a critical part of US foreign policy. With the slaughter of thousands of Americans on US soil on Sept. 11, 2001, national security is now, for most Americans, a major domestic concern. Sir, I would like to know your views on fighting terrorism and also on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Regards, Sam.

The country is turning toward Nazism under Bush and he HAS to go, and you are a man of ability and integrity, with leadership experience. You are a statesman, not a politician, and this country needs you. We would be honored if you would be our President, for at least four years, maybe more? How could we get a sign, a bumper sticker or two, and make a contribution???

General Clark, Hello, and greetings from the Natural State! My name is Lindsey Hueter from Festus, Missouri, but I am currently residing in Batesville, Arkansas because I am a student here at Lyon College. As of now, you are planning to attend and speak at the LyonFest here on campus on the last weekend of October. I know things get a little crazy come closer to the election, but I wanted to let you know that we are all very excited here for you to come speak at our little college in the middle of a beautiful town. I hope you can make it. I am working on an article about you for our school paper and I was wondering if you could give me some first-hand information about yourself. I know everyone would LOVE to hear what you had to say about running, yourself, your history, family, hobbies, etc. I would really appreciate it if you could send me some things. Well, I hope you have a great week. Good luck in everything that you do and my God be with you and bless you in many ways. I'm for you all the way! Sincerely, Lindsey Hueter [email protected] Lyon College, box 1007 2300 Highland Batesville, AR 72501 PS: Thanks again for your time and effort!

I am a Republican who voted for Bush. I believe he is in the pocket of special interests. You will have my full support if: 1)you get Michael Moore's letter off this website. He is a vulgarian and his support of you is repellant. 2)you stop the attempt by insurance companies to cap jury awards under the guise of lowering malpractice rates. (HB4) 3)you agree to balance the budget. (which you appear to do on this site) 4) you sustain America's leadership role in the world. 5) you stay away from a strong association with Bill Clinton. 6) I also understand you are for affirmative action which I can live with, but I cannot support quotas or someone who wants to continue affirmative action indefinitely. Michael Jordan's son should not have an advantage over my son (who is white) in applying to college. 7) if you pledge to avoid raising taxes. 8) you support the jury system and the protection of civil liberties both of which are under assault by the Republican administratrion 9) If you pledge to maintain the integrity of the presidential office. 10) If you support free trade and do not kowtow to the unions on tariffs and instituting trade barriers. You are the brightest light , from what I know about you, in the Democratic field. I am considering supporting you but I need answers to my questions before doing so. I supported Bush in 88, 92, Dole in 96, Bush in 2000. Good luck with your announcement on Wednesday.

What took you so long??!! I have been saying for at LEAST two years that the Democratic Party needed a "dark horse" candidate to get those idiots out of the White House -- and I believe you are "it"! With your educational / military background and your support of womens' rights and Affirmative Action, you can restore and repair the abominable damage done by the current administration. This country needs someone who can - and is willing - to step in and clean up the unconsciencable and willful destruction of this country; the environment, the economy, our standing with the rest of the world. We need you to take the helm and steer us to safe shores. Please run for president.

General Clark, I am thrilled that you have announced your candidacy. I am surprised by what a rush of positive feelings I suddenly have for the future of this country. Here is a point I hope you will consider. The Bush White House insists that terrorism is everyone's #1 concern. There is no doubt in my mind that you are better suited for dealing with that issue. However, if terrorism is NOT our #1 concern, then the Bush White House is spending an awful lot of time and energy misleading and frightening us. In either instance, President Bush is sorely lacking in the leadership and skill that you can offer. Good luck to you!

Dear General Clark, I would like to personally thank you for seeking the presidency. Your entry into the race marks an important moment, not only in the political history of our nation, but as a crucial moment for me on a personal level. This election will mark the first time that I exercise my privilege to vote. I am 45, a veteran of the USAF ('75-'82), and a graduate of Indiana University ('91) with a degree in Philosophy and Psychology. I am currenty receiving social security disability due to a degenerative spinal condition. As a receipient of a benefit with roots in the New Deal, I am greatly concerned with what appears to be an attempt to dismantle the legacy of the Roosevelt administration. I am concerned about the unfunded mandates and special interests that are bankrupting the states. I am also more than a little troubled by our current standing in the world. I have been engaged in a great deal of self-study in history and politcal science and have realized that the elements that control the current administration are cut of the same cloth as those who have sought to undermine, throughout the history of our nation, the liberal democracy that we have established through our Constitution. We must reject current ideology, encourage meaningful debate and return to the vibrancy of that liberal democracy. At this stage of my life I am experiencing an overwhelming call to service. At this time I do not know what form this service will eventually take, but the most basic service that anyone can perform is to express your views and opinions through the opportunity and the great privilege of voting. Please allow me to take this opportunity to pledge my first vote to you. Thank you for your many years of service to our nation and I look forward to the near future when I can call you Mr. President.

Dear General Clark, Thank you for your lifetime of service to our country. Thank you, and your family, for the sacrifices and hardships you've had to endure as you served your country. While we have no right to ask for further service, we really do need you. We need a man who understands international politics and can effectively deal with it. We need someone who won't arbitrarily send America's best, brightest and bravest into a war unless there is a valid reason for it. (If we had spent the money used in war efforts on alternative fuel sources, our young people would be home and the the Middle East would be what it has always been - a gigantic sandbox.)We need a man who can run circles around the D.C. bureaucrats who have corrupted themselves with their political affiliations and liasons. We need someone with integrity and honor. The only person I am aware of who fits that description is you. I would like to thank you for your deligent pursuit of excellence, your history of service and the selfless act you take now to run for President.

Dear General Clark, I am elated to hear that you will be running for President. The challenges that now facing our country are of unprecedented difficulty, thanks in large part to the corruption and ineptness of the current administration. Perhaps this election will be the most pivotal in our nation's history, and I have confidence that you will not only be capable of defeating the well-oiled and well-funded Republican machine, but also will see our country through these times of danger and uncertainty. We are a nation in need of a new vision - of the wise and judicious use of our power, the sharing of sacrifices by all in the war against terror (instead of a President who tells the people to do their share by going shopping), and the creation of opportunities for all Americans to make a decent life for themselves. I'm glad that you will be taking this vital step towards restoring our national honor and dignity by taking the reins away from those who stood by at home and supported the war which caused enormous suffering to their compatriots and whose deepest desire appears to be the looting of the nation's wealth and resources. Sincerely yours, Peter Yoonsuk Paik

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. General Clark, I saw you on "Real Time with Bill Maher" and saw a leader. You want to take America back to our grass roots and to what our forefathers wanted for this country. I believe you to be an honest man sick of special interest groups running this country. We need an honest man who has devoted his life, as you have, to the betterment and safety of our America and who truly believes in democracy. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Hey General (Hopefully President) Clark! My name is Mark Dominguez. I'm 22, from a single parent family (mamas boy), and have grown up climbing from the lower rung of society. While growing up I have matured to see the American Dream is possible, but not always equally obtainable. Also, even though it may be obtainable, it may not always be obtained honorably or even be what the real dream is about. I've had a first row seat seeing my mother slave to raise two young men without child support and without much government aid. She taught me to posses the values of hard work, sacrifice, and most importantly be a man who LOVES God and his neighbor. In this seat I learned that the dream isn't about having three degrees hanging on the wall of my executive corner office with a huge window view. I learned it wasn't about driving my new bmw roadster. I learned it wasn't wining and dining in the hottest new spots in town. I learned it wasn't flying back and forth on my own private jet, sailing around on my personal yacht, or spending my money to collect massive toy and trinkets. In this seat what did I learn the dream was about? I learned that having or doing the above things is not wrong. I learned that the (American) Dream was about more than those things. I have learned that the dream isn’t about lying, cheating, or intimidating to obtain a certain job, prestige, power, wealth, or achievements. I have learned that the dream is about honesty, hard work, sacrifice, determination, love, and helping others, which in turn leads to the above mentioned blessings. I have learned what is important, which is to have the person behind the titles, power, wealth, and achievements to be a woman/man of: honor, love, compassion, selflessness, and someone who passes these traits on to those around them. All of these qualities I can find in my very own home, but not in the leader of America, or the people he has chosen to represent him (which represents us a nation) on most issues. It is with this realization and what was not a coincidence of the announcement of your name mentioned among the people viable to lead this great nation we live in, to again regain integrity amongst ourselves and the world in general that I ask you to run for Leadership of the United States of America in 2004. Sincerely, A Dreamer Mark Dominguez

General Clark, I'm writing because I believe that, more than ever, the United States needs a leader with integrity and intelligence. I see neither in our current president. I'm sick of correcting his grammar to myself. I'm tired of mediocrity. I want a president who can hold himself accountable for his actions, because they were what was best for the country as a whole. I see in you a person of great integrity and intelligence. A leader who won't make me ashamed to be an American. One to hold up as an example to the rest of the world. A leader founded in the principles of this great nation, whose strength of character is a welcome relief. I hope above all hopes that not only am I not wrong about this, but that others see it as well. By now you've made your decision as to whether to run for the 2004 presidency. And I'm above pleading for you to throw your hat into the ring. I'm writing to pledge my support regardless, to let you know that you have a friend in Oregon. Many friends in Oregon. I will work tirelessly to ensure that your road to the White House is a highway upon which there is no stopping. Thank you, Jason Effmann

It is my hope that your decision to run for the Presidency will be an affirmative one. I urge you to campaign vigorously with an agenda which is both sensible and sensitive. The American people are fed up with "politics as usual" -- the name calling, finger-pointing and negative innuendo. Confidence is the missing ingedient; and leadership inspires confidence, especially when it is strong and cogent, and its goals clear and concise. I believe you bring all of this to the table, and the American people are darned hungry for it.

General Clark, I am currently serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal. It takes only a simple conversation with any of my Nepali counterparts to understand the negative way people outside of the US view current American policies. I feel the Bush administration has done a really bad job and at times its difficult to be an American overseas. After reading your profile on the draft wesley clark webpage, I got really excited. General Clark, you can provide millions of Americans with a serious, competitive and respectful alternative to Bush. I encourage you to run for president. I've got six more months of service left in Nepal and when I get home I'd like to campaign for you full time. Thank you, Andrew

Dear General Clark: I left communist Hungary 35 years ago and came to the USA as a political refugee. This country gave me unprecenedted opportunities to pursue a free and prosperous life. I graduated from MIT (Ph.D. in chemistry), established a family in this country and for many years now I have been running my own business as an environmental/engineering consultant. Along with the overwhelming majority of our citizens, the tragic events of September 11, 2001 impacted me deeply. Subsequent events following September 11 made me alarmed however. It is apparent that the current administration uses that tragic event as a pretext to systematically undermine our democratic values. Just to bring up one issue: monitoring libraries regarding who reads what. This is a hauning reminder to me of the communist system I used to live where the authorities blacklisted an entire spectrum of books and monitored, harassed and punished those who dared to read "officially banned" writings (many books of my family's collection were confiscated and eventually destroyed by the secret police). Any restrictions regaring free access to writings is a dangerous step toward curbing freedom of thought! I watched you on TV several times and I was impressed by the substantive approach you articulated regarding the war in Iraq, the Afhgan situation and generally your concept of genuine consensus buliding with other nations to handle our foreign affairs. In these uncertain and troubling times we need you as the next President of the USA to lead our country in a firm, capable, dignified and honest way. Best regards, Zoltan C. Mester

Dear General Clark, Bush and Co. need to go, that much is clear. The present administration is leading the country down a dangerous path of unilateral foreign interventionism while undermining constitutional freedoms at home and mortgaging the future of our children. You are the first candidate I can wholeheartedly endorse. It is not just a question of agreeing with your views on the issues: I don't expect to agree with my political leaders all the time. But I have the utmost confidence that you will approach the enormous challenges this country faces with intelligence, thoughtfulness, honesty, pragmatism, toughness, and compassion. If you declare your candidacy, I will support you and contribute as generously as I can to your campaign. With best wishes, Thomas Dunlap (Registered independent)

General Wesley Clark, Having served in 1996, as your Headquarters Commandant at the U.S. Southern Command in the Republic of Panama, my family and I have extreme confidence in your leadership, your genuine personal touch, and the insight with which you approach issues and concerns. You actually spoke and discussed issues as opposed to dictating and talking down to people, and in the Latin American diplomatic environment appreciated your sincerity. As the Commander-In-Chief at the U.S. Southern Command you sough to build coalitions, cooperation, and stability throughout Central and South America and the respect and admiration for the United States and our Armed Forces has never been higher. I saw you speak at the Student Union Hall of the University of Central Florida and as a retired U.S. Army Major, agreed with your statement that "in victory, America needs to remember its tradition of inclusion, not exclusion, of seeking out and respecting allies, of using military force only as a last resort." General Wesley Clark, please run for President, America needs you and the world needs a strong and respected America. Hector O. Clemente MAJ, Retired U.S. Army Winter Garden, Florida

Dear General Clark, I am very hopeful that you will run for President. I would like to know more about what it was like to run NATO. I understand Dr. Dean the media front runner for the Democratic nomination was governor of Vermont a state with only 600,000 people. Miami has triple that amount. So your experience as commander of NATO would be good to explain to the American public. Some more advis, be consistant with your views and please remember that America is a very diverse country. My partner and I are gay. And hope that you will understand that we have a large group family, friends and co-workers that respect and love us. We have three boys. Our twins graduated from college this summer into a world that is far more troubled from terrorist and an a very slow job market. America needs a new president.

Dear General Clark, I hope the stories I'm hearing are true -- that you're really going to run! You know, as I've said before, I'll gladly vote for anyone who stands even a snowball's chance in hell of unseating the present, illegitimate and unimaginably destructive administration -- but, sir, if YOU actually run, I could not only vote gladly, but with an actual sense of excitement, patriotic pride and historical importance. It's been surreal, watching what's been going on in America since the illegitimate present administration seized power. . . I am nauseated by the spectacle of a smirking, contemptuous, anti-intellectual and spoiled richboy masquerade as a fighter pilot. Even more nauseating, it seems that thus far, ordinary Americans are actually buying the masquerade. YOU are the man who can call this travesty to a screeching halt! You actually ARE, and have been all your life, the man Dubya's handlers would like America to think Dubya is. So use that, General! Please run. I want to vote for you so bad I can taste it.

Dear Mr. Clark, I was considering voting on your behalf but, after reading your standings on people allowed to own assualt weapons this is supposed to be a free country responsible people should be allowed to own these sort of weapons also your stand on immigrants coming into this country is ridiculous I don't know if you are sincere with these standings or this is merely public ass kissing for votes as with your opinion on gays also I don't agree with your views for affirmative action I think this is something that should be eliminated I think we should treat them as they treat americans in there country I think we should put more effort in helping the people of this country sure there are wealthy people like yourself that don't need any assistance but, there are plenty of poor white americans who don't recieve the same help as immigrants therefore I don't think you would be a good president and I will vote against you.

General Clark, this is the first letter I've ever written to a politician. Please do not be fooled by the subject line, as I am not urging you to run for the presidency, but rather to seek out an agreement with former Vermont governor Howard Dean. I'm sure you must get hundreds of these letters every day. Please feel free to ignore and discard this one, if you wish. I have reason to believe mine won't make any difference. But I can guarantee that I'm one of the only disenfranchised teenagers writing to you on this subject...if not THE only one. At age 17, I've witnessed enough heavy-handed and shortsighted military action on the part of the Bush administration to make me into the jaded, cynical individual I am today. General Clark, sometimes I feel ashamed to be an American. That is simply wrong. I should be proud of my country and all it stands for: liberty, justice and equality. I have always admired you and the positions you stand for. That is why I fel you should join with Governor Dean and seek the presidency together, as a team. Governor Dean has the resources, connections and popular support to beat Bush and end the trend of enroaching conservatism that makes the average American liberal's life so difficult. With your military experience, you can help Governor Dean to shed his image of an inexperienced peacenik, someone without firsthand knowledge of war, who would be "soft" on terrorism and not take adequate precautions to keep America safe and free. Dean could only benefit from your political acumen in the field of foreign policy, and his domestic policies parallel yours. You are a hero, General Clark. People admire you. Which is why I ask that you not divide the Democratic vote any more. With the field of candidates so varied as it is, constituents opposed to the Iraq war would be forced to decide between yourself and Governor Dean. I will be old enough to legally vote by the time of the next election. Please don't make me choose between the two Democratic candidates whom I most admire for President of the United States of America. Your essay on America's need for alliances and good relations was one of the most moving and eloquent pieces I've ever read. Now, General Clark, I strongly urge you not to pass up the opportunity to forge the strongest alliance of just and capable leaders that this country will ever have seen. An alliance with Gov. Dean would only strengthen your campaign, and America as a whole. Please, consider my proposal. Thank you for your time. God bless America, Ben C. Johnson (P.S. to everybody at DraftWesleyClark.com: You guys have a great website dedicated to a true American hero. I honestly would like nothing more than to see General Clark holding a position of power in the White House. If you find that my letter is unsuitable to pass along to the General, you are free to dispose of it however you wish. I would like to ask that you consider my words first. Thank you.)

America needs a new president, particularly one who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times and one who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these extremely dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. America needs a new president, particularly one who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times and one who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these extremely dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Absolutely! SO glad to hear you're going to run..my father a staunch conservative West Point graduate--wonderful man but too conservative--we need you to engage people like him to think broadly and wisely, please..we need you to minimize the stature of the current president, who's running on a war ticket..please be the moderate, sane, and intelligent voice of democrats who want to restore our dignity and respect within the international community.. we need an intelligent and thoughtful leader who can be both steadfast and secure in his/her position and yet wise in decision making , Please do run for President. You have the support of both my husband and me, most likely our son, and many of our friends at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Harvard, and elsewhere. Most importantly, I'm hoping you'll impress my parents, career military people..my father's a graduate of West Point January '43--a marvelous, truly exemplary class; small in number and very conservative. I just went to West Point for the first time in many years for my father's 60th reunion and the reunion of a number of other very impressive classes--I was born there--and found the visit extraordinarily inspiring and truly uplifting. We need the true spirit, nobility, balance, and vision that it embodies, and yet we need a liberal social agenda that supports people in grave need both here an overseas. We also need to be responsible about getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan; we need to leave as soon as possible, but with a clear understanding of the damage that we've inflicted upon the people in both countries and an understanding that we cannot defy the international community -- the UN especially-with our extreme, unprecedented arrogance, and expect respect and collaboration from the rest of the world. I lived in Afghanistan for over a year in 1975-76 and know something about the culture. We know very little about the culture and need to understand much more about the world in which we live in general..in particular, for very practical reasons, we need to learn Arabic and Persian (and Dari and Pashto) for starters..we have no business being in that part of the world..please help extricate us in a reasonable and safe way and please help set us on a straight and reasonable course worldwide..Please do run for President..I'll support you tirelessly.

Dear General Clark, I could not agree more that America needs a new president. I'm 60 years old and have voted in every Presidential election since I was of age. My wife and I have been married for 35 years and we have two young daughters, both in college. As the native-born son of immigrants from Eastern Europe who escaped the Holocaust, I love this country with all my heart. But I am greatly troubled by the policies, hubris, and arrogance of our current president and his inner circle. I personally fear our government for the first time in my life. This president and his people, so blinded by their radical ideology and insular view of the world, are leading us down a strange and perilous road, at home and abroad. Please consider running for President. Sincerely, Paul Sanders

Dear General Clark, We fear the current administration's actions both here and abroad; they seem bent on destroying everything that has made America America. We regret their weak response to Third World appeals at Cancun. We are appalled by their rejection of environmental concerns. We are terrified by their embrace of preemptive war, a policy that America has never accepted. Finally, we are disturbed that an administration that barely or perhaps did not win the national election could have plunged us into such extremist policies. We are New Yorkers who experienced 9/l11, and we deeply resent their cynical coopting of this tragedy for their political ends. You are the best hope that we have for restoring our constitutional government. Please run. We will vote for you and help you in any way we can. Sincerely, Richard and Emily Berleth

Sir: Wow! I just heard the news today that you're running for president. Thank you SO much! I so much appreciated your presence on CNN during the initial days of the Iraq war, and I remember thinking then that I wish you would run. Thank you, too, for running as a Democrat. How thrilling! Which brings me to a serious question concerning your presidency. I understand the need for a strong defense, but I worry that a seasoned and accomplished soldier will be too quick (as is our current president) to apply the stick instead of offering the carrot in tenuous and difficult international situations. To me, it seems obvious that we are building up our capabilities and focusing our intentions on fighting according to rules of engagement that applied in previous decades, not necessarily today. How will you adapt the experience and military perspective that you have acquired and refined over your career to meet the unique challenges facing us in a post-9/11 world? Or, to ask it another way, is it possible for a soldier to lead a nation in peace? Sir, I very much believe in your credibilty and sense of honest purpose. I bless your candidacy and consider what work on your behalf I could do. Thank you for being willing to run.

Gen Clark, I'm so pleased that it looks like you're really going to run for president. In these times, it is rare that a candidate can bring such excitment when there is such apathy in politics. You speak your mind, and critics be damned!! I usually am suspicious with military experts, but you are a cut above anyone with your experience, and I really trust you...something that really surprises me, especially since I was in high school during Watergate. You have my full support and my son's also. Hip hip hoorahhhhh!!!

General Clark, Good afternoon. I am a retiree from the US Coast Guard, now living in New Zealand. I am quite excited about your deciding to run for the Democratic Party Presidential nomination. I am a bit concerned about some articles I have been reading, however, and I think it may be prudent that you address these issues, and soon. I refer to allegations made on http://www.zpub.com/un/clark.html I hope that Draft Wesley Clark and your staff can engineer some sort of response to these allegations shortly. I understand much of the "news" written about any candidate is buried in half truths and plain deceit. Please take some time to clear the air! Good luck, and god bless, sir.

Dear Gen Clark: I am hoping you will read this and that you will make all the difference in the future of America. God bless you. Sincerely, Nancy Northrop Published on Tuesday, September 16, 2003 by the Boston Globe Saying 'No!' To The War In Iraq by James Carroll THE CATASTROPHE in Fallujah -- 10 Iraqi policemen killed by US forces acting, as one Iraqi said, "just like Saddam" -- can be the occasion of new recognitions. The normal ecology of war is chaos and confusion. But once in a while something occurs to snap the ambiguities into focus, and the real character of what is happening becomes apparent. Indeed, that is the meaning Aristotle gave to the word "catastrophe" in his analysis of the tragic form. Ten of the very men Iraqi recovery needs most -- dead by the hands of our soldiers? Pro-American police at risk from Americans? A tragedy for sure, but here is what the incident reveals: • This "accident" was not, in fact, an aberration. The killing of allies and of innocents is part and parcel of what the American occupation involves now. Death has overtaken strategy. • Whether the soldiers who killed the Iraqi policemen "intended" the act or not is irrelevant. American pietism excuses dastardly outcomes when they are committed with good intentions, but morality is measured more by consequences than purposes. No US soldier is "innocent" in this enterprise. • But every US soldier in Iraq has been taken hostage. The hostage takers are not the terrorists but the small clique of Bush administration officials who have violated US tradition, international agreements, and the sacred trust that commanders owe their soldiers. • Those who fault the Bush administration for the failed details of this operation (too few troops, poor planning, not enough foreign support, etc.) miss the larger point that there was no "right" way to invade Iraq and there is no "right" way to occupy it. Iraq belongs to Iraqis. • The corruptions of Bush policies in Iraq are infecting the entire nation. Such aggressive violence requires deceit, and lies are more welcome in Washington than at any time since Vietnam. The Justice Department is increasingly an instrument of repression. On the eve of elections, the American people are in the grip of a vast ennui. So what is to be done? Such recognitions change the context of what is required now. Instead of politics, it is time for resistance. One needn't assert a facile moral equivalence to know that the relevant precedents for the present circumstance in the United States are the broad-based citizen resistance movements that mobilized against Hitler in the 1940s; against the Vietnam War in the 1960s; against the Kremlin in the 1980s. This means: • Hope shifts away from the Democratic politicians vying to replace Bush. By timidly giving the vague appearance of opposition while assuming the broad necessity of America's ongoing military presence in Iraq, the candidates are Bush's effective collaborators. • "Supporting the troops" gets redefined. Instead of muting criticism out of fear of undermining military morale, declare that US soldiers have been conscripted into an unnecessary and therefore immoral war. The troops must simply be removed from Iraq. • The cutting edge of the political debate becomes money. All funding for the American occupation, including the $87 billion Bush requested last week, must be opposed. Military appropriations must be cut off. • Patriotism is asserted more by opposition than affirmation. The Bush administration has cagily turned large-hearted American expressions of love for the nation into license for a criminal foreign policy. Just as Bush has kidnapped our young people in uniform, he has captured the flag. For now, the way to take it back is to take it down. • Refuse to be deceived even while being lied to. There is no way for an American president to engage in such an unprecedented act of aggression without trying to disguise its true character. The very audacity of Bush's manipulations stimulate a cooperative self-deception in the population. That above all must be resisted. • Mortal danger becomes apparent. Bush policies have reinvigorated suicide bombers across the world while simultaneously igniting a new round of nuclear proliferation. The prospect of that combination -- nuclear weapons in the hands of suicidal fanatics -- poses the greatest risk in human history. Bush himself has thus become the ultimate suicide bomber. Hence resistance. Public life in America must take its energy now from the word "No!" Such opposition does two things. As happened especially in the Soviet empire, it can transform politics, moving even the Democratic candidates from timid calls for adjustments at the margins to demands for substantial change of policy. And meanwhile, a life lived in resistance remains a human life. In a time of rampant public immorality, it is the only way to live humanly. The catastrophe at Fallujah can be the occasion of such recognition. But catastrophe, as Aristotle also taught, is the occasion of reversal. The time to turn the momentum of Bush's war back upon itself has come. © Copyright 2003 Globe Newspaper Company

Dear General Clark: If elected President and: You repeal the tax cuts, which are still heavily progressive, you will likely see a tremendous decline on Wall Street, which is just starting a recovery from the Clinton Bubble Bust, and very possibly return this economy to a recession as a result. This would also devastate the retirement savings of working people and retirees. You allow gays to serve in the military the next battlefield blood transfusion may come from an undetected HIV positive person. What is your belief in God? How do your secular beliefs, for secular gain, account for your salvation? The recession began under Clinton, in March 2000, and was in full transition before Bush was even in office. Why didn't Clinton take Sudan's offer of OBL which would have saved us from 911 which further aggrevated the recession. This recession is not the President's doing. Untold thousands of manufacturing, forest products, natural resource, and other family wage paying jobs have dissappeared because of legislation passed by Democrats. Your proposals would further this. More manufacturing jobs were lost during the Clinton administration than at any time in history. Why don't you care for the working family? The working families are waking up to this and will be a powerful force. The Democratic party must make a choice between working families and the left. There is no common ground and working families will be voting Republican if these trends continue. These are just a sampling of questions you will see in the coming months. I trust you will see the wisdom of my concerns. Best of wishes.

Even though we belong to different political parties, I believe that you are the man who can solve the problems that America faces both at home and abroad. If you decide to run I know that many more Republicans would cross party lines because of your military background. The key to stealing some of the Republican votes will be to keep your space from former President Clinton. Republicans will vote for you but not if you allow Clinton to campaign for you.

As a Republican who feels President Bush has done a terrible job as president and will not earn my vote,I want to know exactly how you stand on the following issues.Theres a good chance you will earn my vote and many others like me if we like what we hear because there is no one else out there worth voting for on the Democratic or Republican side.how would you punish N.Korea?How would you stop the Billions in foreign aid this country dishes out when americans need the money themselves?How would you stop the insanity spending that has led to a 7 trillion dollar deficit?How would you approach the paestinian-Isreali conflict that America has been unable to solve for 50 years?would you continue to support Israel even though they have shown to most Americans that they don't keep their promises?and what about their development of nukes?how is it they can develop them and Iran,Iraq and anybody else in the middleast we won't allow to?would you finally send in whatever amount of troops it will take to finally root out bin laden and mullah omar and bring these people to justice As Bush has failed to do and instead has created a police state at home?How would you repair our relationships with our allies?How would you show the world once again that America is a friendly Country who desires peace and not war? How would you reinvigorate the Space program so that future generations of Americans will benefit from the technologies of Space and the human desire to expand our civilization to the stars?how would you rebuild our Arab relationships that have been damaged so badly in the last 20 years and get them and the world to once again look up to us?how would you cut wasteful spending and instead concentrate on rebuilding America's infrastructure?how would you repair our once budding post cold war relationship with russia?and last but not least,how would you deal with the lack of affordable medical plans? would you come up with a no frills optional care plan similar to what the military has so A mericans without health insurance can at least see a doctor for free if they can't afford one and get no frills free operations and so on without the ability to sue for malpractice at least they would get very basic but at least medical care if needed????oh, and one more thing,how the heck are you going to solve the incredible problems we have with the bad economy,the overpricing of homes because of the availability of easy credit and low interest rates that will backfire into unpresidented deflation when rates rise again as they will and what will be done about the rediculous price of gasoline and the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs?I could go on and on and on about the terrible things that have happened to America since Bush became President but I really want to know the specifics about where you stand on these issues and how you plan to solve them. thank you........ One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

General I would like to know how to plan to balance the needs of minorities with the rights of the majority. Too often Affirmative Action plans are abused by minority groups and the students who really need the assistance. As a full-time student and a women I have been repeatedly denied assistance because I am white. I had a woman tell me bluntly that if I was black or a single mother I would get the funding regardless of my income level. How is that fair? How is that benefiting the country? I understand that protection of our minorities is important and that everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed, but why not give minorities the upper hand from the start? Funding inner city elementary and middle schools will give those minorities the foundation of education they will need to compete with their middle class and upper class peers. We are trying to refill the tank with more water instead of plugging the whole before we start pooring. I am supportive of all your other platforms and would be happy to support your run for the Presidency, however I would like to see you reanalyze your position on Affirmative Action and look at the bigger picture. It's not about racism it's about doing what's best for this country and our educational system.

I am writing to you to express my happiness that you are vying for the Democratic nomination for the President of the United States. I am a Political Science major, and have followed politics for a solid part of my life. Consequently I have followed you carrier, for some time now, in the context of classes I have taken at Hobart, as well as in my personal love of politics. I am currently not registered for a party, but am in the process of registering for the Democratic Party. I have also always voted a straight Democratic ticket. My interest in your political ambitions has grown in the past year because I am actually very close to your family. I am dating Elissa Salk, the granddaughter of your cousin, Harriet Salk. As I seem to always do, I was discussing your campaign with Dr. and Mrs. Salk during a family function this summer, and they shed some light on some of your policies that I did not completely understand. At this point I effectively became a Wesley Clark supporter, and hoped that you would run for President. Being at Hobart College for almost three and a half years I have learned some basic principals of life. And the one that has changed my perception and approach to life is my duty as a citizen of The United States of America, to partake in politics. Our President, Mark Gearan who was the head of the Peace Corps during the Clinton administration, has made it his goal to get the Hobart students involved in helping everyone from our local community, to our national community, to our global community, first through understanding and second through exercising our civic duty. Therefore I would like to pledge my help to your campaign. I have read your books and articles about you, I have heard your ideology on the radio and television, and most importantly know and love you family very much. Therefore I think that your approach to help the American people move toward a better world is the right one. Your views on National Security and diplomacy are unmatched, and you are a fresh and non-manipulated face in the domestic policy front. In saying this I am pledging my support for your campaign. Since I am currently a college student I cannot pledge a large monetary fund to your campaign, just yet, but I would like to offer my help in organizing and get the word out. I am in a unique situation at Hobart College, where we have a large young registered voter population who dislike the policies of our current President, but do not know what to do. They are intimidated by the political process, and confused with the current Democratic parties situation. Thus, I would like to help in whatever way I possible can. I think that you are honestly the right man for the job in our current world and national situation, and would like to help you obtain your goal of the office of the President. You integrity and strength have been vouched for by my second family, the Salks, and you do not only have my vote, but I also put my vast resources on my table. Again I want to express my happiness of your run for the President, good luck. Keith

Dear General Clark: I was so excited to hear that you were running for President today. All I can say is: Thank you - Thank you - Thank you! I live in Minnesota, but recently purchased a home in Arkansas. I can hardly wait to move, but have to stay here until my home sells (thanks to Bush's economics plan). While I am waiting, I will do everything I can to influence the Minnesotan's that I know to get behind your campaign. We are the home of the late and beloved Paul Wellstone, who opposed the war in Iraq (based on the deceptions that we were given), and supported the election of Jessie Ventura. The way that I became hooked on you for President was when you described your vision of 50 years down the road. I am sick and tired of short-term thinkers for the sake of getting elected. We need leaders that can project into the future, so that we don't have to continually live in a knee-jerk response mode. I really believe that the American public is ready to hear that kind of message. Stick to that message and America will follow you. As humble of a man as you appear to be, I don't think you have any idea of how appealing your message is resonating in the general population. If any advisor comes along, attempting to turn you into a plastic politician, tell them to take a hike. You are where you are, right now, because you have been real and people love to see real. This country is full of good and generous people, but we're sick and tired of an administration that plays on our compassion to meet their own greedy agenda. I don't want to see our good intentions contaminated by an elitist group playing on our emotions. I am not going to get into details, but I can tell you that if you stick to this theme, you will not only win, you will win by a landslide. There will not only be singing in the streets of America, there will be singing around the world when you become President. I can almost hear it now! God's speed and YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Dear General Clark, Aside from John McCain, who unfortunately is not running, you are the only candidate from either party that I actually could feel proud to vote for. Stay away from Kerry and Dean when you think about a running mate - Personally I like them both but they will bring you down in the South. Look to someone in the Clinton-mold (like Edwards) instead. THANK YOU for running! T.Weber Kansas City, MO

We need someone not afraid to stand up for millions of Americans--the "little men and women" who have just stopped voting over the years, convinced that their lives matter much less to candidates than corporate campaign donations. Please run for president: let's put some dignity and real compassionin the White House, and that will do more to win friends abroad than goose chases for terrorists which kill our troops and civilians abroad.

I am excitedly looking forward to your run for the presidency. I really think you can do it! America needs a new president. One who can seriously challenge Georgw W. Bush and make him a one term president. Someone who is new and different from the usual politicians we have running now. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation and seriously fight the right wing in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Thank you for declaring your candidacy. All of my Democratic friends and I are excited and enthusiastic about your decision to run. You are the ONLY one with a chance to defeat Governor Bush in '04. The appointed president, his vice-president, his cabinet and his appointees have been devastating to our civil liberties, our economy, our environment, and our foreign relations. We have confidence that you have the ability to rehabilitate this country from the assaults it has suffered in the last 3 years. Good luck!!!!!!!!

Dear General Clark: Like many other people, I am not sure yet whether I will vote for you. But I believe that the 2004 election will be one of the most important in our history. We need someone who can defeat Bush. You may be that person. In that regard, I have a suggestion. A vice-Presidential candidate who really understands money matters would be a great asset in your campaign. Would you consider someone like Paul Krugman? I have never heard him speak, but I have read many of his columns and he has the ability to explain economics in a way so that ordinary folks (like myself) can understand him. Just a thought. Congratulations on your decision to enter the Presidential race. And thank you.

I want a president who is smart: first in his class (as opposed to the our current unelected president who was proud of his Gentleman's Cs). I want someone who is articulate instead of our current malapropist. I want someone who cares for all Americans, not just the rich and powerful. I want someone who is thoughtful, can make good decisions, and won't lie to the American public. I want someone who really does understand war, not someone who dons a flight suit for media attention but was AWOL during his time of real military obligation. I want someone who can defeat Bush (who is on his way to ruining this country). Although I am a liberal Democrat I will vote for you because I think you are the man who can do it. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I am a US Coast Guard retiree residing in New Zealand. I have been quite concerned about the current administration and the direction embarked by the USA. The world distrusts President Bush and by default, America. I am thrilled that you have decided to enter the race. I am unable to vote in any primary, seeing as I am a permanent resident of NZ. However, as a US citizen, I will be able to vote in the General election, and if you are the candidate... you will have my vote. Best wishes and good hunting!

General Clark, The current "Moron-in-Chief" is an insult to thinking men and women nationwide, and an embarassment to our country. You can restore genuine respect for the office. As the son of a retired Army Air Corps/Air Force general officer, I know you are a man who can be trusted with the responsibilities of the office of President of the United States. I pledge to you my full support for your election in November 2004 --- I will work tirelessly for your campaign. I have read your policy positions, and believe you are the most reasonable person among all possible Democratic candidates. I stand with you on all issues. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, I'm excited about your candidacy. I've been supporting Howard Dean but will be paying very close attention to your campaign. I've liked what I've seen of you so far. I'm very concerned, however, about rumours that you are taking on Chris Lehane as a consultant to your campaign. He has a reputation for sinking pretty low and seeking to destroy rival candidates. I truly believe Bush is beatable in 2004, but now is the time for Democrats to stay focused on beating Bush and not attacking eachother. Please keep your campaign clean and issues-focused. Thanks -Erik Nelson Castro Valley, CA

Ellen and Leonard Zablow 5610 Post Road Bronx, N.Y. 10471 Sep 5, 2003 Dear People, We think it is very important to make a regime change in America now, but we want to be sure we have a true alternative and not just rhetoric to produce a facade. Therefore, We want to convey some of our deep concerns. We need a leadership and government that doesn't steal elections in the first place, and is honest and open with ordinary American people and others, and which cares about ordinary people, Americans and others, and is completely independent of big corporations. Our war on Iraq is based on the lies that Iraq was (a) linked to Al Queda and Osama Bin Laden, (presumed responsible for the horrific criminal attack on the Twin Towers in New York on 9/11/01), and (b) it possessed biological, chemical and nuclear weapons of mass destruction which it was ready to launch on the U.S. in a short time. To date, there is no such evidence for either assumption. Why did our "leaders" remove pages from the report Hans Blix obtained from Iraq before it was given to the UN? Was that move related to the fact that in the1980's, at least 20 American companies were involved in selling chemicals and weapons to Sadaam Hussein for a profit? And why didn't leading figures like Mr. Gephardt or Mr. Daschle raise questions persistently about that? Why instead, did the Democratic Party go along with such a policy? And why didn't the Democratic Party call early on, for a search into this administration's relationship to the Bin Laden family and any connections with the 9/11 event? Why didn't the Democratic Party stand up for brave Cynthia McKinney from Georgia who called for an investigation into 9/11? One brave congress woman, Barbara Lee had the guts to say no to war in Afghanistan In the beginning! Later, only 1/3 of the House Democrats and approximately 1/10 of the Democratic senators had the courage to vote against invasion of Iraq. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Schumer and Mr. Engel did a lot of handwringing but voted for war! There needs to be a more thorough investigation of the causes of terrorism and of why we went to war and whether, indeed, that war makes us safer. It needs to be carried out by independent, trustworthy people. Will Democrats be strong on this or will they call such a position not centrist enough? Of course, after 9\11, we were told that we must wage war on terrorism for at least the next 10 years! So fear and anxiety were played on to go first to Afghanistan, and then to Iraq and next..? Iran, North Korea, Syria, and ...? And on March 17, 2003, Mr. Bush warned the Iraqis not to harm the oil wells! And as of Aug.28, 2003 we learn that Halliburton, against which no bids were allowed, is siphoning1.7 billion dollars from the oil wells, and from subsidiary activities related to maintaining the armed forces. Meanwhile, the price of oil at home is soaring and so is unemployment! How much of a persistent, meaningful, fight is the Democratic Party mounting on this situation? Immediately after 9/11 we were put on several alerts and told to shut up any criticisms or questions we had. Anyone who didn't would be considered a possible terrorist. We could lose our citizenship, perhaps be seized and detained indefinitely like the more than a thousand foreign suspects! Our homes could be searched without our knowledge, and without warrants! And if we protested national policies in the streets we could be penned in on the streets, attacked by police with mace or on horseback, abused, arrested and questioned about our political beliefs and associations. And Congress was pushed by the administration to enact the totally unAmerican, Patriot Act! Congress people did not even have a chance to read or understand the implications of this abridgement of basic civil liberties for which this country is known! Why didn't the majority of Democratic members of congress stand with Senator Russ Feingold when he opposed this frightening, totalitarian measure? Why did the Democratic Party including Mr. Gebhardt and Mr. Daschle cave into the Bush -Cheney-Ashcroft assault on the Constitution? Mr. Gebhardt and Mr. Schumer were indeed contributers to the contents ! Will the Democratic Party platform include a strong effort to repeal the unpatriotic Patriot Act? While democracy is being curtailed for us, we cannot believe it is being brought to Afghanistan or Iraq as the current administration claims. Every day more young Americans and others are killed. Why doesn't the Democratic Party call for supporting the troops by bringing them home now? If going to the war in Iraq was illegitimate in the first place, sending more troops or asking for the presence of a U.N. force controlled by the U.S.will not legitimize what looks like an imperial occupation! How does getting mired in Iraq serve us, the Iraqis, or the world? While we are spending maybe $4 billion a month on this insane war, our economy sports 3,000,000 or more unemployed, and the "defense" industry, run by big corporations, reportedly is responsible for a national growth of rate of 3%. It seems the war business is the only kind that has been given a stimulus, despite the promise that the $1.3 trillion tax cut over 10 years, mostly for the benefit of big business, would stimulate the entire economy. In fact, this tax rebate has helped to make the cities and states of this great, rich country, very poor. As a result, public services and programs related to education, medical care, welfare, housing, sanitation and the like, have been cut or even dismantled, causing great hardship and discomfort and more lay-offs or, certainly, no new hiring! Why did the Democratic Party, as a whole, support such measures and will it now mount a strong campaign to reverse these cuts? From a reasonable surplus in the 90's, we now have a national deficit of 500 billion dollars with more to follow! The greedy Enrons that lie about their dealings and cheat their employees, need to be closely watched, strongly reigned in, or be banished! Where was Democratic Party's strong call for open investigation, exposure of these activities, and prosecution of all the culprits? Why did the Democratic Party encourage and support Mr. Clinton's call for the establishment of GATT, and NAFTA? These treaties allow rogue companies to lord it over other countries, exploit them for their resources, and use their people as sources of cheap labor. Our government often supports undemocratic regimes that get paid off to do the bidding of these corporate entities. No wonder many people over the world regard the U.S with fear and loathing. They resent having to borrow money for their country to survive and then pay the debt forever. They also resent not being able to develop and use their resources for themselves, and witness too often careless destruction of their environment by U.S corporations without adequate compensation! Why doesn't the Democratic Party inform the public and get help to oppose such activities? That in this richest country with the most highly developed technology in the world over 41,000,000 people have no health insurance, currently, is untenable! With progressive taxation whereby the wealthiest pay at a significantly higher rate than the poorest, at least we can provide the public services we need, including a universal single-payer health insurance plan for every man, woman, and child; a plan that provides medical care as well as needed drugs, from the cradle to the grave, and that is at the state of the art and science. Why did the Democratic Party in the last administration cave in to the pressures of the big insurance companies when there was an opportunity to win such a program for our citizens? Will the Democratic Party adopt this program that 80% of Americans want and need? The two most successful public programs to date are Medicare and Social Security because taxes have been used wisely to support them. They must not be privatized! How is the Democratic Party addressing these issues to ensure these funds remain untouched and unprivatized? The environment must be people - friendly, with safe, clean air and water,the latter publicly owned. Public lands in the national, state and city parks and wilderness areas must not be stolen, exploited or abused by any idividual or greedy corporate entity. Will the Democratic Party platform and actions ensure that they are carefully monitored to keep them public, cherished and cared for by an uncorrupt environmental department dedicated to their preservation? . We must not drill for oil in the pristine preserves of Alaska. Our energy sources must include more emphasis on alternatives like biomass, wind, solar, and water power. We must not tolerate a "leader" who removes 28 pages of a scientific report that implicates how the U.S. contributes hugely to global warming and rejects participation in conferences, as at Kyoto, to solve global environmental problems. How will the Democratic Party challenge this constant effort of the current administration to fool Americans into believing it's O.K. for our country not to be accountable? We need to have publicly owned media, in the business of providing us with accurate, factual, uncensored information, under neither government nor corporate control if we are to have an intelligent, informed citizenship. The FCC must be in operation to see that the airwaves and newspapers operate in the interest of ordinary people, not the current owners like Ruppert Murdock. How will The Democratic Party continue the fight for the right of Americans to know the truth of events? And finally, we need to make sure we have voting machines that are also free and independent of corporate control. We must make sure of getting receipts for any vote we make on computers, so there is no question of whom we voted for or how many times we voted. In the 2000 election, you gave up before Florida's full count was in. 97,000 people were disenfranchised, 94,000 were not not felons and lost their right to vote. How will the Democratic Party prevent another fraudulent "election"? If the Democratic Party expects Americans to support it in the next presidential election, it had better be positive and stand up for the little people of this country and not take "centrist" positions, which always seem to bow to the "right" who are really wrong! Sincerely yours, Ellen and Leonard Zablow

To whom it may concern: I was pleased to see sources close to Wesley Clark saying to news organizations that he will be entering the Presidential race. Until recently, I did not believe a Democratic candidate had emerged to beat George Bush. But from the time I saw General Clark's interview on Meet the Press, I have been reading as much as I can about him and feel General Clark is the man our country needs to get us through these troubled times we now face. While I must admit I am a registered Republican and did vote for George Bush, I am near embarrassment with our President and our lack of diplomacy and common sense that this current government is putting forth both domestically and abroad. Therefore, while I have never participated on a campaign for government office, I am enthusiastically volunteering my services to Wesley Clark's campaign and request information on what you would need from me to become a volunteer. Thank you for your time and if possible, please forward my gratitude to General Clark for the sacrifices he is about to make. Best Regards, David J. Luebke Denver, CO

GEN Clark thanks for running for President. I had the pleasure of meeting you, briefly, while I was a soldier serving in TECOM at Yuma Proving Ground, AZ. It was the AUSA symposium in 1998. I was just a SPC at the time so I was tasked to drive you and members of your staff. It was a great pleasure and I still have the pen that you gave me. I am glad that you have decided to run for the top office and hope that you will take great strides at undoing all the unconstitutional laws that have been passed in the name of security. I hope as a soldier you still believe in the oath that all soldiers take to uphold the Constitution. Thanks for running, Charles Wesley Dixon (former US Army SGT)

I am excited about your entry into the campaign and am considering supporting you. I've been in Dean's camp for a few months. If you want my support, do not allow Fabiani (and Lehane if he joins your team) to engage in attacks meant to tear down other Democratic candidates personally or politically. If your team attacks Dean or any other candidate the way they attacked Bradley, I'm switching back to Dean. If they play nice, I'm in your camp. Please understand and allow me to be very clear about this. Keep your honor, keep your dignity and most of all... keep it clean.

As a retired USAF Officer I encourage Wesley Clark not to run for President. Among my military peers we have taken an unofficial poll and the consensus is that he should not run for President. While I was in the military he was known as a "loose cannon". He is definitely not a Dwight Eisenhower. I don't know what he game is maybe he wants to be Vice President. So far I have heard nothing that would change my opinion.

Hi, General Clark! I can't TELL you the flood of relief I felt when I heard you speaking to Judy Woodward today on CNN! ALL indications are that you ARE actually going to declare your candidacy tomorrow for the Presidency of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! I've scarcely been able to breathe for the past week, waiting for you to announce. Whew! THANK YOU, SIR! I am hearing that President Clinton & Al Gore are with you in this, & I can't express my joy! How can I help? Unfortunately, I have little money, but I DO have time, can handle a computer, & as you can see, I am blabby...so just have your people point me in the right direction, & tell me what you want me to do. FYI, I am a retired R.N., with organizational experience & work well with people. I was co-founder & director of the first free-standing Hospice Home Care Program in CA, the second in the country. I was a 'front-line, hands-on' R.N for over 36 years. From all I have seen, read & heard of you, you are the hope for being able to turn our great country around, & to get us out of this catastrophic mess the current Administration has created. Please allow me to offer my services, whatever I can do to help. I believe in you. I want to work for you. I know this campaign won't be easy, but am willing to work hard. My kids are grown; & my only responsibility is my best bud, 'Jordan', my 150 lb long-haired German Shephard who believes he is a 'people.' So, Jordan & I are volunteering to help you win this election. Sincerely, Peggy Wenner Carmel, CA

This is exciting news. Finally, a military person who admits to being a DEMOCRAT is going to challenge the war mentality! What arguments are the conservatives going to use now to nay-say this challenger? It won't be his lack of military service, that's for sure! So far, the Democratic candidates have been a big yawn. Not Wesley Clark. I'm very interested in what he stands for, and will look forward to hearing more about what he has to say about the issues. One word of advice: I just checked, and the domain name, "wesleyclarkforpresident.com" has not been taken. I advise you to latch on to it immediately. Good luck!

I am a stong Howard Dean supporter, but would swith my allegiance to your campaign. While I like Dr. Dean's "Anti-Bush" stance, I feel that a man who has proven himself in the military with four-stars has both the abilities to lead and protect. Maybe Dean should be your Vice-President.

I support you now and I am excited about your entry into the campaign. If you want my continued support, do not allow Fabiani (and Lehane if he joins your team) to engage in attacks meant to tear down other Democratic candidates personally or politically. If your team attacks Dean or any other candidate the way they attacked Bradley, I'm switching back to Dean. If they play nice, I'm in your camp. Please understand and allow me to be very clear about this. Keep your honor, keep your dignity and most of all... keep it clean.

I find it quite amusing that Wesley wants to be the big boss. I find it more amusing that he thinks he can become our Commander In Chief. This idea is hilarious. Does this bozo really think that the Clinton’s will support him? Hilary wants to be president in 2008 so she damn sure does not want a democrat in the oval office in 2004 looking for reelection. I remember Wesley giving all those erroneous comments in the Iraqi conflict and if my history is correct Bill fired him because he was a grandstander. Wesley likes the cameras. Hey, don’t get me wrong I would love to see a Dean & Clark ticket (hell that even sounds good}. That would ensure that G. W. will be reelected as our true COMMANDER IN CHIEF. BUSH IN 2004

General Clark, From an anonymous but informed American, please run for President. All of the people that I know, who are not rich, are struggling and watching all their pennies. We are also concerned about the carte blanche granting to illegal aliens the ability to drive a car or open a bank account or be eligible for benefits, and not being citizens of this country. It seems to get the best benefits from our country you need not be born here. General Clark, Please run for President and help us. Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Since the day George W. Bush was elected this country has been failing in every respect. It is flabbergasting how quickly he was able to destroy almost everything that Bill Clinton had accomplished. I look back at when Clinton was president and I can't believe how awesome this country once was compared to what it has become. Every day it gets worse and I am frightened for our future. It is absolutely crucial that a democrat be elected president and until now I didn't think that any of those running stood a chance. I really think that you can do it. What I am looking for is someone who can fix our foreign policies and get back to focusing on the US. I would like to stop sending hundreds of billions of dollars overseas and start spending it on our roads, schools, utilities, etc... It seems that Bush has completely forgotten that he is the president of United States of America, not Iraq. How fantastic would it have been if he had asked for $87 billion dollars to rebuild America? General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president and make America the great country that it was four years ago.

At first glance, you might well get my vote. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Thank you General Clark for getting into the 2004 race. Out here, we desperately need someone who can give Americans like me some hope. And none of the present candidates suffice - they just don't have it, and they committed the inpardonable sin of kissing Bush's feet and giving him whatever he wanted at the expense of average Americans. I want someone who the world looks up to, who can salvage our tattered image, who understands that our young troops are not "cannon fodder" for the oil companies and who has the brains to learn what he doesn't yet know and the courage to admit it. So, thank you, thank you, thank God! Sally Simms Solon, Ohio PS: I'll send a contribution as soon as I can.

Most importantly, though, we now have a candidate that can dethrone King George and restore democracy in America. I celebrate your candidacy and wish you the best of luck!

If anyone criticizes you re a lack of experience in domestic policy and civil rights, I have the answer: As a General you were responsible for the health, education, welfare, employment and justice systems for all those in your command. The Army takes care of its own. It could even be called a social welfare system within the context of how the Army operates on behalf of its members and their families. And the Army is very progressive re race relations. So you have essentially been in charge of justice, health, housing and education policies for millions of people over the years!!

General Clark, I have long been a supporter of yours. In fact, I wrote your name into the Move-On ballot earlier this spring. I was relieved to hear that you announced that you are a Democrat and considering running for president. I believe strongly in you and your candidacy, should you choose to run. And I will do everything in my power to help you succeed. America needs a new vision. A vision of strength, accompanied by compassion and fairness for all Americans. A vision of a world that is free from tyranny and self-rightiousness. I believe (and have believed for more than a year) that you are the one candidate that can take on the bullies currently residing in the White House. They need to be challenged and shown the errors in their thinking. And, from my perspective, you are the only candidate that can take them on. Head on. Please make an incredible sacrifice for the good of your nation and the world. Please run for president. I wish you the best, Brooke Kenney

Dear Sir, Today I was very pleasantly surprised to hear that you will be running for President. Finally the USA put a person forward with significant international knowledge and credentials. This has been a very serious shortcoming of the current President and has significantly and even dangerously hampered international cooperation and understanding between the various powers to be. I cannot say anything about the internal affairs of the USA since I am not a US resident nor a citizen. I am however a person agitated by the very poor and senseless foreign policy of the USA of the past few years. However little it might mean anything to you: you have my full blessing and support!

Thank you General Clark. You are like a gift from the Heavens and the candidate we were always promised growing up in the United States. The negative shots have already started which makes it clear the old guard is worried that their hand picked boy is in trouble. The last Presidential election was historic and I think the next one will be too! Answer the questions and tell people what you really think; the voters are not going to agree with you on every issue. That is impossible. But if you are forthright people will give you a break and vote for you anyway because they know we simply can't afford another term of the current bunch. Thank you again for putting yourself on the hot seat. I will do what I can to support you.

General, Thank you very much for taking on this task. I am certain that you will become one of the greatest leaders our nation has ever had. You have my vote and my support. Now that you've entered the race, let me tell you what I want my president to do. 1.) Replace the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY with a new federal department - the DEPARTMENT OF GLOBAL SUSTAINABILTY. The primary objective of this department would be to provide for and to sustain our earth's natural environment and to promote and sustain peaceful co-existence among nations for current and future human generations. The primary means towards these objectives would be to develop and implement sustainable and renewable energy and to initiate and implement the COMPREHESIVE ELIMINATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS from our earth. The department would oversee the departments of energy, transportation, agriculture, interior, commerce, and state, and work closely with international organizations to lead the global community towards sustainabilty and peace. Is this asking too much, President Clark? Let me know.

Dear Sir: There is no doubt the United States faces inumerable leadership challenges both nationally and internationally. With great power comes great responsiblity. We can and must begin to provide a staunch and ethical standard for other nations to follow. In doing so we must realize war is the solution of last resort. Yet we must accept the responsibilities which come with maintaining the strongest and most effective military presence on the planet. It is time honorable men of stature accept the reins of power and harness all our forces for positive global changes. I sir am an expatriot who has spent 30 years out of this country after resisting the war in Viet Nam. I have stood alone at times isolated never forsaking my nation. I have fought with great pride for the freedoms and liberties ingrained in my being. I am an idealist at heart but yet am experienced enough to be a realist in life. The time for change is now. I wish you well as you attempt to find light within the darkness and provide the vision which has been so sorely lacking. The truth is "your country needs you". Good Luck and God Bless. Sincerely; L.M. Hayes

Dear General Clark, This is probably not the time or place, but I have tried everything else and what better place to go when you are out of ideas and money than to the top. I have met you personally along with my two daughters Jessica and Vanessa Heim at many family picnics through the years of being a military wife. My ex-husband SFC Dennis A. Heim(ret) has worked with and respected you for many years. We were married for over 24 years. The last I had heard -he is now working for the PA National Gaurd and to get to the point - owes me over $60,000.00 of which I can easily prove. He has refused to pay much less live up to any of his finacial or moral obligations of which he signed in front of not only my lawyer -but his also. He now has a warrent out for his arrest due to his lack of responsibility. Please help or guide me to someone whom can. Thank-you Diane

Hey General it's me again. I think this is my sixth letter to you. I just want you to know that I'm looking forward to hearing your announcement tomorrow that you'll run for president. I would also like to add that as a candidate, you must be aware of those who want to steal our democracy from us with the illusion of "free" elections. I'm not sure if you are aware of blackboxvoting.org, but I thought everyone might be interested in how our next presidential election may be stolen from us. I also see the problems with "touch screen" voting machines that don't provide a paper trail. The hanging chad might have caused us problem in 2000 but just think how it will seem if Bush gets 90% of the vote. His people won't be stupid enough to say, like Saddamn did in Iraq, that he got 100% of the vote. All it will take to change votes in these machines is a few key strokes and the scary part is Diebold's testing of cellular phones to intercept voting tabulations. People need to be made aware that the next election for president may be stolen without the controversy of court intervention. Citizens need to come together in order to protect our democracy. I urge you to make honest voting one of your main concerns. The people in the white house are not above these kinds of dirty tricks. All the best to you and see below article regarding voting machines. Richard Meade-Diebold hits Black Box Voting with cease & desist: Host refuses-Diebold Demands Removal of Memos - Press copy-Meanwhile, many Americans have decided to revisit the Boston Tea Party.- Over 500 voting activists are now in possession of the Diebold memos, on three continents, and they are distributing them as fast as they can. "Think of it like a really patriotic chain letter," says one activist.-Honoring democracy: The BlackBoxVoting.org host has so far refused tohonor Diebold's demand.-See the Diebold letter:http://www.blackboxvoting.org/diebold-memos-1.htm-Visit forum for BlackBoxVoting.org web host lawyer's reply to Diebold http://www.blackboxvoting.org/blackboxvotingcgi/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID25&conf=DCConfID1-In the memos, dated Oct. 2001, Diebold's own principal engineer Ken Clark concedes that it is a simple matter to do an "end run" around the Diebold "GEMS" voting software, used for both touch screens and the lower tech optical scan machines, and goes on to say that people have used this "back door" in elections.-(not general)CLARK: "Right now you can open GEMS' .mdb file with MS-Access, and alter its contents. That includes the audit log. This isn't anything new."-Diebold admits that the memos are authentic, and claims copyright protection.-(not general)CLARK: "Being able to end-run the database has admittedly got people out of a bind though. Jane (I think it was Jane) did some fancy footwork on the .mdb file in Gaston recently. I know our dealers do it. King County is famous for it. That's why we've never put a password on the file before."-Diebold's own memos authenticate the security flaw I wrote about on July8, 2003 (http://www.blackboxvoting.org/access-diebold.htm).-In contrast to their rebuttal to the Hopkins/Rice report, Diebold has never denied that I reviewed actual, working, certified versions of its software which are used in real elections, and they have never contended that my analysis is wrong. Clark's memo shows why: The tamperability was well known by senior programmers at Diebold, and had been in place for 10 years.-The memos also show that Metamor (now Ciber), the Independent Testing Authority (ITA) entrusted with testing voting machine software, called attention to the security flaw in Oct. 2001:-NEL FINBERG: "Jennifer Price at Metamor (about to be Ciber) has indicated that she can access the GEMS Access database and alter the Audit log without entering a password. What is the position of our development staff on this issue? Can we justify this?"-Principal engineer Clark acknowledges the security weakness and replies:-CLARK: "…if you don't bring this up you might skate through Metamor." He goes on to say: CLARK: "Bottom line on Metamor is to find out what it is going to taketo make them happy."- Metamor agrees to overlook the flaw. FINBERG: "For now Metamor accepts the requirement to restrict the server password to authorized staff in the jurisdiction, and that it should be the responsibility of the jurisdiction to restrict knowledge of this password. So no action is necessary in this matter, at this time." Finberg's response says the software has been approved because the user of the software will have a password. However, I showed in the same July 8 report that the GEMS password can be overwritten in five minutes by any 14-year old. This leaves only the Windows NT security which is altogether outside the Diebold voting system. Unfortunately, other memos indicate that the less secure Windows XP system is now being installed, moving away from a previous requirement for Windows NT, which had at least some built-in security. The Diebold memos also demonstrate that the company made fraudulent claims to the state of Georgia when selling its system. Georgia voting machine R.F.P. March 2002: IV. PHASE I, DIEBOLD TECHNICAL PROPOSAL:] "Generated entries on the audit log cannot be terminated or interfered with by program control or by human intervention."R.F.P. March 2002: IV. PHASE I, TECHNICAL PROPOSAL: "Beyond the standard array of Windows NT-based layered and encrypted security, GEMS application provides all the security measures necessary for complete system security."Principal engineer Ken Clark also notes that the security flaw has been in place for at least a decade: CLARK: "This isn't anything new. In VTS, you can open the database with progress and do the same… This is all about Florida, and we have had VTS certified in Florida under the status quo for nearly ten years."BlackBoxVoting.org contends that they have the right to publish the memos, which were given to them by a Diebold employee, and that this right supercedes Diebold's right to copyright protection because: 1) The Ken Clark memo demonstrates intent to break the law. The flaw violates both FEC standards and most state statutes. In California, for example, it is against the law to sell a voting system that is not tamper-resistant. 2) The publication of the memos serves an overriding public interest. 3) Other memos provide additional evidence of failure to follow the law, and reveal new security flaws. Specifically:- At least two sets of memos discuss using cell phones to intercept and transmit vote data- PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: The memos document that Diebold has been using changed versions of software in elections, versions that were never submitted for certification at all. What this means is that none of the testing and certification protections apply, and no one, not the ITA, the secretary of state, or any election official (or, according to the memos, even Diebold's own tech support staff) have any idea at all what is contained in the lines of code in those uncertified programs. What this means is that only three people in the world know what's in the Diebold software code used to run several elections, particularly in California. Two of these individuals are Canadian and one is a Russian living in Canada. Their names: Ken Clark, Talbot Iredale (a stockholder), and Dmitry Papushin.- I have provided a CD containing the memos to my congressman; at least two other members of congress in other states were also given the memos. A "rig-a-vote" CD from California activist Jim March containing step by step instructions with bona fide Diebold software showing how to change the audit log, overwrite the password, and change the votes during the midst of an election. Over 500 activists in the USA, Canada, Europe and the South Pacific now have the Diebold memos. - Diebold software is easy to tamper, according to Diebold's own principal engineer - Diebold has been using untested, uncertified software in elections- Diebold has been experimenting with insecure and unauthorized remote communications, including use of cell phones to intercept and transfer vote data during real elections. - Diebold has submitted sales literature that misrepresents its system.

Dear General Clark I read an article stating that you want to travel throughout the country to hear about the issues. I am an educator in Nevada and have recently become aware of the incredible need for lawmakers to step away from high stake testing in schools that limits funds and holds back the impoverished children that need funding and aide the most. I suggest you read a book called High Stakes by Dale D. Johnson and Bonnie Johnson. It says everything that is burning inside my heart. I am incredibly concerned for the future of our education system and the blindness that I am seeing in the administration and law making positions. The teachers are being tossed aside as a professional voice and not trusted to assess what students need. Testing and teaching to test is not the answer. Funding should not go to the high test takers because they are the children that have the most support financially and emotionally. Please read the text and think hard about these issues. We need a President that takes teachers and their judgements seriously. Sincerely, Heather Edmiston Reno Nevada [email protected]

I'm ex Air Force, General, from 1953 to 1957. I had always voted Republican until I voted for President Clinton. I am sick & tired of the right wing politics of the Republican party, and backed Clinton's Womens Abortion rights, and a fair medical plan for all Americans. If you want to stimulate the economy eliminate the short term capital gains tax on real estate. Bring back the no tax on real estate if you sell a house, and roll over the profit into a higher priced house. This is how it used to be, and it worked great! I would ask you to scrap the existing income tax structure. It is so complicated that if you ask 10 different CPA's the same question you receive 10 different answers. Then when you submit it to the IRS you get another opinion. Dump the entire system and start from scratch. Make it easy, simple, & fair. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Our country, the United States of America, has returned to the 1600s when the first European settlers came to North America. Some came for religious reasons, others for economic growth, and, a large number, were avoiding military draft to fight a war instigated by a monarch when their nation was not threatened by an advisory. The founders realizing the Massachusetts Laws of 1641-1648 decreed no state religion and made three separate branches of government to manage our country. The president was to be an administrator and President Bush has failed; whereas, we recommend you take his place. The Congress was to be the people's representative but have become individuals of dual loyalty and political prostitution. To be truthfull, the Congress of the United States is responsible for the September 11, 2001 aerial assault on the United States. Osama Bin Laden told the world his plans but the Congress keeps providing Israel with whatever resources they seek. In fact, today, September 16, 2003, the United States vetoed a UN Resolution to protect the President of Palestine, His Excellency Yasser Arafat, from being expelled from his home country or killed by the Zionist. General Clark, we need an American in the White House that know the world population is made up of one people regardless of race, creed, religion and point of origin. To this end, our nation is like the world, one people. Please return our country to the people.

General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Nowhere in the Constitution does it mandate that America should dominate the rest of the world, by either economic or military means. Whether it is an unjust war, unjust foreign policies, or unjust economic strongarming (NAFTA, WTO, GATT), the hubris shown by recent administrations is wholly unacceptable. Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Ike, JFK--would be apalled at the current state of events. "With great power comes great responsibility". Help us to be responsible again, help us to be peaceful and compassionate in leading the free world. Let this once again be a true democracy.

General Clark, I am 19 yr old African-american college student.I was as idealistic as a person could possibly be about American Democracy until the 2000 election and the actions of the present administration thereafter. I became even more of a cynic when the 2002 elections rolled around.You have the opportunity now to restore idealism to a generation of very disillusioned Americans! I am a law student at Cambridge and believe me when I tell you that its horrible been an American abroad now. Not because people are intentionally horrible but because they unfortunately believe we all support the actions of the present administartion. This is a desperate plea from someone who wants to believe again in America. I am probably as unlikely a voter as the pollsters would ever come across but I pledge to vote in the 2004 elections if you would just agree to make a run for the whitehouse. America needs you if she is to ever regain her greatness....a society where people feel obliged to always agree and never disagree or otherwise run the risk of been called unpatriotic. Its time for americans to shake of the shackles of fear!

Dear General Clark: When the nation is in peril and Democratic party does not have pursuasive platforms, American people wonder where the nation's future lies. A C student from Yale is sitting at White House without realizing delicate international policies and also crucial roles and influences of the United States over other nations. He has no leads for the prosperous Americans once recognized as the mighty force and intelligent people in the world. We lost dignity. We lost pride. And we lost confidence. We need honest, realistic, and concrete policies. When a President called for a war against terrorism, the war must be with terrors, not with surrounding and suspected nations. The president should and must have clear vision to lead this nation without raising doubts and confusions. We need a leader like you, who has known European people and nations, who has demonstrated an excellent leadership and integrity for our country, for the next President of the United States. Congratulations for your endeavor and decision to run for the Presidency of the United States.

Dear General Clark, I am delighted to hear of the news that you may indeed be running for President in 2004. This means a great deal to me, and gives me hope about the future of the US. I listened to your speech at Stanford University 2.5 years ago, and - as I wrote to you afterwards - was impressed by an understanding of the European-US connection and divide ("they remember things" ... a fabulous summary!). This impression was confirmed, when I read your book. I believe your candidacy alone will be very good for the US, and good for Europe and the rest of the world also. Of course, I am hoping very much that you will win, and would like to offer my help, should you be able to make use of it. I am getting a PhD in Policy Analysis at RAND, in Santa Monica, but am currently in Doha (Qatar), where I am advising the government on education reform. Though the graduate student budget will constrain my ability to contribute financially (I'll be done and get my degree only next August), let me know if there's something I can write or contribute otherwise. As a Policy Analyst, and Swiss and Irish citizen, there may be an occasional perspective I could provide. Thank you for making my day! Truly, this is quite a treat. I look forward to hearing more definitive news. Godspeed. Connor

General Clark: I am interested in seeing your position on various issues as expressed by you in the context of a political campaign. As such, I hope that you do announce your candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President. I am somewhat concerned with your apparent support for discrimination as practiced under Affirmative Action. Affirmative Action had its time, but that time has passed. I feel it is important that you appeal to the "Reasonable Majority" and distance yourself from extremists such as Michael Moore. I cannot guarantee my support for a candidacy by you at this time, but I am not impressed with any current candidates and am very interested in hearing what you have to say. Jimmy Kirkland

September 16, 2003 Dear General Clark: I have been recently seeing you more in the news regarding a run for the White House. I do believe that your entering the race is an important one and feel that Democrats like myself need a strong viable source to bring this country back around. I supported President Bill Clinton and I am in the newspaper with him several times. I happen to be psychic and clairvoyant and predicted his presidency both times in early in 1992 and and early 1993, '94, '95 for his victory in 1996 and have newspaper articles to prove it. I support his Presidential Library in Little Rock, Ark. I also support his current efforts with assisting Governor Gray Davis here in California. I have lived and worked in California for most of my life and have raised a son who is now a lawyer in Los Angeles, Ca. California is a beautiful state and is being overrun by illegals who have usurped our insurance industry whether it being medical, auto, or workman's comp. I am a retired California Highway Patrol dispatcher and love this state and avidly support the Democrat party. My fiancee is a retired Navy Captain who was in the Vietnam War who was on a unrep ship and was also a Captain of a submarine. I am very proud of him and he was in the service for 33 years. We are alittle like a team like James Carville and Mary Matlan, he being Republican and I being Democrat. We furiously debate issues and have numerous political discussions but the end result is I will never change my party affiliation. We do not want to change each other but we compliment one another in many things. I see that you are a strong impact and can unify this country and this Democratic base back to where it belongs and that being that jobs for our Americans stay here in the United States. My father and grandfather were steel workers in Pittsburgh, Pa and my grandfather helped build this country for over (3) decades. I am in hopes to receive this letter and have an opportunity to respond briefly. Please be assured that I see you eliminating all of the other candidates who are currently running in this race and that you can take the forefront immediately. Thank you for your consideration and understanding in this matter. Sincerely, Diane M. Newman-Gregerson Julian, Ca.

General, Here's to hoping you will win the nomination and the Presidency itself. Here's to knowing you will take back and give to us what is rightfully ours - the government. Here are a few more hopefuls- 1. During the debates, could you kindly ask Bush why he shifted focus from appropriate action in Afghanistan to inappropriate action in Iraq? 2. During the debates, could you kindly ask Bush where the solid, definative proof of WMD's is? 3. During the debates, could you kindly ask Bush where all the jobs that we were promised went to? 4. During the debates, could you kindly ask Bush that, if the tax cuts were meant to stimulate the economy, then why has the federal deficit increased? 5. During the debates, could you kindly ask Bush why he did not pay attention to or implement President Clinton's plan to open an office of National Homeland Security until after September 11, 2001? We're putting our trust in your hands, General. We know you'll keep your bearing and do your brothers in arms proud, be we active duty, honorably discharged, or retired. Do it for the country you've proudly served for so long. Mark Bingham said it best: "Let's Roll." Now I tell you: "You GO, General!"

Trying to convince some of my Bush supporter friends (this is Texas) why you will likely make a better President, I spent 30 seconds on Google and found resumes for both of you. Came up with this for George W. Bush: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush and this for Wesley Clark: http://www.nato.int/cv/saceur/clark.htm From your distinguished academic record at West Point through through your Viet Nam service and your career as an officer, the comparison couldn't be more compelling. Thank God you made the decision to run. Please be the uniter that George W. Bush promised to be, but hasn't been.

Is it official yet or do I need to wait until the press conference Wednesday? I am all set to honor my pledge and just need the official campaign name and address and then I will write my check for the $300 that I promised. Like many others, i am a liberal and never thought that I would want a military man for president, but I do, and very much so. Right on, General

General Clark, with all due respect and as ex-military I have to ask you these questions if you are to ever get my vote: 1. Being of the same party as Bill Clinton, who was anti-military, and weakened our nation overall, you will have to shed the Democratic historic weakness on military and national defense to get votes. Most of the Democrats have been " Clintonized " and will do anything for votes: lies, spin, and borderline treason, anything for power, money and votes. You have to shed their image ! 2. Support the constitution, and especially the 1st & 2nd Amendments. The Democrats have been trying to tear down the Constitution that our founding fathers fought so hard for and this is in-excusable ! 3. The world is becoming very dangerous, and now IS NOT THE TIME FOR NATIONAL WEAKNESS and LACK of RESOLVE. We need a strong President, a stronger military, a strong national security effort, improved intelligence services, missle defense and a strengthened Homeland Security. Clinton was not good at any of this, and the Communist Chinese Red Army wanted Clinton and Gore in office awful bad, why was that ? $$$$ 3 years of nuclear secrets going out the back door of Los Alamos along with Janet Reno blocking the FBI from doing their job, why was that ? Sounds treasonous ??!!! Is this the party you represent or can you get the Democrats back into the patriotic fold for a strong America, offer and keep that promise ? 4. And please don't sell the nation out to the U.N., their court system, there future taxation schemes and please don't turn our military or our sovereignty over to the Socialist / Communist U.N. who has never been a friend of the United States unless seeking money. 5. The Deomcratic Party of 2003 is not the party of the WWII generation, they have become anti-American, filled with Socialist ideas and ideals, a lack of morals, a lack of patriotism, a disregard for national defense, a friend of the ACLU and the dumbing down of the American youth through the skills of the teachers and their unions. U.S. students are rated about # 10 in the world, wonder why ? 6. Isn't it interesting to note that all of the worlds current dictators, anti-American governments, and Communists lean towards supporting the Democrats.....isn't that something to be proud of and why would that be ? America for sale ? As you can see there is a lot to overcome to shed the current Democratic morals and values, values that once made this nation great.

I believe with all my heart that you possess the eclectic background necessary to lead our country through the fiscal and foreign policy morass we find ourselves in today. It is as a veteran, citizen, and lifelong Democrat, that I humbly offer myself as a volunteer for your long overdue presidential campaign.

I just made a 100 dollar donation to your campaign. I have never donated to anyone's campaign until today. That means I have a lot of respect and trust in you. I spent 6 years in the Marine Corps and I used to consider myself a very stubborn conservative. I got out of the Marines and began immediately to college. That is where I found my true political self. I'm a liberal, except on just a few issues, but for the most part I am a true liberal. I have listened to what you have to say and I am sold. I'm am going to do my very best to gain support for you and your campaign starting with my friends, family, co-workers and eventually to as many people as I meet. To sum it up: I know that my 100 dollars doesn't make THAT much of a difference financially, but I will give you all of my support and I think that holds a greater value.

America needs a new president, and a Democrat who will scrap the tax code with all it's bought and paid for by poltical contributions tax deductions. This will balance our budget, eliminate the need for campaign finance reform, and stop corporate profits inflating schemes if made to actually pay taxes. We need to scrap NAFTA to end the flow of jobs overseas, and stop subsidizing farmers, a process that impoverishes foreign farmers and forces illegal immigration to the USA. We also need to finance the INS as 17 of the hijackers should have been stopped under existing immigration requirements. Please run for president; you do not carry the baggage that would preclude you from running on such issues that are dear to Democrats instead of trying to out centrist Bush.

However, I've been a Democrat all my life and truly believe in the principles of our Party.

Several of us Iron Workers have been hoping you would enter the race to defeat G. Bush. Although our International Union has endorsed Gephardt so early, I think you would make the better national leader, comander in chief, and president. Run General, Run!

Dear General Clark, I am absolutely elated that you've decided to run for president. These are troubling times for all Americans and we are in dire need of a leader who is honest, has integrity and the brains to make the best decisions for ALL americans. George Bush and friends have hurt this country badly with their ties to the ENRON scandel (still only one behind bars). Do you realize how bad this scandel hurt America and it's economy? People have no faith in the stock market...why should they if the "game" is fixed and criminals are protected by our elected officials. Imagine how weak our country would be if people did not invest in the businesses that provide jobs to our citizens and develop state of the art technology. George Bush also has not been entirely truthful with the american people concerning foreign policy issues. He has also gone crazy with our budget and we now have the worst deficit in our history while providing tax cuts to multimillionaires. I love my country and find you worthy of representing the United States of America. We need a leader who can make the hard decisions and does what's best for ALL americans, does not cave in to special interests, severely punishes corporate criminals, and knows how to tell the truth and is not verbally challenged! Sir with the utmost respect, we (America) needs YOU. By the way, why not select Senator John McCain as your running mate...he is a good honest man. Respectfully, Theodore Reed from San Diego CA (a registered Republican)

Dear General (President) Clark, I'm looking forward to your announcing you will run for President Wednesday. How can I help? We need you to bring hope, jobs, fiscal sanity and peace to America. One of your biggest jobs is to find a way to keep good-paying jobs in the USA. How can we compete, when Chinese workers make $1,200 yearly and more skilled employees receive around $5,000, and an American programmer makes $100,000 and an Indian counterpart is happy with $20,000? Under one-term Bush, our nation has lost more than 3 million jobs and more than 9 million are unemployed. For starters, you could extend unemployment benefits and launch public works projects to rebuild our decaying infrastructure. Like the programs to build an A-bomb or send a man to the moon, you should launch a massive effort to make the U.S. energy independent in 10 years. Congress cannot continue spending money like it has a credit card with no limit. If not enough money is coming in, increase taxes or repeal some of the tax breaks for the rich. Develop an exit strategy from Iraq and a program to help Afghanistan get on its feet before it is lost to the Taliban. Impose a settlement on Israel and Palestinians. Increase the size of the Army, so soldiers will not have to serve back-to-back tours and take off some of the pressure off the Guard and Reserve forces. Roll back everything Bush has done to remove environmental restrictions. Restore faith that our government is telling the truth and rebuild our relations with the UN and NATO.

We are thrilled that you have decided to enter the presidential race. We dearly need "regime change" in this country and you are, I believe, the one individual in the democratic field who can accomplish this feat. I believe further that your campaign will attract moderate Republicans in much the same way that McCain attracted many Democrats. The Bush-Cheney-Rumsfelt-Ashcroft team is wreaking havoc in every major area of concern: the economy; our role in the middle east (our abysmal ignorance of these cultures and lack of respect for them and their goals); our relationship both with our traditional allies and the third world; the continuing social and class distinctions within our own country; the delicate balance between civil liberties and concerns for homeland security; the environment; education, and healthcare. Although I have agreed with Gov. Dean in his systematic critique of the current administration and appreciate what he has done to energize the base, I do not believe in the long run he can beat President Bush. Republican operatives are salivating at the thought of a potential Dean vs. Bush election because they are confident that they can summon up the ghosts of McGovern and Dukakis. Well they certainly can't use that strategy with you! You bring unprecedented intelligence, experience, values and leadership experience to the table. Thanks again for entering. God speed!

Dear General Clark: There's no question that you have superior academic and managerial skills, and excellent diplomatic credentials, particularly with respect to working with our NATO allies. I believe you have the right stuff to be a fine President. There is one question I would ask you to answer before I work for your election. Will you reverse the current Administration's military strategy and return us to an environment where we must be directly threatened before a President can attack a sovereign power? As an experienced hand in the Middle East, I have an all-too-clear understanding of the road we have been heading down under the Bush-Rumsfeld-Powell team. I predicted this "reconstruction" folly in Iraq, as did millions of others, and I will not vote for any candidate who makes it easier, by policy, to wage war. Mr. Bush, I'm afraid, is a joiner not a leader, and he's joined the most dramatic flock of hawks since, at least, the Nixon team. Nixon's team had a reason to be watchful of the Soviet Union as a opposing power, as we now have a reason to be watchful of Al-Qaeda, Hamas, the Mulim Brotherhood, and even the Israelis (for different reasons). But if Nixon could not rationalize a first strike against the powerful Soviet Union (obviously because there would be a terrible counterstrike), it seems that Mr. Bush should have been much more sensible about using the "threat" of Iraq as an excuse for this war. We need an army and we need to engage militarily when the threat is real. Iraq is a pissant country that couldn't even win a war with Iran when the latter was in a state of revolution. Where do you stand? If we stand together, I will work myself relentlessly to see you elected. Thank you, Ted Preisser Burlingame, CA September 16, 2003

General Clark, I wholeheartedly applaud your decision to run as Democrat candidate in the 2004 Presidential election. From what we know of you so far, your presence is needed to restore America’s image at home and abroad and help it achieve its destiny of becoming a truly great nation, not simply “powerful” or “wealthy”. Everything we know of you is what we can read, listen to or view and on that basis so far I will vote for you. I think that above all as a nation we need honesty, commitment and accountability in our next President – we are voting for your views and vision for this country so please, give us YOUR views and visions, what you truly believe in and deliver those promises as far as it is humanly possible to do so. If you fail in any area, tell us and be the first President for some time to behave honestly – you are going forward for election not canonization. If elected, please be sure to deliver at least the following: · Commitments to health care for all and improvements in educational standards nationwide. Achieve both these aims and you will leave a legacy that will endure into the next century and beyond. Without these two vital components, how can the USA and the world benefit from the enormous and varied talent that lives in this land? · Tax reforms that benefit the majority of the nation, not just the privileged few. Taxes are inevitable but let those that make the most pay the most whether as individuals or corporations. · Care for the environment. Make people understand that “the environment” isn’t just the Amazon rain forests or the Alaskan tundra. It’s their own backyard and their hometown; it’s the air they breathe, the food they eat and the water they drink. By caring for their own home environments, they’ll start to care for the rest of world’s fragile ecosystems. · Energy: let’s start seriously developing alternatives to fossil fuels and promote energy efficiency in our vehicles and industries. We can’t switch totally right now but we need incentives and a future vision to become more conscious of the finite nature of hydrocarbon supply and really start using viable alternatives. · Have an Administration that represents the present needs of the people of the United States and can anticipate them for the future. An Administration that does not take care of industry and commerce at the expense of the average citizen. · Let the USA be the “Big Brother” (non-Orwellian!) in an international community, not the Big Bully. We cannot forever ignore international opinion – we need the rest of the World and the rest of the World needs us. The “American Way” is not the only way for many issues – let us once again be part of a tolerant international community that until recently was developing slowly to the ultimate benefit of all. · Simplicity and unambiguity in policy: say what you mean and mean what you say. It's a simplistic wishlist and over the next 15 months or so, talk will be relatively cheap. If elected you will have to deliver what you promise – if you do that you could be re-elected. A two-term administration could create sweeping changes that would make this a truly great nation, not just at home but in the eyes of the international community and help wipe out some the imbalances, shame and acrimony recently created. You’ll have my vote for 2004 – please keep the faith.

The entire world needs a new American president. A rational being capable of making crucial decisions on sound judgement. We, as a global people, need an administration in the White House that is far more experienced in foreign affairs and does not view the United States as an omnipotent nation-state. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these unique and engaging times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, not only American, but the entire globar order needs you. Please run for president and the world will support you.

Mr. Clark, I repectfully request you run for president. I strongly urge you to maintain the morale high ground and distinguish yourself from the liberals who cannot think outside of the political box which keeps them in power. I also urge you to do the same for the Republican presence which is blind or unwilling to delve into the issues which are hurting our nation. Issues such as the dumbing down of our public schools. I believe it is best that you are not a politician. Frankly, that is the only thing which makes Arnold an attractive candidate in my opinion. A political party should be an after thought if at all, to what the individual brings to the table as far as credentials and character are concerned. Experience is not the golden key to success. Therefore, the media in all its "infinite wisdom" is once again trying to shape history instead of remaining objective and just reporting it. Please understand that there are many Americans who do not need, nor request a government to tell us how to think or how to live. We request a government who leads by example. For example, is there a reason that politicians are not given the same standard retirement benefits as other Federal employees? Also, is there a reason why these "leaders" have voted for their own pay raises? Can we explain why the last Commander-in-chief was an admitted draft dogder? Why our current Commander-in-chief was unaccounted for in his reserve unit during the Vietnam war? Why our current Vice-President deferred his obligation? Such character flaws in our leaders possibly transcend every decision they make. With these examples being only the very tip of the ice berg, it is no wonder that Americans are cynical. I abhore and am generally ashamed of our situation. I once thought a different president would help the situation. Politics must be reshaped for the good of our nation. We could use the fire side chats all over again. Everytime a bill is presented with wasteful spending our president should bring the issue before the American people announcing publicly which way representatives voted and why you were forced to veto it until they get it right. Our leaders must be accountable, they do not live it now but someone with your non-political stance could drive a wedge between what has been accepted and what we the people will demand. If you maintain your poise, you will have my vote!

In all my many years, listening and watching, sometimes participating in a candidates run, nothing has brought more excitement and hope than your running for the Presidency!! My husband and I have always been interested and concerned about the direction this country has been taking in very recent years. We were against the war in Iraq. The voices of the Democratic Party are all similar, but your voice is refreshing and your attitude about dialogue with the American people offers new hope for a bright future! God be with you!

General Clark, while I admire you as much if not more than any of the other Democratic candidates, I feel your decision to run for President will lessen the Democrats chances of regaining the White House. It is doubtful Bush could defeat a Dean/Clark or Kerry/Clark ticket. While all three of these candidates have a great deal to offer, without a strong running mate it is a long shot, at best, that any one of them will make it to the White House. I would love to see you as the Vice President, Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State, but as for a Presidential candidate I will still vote for either Dean or Kerry in the Primary election.

As a centrist who doesn't like to support either party, I have to admit that the platform on which you might run is very appealing. I am a former member of the armed services. I am also a gay man who agrees with your candid stance on gays in the military, and applaud your frankness toward dialogue in this area. Until now, no one has so clearly stood out as the one I would most support to oppose president Bush.

Dear General Clark: It is time for a voice of intelligence and reason, backed up by practical leadership and military experience, to run for president. I have not ever actively participated in a presidential election campaign (other than to vote) but am willing to work for your presidency for the benefit of our great nation. Because our national forum is largelydefined by television, effective communication in tis format is critical to winning the presidency. I have found you to be effective in this arena, and specifically enjoyed the way you handled yourself with Sean Hannity on Fox's Hannity and Combs. You will have a good shot at turning that portion of the electorate focused on fear about terrorism your way. I hope you run and wish you the best. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark I'm a US-citizen from Missouri who has lived in Germany for almost 20 years, working first an orchestra musician, and the last 15 years as a German-English-French translator/interpretor for a major German corporation. I watched your leadership in Europe at the head of NATO, followed your name at the time of US intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo. While others yelled idiotic non-thinking "wag the dog" slogans, you spoke clear facts and with clearly higher moral sense. Having been a lifelong Democrat who in the 1990's found myself for the Democratic administration's initiatives in the Balkans - and at odds with many who felt themselves on the "Left" - I sensed that you had not only the miltary know-how but also the political skill to lead. Should you want any working support from a US citizen in Germany, please let me know. Although I would vote again tomorrow against our current president, I was for the military intervention in Irak. I am appalled at the disregard of many Americans for the hundreds of thousands of Arabs who died there during the 90's. Saddam Hussein was an Arabian Hitler who had to be removed. Thank you for your time. I will vote for you. Sincerely, Tony Pinnell Burnitzstrasse 8 D-60596 Frankfurt am Main Germany

I only have a few things to ask first: 1) Have some plans for the future -- not just the next 4-8 years. Emulate Jefferson or Franklin. And if you ever do balance the budget and get us out of debt think about educating the populus how important that is. We are a nation of raised on television idiots. 2) Respect the World's environment -- Anything Dub'ya did -- do the opposite. 3) Get the US off it's Saudi oil dependency -- And to hell with GM and Ford.. NASCAR runs every weekend on alcohol burners: That gets you the red neck vote. It also seems to me there is an entire new industry to be had for figuring out ways to run electricty from what is currently wasted. Imagine if you could power a tank or an fighter jet with something other that fossil fuel? What an advantage that would be.. how much money it could save? Shell and Exxon could lead the way to earn their tax breaks.. they hire some smart people I know can figure it out. 4) Get the US back some repect with the rest of the world. You don't need to bomb them into submission to do this. 5) Don't lie to us. If you campaign for these items, and surround yourself with the very best people, with honorable intentions for our country's destiny.. (you had to have learned that in the Army) Republican or Democrat, just not Nixon era crooks and liars concerned with their petty self interests please! Well, General, I'll give you my vote to stop the evil doers in the White House. Steve Bell -Staunch Apolitical Independent that HATES George Bush with passion.

America desperately needs a new president. I travel internationally for business and never before have I been embarrassed to call myself an American...at least until now. Our country is an international disgrace, a house divided, while we watch an arrogant, "all about me" administration create havoc both internationally and here at home. Our hard earned taxes are being squandered on misguided pet projects riddled with favoritism and kickbacks. And, even more disgraceful, is the fact that it's all being wrapped in a cloak of Americana righteousness and endorsed by a group of guilt dispensing religious extremists. With your values, intelligence and military background I believe that you are the only one who can have the credibility to successfully run against George W. Bush and beat him. Your moderate and rational thinking is clear and overdue. You have my full support to win in 2004 and bring the true American spirit back to America. General Clark, we all need you.

Dear General Clark: Today is one of the happiest days of the last three years! Thank you so much for deciding to enter the Presidential race. This is wonderful news! I have been supporting you since I first saw you on CNN, long before anyone mentioned you as a candidate. I know you have what it takes to make a great President and lead us out of the darkness that we are in now. Just stay honest and true to your beliefs, as you always do in your interviews. I will support you in any way that I can. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

General Clark-Undoubtedly you are receiving hundreds of letters of support urging you to become a Presidential cantidate, so I will keep this short. From what I have read, you appear to be very reasonable on the issues pretinant to the American people. Unlke the current catidates, you have the ability to unite the wide variety of citizens that feel disenchanted with the way the country is currently run. Beyond that you have the tallent to bring about positive change for our country. For the preceeding reasons, I respectfully ask that you enter the presidential race and give us a choice we can believe in.

Thank-you John Hlinko and Josh Margulies. You have done a great service for America. I hope you continue to use your unique grassroots effort to aid the Clark campaign. Thank-you Wesley Clark for taking on this challenge. This country needs real leadership to solve the our economic, social, educational and environmental problems; the terrorist threats; and to bring us back into the world community.

Dear General Clark, I am an overseas American who has carefully been watching the political situation in the U.S. By chance, I tuned into "Meet the Press" a few weeks back and caught your interview there. As I heard you speak, I said to myself, "Yes!" I agree with Michael Moore: more than any other democratic candidate out there, you would be the one with the most potential to beat Bush. You are the one with the credentials, the courage, but most of all the personality that can win over the hearts and minds of middle America, that which has been so persistently supportive of the Bush administration. That is, if they will ever watch anything but Fox News. Now HERE we have a big problem. I do hope you will decide to take on the biggest challenge of your life.

Mr. Clark, I have watched your with great interest, as you consider a bid for president from the democratic party. I too have not established a party loyalty, instead, proclaiming independent voter status. However, I am ready to declare myself a full fledged democrat. At 59 years of age and unemployed for over two years in the IT industry, I am one of countless people who do not like the direction the current administration has taken the country. I disagreed with the war in Iraq, and would have preferred a continuation of "containment". It is a slower process, but the loss of one American life in Iraq was not worth the price we are paying today in loss of lifes. My priorities are; 1) Improve the economy and allow those of us unemployed to return to work. This will also allow us to pay for the quagmire we are now enduring in Iraq - we are committed whether we wish to be or not. I suspect that was the plan all along - gain public support for a war on teror, take it to Iraq and ala American commitment, right, wrong, or indefferent. 2) Re-establish a synergy with the other countries of the world. Each country has its own identity and differences exist as such, however, each country does have commonality on many fronts, not the least being the war on terrorism. Challenging to accomplish, but not impossible. This will help the USA regain credibility and very important, help with the cost of the lengthy and ongoing war in Iraq (I know the war was declared over), but when troops are getting killed, it is war - no fuzzy words can conceal what war is about declared or not. 3) Put a stop to the movement of jobs to other countries. Most of us own stock in a company or companies either directly or via 401K's. We all want corporations to perform well and make money. BUT, we cannot help other countries if our own is bleeding from loss of jobs, the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. There is a requirement to balance how we help other nations less fortunate. Life is really just that, about life - BUT money is a requirement for us, enabling each to acquire the basic support to maintain that life, food, medical care, etc. AND many people are unable to earn enough money to pay for the very basic needs through no fault of their own. Without the opportunity to work and earn revenue to support what we desire for life, we cannot contribute the money to help those other nations in need. Government is (I like to believe) an extension of the people, truly a representation of the people, equalizing opportunities for the people of the USA. I hear many people talk of the government as if it were a separate entity or person. It becomes a word buffer, making hard decisons easier to present for many when they can say the government forced the decision. We have many needs in our own country. The decisions do not have to be made complicated - common sense dictates what the basic needs of the country are today and in fact what they were yesterday. The money being spent in Iraq could have as easily been spent in our own country, helping improve opportunites for people to improve their lives, if we did not have an administration bent on alienating the world and attempting to force up on us, their view of what the USA should be - history is full of those who have done this for a period of time - Germany and Japan come to mind. I served proudly in the Iowa National Guard during the Viet Nam conflict, feeling I was serving my country. It was my decision regarding how I desired to serve, but not whether to serve, as I dropped out of school to earn more money to attend school and became a number one draft pick. Unlike our current president, I was not accepted into a National Guard unit because of money and influence, as I had neither. The decision allowed me to serve my country while maintaining a balance in my life that many of my friends did not reach. Still we in the reserve and guard were prepared to do whatever was necessary if called upon. I was proud to serve in a Combat Engineering unit for my six years of committment. I was at a point in my life where I thought the country was doing the right thing during the Viet Nam conflict. Many of my friends and relatives had their lives ended in that conflict. It was many years later as I reflected on the era, that the country was lead down a path to war that should never have been. For those directly involved on the front lines, war is up close and personal. Those making decisions need to stop and reflect on that before making a decision to place our young men and women in harms way. We need to go to war ONLY when their are no alternatives and as the case of Iraq, we had less costly (lives and money) alternatives. I do support the war on terrorism but unfortunately, members of our current and prior administrations (a family thing) created some or all of the leaders that are in power or were in power. It is a different world today and requires much effort to gain concensus for critical decisions. Bill Clinton was able to formulate a simple statement to sum up many of the ills of the country - "it is the economy, stupid". So, Mr. Clark, I do hope you run for president of our country and if you need campaign help, I am available. I also need a job. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

You are a welcome champion to the cause of the common man/woman. These are dark times. You have a light about you that will calm our fears and help us pull together as a nation and a world. Greatness has been thrust upon you and you must lead this country and this world out of turmoil and despair into a new era of peace and prosperity.

My son-in-law, 28, was a ranger, intelligence unit, was ona mission in Colombia, it did not go well but once a ranger always a ranger. They are the toughest and the most intelligent,albeit quiet. I will help you, on the front lines, I have done it in Miami before,but I haven't been too excied re' this election., it seems so dismal. Additionally I can be of service with some critical ideas, I hope you call on me. Thank you, go for it! I have something incredible for the economy and homeland sec. as well, and an impressive resume, just waiting for the right candidate.

Wesley: I know that you don't mind me calling you by your first name. That's just one of the reasons that I consider you a good man! General, if you are not prepared to stick to your true beliefs, please don't enter this race. I do not want to see you get caught up in the "big mess" that is our politics today. If you simply run straight-forward on your beliefs, you've got some high powered fuel in the tank. Stick to those beliefs, please! People like me desire(need) a clear, decisive, and level-headed voice like yours. If your true beliefs are not enough to win(many of us think that they are), you can go home at the end of the day and smile. "Win at all cost" should not be an option! You have a great view of the human condition, and it is very refreshing! You are a great man among many... remember that! Now, he generic stuff from the site America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times.

We were hijacked in 2000 by a band of liars and theives that has shamed this great country, and placed this cloud over us like we were prisoner's. But today there was news that we were going to be rescued. Hearing this, I rushed to my computer to see if it was actually true. To my suprise, relief, and overjoyment I saw you were going to run - not for the V.P. but for the "Mac-Daddy" as our new leader and commander! Sir, thank you for your noble courage, sincerity, and trust in the people that we would be honored to have you as our next President. Scott A. Sullivan President MicroWorks, Inc. Baton Rouge, LA.

Honorable General Clark, I have just learned of you, and upon gaining knowledge of your self, your history and your intents, I find myself overcome. My heart soars with hope that the dark days these United States have endured in recent years may soon be at end. And I can, in light of this hope, cry deeply for what has become of my beloved country, releasing at last a pain that has been excruciating for lack of hope's balm. Go forth Wesley Clark. You will be seen as a shining promise, a son of America by whom our people will be honored to be led. Be swayed not by the mis-truths of polls and well-meaning advisors, but follow always the highest course of your heart and mind. Trust your self. You'll do fine. At last, to see one truly fitting, my mind sighs in wonder. I had quite given you up. Most sincerely, Bonnie Chowaniec

Now, a suggestion -- we think that you should ask Dick Gephardt to be your running mate. If you do, you reach out to the central part of the country and some of the industrial states, and also, Gephardt balances the ticket on the domestic front. AND, he knows the ins and outs of getting legislation passed so AFTER you become President, he'll be of great help in Congress to get new (and better!) legislation passed. Go get 'em General!

General Clark, I work with the Veterans of our Nation everyday, and I wonder where you stand on Mandatory Healthcare funding for VA Healthcare, and Concurrent Receipt. Please advise. The Military Retirees have long been abused by not being able to collect their retirement and their VA disability. this is only done to the Military Retirees.........no other government employees. Mandatory Healthcare funding should be a given. These Veterans served their country, and deserve this healthcare. Where do you stand on these and other Veterans issues? I will look forward to hearing from you.

To be honest I have only recently heard of you and your intentions to run for the presidency; with the little knowledge I have of you, based on my research I feel you are undoubtedly a breath of fresh air. I was extremely impressed with your short interview on Bill Maher; I am thrilled to hear you have decided to run for the Presidency. You represent hope in a very uncertain and dark time for this country. I have no doubt in little time you will blow Bush out of the race. Please take our country out of Bush's control before it's too late, don't let him hijack another election. I will support you however I can, Best of luck!

Will you however, be able to balance domestic and foreign policy more successfully than the past three Presidents?

Dear General Clark, It looks like you might run and I want to tell you that if you do I will be the happiest woman around. I'm a degreed professional and I was a teenage during the Vietnam War. I fall asleep almost everynight with Hilter, listening to the History Channel. During other times, my tv is on msnbc or cnn. I read the newspaper every day and had a subscription to TIME Magazine from the age of 15 to 35, when supporting my three daughters made it hard to continue. In other words, I'm an informed citizens, active in the community and live by the words, "If you're not a part of the solution, then you're part of the problem". You, Sir, are a part of the "SOLUTION". PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!! I promise to pray faithfully for you and your wife for her sacrifice and for those around you. We must get Bush out of the White House and you are our only chance. Thank you, Sir, for all that you've done so far and in the future!! Sincerely Yours in Support, J.J. John-Gagne PS My husband is much younger that me but I keep him young. He's still in the Air Force and many in the military feel that Bush lied to them..........but I think you already know that....God Bless you. General Clark, America needs you.

Mr. Clark, If the media reports are indeed true, and you are in fact seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, then it's time to jump for joy. America needs a president who can see past his knee-jerk reactions; who realizes that ensuring safety, security, and prosperity for Americans means striking a balance between foreign and domestic issues, listening to and being straightforward with the citizens, and most of all recognizing that the United States is a part of a world full of nations whose views and concerns should not be summarily dismissed. I believe you are that person. Congratualtions, Mr. Clark. You have my vote.

I am writing to say that I believe it is very important that you run for president, if not just to bring the people of the United States together, but to bring us a leader who will help the people of the whole world. It is more than important that some of the current issues are faced. I am a foreign exchange student in Denmark, and have had the chance to look at the United States as a foreigner would. I am sad to say that I do not like what I am seeing. The people in Denmark, and other places in Europe, are very angry with what the US has done and is doing. They laugh at our current president and feel that we must be not educated very well to have voted in such a man. I would like for the rest of the world to see that we can be civilized and fight for peace instead of war. I know that my one e-mail will not make much of a difference to you, and I don't know if you are reading them yourself, for that would take a long time, but I would like to say that you have made me feel there is still hope left that America will become the land we were hoping. One where all the peoples of the world could unite for a greater cause. You inspire me to see all the good that America could do if it had a leader that would do just that, lead them, direct them in a direction worth heading. I than thank you for your honesty and your integrity. This is a crucial time, when the fate of the world is decided in the actions of the people. If we to not act soon, what was science fiction may become reality. I feel that with you as our president we could head down the right path to a country made of love instead of hate. I respect your opinions and how you have stated them. I wish to say the gratitude which I feel towards what you have already accomplished. Thank you.

America really, really, really needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please, please, please, run for president.

Great!! I have seen the news reports of the General's decision. This is George Bush's worst nighmare. General Clark is highly electable! The Solid South is gone!! Arkansas will vote for the General and Florida is within reach and possibly Virginia. The West Coast will never vote for Bush! This is also true of New York State and North. Pennsylvania has a popular Democratic governor. Bill Clinton is extremely gifted politically and he has urged the General to run!! I agree!!! The military will support the General

General Clark you MADE my day today! When I heard that you will sign up to defend America against the dictatorship of GW Bush and Co. One bit of advice to you. Bush and Co. will stop at nothing to win so PLEASE make sure you hire top security people to protect you at all times. DO NOT announce any flight plans to the public. Keep that information secret from any government agency. Many of us believe that Paul Wellstone's airplane crash was suspect and we don't want anything to happen to you. Our best hope of recovering our Country from those who will only do us harm. Anyway, I have pledged to support your candidacy, I will help spread the word and encourage all I know to support you too. God Speed, General Clark and thank you for your sacrifice.

Sir, I will truthfully admit that I have been backing Howard Dean as the only strong voice who spoke to the majority of my issues without waffling in the past few months. However, after reading about you and reviewing the draft-you website, I remembered those things which I so admired about Bill Clinton which you also have: a fine mind, trained in nuance and philosophy that couples with a practical understanding of the world as it is; an understanding of negotiation and the need to work with friends, not make enemies. At the same time, you have known what it is to wage war, NOT because it's politically useful or politically distracting, but because it was necessary at the time. And you understand as well that if one can avoid war through negotiation, compromise and reaching out, it's the best way to win the peace. I admit being very surprised to find that my first reaction to hearing you were going to run was an immediate sigh of relief. This was completely unexpected! Yet as I looked inward, I realized that you have what it takes for both war AND peace, strength AND flexibility. I would be pleased and proud to see you take your seat in the Oval Office, and you have my applause, good wishes and encouragement as you seek to oust the Bush Administration from their seats of ideological and destructive power.

Gen. Clark -- I am an executive who has served as CEO of two public companies, one of which I founded and focus on the medical and life science fields. I have been appalled at the attack of the Bush administration on our democracy, rights, environment and our relationships with the rest of the world. This is becoming government by big business, where everyone participating pays to play. Ike was right in warning us about the dangers of the military-industrial complex and their "prevail at any cost" mentality. I belive that you may be able to get this nation back on track and again governed by the people, doing what's right, instead of what's profitable. I stand ready to assist in your efforts. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I have just read your interest in running for the office of the president of the United States of America. I have not followed your career in great detail, but I worry that as a General, an investment banker, and now a politician, your feel of the American people may need polishing. I live in the beautiful city of San Francisco, where housing projects and violence are the norm. Across the bay is Oakland where young men die by the week. From LA, Sacramento, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami, Detroit, Boston, and every urban city in this great nation, we are fighting a war against violence in our streets. I recently visited Morocco and Spain. I spent considerable time in Marrakech and Madrid. As I talked to the locals, I mentioned fear of walking around certain neighborhoods at night. They could not understand what I was talking about. Even though I speak French, the Moroccans I spoke with were unable to comprehend fear in their own city. I believe we may still categorize Marrakech as 3rd world... In the end we are creating a generation without hope, and it seems to be delineated over racial lines. If you could pick up this issue, as dangerous as it could be from both sides (left and right) I feel people could rally for you, and against this crazy war in Iraq. The billions spent in Iraq seem criminal when you walk through the housing projects and prisons of this country. These people have not be given a chance to be a part of successful society, and now they fill prisons, hang out jobless selling drugs, and threaten our children and wives in the streets. I do admit that I love my city (SF) and all its diversity, but I cannot help but see the wealthy flee to neighborhoods so expensive that crime preention and security are based on economic micro-geographies within the city (and of course the suburbs). Address these issues and people will listen. There is no reason we cannot be the greatest nation on the planet except poor leadership and the currency of fear we are used to. Thank you for your time, Ethan Mevi

This country needs a real leader not another politician. I'm tired of trading the greater evil for the lesser one. You're the antidote the U.S. so desperately needs. Someone that could strike a cord within the apathetic hearts of so many millions of Americans who feel that their voice no longer counts. General Clark, you are that voice. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, First I am a Republican and I am asking you to please run. I am writing to tell you how you can get Republican Votes and win both the primary and the general elections. Declare war on oil. Propose a vision for the country. Dean got ahead of the competitors in the Democratic primary race by skipping ahead of them and railing against Bush, instead of arguing with Kerry and the others. But you must remember that Republicans do not hate Bush. No matter how bad Bush is we always compare him to Clinton. The Clintons make our skin crawl but Bush does not. Republicans won’t like vehement attacks on Bush’s character. Also, its divisive and our country needs to move beyond that. However, many Republicans have a sense that something is wrong. So I suggest you find a target for this angst that Republicans, and Democrats can both resonate with, oil. Don’t get caught in the policy wonk babble of your competitors. Do like Dean did, skip over that. Then provide a vision for the country. And get fired up while your at it. As long as your not being divisive the entire country will respond if you have some fire in your speech. Q. Why is it that Bin Laden is a millionaire? A. It’s the oil! Make a statement that if elected president you will issue an executive order to all branches of the government to drop everything they are doing and come up with an energy independence plan. NASA, DOD, Dept of Agriculture even HEW all would have 6 months. At the end of that time a presidential, or congressional committee picks a path and we have 3 ½ years to implement the President’s War On Oil. The other major world economies will have to follow suit and we would see a precipitous drop in energy prices. Nothing drives down prices like competition. Q. Why is it we are spending a billion dollars a day in Baghdad while the lights are off in Cleveland? A. It’s the oil. Sir, I am speaking to you directly now. Do something about this. I am sick and tired of hearing “this is the nation that sent a man to the moon … etc …” I don’t care what it takes. I don’t care if we have to go against our capitalist ways and use government money to build solar panel factories. I don’t care if we have to see windmills popping out of Teddy Roosevelt’s Head on Mt. Rushmore. Q. Why is it that America, which produces so much and has the worlds most efficient workers, has a net trade deficit? A. It’s the oil. Provide a vision for the country. Declare war on oil. It is a panacea. As much as I loath Clinton I admit he did have a clever campaign slogan, “It’s the economy stupid.” I think your slogan should be “It’s the oil stupid.”. Q. Why is Bush a millionaire? A. It’s the oil. You can count on my continued financial support. Sincerely, Alva Hare Marlborough, Mass, 01752 Veteran USAF and USAF ANG

While I think the prospect of an antiwar/military branch of the democratic party, and someone with Gen Clark's obvious qualifications will be good for his party and the country. I caution Gen Clark to remember. A full 1/2 of the country hates the clintons. With that phony 'biting his lip' while the fake tear forms in his eye as he feels my pain. WHATEVER! With the Buddist temple bribes from the Chinese communists, the orgy of presidential pardons, or the regular orgies for that matter, the theivery of whitehouse furniture, and the time he looked me right in the eye and said to me personally "I did not have sex with that woman." WHATEVER! Gen Clark, if you want to sway republicans take my advice. Stay as far away from those phony, plastic peices of shiite (the clintons) as possible. Surround yourself with like minded generals. You'll win if you do. Don't let the clintons suck the air out of your campaign.

I have been following with great interest your decision whether to run for President. Now that you have made your decision, I can chime in with my "two cents worth". I think it is very important that President Bush is defeated. He has done terrible things to our country, in my opinion. Not the least of which is, in his use of language, offering little hope for the American people in light of a "permanent" war on terror unless they depend on Bush/the government. AS MUCH AS I BELIEVE BUSH NEEDS TO BE DEFEATED, I STRONGLY BELIEVE YOU WILL DO BETTER IF YOU DON'T JUST RUN AGAINST BUSH BUT RUN A CAMPAIGN WITH A POSITIVE MESSAGE! Offer an optimistic message that we as a people can rise to victory over our challenges, that the strength of the American people has always risen to meet challenges, and we will successfully meet the challenges of the 21st Century. I would recommend an OPTIMISTIC view, challenging Americans to--like we have done so many times in our history--reach into our strengths to meet our challenges. YES, you have to criticize Bush. But remember to focus on BUSH's POLICIES not Bush the person. There's gonna be enough attacks on his personality anyway. Focus on the Bush ADMINISTRATION, not just Bush....and don't be afraid to take it to Bush's ill-advised minions Wolfie and Rumsfeld. You can attack these at will, the american public won't react negatively to this as an attack on Bush would be. OK, that's my two cents worth. Thank you very much for running!!!!!

Sir, I am a decorated Viet Nam veteran. I've met only two other Viet Nam vets who agree at all with the President's invasion of and post-war reconstruction of Iraq. I've only seen you on a very few Sunday morning talk shows, but you impress me. Like many, I had very little use for most command officers in Viet Nam, finding their careers meant more to them than the troops and the mission. You, sir, strike me as a man with whom I'd go down the trail. I'd even go down the trail with you behind me. I urge you to run for President. I'm a teacher/artist putting-in 60 - 70 hours each week, and a man of very little influence. However, PLEASE let me know what I can do to help your campaign.

Dear General Clark, I believe that you are the person that has been given the leadership abilities to change this country. Although I am from Texas, I have not supported our current president. Our current policies in Iraq and around the world are unethical and destroying America's position in international relations. We need someone like you to change this and you have the unique skill-set to do so. I have watched you numerous times in TV interviews, and made the comment - "this guy should run for president!" I am thrilled that you are going to run and please know that there are people everywhere in America ready to support you. Thank you for considering your duty to utilize the position you have been given in this life. We are counting on you.

I find Mr. Dean to be a pandering blowhard --if he were any more full of himself would be twins. I am 41 yr.s old, a moderate to left Democrat and I am FINALLY excited about this election--if you run!

By asking a woman, you could avoid the consternation in facing the other candidates, none of whom would enhance the ticket. I'm not crazy about Davis, but Feinstein has kept her head on straigtht and been most helpful during CA's recall fiasco, Republican's clever attempt to kidnap an elected official.

Up front: I'm a WWII veteran (European Theater), sir, and I'm thoroughly disgusted with the phonies and thieves who have taken over the country I fought for! So -- read on --> America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear Mr. Clark As a former U.S. Marine and student in the National Security Studies program at Cal State San Bernardino, I feel that you would be the best candidate for the office of president of the United States of America. We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in the international environment. We are at a turning point in history. Grevious mistakes have been made, and will continue to be made without a steady hand at the helm. Yours is that steady hand. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, I am very pleased to hear that you may be a presidential canidate. I feel the White House is in need of a great president. Unfortunately President Clinton's great work was overshadowed by his poor personal choices and made a mockery out the the White House and President Bush just is not an intelligent man. I feel you have the knowledge, skills, abilities, and character to bring respect and honor back to the presidency. I have always been democract, but never have gotten involved in political races before, however I will do whatever I can to support your election campaign, your resume is impressive and I hope that you can be a leader in helping the US have a safer and brighter future.

As Americans, we are often left with a choice between "the lesser of two evils" when voting for candidates for President. For the first time since Bill Clinton, there is a chance for the Democratic Party to get behind a truly worthy candidate for this country's most important office. General Clark, America needs you! Please run for president in 2004. You would have my support and my vote.

I've been waiting for you to decide! Welcome aboard and good luck! As I learn your ideas on issues I'm sure I'll warm up to them and vote your way..as will my household. Thanks for starting your campaign to boot the lunatic "Resident of the White House." Hopefully you're not one to take up special interests. It's refreshing that you aren't a career politician and that carries alot of weight with me and those who think like me. Too bad you're not running for CA governor. It'd be nice to put a realistic face in that race..because Gray has to go! GOOD LUCK!

Not that anyone will skip past the subject to read this but ... you never know. I'm a 30ish moderate (historically Republican) who has been thoroughly disgusted with the behavior of the current administration. For the first and only time in my life, I'm really distrustful of the motives of the President and VP. All politicians spin the truth, but the lies and propaganda we've seen in the past couple of years are so transparent as to be offensive. The neo-cons in power have no humility, no compassion, no credibility, and no integrity. They spread more fear among our allies than our enemies. The corruption and arrogance are astounding. I'm terrified of what they might do next. At the same time, no confirmed or possible candidate from the Democrat camp has excited me, at least until now. An intelligent, credible, experienced, former supreme commander of NATO is thinking of running against Bush? Outstanding. Yes. Please. I'd like to be *for* someone instead of *against* someone, this time. Please run, General Clark. You've got my vote.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. However, it is not you. You are unqualified to run because you have no managerial experience in the real world. Frankly speaking, you are an administrator, not a manager or a leader. You have lived by rules and regulations written by others nearly your entire life. You have not governed, you have not managed anything, you have done nothing expect spend nearly your entire career in the Army. Simply speaking, you should just, in the words of General MacArthur, just fade away. General Clark, Please wake up and smell the bacon, and do not waste time and money running for president.

Dear General Clark, I am really moved and pleased to see that you have decided to run for the Presidency and I wish you all the best. I can' imagine how hard it must be to subject yourself to the sort of grind and media attacks this country often engages in during political contests, so I just wanted to say thank you in advance for stepping forward, for the Democratic party, for the American people and for the underlying values and aspirations that have so formed and help steer this country, but which seem so missing under the current administration's leadership. We have blundered lately on the world stage, and on the home front as well and have resorted to cries of national security to stifle informed debate on issues which will not only alter the way we live, but also the lives of our children and of all peoples of the world. We have a certain obligation as Americans, as a remaining superpower, obligations to promote justice and not impose our own brand, to promote the welfare of all and not at the expense of others, to promote the wise use of our resources and to spearhead innovative ways of meeting the worlds energy demands, demands that if left unchecked threaten to slowly move us toward a darker and more divisive world. These are responsibilities under the current administration that we as a country have failed to meet, but with the right leadership and with honest and informed dialog I am sure we can. I truly believe you represent the leadership we need to once again move this Country forward in the right direction. My prayers and best wishes are with you and I hope you can find strength in the knowledge that many Americans, from all different walks of life, some agreeable, some contentious are all behind you in your efforts to help course correct the wandering spirit of the American Enterprise. Bless you and keep you and much success. Edwad A. Kremer

America and the world is READY for LEADERSHIP...to bring countries, and people together, to work on issues which affect us all...the REASONS for Terror, hunger, disease, global warming, public right to clean drinking water(NON PRIVATIZED) and other pressing issues...I am wondering HOW your policy regarding Israel's financial support will be changed considering how many International laws and obligations have been ignored over the decades...I hope that you are able to clearly identify HOW your approach will differ from the current and previous occupants of our White House...Palestine MUST gain have soverignty over its people, and is deserving of FAIR and BALANCED US MEDIATION...not partial and pro-Israel at any cost!! I am a Veteran, and an American Jew who clearly supports an END to the OCCUPATION, Settlements in WB and Gaza, and the WALL...What are YOU going to do that is different? and CONSTRUCTIVE to both sides? not just Sharon...

I have heard you in numerous occassions speak about what you've done, what you believe in, and what your opinions are on the global, political, economical and social fronts. Very impressive! I'm afraid that in the personal arena, there's nothing that can be done about the impact of your presidential potential on those close to you. I wish I had the same courage and ability to serve at similar levels as you and millions of others. The next best thing I can do is give you support morally, but unfortunately, a monetarily limited one (being out of work for more than 24 months for a single, disabled, 50-ish woman is not conducive to giving a lot of $!). I'm a good strategist myself, though, so I'm not defeated, and will like to ensure that neither are you! Thanks for giving us the chance to support a conscientious leader with integrity, a big dose of common sense, reasonable ego, and both business and military know-how who can provide a FAIR and BALANCED position for Americans in the world, as well as all other global citizens. Good luck to you and stay the course! Regards, ina

Dear Mr. Clark, As I sit down to write you this letter, I feel that I’m writing you not only for myself, but for the other millions of people who yearn for a President that we envisioned when we were young. We hunger for a President that inspires us with his actions and words, and encourages us to participate in the dialogue that’s so important in this country of ours. We want a future that is secure and prosperous for ourselves and future generations without alienating the rest of the world in the process. The actions this President has taken since he was “elected” will have damaging influences on our lives for many years to come. Ten, twenty, thirty years from now, people will recall the actions of this President and his administration as some of the most reckless and irresponsible in the history of America. Selfishly, I would like you to announce your candidacy for President of the United States. However, I realize what an enormous step this would be for you and your family. In the end, I’m going to dedicate all of my time, money, and effort to ensure that America has a new President in 2004, and hopefully his name will be Wesley Clark. Sincerely, W. Teague Froscher

As far as the lack of domestic political experience label ask these same people if they would rather have a savvy special interest politician for President instead. I say take a page from H Ross Perot when he said something like "well I guess they got me on that one, I have absolutely no experience in running up a trillion dollar deficit, or running a gridlock government, or pandering to special interest." Your LACK of political experiences is a character asset, not a flaw.

Clark is the true representation of America's best and brightest. The times we live in require a President that is a thoughtful warrior, with a keen intellect and a heartfelt commitment to serve the nation. Thank you Gen. Clark for offering to return to service. You have my vote and support.

This is for Lance Magum in North Carolina - If you read the press release closley General Clark DID NOT make any statements. It says "a source close to Clark" says he will enter the race. You must realize the media then picked up on that and they are at fault for the story breaking before Edwards formal announcment. It's the damn media that runs this country and they are in the pockets of the Republicans. Need I say more? P.S. Clark/Edwards sounds good to me.

Although I may still vote for Bush if the elections where held today, I would like to know that the alternative to Bush (if he doesn't wins, or if I just decide to change my choice) is a responsible citizen who can run America in the right way. If I am to have a Democrat president, I preffer to have Clark. Clark appears to be a candidate with common sense. He appears to have unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. I support you in most of stance you have on most of the campaing issues. However, I do believe that the current tax reductions should stay in place.

Dear General Clark; I am a life long Democrat and a Vietnam combat veteran. I've seen where politics in this country have been bought by special interests and have highjacket the rights of ordinary american's to have a decent life for thier families. The right has for many year's engineered their way into the political scene and are trying to make their vision of America the country's vision. These are dangerous people and American's need a true leader and a person who do the right thing versus let his oil rich friends dictate national policy. I heard you on Bill Mahr and hope you can get the Democratic nomination for President. You were a leader in our military and we need a real leader for this country, not a person who's family bought him the White House! Sincerely, Harvey Dennenberg

I even said that if John Edwards was not in this race--I would consider supporting you. What you have done today will NOT help in that cause. Everyone knew you were running and that you were going to Iowa on Friday. That fact that you could not even wait one day--So that Senator Edwards could have his turn in the spotlight was shameless.

I am a Democrat who believes the George Bush must be defeated in 2004 or he will defeat this nation. Unfortunately, I don't believe Wesley Clark's candidacy is going to increase the probability of defeating Bush. Before I offer my criticism of Clark's decision to run, let me emphasize my deep admiration for him on many levels including his intellect, motivation, patriotism and courage. I regret that he is not equally equipped in politics. As you know, the Democratic field is already very crowded. Inserting another candidate into the field won't enhance our chances of defeating Bush. May I suggest the following. Merely have your candidate get out in front of the pack and lead a vicious charge against the President. With the continuing decline of Bush's numbers and the increasing number of casualties, the Democrats need a CREDIBLE MILITARY APOLITICAL voice in the media that condemns Bush for his inability to build coalitions, poor planning, misrepresentation of intelligence for personal gain, and crushing weight of the tax cuts on the backs of everyday Americans. Wesley Clark should show the disciplined rage of a soldier against and enemy. The gentle, soft spoken, well mannered, Wesley Clark, who spent his years obeying his superiors is not the man we need to take back America from that elusive 20th hijacker, George Bush.

America desperately needs a new president. It needs to be someone outside the insensitive, uncaring, elitist administration that is currently running our country into the ground. I am deeply scared that the viscious Bush administration will defeat the "likely" opposition candidates in the coming election. I view you as the unlikely candidate, and the one who can force the public to come to their senses and see Bush's Top Gun antics for what they are. I believe that your candidacy will wake America up and break the spell that bewitches so many good people. Sir, I have never written to a national candidate before. I am angry about what is happening in this country. I like all that I have read about you, and I have listened with great interest when I have heard you interviewed. You can can count on my support. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, We have a president who spent most of his life hanging out with other rich boys and being a "all hat and no cattle cowboy". He ducked out on military service rather than embrace it. His lack of diplomatic skills are endangering Americas reputation and security. Use of terms like "bring em on" and "crusade" and "the greatest country in the world is coming to get you" are only flagrant examples of his lack of understanding of world affairs. By definition a war of terrorism is a method that allows the weak to fight the strong. It is just as impossible for the strong to defeat the weak with military strength alone as it is for the weak to defeat the strong. After reading some of your writings I believe you understand the need to build a coalition of nations with good intent and work for freedom, justice, and peace for all people. If a nation would hold its self to be "great" it must strive to recognize and engender greatness in other nations and peoples. I was heartened to hear you are running for president and I pledge my support to you. Please contact me if I can be of assitance. Dan Barnett

General Clark, I am very left-leaning politically. First and foremost, though, I think George Bush needs to be out of the White House. I think the reasons are obvious. Politically, I'm probably closer to Howard Dean, but I think that you are the only possible democratic candidate who could really beat Bush by a wide margin. There are a lot of people out there like me, and I think you could get their support and the support of more centrist democrats and moderate republicans. If you run, the democrats have a chance; otherwise, it's almost certainly four more years of Bush and Cheney. Please run. Thank you, Will Funk Nashville, TN.

Dear General Clark: I am a progressive Democrat in need of a presidential candidate. You may be it. Thank you for entering the race. I am anxious to hear more about your political beliefs. This country needs a strong, intelligent, balanced leader who can begin to undo the morass of evil that Bush has left for us. I have loved this country my whole life, but under the present administration, I have actually wanted to move to Europe. As a citizen of the world, I feel ashamed of what we have done in Iraq and Afghanistan . I am disgusted by our apathy toward environmental issues. I worry about the 89 billion that we will waste on building death machines when our schools and state colleges are suffering. I hope you will be the breath of fresh air that the Democrats need. I look forward to hearing more about your views. Good luck! Sincerely, Samantha Rajaram

General Clark, it is a pleasure to write to you at this time to encourage you to run for the President of the United States of America. I am an 71 year old independent who has voted for both Republican and Democratic candidates in every election since General Eisenhower. I have never seen this country in such poor standing with the rest of this world. I have never seen this country with the serious economic problems we face, since I was a child in the Great Depression of the 1930's. Our public schools are seriously underfunded, our communities and states are having very difficult economic issues, our nonprofit organizations are in the worst economic situation they have ever experiences, the numbers of unemployed continues to rise. I could go on and on. People no longer have trust in our federal government. They have been lied to on the most recent war. Therefore, we don't know what to believe. Are the economic "numbers" worse than being reported? Is "Orange" or "Yellow" the right color today. Are we truly interested in peace in the middle east? My list of concerns is endless! President Bush will not be opposed by his own party, an Independent candidate will not be successful and therefore the Democrats must run a person who can win. Frankly General Clark, while I like Gov. Dean and a couple of the other Democratic "candidates", I believe you are the only person who can beat President Bush in the 2004 election. Please run for president Sir...for our children and those who follow. I will support you and encourage others I know to do the same. Howard M. Faulkner

I signed on board, donated -- for the first time in my life -- to a political candidate and preached the word. In a field of democratic mediocrity, he has been a refreshing alternative. However, I don't believe he can carry the nation. America will need you for that. If you build your campaign, we will come. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark- Of all the Presidential elections in my lifetime, I feel that the upcoming 2004 election is the most important. George W. Bush's lackluster (to say the least) performance, and the increasingly conservative and oppressive Republican Party's stranglehold on the American people, have turned me into a political activist. We desperately need a new leader, one that cannot be targeted by the Republicans as an extremist or bleeding-heart liberal. A man of your caliber, with your experience and credentials, scares the Republican Party, because they know they cannot reduce you to caricature. You are a true American hero, not some little boy playing dress-up in military garb and using our soldiers for some sick testosterone-laden, ego-boosting game of war. I am asking you to run for President, because America needs you General Clark. We need a leader to represent the middle-class, working people, who have lost their voice in Washington to big corporations. While I cannot afford to donate $2,000, as is so easily given by so many Republican supporters, I pledge to donate at least $50 to your campaign, should you run, and I pledge to recruit all of my friends and family to do so as well. Your appeal to the majority of Americans can overcome the disparity in funding that has allowed Republicans to purchase key political offices. I understand that the decision to run for President is not an easy one. I can only hope that you make the decision to run. Regardless, I want to thank you for the great service you have already given the American people. Very truly yours, Lara Thurber

General Clark, I am excited to hear that you are about to announce. You face a great challenge in terms of organizing in the next few months. I wish to enlist. I have extensive experience in Delaware politics. I served in Wilmington's mayor's office for 8 years. I have worked in some of Delaware's hardest-fought campaigns in recent years. I served on the Gore organizing committee in 2000. Please let me know how I can help you organize. Tom Noyes 302.652.3241

Dear General Clark, In a time where disparate views are not encouraged, it becomes paramount that those whose voice should be heard, is. One can address the faulty sylligisms of the current adminisration ad infinitum, however, in my view, there is a dynamic occuring that is as pervasive and dangerous as any terrorist. The foundation of America is being undermined. The Bush guerillas have been resolute in their endeavor to diminish the free will of America. If one has a divergent view from that of the administration, it is discouraged. The beards of the Bush administration, the talking heads that pontificate dogma ad hoc, daily, do not enhance the America we embrace. No, they discourage discourse and encourage single minded thinking. This does nothing to enhance this great country where liberty is not only the foundation upon which it was built, but the fulcrum that provides the steady course. This American has listened to your vision, and believes you to be the candidate I wish to support. Your clarity and knowledge, coupled with a view of my America that resonates, is why I pledge my support to you. I am hopeful that there will be untold numbers of Americans who will share my decision to support you. To date, I can convey that whenever your name is mentioned, the response is always positive. General Clark, I welcome the opportunity to work towards the goal of having you as our Commander in Chief. A lofty goal indeed, and one that no person can consider without great inner searching, but one that may hold the future of America and indeed the world within. I consider it a priviledge to support you for President of the United States. Please, stay the course, and seize the opportunity to lead this country into the sunshine. We are America, the best, the brightest, the most resilient.

I truly believe that you would be the candidate that could beat George Bush in 2004. I saw you on CNN this summer while vacationing in Europe and have been talking about what impression you made on me from that interview. I have so many friends that feel the same and we are all from Texas. Please run and get this country back to where it was before the Republicans put the economy in the state it is today.

General Clark, In previous years I would have described myself as a moderate Republican, but by all accounts the last two and a half years under President Bush has been a debacle. I never have seen so many irresponsible choices, from the tax cuts for the wealthy that have plunged our nation into enormous budget deficits to sacrificing our credibility around the world by going to war in Iraq under false presumptions of an Al Qaeda connection and weapons of mass destruction. We need a leader that will truly make our nation more secure, rebuild our alliances around the world, and put us back on a path to a brighter future. General Clark, through your real life experiences it has become apparent that you are the only man for the job and I look forward to helping you become the next President of the United States. Sincerely, Tim Pudner

When your name came up all of a sudden I felt that you were a candidate that could do that. You have the credentials and none of the baggage. Please save our country and its ideals. Run.

In this time of uncertainty, a leadership of your qualifications, and expertise, is not only necessary, but expected of the United States. Firstly, Let me tell you about myself. My name is Michael Padilla, and I am a 21 year old hispanic from New Jersey. I'm not in school at the moment partly because I can't afford it right now. My parents have voted for Republicans almost all of their life. They get caught up in the confusion of politics, and always defend Republican interests. I don't believe in politics. Far too long has political incoherence prepossessed everyone's decision, before taking a close look at the candidate. Republican or Democrat, you are, honestly, the first candidate I believe can do the job right. After reading many articles on you via the internet, viewing your astonishing resume, and remembering the CNN War on Iraq coverage, I was thrilled to find out you are running for president. Your coverage and intelligent tone was the convincing impulse I needed to hear. You will indefinitely recieve my vote and donation. Good luck on your campaign, and may God bless America. With much sincerity, Michael Padilla

Dear General Clark, I am a 43 year old veteran, married, and native Arakansan (El Dorado). I grew up in Houston, Texas. I was in the Superstion Springs Half Price Used Bookstore last night buying your book on modern war. The young (20 something) lady working at the register asked me what I knew about your positions and qualifications. She said she had been impressed with what she had heard previously. We continued to talk about the chilling and abusurd threat that Rumsfeld recently made towards citizens that disagree with this administration/foriegn policy. Another young man, 20 something also and of color, joined in the conversation. He was receptive to what I was saying about my support for your possible candidacy. I mentioned your quote on the importance of dialogue to a democracy. I was pleased and excited about the spectrum of individuals who are seeking an alternative to the current president and are responding positively to your possible candidacy. Sir, we really need you to run! I stand ready to assist.

General Clark, I could sit for hours writing and re-writing every word of any letter that you may read, but for this occasion I am just going to let the words flow. There is great promise for you and for this nation in the upcoming election. You embody all that the current administration has claimed to be, with the adition of an intellectual prowess that surpasses most. Currently I am on holiday in Europe, and it troubled me when I read an article in the Herald that said Howard Dean is interseted in your involvement in his campaing. Please sir, if you only listen to one bit of my advice, listen now; a Dean campaign will not win back the White House and your skills will only be wasted if you work with that man. Howard Dean embodies all that is currently wrong with the Democratic Party and the strategies they deploy. If I were to chose a running mate for you out of the lot I would chose John Edwards in a second. The combination of your foreign policy and national security credentials, and his southern charm and Senate experience would produce a formidable opponent for the current president. Both of you are moderates, and the nation is ready for moderation. Too many rash choices have been made by an abmistration filled with idealogues and special interest whores. I hope you get a chance to read this letter. Good luck. Brandon F. Douglass

Bush almost never tells the unadulterated truth, so most everything falls into a category of total LIES. However, when it comes to matters of war and peace, we have no tolerance at all for his lies. If Bush is bent on killing people, he should become the cowboy he pretends to be, strap on a gun, and buy an airplane ticket to whatever country his beef is with. Then he can show everyone he is not the AWOL coward we already know he and his administration are as chickenhawks! America needs a new president.

General - As a former military officer, I have followed and admired your career for years. Your honorable exit from the NATO situation and your thoughtful commentary during the Iraq conflict have earned you my complete respect. I recall blatant republican campaigning over the military e-mail system during the last election that was quite disheartening. There is a general sentiment in the military that democrats are "bad", republicans are "good". I think you can change that view and manage a few of the countries other woes. It will be good to have an intelligent human being in the oval office that is not connected at the hip to energy interests.

I immediatly contacted several friends and told them to read up and listen to what you have to say. I wish I had money to send to help in your campaign but, being on a very limited budget and unable to help financiallyI will use every other form of helping I can. My husband said if you open any type of telephone room in the Florida area near Sarasota he will make as many calls spreading your message as he can. I will be more then happy to help pass out literature and the best form word of mouth. I am a true indepenmdent voter and always vote the man not the party and this election you are the man!

Dear General Clark, I've been following this grass-roots thing for some time. Mainly because I'm disenchanted with the way that the electoral process works, and am more interested in who creates the "buzz" in the people, than who is elected. Last week, I saw you on Bill Maher's show. And, though I was skeptical of your positions to begin with, after watching your interview, I became convinced that your positions are at once the most difficult and the most worthy that our nation needs. Let me explain. The idea that we can foster dialogue between parties and individuals is something that the Bush administration as well as almost every group and administration before him has squashed. Even with Clinton, what we got was the great jelling - a synthesis of democrats and republicans into one amorphous blob at the middle of the road. The pledge to initate discussion is one that few are used to and, I think, we don't realize the skope of this truly "liberal" idea. Thus, this is also the most worthy objective, since the current cultural and political climate seems to be hopelessly splintered at best. Only by opening up these lines of communication and only through dialogue will we be able to understand and support one another. And, this support and understanding will be found not out of fear (as it is with the Bush administration) but out of mutual respect. As we near the week when you will give your pledge to run, General, I want to say thank you for your support to this country to our causes and freedoms. Please, whether running for president or not, continue to fight for our liberal dialogue. Bless you.

America needs a president that can work in co-operation with the UK and the rest of Europe. I believe that you can make a difference by putting a sane head in the top post of America. As a UK citizen I am pleased to see that the media in my country still has the freedom of speech to speak out against our government when we think that it is in the wrong and the government has the integrity to set up enquiries to look into things that go wrong (Hutton Enquiry). The US needs a person like you to bring forward the issues that the US media is too afraid to approach (i.e. where are all those weapons of mass destruction??). America needs a person to stand against the Bush administration that the majority of the world hates. You are the one.

Dear General Clark, I am an unemployed, active duty US Army veteran. As I am deeply disappointed with with our stagnant economy, job losses, growing deficit and and the state of affairs in Iraq (and the world) under "President" Bush, I recently purchased a bumper sticker from DraftWesleyClark.com. I proudly placed it on my car the day I got it. While I have been a lifetime Democrat, I have to say that I have never been more proud to support any candidate by sporting his/her bumper sticker on my car. And I live in a predominantly conservative Republican community! Like you, I am tired of Republicans monopolizing patriotism and/or support for our military! Being a Democrat and wanting to help the poor should not be viewed or construed as being less patriotic! Having you as our President would go a long way towards restoring this unfair and irrational imbalance! Sir, as a former college professor of economics and as a high ranking military official, I believe you are just the man to turn our economy around and restore our place of honor with our allies and within the international community. While the field of nine other Democratic Presidential candidates has much to offer, I fear that none of them can beat Bush. Kerry strikes me as a stiff, elitist and aloof. In other words, he has the very same qualities that led to Al Gore's downfall. Unfortunately for some, presidential politics is more of a popularity contest than a bebate on substantive issues. (Kerry cannot win a popularity contest against Bush the cheerleader). While I very much like Dean's platform, I fear he will be viewed as "too liberal." His anti-war stance and lack of military service will make him vulnerable among more conservative voters. While you were also against invading Iraq, you are a bonafide military hero. You were actually considered too "aggressive" in Bosnia-Herzegovina. This is a good thing because no one can credibly question your patriotism or courage! Further, you were "in the know" as to the intelligence used to make the decision to go into Iraq. This makes your dissenting position all the more credible! In fact, I think it cements your image as a man of integrity, character, courage and principle! All of which are sorely lacking in the man holding the office of president today. In short, you are George W. Bush's and the G.O.P.'s worst nightmare! America needs a man who will stand up for ALL Americans, regardless of race and socioeconomic status. The last time I checked, corporations do not have the right to vote and yet they are essentially running our country -into the ground! The last time I checked, the poor and minorities disproportionately serve in our armed forces -the greatest the world has ever seen! General Clark, please give America back to Americans by taking the "For Sale" sign off the White House. Make Democrats proud again! I urge you to run, General! Forward, March! Sincerely, Eli Arce, Jr.

I read the "formula" letter in this space and feel that it doesn't begin to articulate the desperate need this country has for new leadership, a divorce of the corporate and governmental "marriage" that is driving us to bankruptcy, a respect for other opinions, and just plain common sense without the spin. Americans are horrified by the mess in Iraq, depressed by the mounting deficit, despairing of the loss of jobs and the indifference shown to all these factors by the present administration. I can only add my voice to the others: General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Wesley Clark, Please consider running for the office of President of the United States of America. During the early weeks of the news coverage of the unilateral, preemptive Third World War in Iraq, I listened to you on CNN, and I was terribly impressed with your knowledge and your ability to "tell it like it is" regardless of the outcome. The US today needs a leader with your knowledge, your experience, and your ethics. It needs a leader who declares, "War as a last result," like you have stated and not the shoot-first-ask-questions-later foreign policy of the present administration or Bush's notorious "Wanted, dead or alive" philosophy in the hunt for bin Laden. We need a progressive leader, who will draw us out of the dark ages put upon us by the Bush Administration. Within a couple of years Bush and his wealthy backers have created a two class country of lords and slaves, of rich and poor, of good and bad, of haves and have-nots as experienced in the primeval period. He and his right-winged flock have stifled civil rights, women's rights, human rights, and the environment in this very brief time of history, after 30 to 40 years of hard day-to-day labor from all groups who have opposed such oppression. We need a leader who is not afraid to stand up to the Ken Lay's of the world, charging him and his special interest group for fraud and embezzlement, and sending them to prison, like they sent millions of unknowing, retired investors, who lost everything they had worked hard for all of their lives into poverty. Where is Ken Lay and all the other CEO's who played monopoly with the lives of thousands of "real" human beings? The Homeland Security Act has taken away our rights to march in protest in the streets, to oppose a preemptive, unilateral war, to speak on the telephone, to use a computer, and to be reduced to a strip search at the airport'; yet Ken Lay remains unscathed? We need a leader who will negotiate honestly with foreign leaders for the rights of all human beings not just those occupying the West Bank but those whose lands were stolen from them. The people need to be informed why the Arab countries hold the US and Israel in contempt when one or the other has supplied the previous dictator with arms and weapons of mass destruction decades ago to get what either wanted from the masses, like arming Saddam Hussain when Iran was a threat, then waging war on Iraq, while Hussain survives in exile. We mistakenly thought the cold war was over when Mikhail Gorbachev did "take down that wall in Berlin," not to put up another one around Germany, France, or Russia like what has happened by going to war in Iraq alone without the blessings of the United Nations or of our allies, except Great Britain and Spain. Please consider running to give voters a real choice.

You have the experience to know who the real enemie are: Muslim Fundementalists, their ability to poison their young in the Madrasas schools instill hate and create suicide bombers: and some of our "allies" who have been providing financial help to Osama and his kind.

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. Harry S Truman The death-knell of the republic had rung as soon as the active power became lodged in the hands of those who sought, not to do justice to all citizens, rich and poor alike, but to stand for one special class and for its interests as opposed to the interests of others. Theodore Roosevelt It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt Just Do It Nike

Furthermore, our country is in desperate need of sane, rational and experienced leadership. We need correctly focused strength backed up with conscience and compassion. We need someone who can sift through the many and varied economic priorities that will help our culture to flourish positively and our economy to grow healthfully.

Dear General Clark, You are a candidate I can back with a whole heart . As a Texan and an independent, I want very much to replace George W. with a man of intelligence and experience. I know very well that many honest Americans, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, were disgusted by Clinton's predatory behavior concerning a young woman the age of his daughter and his selfish demand that the Democratic party back him in his refusal to relinquish the Presidency. By his behavior he stained the whole Democratic Party with his scandals. The above-mentioned Americans, some of whom were already frightened by extreme liberal elements of the Democratic Party, were stampeded into the camp of the right-wing fanatics (I shall stop short of calling them Fascists). That camp was swelled by the self-seeking industrial predators with deep pockets, and the destruction was on. PLEASE, PLEASE, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS: 1) KEEP THE CLINTONS, BOTH OF THEM, OUT OF THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. They carry too much baggage to be accepted by much of mid-stream America. The Democratic Party holds secure its most extreme people -- they have nowhere else to go. It is those middle ones who must be won. 2) PLEASE COLLECT AND DISTRIBUTE ALL THE FACTS AND BACKUP DATA FOR THOSE FACTS, CONCERNING YOUR COMMAND IN KOSOVO, ETC. The Right Wing, believing its cause is holy, also believes that the end justifies the means. They will distort, conceal, lie and steal in the name of restoring the nation to God. As a warrior, prepare thoroughly for another war now. Taking our nation back from the spoilers will not be easy. I am a retired teacher and author of textbooks, speeches and articles -- money I do not have. I have writing experience, however. That is at your disposal. Rose Williams Abilene, Texas

General Clark, you are a voice of sanity in times that have become insane. You are a voice of unity in a time when the rouge goverment of America is cutting off our friends and alliances. What has taken hundreds of years to build is being torn down within 4 years, and by the end of it we may not even have the rights necessary to start to fix it! We need someone who is not afraid to use their voice and their experience to work for what is right. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America Needs You. I realize that it is probably the most difficult job on the planet but I implore you to please run for the Presidency of the United States. I will join with many, many others in supporting your candidacy. I thank you.

Let me begin by saying that I am a registered Republican who is disenchanted by the Republican parties' policies-domestic and foreign. I voted for Gore, and considering that Bush actually lost the popular vote I feel especially betrayed by the American political system. I disagree with Bush's handling of the "War on Terror" and feel as though it is the American government that is acting as terrorists. The actions we have taken against Hussein under the guise of self-defense and the lies told to the American people to sell those actions are inexcusable. Saddam Hussein is/was a terrrible dictator and the Iraqi people do deserve better, but they also deserve better than this administration is giving them. I support our servicemen and women as much as the next red-blooded American, so it pains me to hear of their deaths and injuries. That is why they need to be fighting for better reasons than the lies of the Bush administration and behind the leadership of a more qualified and noble commander-in-chief. So please Mr. Clark, for the good of America, run for President.

General Wesley K. Clark, The Democratic Party has for too long been saddled with the image that it is not strong on national security and a committed to a stong national defense. By simply stating that you are proud to be a Democrat you have done much to blunt that criticism. Anyone who questions your patriotism or your committment to national security and national defense is doing so for purely partisan political reasons. They clearly do not understand your tremendous service to the citizens of the USA. As a Christian (and proud to be a Democrat) I feel there are certainly other issues of social justice and compassion for our brothers and sisters worldwide that should not play second fiddle to national security and national defense, but I understand the need for any candidate to have strengths in these areas. On the social justice and compassion issue it is clear that you are committed to bettering the human condition as evidenced by your statements, actions and service within the non-profit sector. I welcome and encourage your run for the Presidency of the United States in 2004. America needs a new president. One who recognizes that in the 21st century the United States of American is a great, prosperous and privileged country that in cooperation with the world community can be a force for positive change around the world. One who can view the world's richness of cultures with an air of understanding rather than an air of disgust. One who seeks to bring rogue countries into the community of nations from across the table rather than at the end of a gun. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times and is willing to make tough decisions that will undoubtedly have dramatic impact on lives and lifestyles. One who makes these decisions with the full understanding of every day Americans' abilities to sacrifice for themselves and for others to create and sustain a brighter future for all of us. I strongly feel that the United States of America is at a crossroads with the threat of the Soviet Union behind us we are now seeing our historical decisions coming home to roost. The world is not one world but the policies and actions of the US are no longer hidden from the world so it is critical that we have a President who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. There are many great and honorable individuals who are also seeking the Democratic Party nomination for the Presidency of the United States and I encourage you to highlight the differences with them with that knowledge and understanding. The Democratic Party can encourage and support a wide range of opinions and not collapse on itself. General Clark, America truly needs you. Please run for president. Sincerely, K.D. Cluts

General Clark, I have never felt more inspired than I am today. The fact that there is finally a serious military man running for the Democratic ticket for president warms my heart. General, we need a man who knows how to conduct effective foreign policy; who truly has had experience in the military and who will be able to balance foreign plicy with domestic concerns. You, sir, are the only choice we have to lead America. As an ROTC cadet, I am excited that you are considering running against Bush. Please declare soon so that we can get the march to White House started. God bless you and God bless America!

Most of the 50 states are already suffering badly from Bush's Fast Deal foreign policy and also his New Federal Math. Here's how it works. The president slashes federal taxes, thus sending the national deficit over $500 billion (a record) only three years after we were showing a healthy surplus; he says this tax relief, the biggest chunk of which goes to the wealthiest Americans, will jump-start the economy by prompting the business community to create scads of new jobs. (Instead, since his inauguration in January 2001, the nation has lost nearly 3 million jobs.) Then, soon after 9-11, he orders our armed forces to be prepared to destroy all enemies, and more recently lays out $87 billion for just next year to subdue and reconstruct only two of these countries where terrorists and others who don't like us are trying to kill us. He describes as "allies" in that same region such nations as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan that do little or nothing to halt the flow of money and other assistance from sympathizers within their borders to those trying to kill us. And, finally, he and his loyalists inform our 50 state governments that they will be losing substantial federal funds because "we are at war" and Washington has its hands full and every good American should appreciate this and not complain because that will only give aid and comfort to the enemy. The president mentioned the word "sacrifice" in his latest speech to the nation, but it was vague and unspecific, leaving one to wonder if it applies only to military personnel and the unwealthy. This administration is disconnected with reality, and Bush thinks he is the Wizard of Oz behind the magic curtain. He is turning this country into the same mess as Texas, but what would you expect from an AWOL lying cowboy wannabe? The Bush legacy: rob the U.S. Treasury for his rich buddies, and let all 50 states be flushed down the toilet. This is nothing more than a scam, and these con-artists in charge need to be brought up on charges by the do-nothing congress! America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark I live on $900 a month and the value of that is shrinking almost daily. I cannot send money for your campaign but even though I am a Republican, I have volunteered at the Democratic headquarters to help with your campaign if you run. I hope that being in the military has given you the compassion and wisdom to know that human lives & limbs are not expendable for the political whims and agendas of our elected officials. I for one will always believe that 9/11 could have been prevented but was not because of the Iraq agenda. I'm hoping with your military experience you feel the horror of taking any life that is not absolutely necessary.

Dear General Clark, I am a proud Canadian and have no official say in the affairs of the United States. I am smart enough to realize that the leader of the United States has more power and influence than any other person on the face of the universe. From everything that I have read and seen, it appears to me that you are a man of integrity, intelligence, and true courage. You are the only candidate who could defeat the incumbent weasel that currently occupies the White House. In the past your country has stood up for liberty and justice, however it is now an oppresive and tyrannous oligarchy that is wreaking havoc upon the rest of the world. The United States needs your leadership. The world needs your leadership. Please run for the presidency. All of us need a man like you to lead us through this dark time in the world's history.

What has happened to my country? This campaign needs a fresh new voice to represent the millions of Americans who feel that America has made a drastic wrong turn under this administration. General Clark you are that voice! America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, Since my first letter encouraging you to run for president, I have been watchin and listening to your interviews whenever possible. I continue to be impressed with your straightforward and sensible answers and ideas. I truly feel you would be a candidate I could support fully. You have definitely increased my enthusiasm for your candidacy should your decide to run, and I continue to tell others about your possible candidacy. Once again I encourage you to run for president. Respectfully, Jim Hirschfield

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. Our country is in danger, not only from external enemies, but from internal ones. George Bush is a divider. He has divided our country and is now bent on dividing us from our allies. His penchant for secrecy in carrying out domestic policy poses greater dangers to our form of government than any terrorist. His "with us or against us" policies are fascist in conception and fearsome in practice. We need a uniter, a man who is president for the people, not just the wealthy. We need a man who can think for himself and sees the world clearly. We need a man who will gain friends for our country and, in doing so, destroy the terrorist base by destroying their domestic support. In short, I think we need you. Run, damn it!

Dear General Clark, I must admit that running for President of this nation would be the last thing I would want to do. The relentless observation by the media and the bitter and unscrupulous attacks put forth by one's political opponents make it a daunting undertaking to say the least. Yet, as a very patriotic and concerned citizen I must urge you to run despite the difficulty of the task before you. It is my feeling that our extraordinary nation is in great, great danger at this juncture in its history. Of course, we live in a dangerous world during difficult times. Now, as always, we are at risk from outside forces who hate our freedom and our prosperity and would love to see us fall. However, I am much more concerned at this time for the risks our nation faces from within. Our people are kept in a constant climate of fear, our current leadership is the very segment of our population that is the most bereft of morality and any belief that the greater good for the greater number should take precedence. Our government is being run by CEO's and armchair warriors who would risk all that we are as a nation and the lifeblood of our children merely to enrich themselves. Abraham Lincoln said that a house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe that our current leadership has made us that divided house General, at risk is our freedom, our economy, our ideals, and our environment, can we endure such losses? What would be left to protect? Through these abhorent Patriot Acts, our current Attorney General is determined to remove our freedoms and privacy. In the name of so called security, he would dismantle our constitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms. These freedoms were written and upheld throughout these two centuries by the blood of our brave citizens from Lexington to Normandy to Bagdad. Our soldiers have given their all to protect the freedoms our leadership now seems so ready to give away. I know, as our soldiers did, that the only real security we have is in the integrity of our Constitution. Will you bring us home to that Constitution? As Tom Paine told our Revolutionary soldiers so long ago, freedom is a celestial and ephemeral gift. It was not acquired with ease and it cannot be maintained with apathy. Our Founders risked their all to institue an experiment in government that rested on the hope that man could rise to the heights of idealism, courage and integrity necessary to defend and maintain it. I am asking you to rise to those heights now and step forward into a candidacy and presidency that has the potential to renew the original covenant our government made with its people. There is no question that you have already done your part to serve this nation so my request is unfair, but I make it anyway because in my eyes you are the man we need to lead us out of the darkness of these troubled times. I dream of an America were the foundation of our foreign policy is to promote the same freedom and human rights abroad that we would hope for ourselves at home. I dream of an America who leads the world in supporting a new economic and industrial foundation based on sustainablility and environmental sanity. I dream of an America were like the Iroquois Nation on whom we modeled our government, we actually consider the impact of our present decisions on the seven generations to follow. I dream of an America that is not riddled with secret deals, pay-offs, and corporate puppet masters of our political structures. I dream of an America that walks its talk and lives by its creeds both at home and in the world, and lets its own people know what it is doing, as you said a "transparent government" unafraid to be viewed in the sunlight. I am a true American idealist whose ancestor was a General in the Revolution and a member of the Committes of Correspondence. I believe in the Spirit of this nation birthed by other idealists like myself so long ago. I am heartbroken at the direction our leadership is taking us. It is a road on whick all we value could be lost. Please run for President and lead us back to our orignal ideals. Please lift us back to the greatness that lies as a dormant potential within us. We could be so much better than we are, how short our time on Earth to serve and do good. Please run for President and bring us home to our hope, our courage and our integrity. With great admiration and respect I remain, Gayle S. Myers, Santa Fe, N.M.

Dear General Clark, The American people NEED a candidate like you. I am horrified at the direction Bush is taking us. I have read your positions on the major issues, and I think it represents the better path. I'm "putting my money where my mouth is", as the draft movement puts it. But, my pledge represents the MINIMUM that I feel I can afford (just don't want to make a promise I can't keep). AND, I even donated to the draft movement. This is the first time in my life that I have donated to any national race, but I truly believe that horrors such as the Patriot Act have put our nation at another critical juncture. Please make the attempt. Having a republic does us no good, when we have no acceptable choices. Paraphrasing something I recall dimly from school 40 years ago: '"...what kind of government have we? A republic, gentlemen, if you can keep it..."

Dear Wesley Clark: I will not refer to you as "General", since you are NO LONGER in the military. Using your "rank" in front of your name, just shows that you "think" you are more important then anyone else. As a 21 year military veteran, I see you as a disaster waiting to happen. A military man you may be, but JFK and Reagan you are not. If you know you can run the country better then anyone else currently in the race, then get off your duff and throw you hat in the ring. Quit doing the "Hillary" and keep putting off your declaration to run for President. The Democrat field already has 9 boring candidates, you might as well join them. Perhaps it will brighten up the show. Like I said Mr. Clark, if you think you can do better, get in there. Otherwise just sit back and keep quiet. Larry Whitehurst. USAF, Msgt Retired.

-------THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!-----NEW YORK TIMES SURVEY SHOWS REPUBLICANS WANT DEAN....ARE UNEASY ABOUT THE GENERAL------This substantiates all of the calls for the Dean fanatics to get out of the way and make room for the General. Get out of the General's way and off of his grassroots website for his PRESIDENCY. Some feared John Kerry, others John Edwards, because his personality wears well over time, and others even Bob Graham, because he can carry Florida, more than Dean. As their colleague Bill McInturff put it atop a memo on the Dean surge: "Happy Days Are Here Again (for Republicans)." "Which is why so many Republicans are quietly gleeful over Dean's continued momentum. It is only the dark cloud of Wesley Clark, looming on the horizon, that keeps their happiness from being complete."

I'm forwarding the email my father wrote in General Clark's support that convinces me to ask him to run for President. We need you. Jennifer Dubrow Dear friends, family, and even you intermittent acquaintances! I¹m writing to ask you to consider former General Wesley Clark as the best Democratic candidate for President. I¹m asking you to write to him to urge him to run. In order to combat my despair over the damage done by the Bush administration, some time ago I decided to actively evaluate all the potential Democratic candidates for the presidency. Although almost any Democrat would be better than Bush, and although I really like Howard Dean, in my gut I just don¹t think any of the declared candidates (including Dean) can beat Bush. I worked for George McGovern¹s campaign in 1972, so I already know what it feels like to be right...and to be trounced in the election. If possible, I¹d don¹t want to experience that again. And I doubt you want that, either. So I researched....and, much to my own complete surprise, my research led me to the Draft Wesley Clark campaign. Why General Clark? For several reasons: First, unlike Bush, Clark is a real military hero, one who knows war and therefore knows when it is right and when it is wrong to fight, and what the real costs are. Clark led an international coalition (NATO) in the successful campaign to oust the Serbian dictator Milosovec. Bush & Co. will never be able to successfully denigrate him as a ³wimp.² Yet Clark was an early and vocal critic of the war in Iraq. His opposition to this war was reasoned and principled, and unlike many other Democratic candidates, he had the guts to say so even when it was extremely unpopular to say it. (Sadly, just about all of his predictions about Iraq have come true.) I believe General Clark--with his successful track record as a warrior with wisdom who knows how to work with the international community--has the best chance of leading the U.S. out of the mess in Iraq by putting the fate of Iraq in the hands of the Iraqis, and involving the international community in its reconstruction as a truly sovereign and free state (i.e., not an American colony). Clark, unlike Bush, knows the price of nationalism run amok. Clark, unlike Bush, doesn¹t have a cadre of war profiteers just waiting to make billions from the ³reconstruction² of Iraq. Clark, unlike Bush, is not an imperialist. Second, and of equal importance, Clark is a social and domestic progressive. He is a vocal, and unflinching, advocate for reproductive rights and woman's choice. He is opposed to drilling in the Arctic. He filed an amicus brief in support of the University of Michigan¹s affirmative action program. He is opposed to Bush¹s tax giveaway to the rich. And he had the guts to be an early opponent of the ironically-named ³Patriots² Act. Third, unlike the other ³mainstream² Democratic candidates for President, he is not tainted by having voted to give Bush carte blanche in Iraq, or with our civil liberties. He did not waffle in his criticism of the war. During the height of the America¹s love affair with the war in Iraq, he appeared on national television with film director Michael Moore. This was just after Moore had appeared on the Oscars and made his now-famous anti-Bush comments, which resulted in vicious attacks and even calls for Moore¹s exile. Clark had the courage to commend Moore for keeping the debate alive! This act earned Moore¹s written and public gratitude and respect. Clark graduated first in his class at West Point, holds a graduate degree, and was a Rhodes Scholar. Wouldn't it be nice to have a President who could actually speak intelligently again? Who would have something saner and more eloquent to say than "Bring 'em on!" Fourth--and perhaps most importantly--from articles I¹ve read, Clark is the only potential candidate that keeps the Bush re-election team up at nights with fear and worry. Clark has integrity. He is a progressive. He was right about Iraq. He is one of the few candidates who can face down Bush¹s militaristic machismo and "Middle America" will have a tough time believing any attempt on Bush's part to claim he is a "wimp." I think he is the only Democrat who can beat Bush. I say let¹s all deny Bush and his cronies sleep for the next 14 months! I¹m not asking you to give money to the Draft Clark campaign. I¹m not even asking you to commit yourself to vote for him. I¹m asking you to look into this potential candidate. You owe it to yourself to find out about General Clark by logging onto and reviewing https://www.draftwesleyclark.com Check him out. Think about the real possibility that maybe we DON¹T have to live through a second term under Emporer Nero/Bush, watching him log still more vacation time while the rest of the world burns down around him. Then, if you at least think we should have the choice to vote for Clark in the upcoming Democratic primaries, please urge him to go for it. Just visit https://www.draftwesleyclark.com send Wesley Clark a message -- tell him to run for the Democratic presidential nomination.

General Clark, Please Run! You are the only Democrat in the country who can unseat George Bush and his mountains of money. If you believe you can do a better job, you owe it to America to throw your hat into the ring. Your country is calling on you one more time!

General Clark, I would encourage you to run but want to state up front my belief that media coverage of your announcement, should that come to pass, may be hijacked by Rove and his minions. This has been SOP for these Mayberry Machiavellis and I feel that the Kay report on WMD (or lack of) is being withheld for the date of your announcement. If not that report, then something else will be rolled out by the White House to try to sidetrack attention from your possible announcement. They are rightly afraid of someone of your caliber running for the White House and will do everything they can to distract attention from your candidacy. This means, obviously, that it will be harder for you to gain traction. I could be wrong. I could be a little paranoid. I could be telling you something you already know. But, I just wanted to be sure I told someone who might be able to make a difference to ensure that you are prepared for such an event. We are all headed in the wrong direction and desperately need to make sure this administration is limited to four years. My father is a retired Navy Chaplain (28 years) and was firmly in the Bush camp as late as spring of this year. He has had now changed his mind and seems to reject everything this administration puts forth. However, he doesn't know who to support and someone with your standing, intelligence, history and apparent goodwill could go a long way to winning the hearts and minds of those straddling the fence right now - including me. I feel that other nominees for the Democratic ticket would be much more respectful of your candidacy than other rivals which could give you a window to make sure that those who are running are aiming squarely at the White House and not each other. This is important because above all else, we need to make sure that rampant theft, prevarication, and favor cannot see the light of day in our government after we rid ourselves of these Nixon throwbacks running the administration.

General Clark, The actions you have taken throughout your life demonstrate a love of America and an understanding of the ideas upon which she was founded. You have shown dedication to this country and its future, not only by serving in the armed forces and working with her allies but also by Òfostering the debate about AmericaÕs futureÓ through the organization ÒLeadership For AmericaÓ (www.leadershipforamerica.org). America needs a President, who will uphold The Constitution, represent the interests of its citizens and be an active member in the international community. America is in need of genuine leadershipÉAmerica is in need of you.

Among other things, I am a college student at a state university, an indepedent thinker that just so happens to side with the Democratic party platform the majority of the time, the citizen of an historically Republican voting state, a moral person, an eagle scout, the son of a federal government employee, a friend of many persuadable voters, I, myself, am a diligent voter and am more than willing and ready to volunteer to serve your campaign at a moment's notice. I wholeheartedly believe, after weeks of constant debate watching and late nights on websites, that you AND ONLY YOU can and will prevail over our current leader if you decide to run. As I am sure that you have heard thousands of times by now, it is time for the Democratic party to run a candidate for guys like me. Never have I believed in a candidate as much or even close to as much as I do in you. By my count, over the last week, I have convinced at least 10 people to back you over anyone else. Even my hardcore Republican friends are giving you serious consideration. Please do not make me give my first presidential vote to the lesser of two evils. We believe in you General Clark. Please do not let us down.

Dear General Clark I write this letter urging you to run for President of the United States. I am a single, educated, professional woman over 40 who's afraid she won't have a candidate to vote for a little over a year from now. General Clark I have been listening when you speak and your voice is the one that gives me hope. It gives me hope because I hear common sense. I hear focus. I hear intelligence. I hear respect. I hear a man who understands security and the value good friends bring in seeking that security. General Clark, I hear what I don't hear from the current administration, and I hear what I don't hear from nine current Democratic candidates. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. And please bring former Ambassador Holbrooke along for the ride.

I believe that no president in our nation's history has ever had so much contempt for the American people as George W. Bush. So I'm going to support you no matter what. Still, I'd love to know you're the kind of guy who doesn't play games. Let's get it on. Rick Stein PS Edwards should be your VP. I personally like Dean better, but I'm not sure he'd be the best choice. You really need to think about this one. Good luck.

I have *never* sent money to a political candidate, but I have pledged to send you a donation if you run. Your honorable and impressive miltary record along with your reasonable social views would appeal to most Americans and would, after four terrible years, put our country on the right track. *Please* run for the office of president. Even after all your amazing years of military service, your country needs you more than ever. Sincerely, Jason DeBord

General Clark, These past 2 years have been extremely trying for myself and undoubtedly, for all Americans. What has made it most difficult for me, and many people that I know, is the fact that this country lacks quality leadership. I love my country and its people, but I wont stand for another four years of the Bush administration misleading the public, ignoring the needs of poor and middle class Americans, waging war unreasonably and irresponsibly, and turning the US into a vilified bully in the world community. I refuse to be cowed by their fearmongering. I refuse to live in ignorance of what really happens in my country and abroad. I refuse to have mine and others freedom and dignity stolen by dishonest powerbrokers. I want you to run for president because you sound like a man of great integrity, reason, honesty, and courage. I would happily support you as a Democratic presidential candidate and I look forward to a day when it will be possible for me to work WITH the leaders of our nation, instead of AGAINST them as I feel like I'm doing now. America has amazing potential, not only within and of itself, but as a respected and thoughtful guest at the world's table. Thanks for your time and your bravery, Greg Maurer (now back to the website script) One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, The past three years of Bush' presidency have shown that America needs a president that not only has the credentials to rule the free world as the leader of America but also the ability and compassion to relate to the U.S. citizens. With the unemployement rate increasing and the war in Iraq becoming more compicated, the American citizens need someone to step up, take control, and not only bring a reliable military force to the middle east but also provide the social state supported by the Democratic party to the majority of American people. Good Luck with your quest for President!! Jack Lofton

I just read Michael Moore's letter to you. I am interested and many people I know are interested in what you have to offer. I am so saddened, disgusted, and infuriated by Bush and what we as a country have allowed him to do to us and to other people in the world. I'm 43 and keep asking, "Where are the 'adults' in this world who will make things right?!" Michael Moore said we need someone with "guts." I agree. With all due respect, I ask for you to be open, to listen, to fight honorably, and to speak out boldly. I will support you. Peter M.

I do support our boys in fight against terrorism but will not stand for going to war on a pretext. North Korea's nuclear development in my estimation had more risk then Iraq's Saddam Hussein who could have been contained. Today, we need a President who is soldier, a scholar, a diplomatand a gentlemen that isthe tradition of our armed forces. Hope you decide to run as we have millions who need to believe that a leader will lead us during this turbulent times to peace not more wars.

Dear General Clark, It is with tears welling up inside that I reach out to you in a blind hope that what I say might reach your eyes and Influence you to take what could be the biggest step of your life, into a battle where the stakes are as high as any other battle you have served in or studied. I am a Green Party voter tried and true, and I'll go to bat for you with every left wing California Voter I meet if you step up to the plate. (it won't be easy, there are many who will balk at the idea of a military man at the helm) I first saw you on one of the Media monopolies, Day two or three of the invasion of Iraq, and I could see your mind ticking, "in the zone," full of concern, almost completely understanding the situation with a tiny picture of the totality, and aware of the stakes of war in a way that few ever will be. I am asking you to make a sacrifice that I am not sure I would be willing to make, to challenge a wild beast that is out of control- and there is a lot of money in the world with an interest in seeing this beast to finish off the china shop, and move out into the china factory. I am not of the school of thought that Our current administration is evil, as many americans are. I just know that sometimes it is terribly difficult for people to see the true ramifications of their behavior, and some people have issues with this in our capitol (or is it capital) right now. Please General Clark, You just might be the only American with a chance to sideline the current players in a very unbalanced game of global russian roulette. I will fight for you if you will fight for the reinstitution of our constitution, and work to cut up the nation's credit cards. As to debt, I've got a great payment plan-Tax Polluters and Waste Generators. Remove subsidies on timber, coal, oil, and nuclear fuel. Not only do you have my vote, I'll get you votes from everyone I can. Sincerely, For our Children, Run for president.

Dear General Clark, Please enter the 2004 presidential campaign and please do it soon! I, like many of my follow citizens have cringed throughout the last three years. Cringed at the behavior and decisions being made on my behalf by the Bush administration. Cringed at the way I'm being represented to the rest of the world. Cringed at the way I'm being represented at the federal level(mostly not represented at all) within this great republic. I'm tired of having to apologize to my friends and family who are not American citizens and I'm tired of feeling like I have to watch my back or lose basic rights, that according to founding doctine of this nation are "self-evident truths." I live and work in Portland, Oregon, and also offer assistance and support- both personally and financially to any grass-roots efforts you establish in Oregon. You are most likely the only candidate who can beat the Bush machine, and although I have an immense amount of respect for fellow democratic candidates, should you announce your intent to make a run for president in 2004, I will firmly stand behind you. Truly, Elise Bouneff

OK, I wrote once before. That email/letter was lengthy and articulate. This one is not. Please run. You've just got to run. I've hear you say that Iraq and Al-Queda were not connected until we launched the very war allegedly started to separate them. This is, of course, true. But most people still don't know this. Most people actually believe that Saddam Hussein was connected to 9/11!!! And why do they believe this? Because of the mendacity and cyncism employed by our President in manipualting the public. And who can most effectively disabuse them of this fictitious notion? You can. I've heard you do it. In these perilous times, people want to be safe, so they're affraid of throwing out our current commander-in-chief. But they will trust you. They will trust you when you say we need to be hunting the terrorists who acted against us, not invading countries that didn't. They will trust you when you say that your approach to fighting terrorism will make America more secure, as opposed to Bush's, which is making us less. You're appeal will range from the left to the center. Easy. And, QED, you will defeat George Bush. You've just got to run. We have to get our country back. We need some decency in government. We're tired of the lies, the corruption, the special-halliburton interests. And we need, very simply, some principled persons with common sense. That's you. Please, please run.

General Clark, I have written you before, but implore you to run. I am afraid that our country is at a crossroads, and the choice we make this coming year will determine whether we move forward to a greater future for AMerica, or oblivion. I am afraid if the policies of the current administration is continued, the latter is more likely than the former. Please run

The spirit of America can be summed up in the phrase "Freedom of Opportunity", the ability that all people when the apply themsleves; no matter what race, religion, or gender, has the ability to advance themselves. From Benjamin franklin to Thomas Jefferson to even our former president Bill Clinton, Each had the ability to make something of them self. However, this Founding Principal of the American society is consistently being chipped away at. No longer can a poor farmer's son grow up to become our teachers, Doctors, lawyers, and yes even President, due to the raising costs it take to enroll in college, and the amounrt of education they recieve in Public schools. Instead of building a foundation on Education, money is being deplentished in an remarkable fast pace. The money for Education is being handed over to the remarkably wealthy, to sustain thier "Normal" life after 9-11 when the "normal" life of average American's has changed drastically. In 2000 my Mom a college professor of 8 years was laid off due to the decline in enrollment to the college in which she taought, since than we have been barely able to meet ends-meat. a college education which was onec oin my grips was ripped from my arms, infact right now I have no clue where I can go to college, due to my current finacial situation, I just pray that God will open away for me... Mr. Clark I ask that you would consider a bid for President not for me or the countless other letters but for all those americans who dared to dream but than was denied... do it for the countless Americans whos every day grow deeper into debt... do it for America the America that thousands of Men and Women have fought and died to keep a dream alive.

General Clark, I have already sent a letter like this to you through this website, but I wish to add weight to the sentiment that your potential candidacy excites me as a patriotic American. For so long, Democrats have suffered the slings and arrows of a small-minded media controlled by a thoughtless opposition. I believe you are the candidate who can rejuvente the Democratic Party and restore a sense of dignity and intelligence to the White House. I pledge to be a vociferous supporter and campaigner for you. I have not been politically active for several elections, but I believe you would be a fantastic leader of this great nation. You have the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. You have publicly set the standard over the past year and personally throughout your career. Please stand up for us. Make our nation proud. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Since you seem to be considering announcing your candidacy for President, I am writing to implore you to do so. You are obviously a man of vision, integrity, ethics, who I believe can bring what is sacred back into our country. Everything that is sacred is being systematically ruiined by Bush and his companions. I believe that you are currently the only man who can beat him. PLEASE help us save our country.

The Draft Clark website relates one of Clark's positions on firearms... " Guns: Clark has implied that gun ownership is primarily a local issue. He also believes that assault weapons should be banned for the general public, stating, "people who like assault weapons they should join the United States Army, we have them." (CNN's Crossfire, 06/25/03)" It is clear that Clark has no clue what the Founding Fathers intended concerning the individual right to keep and bear arms. I suggest he read the Federalist Papers, starting with the words of Alexander Hamilton in Federalist #29 and ending with the words of the person who drafted the Second Amendment, James Madison in Federalist #45 and 46. Clark is a government-knows-best statist. Rick

I'm a semi-retired senior and veteran. I am heartsick at what has happened to our once-glorious nation. Only someone with your character, ethics, intelligence and courage can lead us from this abyss. I have just pledged $50. to your campaign, a small amount only because I've been without work for several months. I have talked several friends into pledgeing to your campaign. I'll pledge more right after you declare. My ethical lawyer (yes, there are a few of them left) pledged $1,000. as a surprise to me. You can expect 10s of 1000s to do the same. Please, Wesley Clark, Run! Perhaps as a team with Howard Dean? America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times.

Hello General Clark, I think you should get into the race as the Democratic candidate for President! Why not?? It sure would be a great experience and challenge. Besides, our country needs a real leader. We have suffered too much damage with Bush and co. at the reigns. You would bring a new light of leadership and hope to our country, and help us to regain our sense of what our country is all about: freedom, respect for ourselves and for others, and basic rights. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Thanks for your time.

Sir: Are you for real? I apologize for asking this cynical question, but I'm sure many moderate/centrist Americans have asked the same. You see, for three years we have wondered, lost in a desert wasteland of pseudo-patriotism, corporate giveaways of lands ALL Americans own, blatant self-interest, secrecy, cynical manipulation, double-talk, and outright lies from our current leadership. I look at your credentials and stances and wonder if you truly are an oasis of decency and common sense or just a mirage conjured up by Karl Rove to taunt us. I hope and pray the former case is the truth. I can understand your reluctance to run for President; next to giving up one's life, it's probably the greatest sacrifice a person can make. I don't need to warn you about the innuendoes, half-truths and worse which have dissuaded many good people from running. Please rest assured that most of us can see through those tactics; those who can't will vote for George W. Bush's re-election anyway. And as bad as his first term has been, a second term is likely to be worse (as second terms often are even with good presidents). So on behalf of all Americans who care about our country and are increasingly alarmed about the direction in which it is heading, PLEASE announce your candidacy for President of the United States this week. Millions will stand behind you; the nation and the world need you. Thanks.

Dr. Mr. Clark: I am a middle class father of 2 small children and am genuinely frightened about the future of our society in the USA. I have carefully thought through the upcoming election scenario and concluded that you, AND ONLY YOU can divert us from the terrible path we are on. My premise: I believe most of our problems, present and future, emanate from deterioration of integrity and civility in our government, and the co-opting of government and other public institutions (e.g., press) by entities that have no "public interest" agenda - only a "private interest agenda. YOU are clearly committed to improving conditions for the whole nation, and your actions (not just your words) will demonstrate that to voters. My assessment of the public: One thing voters hate the most is the smell of bullshit from their candidates. People have a real distaste for a slick salesman - they are looking for a serious leader. Although Gore was the better candidate, and surely would have been a better leader, his poor self-presentation made people doubt who he really was and what he was about. Although a couple of the other candidates look good to voters on the issues, they “smell” like salesmen and are easily dismissed by voters. YOU and only you have the air of integrity and substance that cannot be diluted by slick GOP advertising. You haven't the faintest whiff of bullshit. As one who comes from a family of laborers (who incidentally were Reagan Democrats), I can't emphasize enough the importance of this issue for the "average Joe". People don't know what to believe because they are adrift in a haze of pre-fabbed media images and commercials. Those who are not yet mesmerized by GWs mystique will be drawn like magnets to a solid rock like you. Many of those who are mesmerized will begin to wake from their stupor. (I am a psychologist/researcher and thus not prone to make definitive statements from the gut, but all that I know about people, their motivations, attitudes etc tell me clearly that you will have a major impact on voter attitudes toward GW – When they see GW standing next to you it will be crystal clear to them that he is a TV image, and that you are the real thing.) They are also confused by what is going on internationally and the emerging status of our nation as the giant who is feared but increasingly not respected. They need someone who can put our situation in historical and geopolitical perspective. You and only you can provide them with a perspective - in plain language and without sounding like an ideologue. You sound somewhat dispassionate when you talk about these things - other candidates just sound like angry liberals who will scare away those in the center. YOU and only you can draw away those republicans who already doubt the GW Cartel. I don’t need to tell you that we are approaching one of the few major pivot points in US history (and probably in the history of democracy) what happens in this election will probably make or break our fragile democracy. Please take the torch, step into the ring, and give us a chance to get back on the path toward a civil and just society. With utmost sincerity, Charles Izzo, Ph.D. Father, homeowner, citizen p.s. FYI, I am a leftist who voted for Nader and who thinks Kucinich is right on most issues (though I’m not sure how well he would govern) – I had been debating between supporting Kucinich as a protest or supporting John Edwards (b/c I think he’d be a good fighter and American’s will really respond to good fight). But I dropped them all in a second when I heard about you. I know others more left than myself who also shifted support to you. himself although this has eroded the foundations of our democracy in recent decades

Dear General Clark, I met you briefly in Panama, in the winter of 1997, when you visited a small rural community - where I was serving as a Peace Corps volunteer - to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony for an American-funded public works project. We had a short conversation before the ceremony, and I was unusually impressed by the intelligence and kindness you conveyed, even in that strange setting. When I heard recently that you were considering a run for the presidency, my first reaction was one of relief. This coming election will be a defining event in many respects, but none more so than for international diplomacy. Despite the apparent vulnerability of President Bush, the Democrats have fielded a lackluster slate of candidates. I urge you to add your name to the top of this list. I have no doubt that others will instantly recognize the same qualities of leadership that I did in one brief moment, many years ago, in the middle of a small field in Panama. Yaron Glazer

General Clark, I just read that you are having a meeting tomorrow in Little Rock with your political team and that you have already made a decision regarding a run for the presidency. This sure looks like a "yes" to me. I can't wait for your announcement. You are going straight to the top of all of the Democratic candidates running and I cannot wait for your first debate with George W. Bush. It will be a laugher!! I anxiously await your announcement and if it is anything but a "yes" run for the White House I will be shocked and severely disapponted. I will support you in any way I possibly can. God Bless you!! America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

With you on the ticket, we have a chance to win. In these uncertain times, we need leader with a certain vision for a democratic America. Please do not let our alliances be destroyed by a rude and arrogant President. America must be a positive voice in the world forum; I believe you will speak with dignity, rightousness and compassion.

General ClarK: I have listened to you on TV, read some of your writings and am impressed by what you might offer this country as President. You seemed to have the "right stuff" and not reluctant to offer ideas. We are at a very critical time and "ballisy" leadership is required. That doesn't imply doing things just to show you can do them but making the right decisions to change the direction of our country. We need to turn our "ship" sharply to the left or we will soon be not any different then other fundamentalist countries we're opposing. The question is not that King George must go but who will replace him! No one has "jumped" out of the field of nine and you could be that spark who could show the way. It is asking and hoping a lot that YOU are what I and others wish you to be but what matters is someone who can speak nonpolitical talk and attract those people who just don't understand what's happening and are damn afraid! We need someone who won't wrap himself in the flag and say "I'm a patriot" but say it is OK to question what has been going on. King George and his court are not what they say they are and more like Prince Machiavelli, who says what we want to hear but does the opposite. I'm Chairman of my company and understand how good these tax cuts are for me but how much they play to the right's agenda of reducing government benefits to those less fortunate than me. We need that tax program revised immediately and reduce the burden for the middle and less fortunate of us. Medicare and Society Security benefits must not be reduced in the coming years. We must take back the government [can be done] and the stop legislators from taking the "pork" for their own people....mostly to help them continue to be reelected. [there are a lot of changes needed but they start with a leader at the top]. On and on I could go but needless to say I support your entering the race for President. I will listen carefully to what you say and how you say it. If what I hear continues to be what I hopefully think it to be, I'll beat the drums loudly for General Wesley Clark for President! Best wishes, Bill Higgins

You cannot wait any longer. We need someone who can stir our spirits and minds. It just happens that you are the one my mother and workmates and friends believe in and would stand behind. I think you're fine and agree with your policy positions but haven't heard you speak so don't yet understand their passionate support. Your background's bleak on domestic issues so I hope you get a great VP for those but we need you to fix the international mess Bush Jr. has gotten us into. We need a good talker who can put dipolomacy out front. We need an international leader with moral stature. I'm sorry because the job's a killer and will ruin your life but we do need you to start campaigning NOW. We'll be behind you. Thank you.

The Bush administration spends $1 billion a year trying to polish the United States' image around the world, yet polls show anti-Americanism rising to record levels, especially in Muslim and Arab nations where the government is concentrating its efforts. Guess that means that the Bush/Cheney payoff isn't working anywhere now, and the lies are not believed either here or abroad! America needs a new president.

Wesley, I have been contemplating for some time now, exactly what to write here. Whether, this letter actually reaches you at this late stage of the game is beyond me. I'm not so sure if the makers of this site can actually calculate the odds either, perhaps it is .0001 percent - but I've never played the odds, so I figure I'll type away. I figure I'll add another point of view because I believe I might actually make a difference. We are funny people, people who believe we can make a difference in this world, people who stand up against oppression, people who step forward when we are needed. I almost have to believe in multiple dimensions because of that fact, because as you and I know - there is but a raiser's edge where we must decide the decision inside of the "whether." Whether I will jerk the wheel and turn the car in the opposite direction to tell her I love her. Whether I will turn the other cheek in the middle of a beratement, and respond back with words of kindness, rather than hate. Whether I will take the leap into the great abyss below and splash loudly into the water, or walk away into the rest of a summer day. We are defined in as much as what we do along the way as to what we do not do as well. Life is funny that way. We are always deciding things, turning this way, turning that way. Smiling, frowning, laughing, crying. You've been endorsed by hundreds of people, it seems as soon as the press caught onto the story, the pundits came calling. The Post, CNN, Fox News, Moore, Franken, even Brooks had a little bit of a plug for you in today's Times. I have a little advice for you, all these voices, all of these messages, influences around you - ignore them all. That's right, shut the door, and close your eyes and ask yourself, whether. Whether: You make a difference? You are able to lead this nation? You are qualified? You have the courage? These are questions that you need to find the answers to inside of your own heart Wesley, we believe we know these answers - for us it is much more simple. Yet, we are defined by all of these small decisions that have been adding up to create this "life" as we know it. Your path has been leading you to this day for your entire life. It is now time to awake the nation that will step forward with you, with fury in our hearts we have been awaiting this moment - "whether" you will sound that call. I took this step, and I'm but a few clicks away from sending my humble words in your direction. We will be waiting. Yours, Alexis E. Santi

Dear General Clark, I have been reading a lot about the possibilty you will decide to run for president on the Democratic ticket. I am writing to tell you I believe you are the person for the job and would support your candidacy and vote for you. I have recently returned to my native Minnesota after spending many years in rural Alaska. I see a great need to do more than pay lip service to leaving no child left behind. I also think senior citizens should not have to go out of the country to purchase thier persciption drugs. This is a great country and I consider myself a patriot even if I also consider myself a liberal person. I think you would be the kind of leader this country needs. Please run for president. Don't give in an run with Govenor Dean. At least not at this point. See where a run on your own will take you. Thank you, Gloria Link Eagan, Minnesota

So . . . it's great news that you'll attract the enthusiastic support of Michael Moore and the like. But the winning tactic--and the approach which makes you the most dangerous candidate--is to bring out the best parts of the American CENTER. Please do! To Amy Sullivan's advice in "Do the Democrats Have a Prayer," add in the insightful brief analysis by David Brooks, "Republicans for Dean" in today's NYT. Play on the themes of civic idealism which Bush played early in his tenure, and give us some *substance* behind them! (Please.) This civic idealism (including common decency and neighborliness) is an important sub-theme which is ready and waiting to become dominant, if a leader can bring out the best of our sentiments (religious, non-religious, and otherwise) while alienating neither the reasonable anti-abortionist nor other defenders of traditional families. For that matter, you might be surprised whom you'd pick up, including lots of my technical college students, by adding "fair trade" and a defense of US industry and family farming to your internationalism. That might buck the current party structure, but this is where the people's energy is tending! Again, I say, God speed!

America needs a new president. One who has the experience in national security to win the election against Bush. He's irresponsibly taking this country into dangerous waters and refusing to listen to anyone who disagrees with him. He is very dangerous for this country and we need someone with strong enough experience to win against him. I don't see anyone else in the running who I think will win. Please run.

America needs a new president like we've NEVER needed one in our history. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I have heard several of your interviews, and literally wept with relief to hear someone of your obvious credentials re-affirming my own belief that the Iraqi War was totally misguided. I grew up in a military family -- and that's why the Bush brand of kneejerk mindless aggression done in name of "patriotism" is especially offensive. And I pray for the service men & women he has put in harms way through his blind ignorance. I am proud of to be an American and ashamed of our current administration. I agree with the positions you state on this web site, and I look forward to supporting your candidacy! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I come from military family. My father graduated from West Point in 1942 and my brother from the USNA in 1967. I left the "family party" and joined the Democratic Party in 1979 when I graduated from Davidson College. I have never known a military leader who I agree with on every issue. You are a total inspiration to me and give me enormous hope. I want to read everything you have written and hear your story and understand how you arrived where you have on the issues. None the less, You are the hope for the Democratic Party in the next election. America needs a leader like you at this point in our Nation's history. Frankly, our current leadership frightens me. I worry for my sons, ages 7 and 5, of the long term impact of this administrations' decisions. We simply cannot let Bush have another 4 years and put the country in even more danger than we are already in. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

America needs a leader who has walked the walk, not just someone who does time on the same tired treadmill every day. America needs a leader who knows that one does not acquire that title simply by leading everyone to danger. America needs you, General Clark. Let us work to place a person we can trust to know what to do not just in the White House, but in the world. If timing is everything, now is the time. Please make 2004 a real race by giving us one real choice.

Our nation's promise of equality & fairness,.... civil rights,...... voting rights...., and? How many honorable American soldiers have spread real blood in support of this administration's arrogance?

As a former staffer of Senator Daschle, I realize that it's likely no one involved in actual decision making will read this. But on the off chance someone does, please, please convince General Clark to run for President. I truly believe that only a former military leader with the gravitas of General Clark will be enough to convince an average voter to change leaders in the middle of messy, sloggy conflict. I have my fingers crossed and am ready to volunteer the moment he decides to enter the race. Dean may be a nice guy, but he's no former KFOR Commander. Please Sir, please consider running for President.

When George Bush was elected I was so- frnakly pissed off -and extremely concerned for the country. I told my husband at the time what catastrophic events I felt would befall the nation. My worst fears have been far surpassed and it has NOTHING to do with September 11. We had a budget surplus and could not decide what to pay off or save for/ We had the Averge Joe MAKING MONEY, not getting a $300 dollar taxable rebate. If you really reflect upon the state of the US today, another 4 years of the Bush Administration is downright frightening. We have no credibility, and no allies. We have burned our bridges and scorned the United Nations. We will be in a position globally that will make 9/11 look like amateur hour. What I can tell you is that the average American is FURIOUS. I have looked at the other Democratic candidates, and iinvestigated Edwards, Dean and Gore. NONE of them can rally the country. NONE of them can recruit both conservative, liberal and fence riding Americans. NONE of them had the global perspective and the educational backround that you have. The person who runs for president against George Bush cannot be an "also ran' or mumble the same gobbledey gook from past elections. Americans can see through that and will stay with what they know, however horrendous, rather than ' flee to that which they know not of'. The President cannot be the "lesser of two evils", which sadly is how many Americans vote every 4 years. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark: You are a man of honor and integrity, and have the experience our country needs to provide leadership at this crucial time. President Bush misled us as to the reason it was necessary to go into Iraq; and then when we did so, we did not go in with enough troops to secure the country after bringing down the Saddam Hussein regime. Today, there still aren't enough troops. Soldiers are being killed and wounded every day, the U.N. compound and a mosque were bombed, and infrastructure is being sabotaged. Tnere are more terrorists in Iraq now than prior to our entry. More troops must be sent to stabilize the country. Economically, President Bush inherited a trillion dollar surplus from the Clinton administration and has turned it into several trillion dollars of deficit. He is anti-environment, pro big business, and has given large tax cuts to the top 2% wealthiest among us. Unemployment is high and many people have stopped looking for a job. Most college graduates cannot find one. You have the economic background, and the military and political experience to lead this country during a period of crisis. As President, you could unite the country. I hope that you decide to run for President; and if so, you will have my support.

As our nation becomes ever more embroiled in an unnecessary and counterproductive war in Iraq based on false pretenses and equivocation; as our environment is assaulted by relaxing rules to favor polluters; as our economy is weakened by crony capitalism and lack of concern for working people while the government amasses historically huge deficits to give even more to the wealthiest; as political discourse becomes even more debased by invective and tainted by mendacity on a level previously unimaginable; as our civil liberties are being eroded in the name of patriotism; as opportunities to fundamentally change our society for the better go unheeded so as not to offend corporate special interests; as pharmaceutical companies and insurance conglomerates control our health, and as the voice of the American people is drowned out by the loud scream of large campaign donations, now, more than at any time I can remember, our country needs a new President, a new administration and a new direction. A president who has the courage to face these issues and the intelligence to begin to solve them. A president who can be a voice for common sense, international cooperation, social equality and moderation in times made so dangerous and uncertain by our current leaders. A president with the unquestionable leadership, military and foreign policy credentials so necessary to win against a flyboy impostor whose posturing has caused so many difficulties. I believe you are that man. I encourage you to run and offer my full support, both in any financial aid I may be able to give, though it may not be much, but also my time and any of my abilities as may prove to be useful to you and your effort. Sincerely, Morris Sheppard

General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. I served with you in Albania and Kosovo, first as part of TF Hawk, then into KFOR. I'd like to "meet up," with fellow supporters at the New York Athletic Club, which I think would be a great venue, no host. Keep me posted. You're a leader and a true hero, our military, our citizenry, deserve an intelligent, experienced, multilateralist to lead. You and your family will make a great First Family and I'd be honored to serve you again. Very Respectfully, /s/ Ray Galas Commissioner City and County of Honolulu (Now resident of New York City.)

General Clark, I am an immigrant, who according to Rumsfeld immigrated from "New Europe" over 10 years ago. I became a citizen as soon as I had the chance, and I am very proud to be an American. In the recent years I have observed this administration destroying America on a daily basis with its tax cuts for the rich and irrational foreing policy driven by...well I don't know because it's hard to find President Bush speaking to a nation without a script and even then, it's hard to understand what it is he is attempting to read. In summary, I am pleading and requesting that you decide to run for President of the United States, and help restore this country to its status as "the city on the hill" it once was. I will be proud to devote my time and energy to build grassroots campaign in my area and any other way I can help in electing a man whose traits combine intelligence, moral fiber, charisma, all of which make up not just a Presidential contender but a great leader. Please run for the President of the United States.

America needs a new president: one with a sane approach to foreign policy and a humane approach to social and environmental policies at home. The current administration has set the U.S. on a very dangerous course, environmentally, economically, and globally. You could provide a genuine alternative to the current administration. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I believe your presence in the Democratic field is needed simply to spice up the field and make sure the nominee truly earns this most important position.I believe it to be imperative that George W. Bush should be sent back to Crawford,Texas.In order to do this we as Democrats need to have our best candidates running the cream of the crop so to speak.General your credentials are impeccable you bring charisma and a very prestigious military record. So I as a Democrat ask you to throw your hat into the ring for a shot at the nomination!

I have been reading about you and feel that you could be the candidate who could beat Bush.....I am very concerned about the future of our country. I admit that I joined the Kerry campaign, but, I have since become disappointed. I sincerely feel you have the stature to represent the Democratic ticket. I must say one thing to you that really bothers me about all the Democratic candidates and that is.....why are not the Democratic candidates highlighting more attention to our soldiers who have been seriously injured or maimed because of this Iraq action? I am one indiviidual who would really like to know why our so called "objective' media isn't reporting the human cost of this war?? I am sick and tired of all the people in this country who think fighting in Iraq is the right thing to do, but, they have no personal connection. Maybe it is too simplistic, but, I believe there are too many people in this country who are willing to let others die for them and I include in that most members of congress and the senate and Bush and Cheney. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

I will be voting for the first time in the 2004 election, and for the past six months my mother and I have had several conversations about wishing you would run for President. I admire your educational and military achievements, and would support you completely if you decide to run for President. Your influence and wisdom are an asset the rest of the Democratic candidates do not share, and I would be hard pressed to find another candidate to vote for if you do not run. I wish you the best!

As the one Democratic candidate who could, and certainly WILL defeat George Bush in 2004, General Clark, you MUST run for President. America needs a change in leadership. America needs to have intelligence and balance restored to it's view of the world, it's foreign and fiscal policy. America needs an intelligent 'warrior' in charge of it's military might, a man that understands it's true power and purpose. Please, General Clark, accept the work that destiny has ordained for you and run for president in 2004.

Dear General Clark, I am one among many thinking Americans, who wish for truth in government, a return to partnership with our government that encourages all voices and recognizes dissent as a glorious exercise of democracy. The nation is in desperate need of leadership that looks beyond the next election and focuses on the issues at hand that strangle the average American community's efforts to rise up. Good governance at home is essential if we are to presume to export democracy. You are the one voice I have heard to date, which speaks with clarity, experience, and respect for all. Please lead us back to the roots of our democracy where all men are created equal and money is not always the answer. Lead us in a fight against terrorism that looks beyond military might, as important as that component is, to what has created such a fervor to kill, maim and destroy anyone or thing identified with the United States. While we may capture and kill some terrorists, until the US understands and addresses the root of this passionate discontent we can only apply temporary bandages on a festering wound. I respectly request that you consent to once again answer your country's call to serve. I have put my money where my heart is and will, willing put my head, hands and feet to work in your campaign.

General Clark, I can think of no other individual who could 1. Defeat the Republicans; 2. Help secure our nation; 3. Begin to restore the respect from other nations that we have enjoyed in the past; 4. Command sufficient popularity and loyalty to begin to address the urgent domestic needs such as health care, the environment, dependence on foreign oil, joblessness, infrastructure, education. 5. Heal the image of the Democratic Party that has been so damaged by Clinton's personal character. As I have seen you on CNN, and have read of your accomplishments, I have come to trust your intelligence and your integrity. You also seem to be very humble. PLEASE do not let humility prevent you from giving us a chance to vote for you for President. I personally believe the BEST President for our time is probably one who has come to run reluctantly, not one who has lusted after the office for its own sake. You seem like such a person. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, Since I first started to follow you in news reports and interviews I have admired your frankness, honesty and integrity. I have shared with friends and colleagues the intriguing notion of a Clark presidency. You are one of the first potential candidates I have felt would lead the country without disgrace since supporting Mo Udall in '75. That said, I am also an ardent supporter of Howard Dean. The two of you share many traits - honesty, integrity, idealism governed by practicality, common positions on major issues and eyes not overly clouded by political expediency. Suffice to say that I would support a Clark-Dean or Dean-Clark ticket and work hard to make it a success. We live in difficult times and I believe that you and Howard could lead us out of the domestic and international trials and tribulations into which the current administration has led us.

Rather than move to Canada, as my husband keeps suggesting, I have decided that we must stay and use our vote in a way that might save the rest of the world from the United States and the tremendous power it wields.

Dear Gen. Clark I have never written an internet letter like this, and I am still skeptical about its overall worth, but I didn't want to leave the pre-set text and I did want to offer my encouragement for your potential decision to enter the presidential race. I am an 18 year old college student and have been a strong Dean supporter for the past several months. I still do support Dean and think he would make an excellent president, but you are the first (potential) candidate to impress me in so many different areas. First and foremost, your direct and honest way of speaking is desperately needed in a time ruled by gross rhetoric and scare tactics coming from Washington. From everything I have seen of you, you have a remarkable keen insight and pragmatic mind for what the country needs to move it at a healthy pace away from the Bush setbacks and into the future. You were right to say that we were founded as a "liberal democracy" and I feel that you are one of the few public servants who can shamelessly point this fact out and not be labeled a traitor to America. I hope to see you enter the race in the next few days and take George Bush on from the standpoint of someone who actually comes from the background of which he tries miserably to convey an understanding. You can beat George Bush, but this is not the only reason I am asking you to enter the race; you are exactly what this country needs right now, for you can appropriately and rationally deal with the mess Bush has gotten into and I am confident enough in your intelligence to trust that you will be able to steer frightened Americans away from Bush's propaganda and surround yourself with only the best if you are to win. Please enter the race, dignify the primaries, and give the Democrats and those of us not fooled by Bush and co. a fighting chance to see America go where it truly belongs. Please enter the race.

Dubya wants to essentially authorize a Department of Approved Internet Use within the Ministry of Homeland Security. This new department will create and demand implementation of new network protocols, take over the task of verifying IT vendors (so much for the conservative idea of getting rid of big government), and issue security assessment and policy tools (maybe Dubya can roll Microsoft into the Ministry of Homeland Security, demand everybody use Windows instead of Mac or Linux because Windows will be "secure" and adapt, at taxpayer expense, the latest government mandated protocols). Don't worry about the cost -- this idea comes from the guys who think a $200 billion war is nothing to sweat, even if it wrecks the economy. Plus, a lot of the cost will be picked up by the ISPs, which is to say you, the subscriber. Nothing like paying through the nose to have the government turn your computer into a Carnivore box.

General Clark, America needs you. You keep hearing how much safer we would feel with you at the helm given your understanding of the need for effective foreign policy. That is a given. I liked the letter where, during the first few weeks of the IRAQ fiasco, the guy said he told his wife to come in to the room because "Dad" was on t.v. You have a way about you that made us feel better even when we knew our fellow citizens were in harm's way and we weren't happy about it in the least nor quite sure why they were there. What you might not be hearing enough of, however, is our belief that with your economics education and business experience you would bring an understanding of economic issues to the table as well. After all, the two cannot be totally separated as you previously mentioned. Bush/Cheny et. al have created such a mess in so many areas it will take quite awhile to straighten things out. I, for one, want a smart man with a can-do attitude in the oval office, as is only fitting for the President of these United States of America. That person is you. Someone who will take an intellectual and fair look at our nation's issues and then determine the strategy for resolving them based on what is best for the country as a whole, not for a greedy few. Don't let those unworthy, uncaring, greedy neocons (e.g. KR) annoy or insult you as their claims are baseless. Let them annoy us and your campaign staff. We can take it because we see right through them and believe in you. All you have to do is be yourself and stay true to your beliefs while presenting them rationally, as you always do, because you are rational. Sadly, another quality seemingly missing from the current administration. Please Sir, I'm almost in tears writing this and I'm praying for you and your family each day. I understand this is an enormous decision for both you and your family but YOU CAN MAKE US PROUD AGAIN!! PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

General Clark: I admit I only vaguely knew who you were a few months ago, but have since done a little homework. I am convinced that not only do you have the best chance to defeat Bush next year, but also that, of those in the field, you are the best person for the job. To me, patriotism in a free country is expressing your opinions, whether they dovetail with those in authority or not. I am sick to death of the way dissenters to this war in Iraq are branded as traitors. It is particularly galling when some of the most fierce criticism comes from those individuals who were unwilling to sacrifice for their country. We have a president who dodged the draft by joining the Air National Guard - and then didn't even bother to show up for duty. We have a vice president who has been quoted as saying he had "better things to do" than serve. And we have a party that labelled a triple amputee veteran as unpatriotic while at the same time putting forward a candidate who chose not to serve. My father, a gulf war veteran, once told me that not all of the military is Republican. Thanks for proving him right.

Dear General Clark, I previously sent you an email encouraging you to run. I am doing so again and anxiously await you announcement the end of this week. I am including a copy of an email I have sent to my six brothers encouraging them to support you as well: "I don't know where you guys' political leanings are these days, but I am personnally outraged - more and more so each day - with the direction the current administration is taking this country, both domestically and internationally . I didn't vote for Bush in the first place and am definitley in favor of regime change in '04. None of the current field of proclaimed Dems inspire me however. But this man definetly does - and every time I see him speak or read about him I am more and more conviced. He is supposedly going to make an official declaration of his intentions one way or the other by the end of this week. If after reading the information at this web sight you agree with me, please take a minute to send him an email to encourage him to run."

General Clark, If every morning you get up with a feeling of frustration, impotence and outrage. If every morning you wonder what is going to happen next to this country (which used to be a wonderful country, the best in the world). If you are as scared as I am of what this administration is planning to do next...then it is time to run for president!! YOU can make a difference! a big difference! I wish I could make a difference. I am a woman and Hispanic and I am not involved in politics, actually, I dislike politics (probably as much as you do). I CAN make a difference by voting for you. You have something we are all looking for: INTEGRITY. George Bush and his friends have no idea what that word means. And you also have "common sense" (which my father used to call "the least common of the senses"). And we need a lot of common sense these days! We need the world on our side. You can also do that! I saw you in Europe, dealing with the Europeans and they respected you! In Panama they thought you were great! It is not too late! Please run! You can change this desperate situation! (Just think what would happen with four more years of GWB) It is up to you to save us! GENERAL CLARK, please run for president!

Dear General Clark, I grew up during the Clinton years, but have come of age during the current, disgusting administration. For the past three years I have seen nothing by arrogance, deceit and a total want of propriety. I felt that there was no hope of anything getting better (seeing the lackluster prospective Democratic cantidates), until I heard my mom mention an interview with you she saw on TV. I was so excited that I had to find out more about you; and from what I have discovered you, sir are the answer to our prayers. You have all of the qualities necessary to mount a serious challenge to the present disgrace of an administration. My hope has since grown as I have heard more about you and I now feel that there is a chance for real change. Please General, once again answer the call of duty and step up. The American people need you! Don't let GW win without a fight. I am thoroughly convinced that you are the only one that stands a chance against the Bush cartel. Please run for president! Sincerely yours, Katie Bishop

President Bush is leading the country and possibly the world down a frightening path. He claims to be strong on defense but only seems to be strong on offense: offending all of our allies and enemies alike. He has cut taxes in an irresponsible way dooming cherished social programs. He is squandering every resource we have, both natural and political. Deliberately misleading and decieving the average American, especially dangerous is the gutting (through monetary starvation) of our most important resources in these troubling times: local Police, Border Guards, Emergency Personel, health care funding... All this while scarily claiming to feel "chosen by God" to lead. Jihadists claim God on their side. Bush, Ashcroft, Cheney... are reversing all of America's greatness. I believe they must be stopped. They are ruthless, however, and have many techniques to win elections (Witness push polls to ruin McCain, Misquotes that ruined Gore...) I believe you are the only electable challenger. I am not sure if you can win a Democratic primary, but I am certain that you can win a general election. I am certain also that someone besides Bush MUST win. Please, please, for the sake of our country, our people, and possibly the good of the entire world, help us defeat these evil people running our government. Thank you, Sincerely, Randall S. Freed

i dont really know too much about you but i would like for you to run for president. this is because the power of our country has now effectively been taken away from the people and into the hands of the elities, imperialistic politicians and oil mongers. you seem at least more sincere in an effort to unite and not divide. we are falling from international respect too fast for me to be comfortable as a citizen of this country. i am a proud american who is currently embarassed to be an american. this stems from the continued deceit and betrayal that the current administration has modeled all too often. i feel as if i am being lyed to by politicians who are smiling at me. examples of my rage stem from the fact that i can understand why so many people in foreign countries are looking down on us now. how we won't get international approval for war yet we will ask internationally for help after the fact. or kyoto, progressive energy over foriegn dependency on oil. asking for billions for foreign aid and wars but domestically our schools systems are rotting, and poverty and debt continue to skyrocked. the power needs to be with the people and its not.

While the current field of Democrats is good, in my opinion, none have the "total package" as you do. If you do run, I will help in whatever way I am able to. John Barbaccia

General Clark, I am a twenty year old college student who has recently become disenfranchised with this country's direction. In the run up to war with Iraq I was opposed to the action in Iraq. But the climate in this country was scary, and still is. It appears if you have dissenting view in this country, your patriotism is questioned. It appears that the present administration welcomes this. I would like to see President Bush lose in the '04 election, but I cannot support any Democratic candidate that is presently running. And it saddens me more that out of those nine candidates, none of them have a chance to unseat President Bush. So I implore you to run General. Your country needs you again.

Dear General Clark: I am writing to find out more out your stance on certain “worker” related issues and, dependant on those answers, to offer my conditional support for your 2004 Presidential campaign. I have always been very impressed with you remarks over the years. I have no doubt that you are a man who well understands the 13 chapters of Sun Zsu and has lived his life accordingly. Clearly this cannot be said of our current Commander-and- Chief. So on the Foreign Policy front few Americans will be able to find fault with your platform. My questions and concerns center around what your domestic policies would look like. I would assume that generally you would favor reasonably conservative fiscal policies with responsible deficit management. I would also assume that, as southern democrat with a military background, that your position on gun control, an issue that has cost the Democratic Party very dearly in past elections in the south and west, would be palatable to those regions. Given the current backlash with tax-and-spend “liberalism” and the “good ole boys” passion for their second amendment rights such positions seem very sensible. As a Union Representative I do have other questions on issues that are equally vital. Healthcare Reform, for example, is an issue that is absolutely vital to the long-term economic recovery we all so desperately want. The most ill-managed Healthcare system in the industrial world is costing both workers and companies billions upon billions of dollars every year. The predictions of 1992, that if left unchecked our healthcare system would devour all surpluses in the economy, have proven painfully true. Change in the American healthcare industry is not only a social issue. It is also an economic necessity. Another issue of vital concern to Labor is the economic hemorrhage of 70,000 American jobs per month, mostly to Mexico and other parts of Latin America. I fear Mr. Perot was right on this one. The trade agreements we have signed have not been in the best interest of most Americans. Ironically, they are not even in the best interest of most of the populations of the developing countries either, due to lack of parity in a host of areas including, wage/benefit compensation, occupational health standards, environmental standards, and meaningful labor union recognition/protection. Yet another issue of great importance to the American worker, both organized and unorganized, is the impotency of the National Labor Relations Act, at least as currently enforced, in protecting the rights of workers to Organize without company retaliation or intimidation. Recent polls suggest that most American employees would freely form or join unions if they did not fear the loss of their jobs either through plant closings or outright Company defiance of the NLRA “protected organizing activities.” Yet Companies manage to avoid ever signing a contract with nearly two thirds of those employees who vote in a Union. If Unions are to remain an important part of the balanced economic system F.D.R. first created with the New Deal, clearly Taft-Hartley must be revisited with an eye towards closing the loopholes modern corporations use to subvert the law. Promoting such legislative initiatives would undoubtedly give you the united support of Labor, including not only the millions we represent, but the tens of millions that follow our lead as well. This may not endear you to the major corporations who are happy enough to pay $2.50 an hour for labor in Mexico, but lets face it, the vast majority of their political dollars are going to the Republicans anyway. Other important issues to Labor are, the OSHA standards President Bush killed with his first official act, the national plague of part-time, “under” employment, dependant child daycare, and, of course, Education. If your platform on these matters is in the favor of the American worker, I believe that you not only have the means to becoming our next President, but that you even have the potential to be the Franklin D. Roosevelt of this generation, a muchly needed champion on both the National Security and Domestic Economic fronts. Organized Labor can offer you the ready-made organization you need to step into this race and secure both the Democratic nomination and the Presidency. Provided I get the answers I am expecting, I will offer my unwavering support. I am only one lowly president of one mid-sized Local Union, but I will do everything in my power to assist your access to the BCTGM in particular and the AFL-CIO in general. For the record, General, I believe it is now your duty to lead this nation in these critical times. I believe it my duty to encourage you to do so and to provide all the support possible to your endeavor. Respectfully, David Nichols President/Business Manager BCTGM Local 149

General Clark, I have told every member of my family and all my good friends how I am rooting for you to run for the U.S Presidency. The United States of America needs someone like you to guide us through the waters during this period of trepidation and uneasiness. You are unquestionably the leader we need. I firmly believe that you are (IF YOU RUN!) the candidate for President that would be the first serious competitive challenger to the incumbent in our General Election. Your views appeal across the board, for Republicans and Democrats that I know! Your credentials are outstanding. When I read your interviews or watch you speak on Television, it is the first time where I felt that we had someone truly "Presidential" on our hands. I believe that you would best represent our country to the world, but also provide inspiration to our citizenry. This is the first time I have been so inspired about ANY candidate, and I gush like a kid about how great I think you would be for our country. I pray everyday that you will decide to run for the U.S Presidency! Please take the chance and make the run. I know so many folks that would dedicate their heart and time to help you win the nomination and Presidency. Let's put on a good fight General!

Dear General Clark, I have anxiously been waiting for your decision to run. Every Democrat and some Independent friends that I have are ready to vote for you. Please don't let me down. Not only would you be an ideal candidate to defeat George Bush, but you have the background and intelligence to lead this country in the right direction. As of this point my grandmother used to say "we are going to Hell in a handbasket". I have confidence in you, and you have more supporters than you realize. Now is the time we need to hear you and see you speak. Thank you. Kathy Chipperfield

America deserves a new kind of president. One who has served his country during the time of war, not one who was awol during a war.. How refreshing it would be to have someone who understands the need of all veterans to be treated with dignity, since Congress and the present administration keeps asking young men to fight but ignores the needs of all past veterans. If the current patterns hold, these same young men will be subjected to the same insulting lack of treatment that our current vets face daily. As one coureageous Native American veteran said of their traditions,"There are two things we must do. One, we honor our elders and two, we never forget our warriors." So must America!! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark: I’m hopeful you will find it in your heart to run for President of the United States in the 2004 elections. The current democratic field might be qualified on paper but not in the hearts of Americans. Unlike any other time in my memory I cannot think of a more critical time for true leadership, compassion and vision desperately need in these trying times. Americans need to be saved from the mess we have been dragged into. Wars of choice that make little sense, one issue presidents, loss of civil liberties, record financial deficits, economic ruin, historic job losses, and the throttling of international goodwill. Our current president continues to ricochets between neo-conservative piety and naive puberty. I feel like a hostage in my own country by image makers that make Bush look like something he isn’t nor might ever be … a man that deserves to wear a flight suit and a human of wise and deep though. Running for high office isn’t easy, nothing of true worth ever is. It is a sacrifice which is something a man of you charisma and stature certain understands and has lived throughout your career. I am 43 years old, an ex-executive at Enron that stood up to corruption. I am a man who broke his neck on December 7th, 1985 while body surfing in Hawaii on my honeymoon. I rebuild my life, still married to the same women, sired a son, I can stand and am not letting my disability limit me. I too know character when I see it and you have my love and support. I would love nothing more than to see you run and find myself leading the Clark for president campaign in my state of Arizona. I pray you choose to save your nation from itself.

Sir, as I have thought about your potential campaign, a phrase came to me that at least for myself captures a sense of the mission that I believe you are called for, one that might articlate the central theme of your cannidacy. Restore America. Restore our standing in the World. Restore our international alliances. Restore our economy to one that creates rather than loses jobs. Restore Fiscal Sanity by fighting mushrooming deficits. Restore civility to our political discourse. Restore protection of our civil liberties. Restore faith in the future of Social Security. Restore integrity to the political process. Restore Americas committment to assist those who are in need among us. Restore checks and balances on Corporate greed. Restore decency and fairness to our tax codes, so those who can afford to shoulder their fair burden. Restore our physical security by prioritizing immenent therats against our nation for immediate attention. Restore Environmental protections. Restore America, Sir. It sounds close to the type of hollow patriotic slogans the Republicans trot out, but it isn't hollow any longer. It is our mission, and I hope you accept that it is your mission to lead us in that quest. Slogans, but in truth it is our mission now. I think it captures a lot. General, help us, lead us in restoring America.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. The main reason I forgot to mention in my last letter!!! I read an article in Buzz Flash by,( I hope I get his name right! Mical Malicay Marshall or something like that.) He wrote about in the current neoconservative movement. He said in essence they want to change the world but as they see fit! Hello! this sounds like a guy who was killing people all over Europe in the late 30 and 40's wanting that kind of POWER1 You certainly are more than qualified and I am sure a soldier would rather serve under you then who they are serving now!

Dear Sir: The following was presented by the web site. The plea is simple and straightforward. However, it is a plea. Our country has been under such a dreadful assault from the first day Bush was "appointed." The calamity continues and our concern for the health and welfare extends beyond Americans. We are all members of this planet. We are all and have always been exposed to territorists but we have helped to create many of these horrors. It's not that we think you will automatically solve the problems but we believe you will attempt to realistically deal with the mess the Bush administration has created. Essentially, we are extremely concerned about environment, health, the infrastructure, our educational system which our forefathers fought to provide, our parks, the sweep of "yellow journalists" whose half-truths are shouted across the air waves which few may soon control, etc., etc., etc. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

September 15, 2003 Dear General Wesley Clark, You must run. I have been crisscrossing California giving anti-Bush speeches to a variety of organizations and the state Democratic leadership. I have also been out in the streets each weekend registering thousands of prospective Democratic voters. From these numerous grassroots contacts, I have learned that you are by far the strongest Democratic candidate. You draw large numbers of supporters from each of the other Democratic candidates; you pull moderates from the Republican Party; and you appear a very plausible choice for the many prospective voters who haven’t voted in recent years, but who dread another four years of Bush. In my new book, The American Challenge, I set forth a bold new vision for America, the thoughtful progressive domestic and foreign policy agenda so many peace and freedom-loving Democrats, independents, and even a few Republicans yearn for, bold legislative initiatives to restore our shattered economy and our eviscerated democracy. People who start reading The American Challenge say to me they cannot put it down. The more people who read The American Challenge the more likely it is you will win a landslide victory in 2004. You can see excerpts of each thought-provoking chapter at www.theamericanchallenge.com. Please forward a mailing address so that we can send complimentary copies to your staff. My friends and I will work round the clock to help assure your election. My best to you, Bob Zimmerman Rave Reviews for The American Challenge The Midwest Book Review: “Highly recommended for political science reading lists and community library collections. The American Challenge: Twenty-One Winning Strategies for the 21st Century is a quite thoughtful and thought-provoking read especially commended to those who yearn to do more than simply attending the polls on Election Day. The American Challenge is written to exhort the principle that democracy is emphatically not a spectator sport. The book is a manifesto of political thought and progressive ideas rebuking the overly militaristic policies of the Bush administration. Proposed reforms include a new system of taxation to replace federal income tax; a plan for universal access to medical care that lowers costs; ideas for improving the injustices within the electoral, judicial, and corporate systems; and a great deal more.” Dr. Johan Galtung, famed international professor of peace studies and founder of Transcend (the world’s largest international peace and conflict resolution organization): “The American Challenge is one-of-a-kind, fantastic. This book contains the concrete ideas and proposals America needs to transform her into a truly nurturing and peaceable nation. Absolutely the best book I have ever read on the topic.”

Dear General Clark, Over the past four years, I have witnessed a decline in our nation that I had never thought possible. I have grown up in the post-Cold War era, where the United States has been the sole world superpower. Anything that I had wanted (within reason), I could get with little problem. However, since the election of George Bush in 2000, our economy has fallen into a recession, we have been led recklessly into war, and years of social progress are being reversed. This will be the first Presidential election I have ever voted in, but I know that I will be voting for the man who can defeat George W. Bush, you, General Clark, you. America needs you. General Clark in 2004!

General Clark, Please enter the 2004 presidential race, to win. The world needs a leader. My research suggests you are that leader. And, please, General Clark, find and hire James Carville, if you have not already done so. He knows from a ten-year firefight with the opponents just how vicious this campaign will be. These people will fight dirty and hard. You may be combat ready, but your entire team needs to be so. Carville can galvanize them, not only because he knows just how the opponent fights, but because he can be as tenacious as they can. He can also instill that sense of fight in the organization. It will be a fight. The opponents are bullies, and the only way to deal with a bully is to bloody his nose. Being nice, even if you are right, will not win the day. Like Sun Tsu and Buddhists teach, your organization must be prepared for anything and everything. And as Sun Tsu stated, the best generals seldom have to fight because their preparedness makes it obvious to their enemy that fighting is pointless. Please prepare that well for this intense fight. Whether Carville is in or not, I am. I may not have his experience, but I have his tenaciousness. It would be good to work with him. It will be good to work with you. Please give me, and all thinking citizens of the world, that chance by declaring your candidacy. I look forward to hearing of your announcement in the next few days, and to working with you in the future. Monte Reimers

Anyone who thinks it is too late for a serious candidate is crazy. I think the American public just needs to get a look at you and they'll see you're the real deal.

I am writing to you as a college student and political activist who has been very indecisive about which candidate to support in the 2004 Democratic primary. Some candidates didn't seem electable or exciting. Others I disagreed on with some major issues. Some just weren't likeable. But you, General Clark, have all of these qualities. I am strongly urging you to run for President of the United States, as well as giving you my word that I will support your candidacy passionately. I am very confident that if you throw your hat into the ring, you will win the Democratic primary, as well as defeat Mr. Bush and get the United States on the right track.

(It probably concerns me just as much to know that a large number of my fellow Americans disagree with me!) While I don't pretend to know you well, we've met in Little Rock on the golf course and occasionally at social functions, and from what I've seen, heard, and read, I believe that you far more nearly represent the positions that I favor on the issues of our day than any other announced candidate...not to mention Mr. Bush himself! I know that you are considering a run for the presidency, and I want you to know that you have my support should you choose to do so. Sincerely, Terry Rasco

If you decide to run, please raise your campaign support from the people not from big companies. I'd like to see a president in office who serves americans for a change (rather than big business and special interest). I believe that most americans are sick and tired of seeing big business and the ultra rich buy power and influence through campaign contributions. While George W. is firmly in the pocket of industry (on a record scale I might add) you as the acceptor of small personal contributions would be working for and representing the interests of the average joe.

Dear General Clark, While I'm almost certain that you will be entering the race for the Democratic Party's nomination this week, I wanted to convey to you my sincerest hope that you succeed in securing that nomination. I have the greatest respect for the current field of Democratic contenders, but I feel that your candidicacy would have the best chance of defeating Pres. Bush in 2004. However, this is not the only reason that you have gained my support. It is my firm belief that you are a leader that will take a stand against genocide and fulfill America's true potential as a world leader on this issue. As long as war criminals and other atrocities go on without action, the world will continue to be dark place for many. I hope America, under your leadership, will become a champion of freedom and human rights once again. As I currently contemplate a career change and prepare an OCS packet, I promise you that I will do everything that I can in the next year to support your efforts. Your campaign and the message you could bring to the American public is essential to the future of this great nation. Good luck to you sir.

Dear General Clark: Last night while on-line, I helped a 23 year old Louisiana woman locate web info on the Democractic presidential candidates. She has two babies and she wrote "I am afraid with Bush in the White House." Many of us are afraid and we have much to fear from this administration. Please run for president and restore our hope. We Want Our Country Back!! God bless you and guide you as you make your decision. BEGIN CANNED TEXT: America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

This country deserves far better than the current adminstration's ad hoc policies, misleading and untruthful statements, ignorance of facts, skirting of important issues, disregard of the environment, and flagrant favors bestowed on the elite. After doing a bit of research on your views and beliefs, I am convinced that you are the person who can help us out of the appalling situations in which we find ourselves. I never thought I'd promote someone with a military background, but you have shown such insight on issues and regard for the American (and other) people, that I now realize how narrow my own views may have been. Please, for the sake of this country's future, consider a run for the presidency. You are desperately needed, you will be supported.

America needs an informed leader who is prepared to speak candidly on the issues. The Democratic Party needs a new leader to give the American people SOMEONE TO VOTE FOR. President George W. Bush confused the need of the American people to rally behind the country after 9/11 as a personal endorsement of himself. The resulting Bush hubris has created a morass of problems which will take years to unravel. The willingness of President Bush to become a standard bearer for the far right has polarized the country and caused us to turn away from some of our most critical values. The present civilian leadership at the Pentagon is nothing short of dangerous. General, the country needs you and if you decide to run I will pledge both what financial assistance I can and will also pledge personal effort on your behalf. Your frank remarks on CNN during the military campaign in Iraq established you as a man of honesty and candor with a clear capacity for analytical thought. You have already established yourself as a highly qualified leader.

To the canned text below I would like to add that I am very scared for our country at this time, and frightened for my children's future. Even before Sepember 11 the world was a perilous place, but Bush's inept leadership (and the poorly reasoned views of the neo conservatives who are in control of his administration) have exacerbated the situation. If we were on a ship we would be flying our flag upside down. There are some Democratic candidates with potential already in the field. I especially like Kerry and Dean. But I don't see a candidate yet who I feel can really galvanize the Democrats and swing voters. I think you will bring that element into the race. Please, for the future of our country and the world you must get into this race! BEGIN CANNED TEXT BELOW: America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times.

I will be willing to help establish a beach head in Southern California for you when you run. We need you; you are the only Democrat who has the standing to have questioned the Iraq debacle, and the only serious contender who in fact had the courage to speak against it while it was going on. Please run. The county needs you; it will be a difficult engagement but that is when courage is the most necessary.

General Clark, You are likely too late to displace Howard Dean as the eventual nominee. The good news is that you and Dr. Dean would make an unstoppable ticket. Your skills and experiences compliment each other perfectly and you will both be stronger by working together rather than running individually. If you agreed to join Governor Dean's campaign, we, as Democrats, could look forward to a short primary season and an early galvanization of support, just as the GOP did in 2000. Please do not run and instead join Governor Dean so we can take back the White House next year.

Please run for President of the United States and give us back hope. We know what kind of prosperity comes from Arkansas. Greeting General: Your country needs you once again..You are being drafted. Please report for duty as son as possible, there are people dying here, who desperately needs your leadership.

Dear Mr Clark, I'm a 23 year old living in Florida. I work a 9-5 job, try to do what is right, and live with respect for my fellow man. I feel like George Bush is trampling on everything that was ever sacred in this country. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of humanity, for I feel that he is on some "spiritual" journey to rid the world of evil no matter what damage he does in the process. He doesn't understand that the things that he is doing now are going to affect the things that happen 10-15 years from now. He stole the election first and foremost, and he is not intelligent enough, or compassionate enough for that matter to be leading this country. We need somebody who will stand up to him and debate him on a one on one level instead seeing who can throw more money around. That's his plan, to spend as much money on the next campaign as he can, because obviously it's worked for him in the past and he's gotten what he's wanted. It's time to send this goofball packing and get somebody in office who we as americans can actually stand up behind and be proud of. You've already got a following thanks to Micheal Moore, who many of us believe in. I know you don't really want to be president, which makes it even realer. You stood up for your country as a General, why not stand up for it as President as well! Thanks for your time. Bryan Spearry

Dear General Clark, I have been following the news of your possible candidacy with relish and promised to contrubute to your campaign if you ran. I did so for many reasons. Here are some of them. 1. Your experience as a veteran and a General gives me hope. You (and only you) can remedy the disaster that our current president has made of our foreign policy. 2. You are an inspiring person and a patriot, because you stand up for what you believe. Therefore, you will inspire others. 3. Bush is shaking in his little flight boots at the prospect of your candidacy, because you can beat him. 4. You are intelligent and sincere. 5. I agree with your opinion of Women's Rights and Gun control and other social issues. You are the only candidate that can rally the Democratic Party. Please run!

I have recently discovered a ray of hope and that ray comes in the form of YOU!!!!!! I have never donated myself for any campaign, however, if you should decide to run for President (which I have been praying for every night), I would be honored to help you, in any way that I can, to get you to the White House.

I believe that someone like you is exactly what is needed to mend all that is wrong with this Country. I look forward to hearing that you have decided to run and that I will hear from someone in your campaign for the donation of my time and energy.

As I'm sure many of the letter's say that are sent through this service, The United States needs a new president. We are in need of someone who has the military history to understand war and what are role in the World should be right now. You seem to be that person. We also need a leader who is concerned with all American's and not just those who are wealthy. You seem to be that person. We need a leader that is smarter than my cat. As a Rhodes Scholar, you are obviously not just smart but brilliant and well rounded. We need a leader who will focus on all issues and not just those that help big business. roughly 95 to 97% of all people are not as wealthy as George Bush and its important that someone focus on issues important to us. You seem to be that person. The Democratic Party is in much need of a person that has morals, the ability to state their opinion and stay with it - even if it is unpopular. You seem to be that person. Please do run for President. We need a leader that we can actually look up to. Thank you

Sir, Our country is at a very crucial juncture. I don't feel it is yet too late to correct the damage, but perhaps by 2008 it will be. The horrendous events of 9-11 have been callously manipulated into a sort of Orwellian umbrella under which anything can be justified--i.e. the common misconception that Iraq was responsible for the attacks. My baby brother has just returned from Iraq, and while he is fine, I cannot help but think that the neo-conservatives and policy makers of this administration are like children playing with toy soldiers. There is a military tradition in my family, and no leader who has even a vague understanding of the horrors of combat would ever utter such a line as "Bring 'em on." It is easy for President Bush to make such statements, as he is thousands of miles from the front lines and protected by body guards. Our soldiers are not. We are in Iraq now, and we must stay and do it right. I believe you, sir, can make that happen, and I look forward to campaigning actively for you. Quite simply, our country is heading in the wrong direction; it is becoming xenophobic and nativistic, a place where patriotism is a buzzword for unquestioning obedience. The Founders of this country would be appalled at how easily the public has been swayed by half-truths. The Bush Administration has invoked 9-11 to aggressively push both their domestic and foreign agendas, taking advantage of people's fears. Theirs is a harmful pessimism, which sees the citizens of this country as subjects, peons to salute and wave flags. I have heard you speak, sir, and I've noticed that your message in some ways mirrors that of John Kennedy's--that we, as a nation, must not rest on the laurels of the past, that we ought to examine and re-examine our lives and lead by example, so that the United States can once again be the envy of the world, earning the respect of foreign counties not with fearmongering, but rather through what Lincoln called, "the better angels of our nature." Run for President, General Clark. This nation is desperate for your leadership.

General Clark - As an Acxiom associate, I've heard you speak several times before. Each time, your message was strong, determined, sensible and inspiring. On the first occasion - at out executive symposium two years ago - you spoke extemporaneously, from your heart and soul - all the while feeling weary as you battled a terrible cold. But our Acxiom client guests never suspected. You commanded their attention and brought them to their feet in a standing ovation. I was just as moved as they. Back then I decided that you should be our next president. So, though these words were written by someone else for me, no one could mean them more than I do. General Clark, America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

PLEASE RUN! Save our country from the destruction of the Bush administration! The damage he has done in 3 years is impressive. We need a President who can stop the decay of our civil liberties, our environment, our schools, our economy, and our reputation world-wide. Run for the soldiers in Iraq who were lied to and who are now dying every day because of those lies. Run because America deserves to know the truth about why we went to war. Run because America deserves a President who has actually served his country, not a President who was AWOL from National Guard duty during the Vietnam War. Thank you for your service! Jenny

This is from the Wahington Times today General. Let's shut these idiots up!!!!! "Of course, there is Gen. Wesley Clark. For those of us who have observed presidential campaigns for a long time, however, this is a candidacy probably too-long-delayed. There is an air of indecisionnowfirmly established about the general as a presidential candidate — hardly a positive argument for a military knight who is to rescue the Democrats from themselves. My caveat is that Gen. Clark might have a remarkable public personality, including his manner of speaking, that would somehow give Democratic voters political goose bumps and thrust him into the thick of this nominating battle. Lacking that, the Clark candidacy is just talk. " Let's prove these blow hards wrong General. RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND SHUT THE WASHINGTON TIMES UP!!!!

Hello Mr. Clark! I'm a 32 yr old female in Amarllo Tx....Home of the the GOP stronghold. We need help! Tx has a huge problem with our current state govt, and you know what a mess the country is. I'm anit-abortion but pro-choice. I'm all about the poor and disabled, because I am both. I'm for womens rights, and want an govt that is for the environment...not for big oil. My father (an old skool Repub) is retired Airforce, so I understand the need for strong military, my brother served 6 years in the Army and was in Bosnia for a yr. My significant other has his B.S. in Physics and comes from a long line of rural Democrats. We are both educated and pay our taxes...we want to choose you!!! Please run...please help us. It's going to take an educated white man to beat Bush! The right will not vote for a minority or a "Tree Hugging Hippie." Of which you are none. We can get 'em w/U in there! After the Liberals take back Washington...we can work on getting women and minorites in the White House! Clark/Clinton '08!!!! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, We need a leader who knows what battles to fight on the international and domestic front. Certainly, 9/11 made a response in Afghanistan necessary. But, we should have commited more soldiers to that fight instead of relying on duplicitous Afghan warlords to capture Osama Bin Laden. I believe we did not commit enough troops necessary to ensure his capture and to secrure and rebuild that country. Our current administration needed those troops for a pre planned war for questionable purposes in Iraq. I believe you would not have used 9/11 to further ulterior motives; that you would have captured Osama; and that middle class America would be paying for this battle along with wealthy America and our partners across the globe. We need you to expose the flaws in the current strategies employed by the current Administration and the hypocrisy of their actions. You have done so from day one. Other Democrats have only now began to assert themselves except for Senator Graham and Howard Dean. Those tow have flaws however. This country needs someone with the courage to speak his mind and a resume to show comfort our country that it will not walk away from worthy fights. I believe you are that person and I will contribute to your candidacy if you run.

Dear Wesley Clark: I was very impressed by what I read of you in R. Holbrooke's "To End a War.” You stood out for your conscientious struggle to do what was right within the framework of U.S. military culture. In other words you impressed me as having one foot firmly in the civilian world and one foot in the military, and you were able to balance them. I have seen you in your TV appearances over the last few years and always felt that you were intelligent, articulate, quick-but-not-hasty, and memorable. The Democratic party needs someone trustworthy and unabashedly, dare I say "proud to be," liberal. It seems that you're that man. (Despite Dean's Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson persona, as a careful listener and reader, I am not convinced that he is the Vermont liberal we want and need him to be.) Please consider running for President of the U.S. With your truly liberal ideals, education and teaching experience, and military service, I think you could lead America back to democracy. As it stands now, I personally feel that the terrorists have won: we've been stripped of civil liberties, strapped with ridiculous deficits, lost the respect of allies and friends, killed thousands of civilians in an invasion and occupation of another sovereign nation, and are afraid to dissent. Are we really better than the terrorists or do we have just have better publicists? Again, please consider the Presidency. Sincerely, Amy Verner Decatur, GA

General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. This is my second letter to you but I wanted to reiterate how much you are needed. This administration is taking our country in the wrong direction in all ways. This benefits the few at the expense of the many. My husband honorably served his country in Korea. His cousin died shortly after having been a POW for thirty (30) months also in Korea. It sickens me that anyone who was against going to war with Iraq was labelled unpatriotic. George W. Bush was AWOL in 1972 while Max Clelland lost an arm and both legs in Vietnam. How disgusting for Max Clelland to be called unpatriotic by this administration. We need to take back our country and with you as a candidate for President, we can do it! My family, all five (5) of voting age will vote for you. Please get in the race and let's win B-I-G!

The United States needs an intelligent, rational, honest, and down-to-earth leader who will merit worldwide respect and encourage the political civility needed to keep our legislators working toward the best interests of the people. The U.S. needs a leader who will refuse to trade the people's civil rights away for any reason--especially for false promises of security. The U.S. needs a leader who will respect the wishes of the people and not subvert them to serve his own ideological interests. The U.S. needs a leader who will properly reorder our national priorities by acting to reverse Bush's failed economic policy, refocus our defense efforts more strongly on those who are the greatest threat to America and the world, and pressure for fair and just outcomes for both the Israeli and Palestinian people. The U.S. needs a leader who'll be well-respected overseas and improve our international relations. We the people need Wesley Clark!

Dear Mr. Clark: America needs a new president, whether it is you, Governor Dean, Senator Kerry, or John McCain. I urge you to run but on new and timely terms: I suggest you join forces early with another strong voice of change be he Dean or McCain. Do something unconventional like speak the truth, talk about average people, and offer new ideas. Bush has to go. Our country cannot survive much more of his compassion. Speak loudly, speak courageously, speak directly, but mostly speak honestly. Give us a vision, call us to sacrifice, give us a blueprint to restore the middle class and to focus again on Main Street, not Wall Street. I am sick of seeing Chinese stuff on the shelves of American stores. It's time for new corporate citizenship and a return to helping mom and pop, not multi-nationals. We need to return to Kennedy's trust in the American mind and use out intellect to solve the energy enslavement to oil and other pressing problems. Take Bush by the shorthairs and shake him down.

My heart goes out to you and your loved ones no matter what your next move may be. If you do choose to jump into the race, know that you have my support. The support of an individual who had always considered himself on the far edges of US politics. Someone who in the past has supported both the Green Party and the Libertarian Party. This time around though, I find myself soooo extremely concerned with the power of the Neoconservatives, that mainstream Democratic candidates sound like Jesus in comparison. You my friend are the man who can defeat Bush and restore confidence in the White House again. Confidence, not only from your fellow Americans, but also from our allies abroad.

It is imperative we elect a new president to help correct policy and priorities domestically and internationally. With your credentials and your stated positions, you would be a very attractive candidate, one who could lead a new coalition of Americans under the Democratic banner who could re-vitalize the country and the party in the process. To do so it is necessary to replace fear and greed with hope and compassion (yes it's time to reclaim that word). Our country's leadership right now shamefully derives its power from fear and greed. I believe you to be a man of intelligence, honor and courage with a high sense of service who can hold up to all that the campaign process will throw at you. I believe this country would be better for your candidacy. Like Michael Moore, I would like to get to know your policies better, but I trust that will happen easily given your honesty and that I will be pleased. With the most fervent request that you will run Yours, Scott Fullerton p.s., if I may tack an issue on this request, I would ask you to please repeal the benighted policies toward Cuba. It is not an exporter of terrorism and the economic embargo is counterproductive.

Dear General Clark, In these uncertain and dangerous times we need a person like you to run for President. Your thoughtful and inclusive social agenda coupled with your deep understanding of military issues are required today. If President Bush remains in office I feel a deep fear for my children and for the children's of the world. We need a change and when do we need it:NOW. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. Someone who understands our constitution and is committed to fiscal sobriety. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. You MUST run for president.

I admire what you stand for and what you have done. Having once been married to a military officer, and spent a year at the Naval War College, I came to admire the thoughfulness, integrity, courage and commitment to the best of America that I witnessed among much of the senior miliatary leadership. It came as an eye-opener for me having been in the ranks of the anti Vietnam war movement, a committed environmentalist and an internationalist. We urgently need someone who can educate the American public about the new world we are living in, and evoke from our citizens the very best that America stands for. Perhaps you are that person. I sincerely hope so. I urge you to run and stand ready to offer you my support.

Dear General Clark, I have only begun to look at your position on many issues that are important not only to me, but also to our country as a whole. For those issues on which your opinion is available, I predominantly agree with your positions. I cannot find your positions on other issues that will effect my vote in the upcoming presidential election. I cannot guarantee that I would vote for you if you run, but believing you represent one of the few persons who might defeat President Bush, I ask that you do so. I would like to know your position on all issues I will consider when voting in the next election. Without saying more, I ask that you run for President and let your voice be heard.

Hello, I have chosen to add my own into this letter. I am a former military personel. I was in the Air Force for a year. I was an A1C. I love the military and would be proud to rejoin the forces for America. The reason I am writing this is because I was "forced" to get out. The reason is I am gay. the commanders of my squadron and of my partners squadron felt it would be the best if we were no longer in the military. My partner was a Command Post Controller and I was Civil Engeneer. We both love the military and if we ever had the chance to return we would do it. We are asking you to run for President. You are a well known and a very honorable man. Your Purple heart, and other medals proves to me and Rachel that you are willing to do what it takes to help and protect our country. Thank you for taking the time and loving our country as much as you do. Thank you again and God Bless you. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

America needs a new president. And the mess the current President is about to leave behind won't be easy to fix, so we need someone who is up to the task. I believe you are that person. You have a clear view of the issues and a true and demonstrated desire to help people, both here in the U.S. and overseas. You are someone I, and many other Americans, could get excited about. We desperately need leadership right now and I know you can provide it! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Give me a chance to feel proud about the United States, instead of ashamed of our actions. Sicerely, Aaron Sewell

It's time for a democrat with a little backbone and conviction. Someone who wont back down when Bush's regime tries to attack your patriotism or personal character. Please, we need a voice like yours, a record like yours, and most of all a real chance like yours.

Dear General Clark, I train horses and teach others how to achieve better results with their horses through what we call True Leadership. I was impressed by the material on your Leadership for America web site, and by your lucid positions on world and domestic issues. My horses have taught me that assuming a leadership role is never an option; the role presents itself and the true leader knows with clarity that his responsibility is to act. I urge you to seek the Democratic nomination for President of the Unites States. Your talents and qualities make you ideally -- and uniquely -- suited for this role. In support of your endeavor, I pledge my utmost energies to assist in the ultimate success of your campaign. Yours truly, Matt Cavanaugh Teamwork Equine Services LLC French Corral, CA

I am a 31 year old single working woman in Los Angeles. I am a born and raised Democrat. I have many friends and family out of work. My company has been significantly downsized and the few of us that are still lucky enough to have our jobs, are now doing the jobs of 3 people with no chance of a raise. The Bush Administration is lying to the American people. In these uncertain and dangerous times, shouldn't you be able to trust your Government? I believe that you will be able to win the next election if you do decide to run for President, and I believe that you can put America into the right direction. Please know that you have my support. Clark/Dean in 2004? What a powerful and inspiring team that would be!

General Wesley Clark: I'm going to start with a postscript to my previous message re the necessity of including the history of our country and its politics in standard childhood education. Our Bill of Rights includes the right to bear arms. As I understand it, this was to provide the citizens a way to overthrow a tyrannical government. Guns alone won't do more than kill a lot of people. An educated and involved populace is the best weapon we have. Second issue. We have an unemployment problem in this country. I am in that group. I assure you, the problem is much worse than the statistics would indicate. I have been writing to WGBH in response to their very intelligent programs on this issue, and have been flattered to see the questions I raise covered in subsequent programming. In one program (either NewsHour or NOW) they estimated that unemployment was closer to 17% than 6%. I believe even that estimate is conservative. Last week I went to a Job Fair at Fenway Park. A security guard estimated that 12,000 people attended. There were 42 companies taking applications. I stood in line for four. One told me they were only looking for tellers, and I wouldn't qualify. Two took my resume, then said I should look at their online listings. The last, a temporary agency for office workers, gave me a number to call. Temporary, low paying contract work is on the rise. I had an interview last Friday, which started by my being told I was one of several hundred they had selected out of the close to one thousand resumes submitted. I have competed for the position of stationery store clerk with a Harvard graduate, who wanted to know what kind of skills they were looking for so he could include them on his application, and had my heart broken by two darling older ladies learning how to beg on the street. I have gone through all financial reserves, and sold a piece of property to cover living expenses. All around me, there are American corporations taking advantage of this time of common desperation. When I finish writing this letter to you, I am going to the welfare office to see about food stamps, and the possibility of welfare payments. I have completed my second application for a housing supplement. My health insurance, minimal as it was, has been cancelled by the state of Massachusetts because of budget problems. I am behind on my rent, and will very likely receive an eviction notice within the next few weeks. I worked and paid taxes for thirty-five years. I was an international software consultant during the Clinton years, and I paid a full 38% to put my country in the position of running a budget surplus. I didn't like paying the taxes, but I loved the results. Where is my country now? Who do I have to turn to? We need to discriminate between welfare and public assistance in times like this. During the depression, work groups were organized for government projects. It seems to me that these days far too little effort is going into the down and dirty of national security. We have big plans, but the details of local action are much neglected. Given a framework, a lot of us out here have the skills to make that happen. The technical skinny on the electronic voting system is that it has holes big enough to drive a truck through. An intermediate technician has enough knowledge to fix an election and remove the audit trail. Computer technicians are one of the largest groups currently unemployed. The limitation is that I will not participate in any plan that undermines the civil rights of my compatriots, or serves to increase the wealth of any corporate or private entity. I will work for my country. I am including a summarized copy of my resume. Review it, and then tell me I have no skills my country can use. All I ask is that my goods be moved to safe storage, that where I go I can take my cats and some art supplies, then get me there. There are thousands, perhaps millions, of others just like me.

I would not vote in the last presidential election. I would not vote for man who does not have my best interest in mind. I find that to be a severe error in judgement. I have watched the President make a mockery of our country. I am a twenty year old woman who looks at our nation's leader and sees nothing but chaos and deceit. If we are to uphold a separation of church and state should we not uphold a separation of state and the president's financial interests in the middle east as well? Wesley Clark has my support without question. It is about time we had a man run for President with noble reason and the people's interest at heart and in mind. Please run for President General Clark and save our country before we're the laughingstock of the world.

Please run for president. We need a leader that knows what Foreign Policy is. George W. Bush has no idea what to do. His big stick cowboy imperialist policy is and has been destroying America's name in the international community. At a time when the enemies of the United States are becoming more visible and more motivated, we do not need to turn on our once-allies so that those countries will have something to hold over our heads if the United States needs help. We need a diplomatic leader that is not so myopic that he turns on longtime allies for the purposes of using unfounded rumors to oust a leader. Run for President of the United States Mr. Wesley Clark. You'll have my vote.

We have gone astray under this current regime of arrogance and greed, and need much help to get back on the right path of democracy. We need you to unite this nation for a change, and bring back honesty and integrity to the Oval Office. General Clark, America needs you very badly. Please run for president in 2004. You will win in a landslide!

Mr. Clark, I am writing this letter in hopes you will run for President. I understand running for President, especially against a well-funded, sitting President is a daunting task. It may be a tough campaign, and it is understandable to be reluctant. However, the damages being done by this Administration are permanent, and this great nation needs you to serve it by ending the run of the current administration, mending the damages done over the last few years, and setting the course for a grand future. In short, Mr. Clark, we need you. I have studied politics for years academically, and intend to make politics a career (in acamedics). I firmly believe that, should you run, you will win big. I am more than willing to volunteer for your campaign, and I know of several others who would love to as well. Together, with your leadership, we can undo the damages done by the Bush Administration, and set this nation back on course to a wonderous future. You may very well go down in history as a great President who served his country well. Thank you, Bill States

Gen. Clark, I was delighted to hear you last week on NPR's The Connection. I was struck by how articulate and informed you are! Even on the economic and environmental questions, you never missed a beat. So refreshing after President Bush's speech on Iraq the previous night, when he stumbled his way with incomplete 5th grade sentences. Please run for President! At last I am encouraged! I've been a Democrat since 1972 (age 21). Thank you!

A generation ago, a typical American middle-class family lived on the income of a single breadwinner. In recent years it has taken two working spouses to live the modern middle-class dream. Now, it seems even that is not enough to survive the skyrocketing cost of housing, health care and college while saving for retirement and shouldering growing debt loads. America is definitely on the wrong path, especially with this arrogant and scary administration. The middle-class needs to TAKE BACK AMERICA, and RECALL THE BUSH/CHENEY REGIME! Let's restore OUR DEMOCRACY to what our forefathers had envisioned, and banish these mendacious leaders to rule their OIL reserves in Iraq. That's where they belong. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark: This is my third plea to you (and I sent money, too), but wanted to tell you that I spoke with a friend today who voted for Bush and said "it's time for a change." He is a Republican and went on and on about how he would vote for you, that you are the right man for the right time, and I couldn't agree more. I am a Democrat, and know that you are the only candidate who can garner the cross-over vote; I know you can win the nomination but, more important, I know you can beat Bush. Don't accept the V.P. spot--run for President! PLEASE!!

Dear Honorable Gen. Clarke, Pardon the tone of this letter, but I would only use such a tone and words with a human being who clearly is worthy and capable of understanding and preserving the light of freedom for the entire human race. You frankly have no right to deny the American public your presidency, the choice DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU in any capacity. History and destiny have conferred upon you a time and the gravity of responsibility which, today, in this vast land of freedom only you are qualified to uphold and advance. Pirates, leaches, idiots, and jackasses are running this government and they are well represented by both the democratic and republican parties. This nation is a child dying of thirst in a barren desert of leadership and vision and you are that abundant well that can squelch the thirst and empower this nation to a full charge of a golden glory long lost in the mediocrity of worthless men and women who are running vessel of freedom. It does not beget a man of your caliber to not run for the Presidency, and frankly it would be cowardly of you. Go and run for President, that office and this nation belongs to men like you. General your soldiers are the defeated and misled public of this great democracy, the enemy is the corrupt, and unworthy political establishment who has raped this democracy, so inspire your soldiers and like you have done before, and you are more than capable of doing now, crush and annihilate the enemy and its ideology into oblivion. Men as great as yourself cannot deny their nations their service, you have done so on the battlefield and now its time in civil service. With all do respect, either announce your run for the presidency at the right time or else stop giving mirages of hope to a desperate public, frankly it is unworthy of a man such as yourself. Citizens do not make such demands for ordinary men, but you have been prepared for this charge, so answer the call of YOUR citizens and run for the President, you simply have no moral authority to deny this country that chance. May God be with you, your family, and this great nation Mr. President. a young believer

General Wesley Clark: I am going to be optimistic and assume you are planning to declare yourself a presidential candidate. There are two issues I believe would enhance your campaign. The first is in the area of education. I have met quite a few young people (20's to 30's) who have surprised me by their support of a neoconservative policy. I made it my business to talk to several of them in an effort to find out why. This is my observation. They became politically aware during the Clinton presidency. They lacked the political sophistication to see the puerile, relentless attacks on Clinton as other than SOP. From their standpoint, politics are always polarized. They have no historical comparisons. They believe what they see. That led me to wonder why they accepted this so easily, what have they learned in school about our government, our political history? So, I began talking to them about that. The Revolution is covered in elementary school, and there's a bit about which states entered the Union when, and it's topped off by high school civics. Well, there you have it. Why isn't the political history of our country and its interaction with the rest of the world as important as the three R's? Your position that this country's military role in the world has lost focus since the cold war is, in my opinion, absolutely correct. But how can we expect public involvement in this or any other federal policy, when the citizens of the country lack necessary understanding of key issues? I believe that education in US history and politics should start in elementary school, and continue intensively through high school; that it should be an education in realities, not just the glory that is us (or US). Economic reasons for the Revolution, slavery, the Civil War, how we got involved in the World Wars, in Vietnam, should be part of our shared knowledge. The dirty side of politics should be brought forward for discussion. Students should be able to debate issues like corporate power vs. human rights, with an understanding of the interdependencies. They should learn to think through the repercussions of a particular course of action. Grey areas, like when can this country legitimately deal with a nation with a questionable history, should be discussed. Likewise what kinds of demands can one sovereign nation make on another? What are the key elements of a democracy? What is actually in our Constitution and its amendments? What do you need to know to separate fact from fiction? What resources are available if you want to look into the background of a particular politician? How do you make your voice heard? How important is it that a politician be 'above reproach'? The humanity of our politicians should be studied right along with their accomplishments. India is now producing a superb group of computer technicians. Many of them are taking jobs in this country for greatly reduced salaries. There is a reason for this. Their government made the decision many years ago that its best resource was its people. They developed an innovative technical training system that sounds incomparable, and made it available to all students who meet the entry requirements. We can do that, too, in technology or anything else, if we can get back to the understanding that our best resource is ourselves, the people of the country. If we wish to remain the strongest nation of free people, we must have the citizens best educated in what kind of governing body is required by a free people. This is the first installment. I have a feeling my second issue will overwhelm the space limitations of the Email form.

General Clark, I write this with hope that you will become an official candidate for the presidency. I feel that you are the most qaulified person to lead our country through the uncertain and unfortunate times that have been created, in part by the current leadership. I must tell you that a very dear person in my life is someone who has suffered under the Saddam Hussein regime. Togather we both watched as the invasion of Iraq unfoled. We watched the commentary by some retired armed forces personell, which seemed to be as ruthless as Saddam Hussein himself. Only one man stood out as being well informed and compassionate. That man was you, General Clark. I remember one event during the invasion in which a stream of hundreds of Iraqi soldiers were sighted traveling down a highway from the North. Many of them were shoeless and gaunt from days of no food and little shelter or water. They were trying to go back to their homes in the South of Iraq. Their commanders had taken their id's and left them to their fate. That stream of men trying to go home was a thing I will always remember. And, I will always remember the genuine concern that you displayed while you watched those men travel. You wanted to know who they were, and then when it was said that they were Iraqi conscripts trying to find their way home and that they hadn't had a decent meal or water, and that their trip would take them at least 3 days more without shoes and water, you said someone needed to help theses men. Why weren't "we" giving them aid? I knew then that you were a good person who had even more potential than leading NATO. My Iraqi friend saw you speaking later on and said, "Whos is that man? He has kind eyes." My friend has seen the eyes of many cruel people in his life, and has had to rely on his instincts to survive many treachorous situations, so I have learned to trust his judgement. Ihope you will give me the opportunity to vote for you by running for the White House in 2004. *If my friend is called to his citizenship ceremony before the election he will most certainly cast his first vote in his life for you!

Dear Gen. Clark, I am an active supporter that looks forward to your entry into the presidential race this week. So far, there is a gender gap that is limiting your support. I hope that your campaign will reach out to women and progressive voters by refraining from the use of military jargon. The value of your military experience speak for itself. The best advice may come from President Clinton who told Democrats in Iowa last weekend that the key to success in 2004 was a rhetoric that engages voters with humor and passion. Good luck!

Americans need to see that a gently yoked government can lead us towards a better future. Please provide the hand that guides the reins. Sincerely, Ted Baughman

Dear General Clark: Put me on your list of volunteers. I am a Texas Democrat that has been in political hibernation for 2 1/2 years. I have needed a reason to get active. The possibity of your campaign has given me hope that the Democrats might have a fighting chance in this contest. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I am only 19, thus, this is upcoming presidential election will be my first opportunity to endorse a presidential candidate. Please run for office, so I will not have to vote hesitantly for someone else. Consider it for the people of the world...we need you more than ever.

The UN's senior weapons inspectors now say they believe Saddam Hussein was telling the truth when he claimed he had no weapons of mass destruction. This means that the Bush/Cheney regime lied, and now wants even more of our taxpayer dollars to fund a fraudulent war for the neo-cons. Time to JUST SAY NO, and make this very wealthy administration cough up the money for their mistakes and mendacity. Maybe even some of these corporate campaign donors will help out this scary administration in their time of need. Time for the Bush/Cheney RECALL, and send them to jail for their lying ways in order to hide the 9/11 truths and criminal invasion of Iraq. Enough is certainly enough, and the American people deserve better!! America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Please consider if you run and win the nomination to select Ed Rendell of PA as a running mate. I believe Pennsylvania has the potential to be to Election 2004, what Florida was to Election 2000.

15 Sep 2003 Wesley Clark General Sir, I received the letter below from a friend. I became quite excited after reading some of your many accomplishments and even more excited with the thought of a man with character such as yours taking control, of this out of control state we're presently in at this time. I used to believe that the only man that can save our country from continual spiral into the abyss is Colin Powell. Quite honestly, he's the only reason why I sleep well at night. But now he's leaving the administration, leaving the "Hawks" play Holy Roman Empire in the middle East at the cost of young Marines & Soldiers lives. As well as blackening the name of the United States in most every home around the globe. After September 11th the world rallied around the U.S. It was up to the President what to do with that worldwide support. Obviously that support has turned into hatred. I myself the most patriotic person I know am embarrassed shocked and ashamed of how the world views the current administrations corrupt decisions and us. I also am a US Marine (1989-1993) therefor it is my duty to defend the troops and support this war- in which I really thought we should not participate in from the beginning. The arguments for the war I cannot defend any longer. And the pride in this country that has always been one of the biggest parts of my character is slipping, turning the animated into the apathetic with no light at the end of the tunnel. These so-called Democratic Presidential candidates are nothing more then spineless bureaucrats whose only motivation is to save their jobs by playing safe on both sides of the fence. The make me ill, the way they turned their back on the opposition for war. Now when thing have gone somewhat a rye they choose to pick it apart. The only thing I can think f is SHAME ON THEM! I wouldn’t give any of them the time of day let alone my vote. General Sir, I really believe you are a man of integrity, intelligence and most of all conviction to do the right thing. You are the cure for the disease that is decaying our countries foundation and principals. I pray you make the correct decision and undertake the largest challenge of your life. If you choose to do so, I for one will preach your name like the Almighty himself. Thank you for your attention and good like on your decision. Sincerely and cordially, Adam Hall Hey- I don't know what your political stances are. But if your like me, your pretty pissed off at G.W. and your pretty disappointed in the Democrats...so far, or at least the fact that all the candidates that are running (currently) do not have a chance in hell. Even Dean who I like but is un-electable due to the fact that he's a patsy and is too liberal for the middle will not have a chance in 04. Next week everything can change. If you do not know about Wesley Clark its time that you check into him. Next week he's planning on announcing if he is going to run or not. Many of you might be asking "who is Wesley Clark"??? This is the man who can defeat Bush. He maybe the most qualified man to run for president in our lifetime. He is a man with integrity and he kicks much ass. He's a retired four star general with every honor a soldier can have in this country. He has been knighted by England and Denmark He speaks 4 different languages. He went into Kosovo as the Nato Supreme Camander and took out Milosovich without one American soldier killed. He graduated tops of his class at West Point. He has a masters degree in Economics, Philosohy and Politcs from OXFORD. He is a RHODES SCHOLAR. 10 years ago they had a test for the top 5000 military officers on where the geo-political enviorment and world military powers would be in 10 years. In 2000 they looked at the results and lhe finished 1st with his predictions out of 5000. The best part is he is a Democrat, With a sense of business (currently he runs his own money management consulting firm) and he is against the idea of attacking statehoods (Iraq) and is for going after terrorst organizations. He'll get us out of Iraq with saving face with the ARABS and give Iraq control of its own country with the help of the UN. (similar to how Eisenhower did in Korea when he took office) He can beat Bush and all I have to say is please go to this website and read more about him-https://www.draftwesleyclark.com/ I think you'll realize that there can be someone else who can kick ass other then Bush- Thanks for my reading my ramble- Darrell

Gen. Clark: We do so hope you will announce candidancy. We have been longing for you to enter the race for months and months. One night during the "awe and shock" show we waged, you were on CNN with Aaron Brown. My husband and I sat spellbound as you conversed with Brown. After you finished expressing your thoughts, my husband looked across the room at me and said, "That man needs to be President of our country!" We were so impressed with you that night and have read everything we could about you and your views. Nothing we have read has changed our opinion about you except to just strengthen our impression of you. We have watched with much interest over these past few months as you have consider entering the race. We long to see you do so. We firmly believe that Bush is beatable and that you are the one persn who can do it! Go for it, General Clark! We will do all we can to spread the word and campaign for you. Over these past few months we have already been spreading the word about you to everyone we know--calling you "our man for 2004". Please run. We know you can beat Bush (that is, if Bush and his cronies don't manipulate the voting machines) and give our country back to the American people! Let's charge ahead, Gen. Clark. With appreciation for all you stand for, Edna and George Langley Birmingham, AL

General Clark, I will raise another voice asking you to run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2004. Please help to restore this democracy and to wrest control of this country from a small oligarchy of wealthy tyrants who have spit all over the vast majority of American citizens and have sought to convince us that it is raining. For those of us who see clearly that the only people who have benefitted from the Bush presidency are the Bushes and a select few of their very, very rich friends I ask you to help restore the credibility of the Democratic Party by running as a voice of dissent. Thank you, Noah Zinner

The excitement is palpable this week with the prospect of your announcement. I have already spread the word about you for months. You would easily win Illinois' electoral votes in 2004. Illinois has become a much more Democratic state in recent years (our governor broke the Republican stranglehold last year and our legislature is all Democratic) even though I live in Denny Hastert's district. But you have and will have many supporters in this state--you have just the sort of appeal that Illinois likes. By the way, please do not choose Howard Dean for your vp--his appeal is already fading and he would be too easy a target for Republicans. Someone like Bill Richardson or Joseph Biden would be much wiser. We're waiting for your announcement!

General Clark, My name is Peter Maybarduk. I am a 24-year old student of anthropology and the son of a career foreign service officer. My family has served in New Guinea, Mexico, Nicaragua, Sierra Leone, Cuba and Venezuela. Presently I work in Washington, DC, in a Ralph Nader-founded organization. In 2000, I voted and campaigned for the Nader/LaDuke ticket. In 2004, I hope to again be able to vote and campaign for a man of integrity - which I perceive you to be. I know Howard Dean has discussed with you the possibility of joining the Dean campaign as the Governor's running mate. I am suspicious of Governor Dean. He has changed positions on policy matters at times when it is greatly convenient for him to do so (NAFTA/WTO, for example). He seems inclined to present a markedly different version of himself and of his positions depending on the group to which he speaks. Further, his record suggests to me that he would not resist the pressure of special interests while serving in Washington. Suffice to say I consider you to be the superior man for the job. Perhaps Gov. Dean could ask to be your running mate. But a better choice, should he be willing, would be Ralph Nader. A place for Mr. Nader in high office is long overdue. As the Office of President confers upon its bearer great power, the single most important attribute that a President ought have is integrity - lest that power be greatly abused. A President's position on issues of the day is secondary - for these can be debated and refined, if a President is willing to speak plainly and listen in turn to the American people. By my calculations, it has been 23 years since a sitting President valued integrity. General Clark, please run for the Office of President of the United States. Should you do so, I will volunteer for your campaign, and donate what meager funds I can. Respectfully, Peter Maybarduk Civic Organizer 202.667.4033 [email protected]

Dear General Clark, As a resident alien, I cannot vote, but I can sincerely ask you to step up and run for president of the US so that those who are in the position to vote will have a strong candidate. You have a vision of the world wherein the US is a member of the international team, not one of the "rogue nations" who does not care about others and runs foul of every international law and principle set forth for the world's nations to respect in order to try to live in peace and prosperity. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

You will most definitely set new standards for the Democratic Party. Hell, the Howard Dean's and AL Sharpton's types may just go away and form their own party. Not that they aren't good people, they just give me the Chills the more I learn about them. I guess I do have one interest, DON’T LET DEAN RIDE SHOOTGUN. STAY CENTER AND FOCUSED.

Dear General Clark, I think you would be a fine presidential candidate. I admire your courage throughout the past year in opposing the war on Iraq in the face of the hypocritical Rupublican commentary. However, I believe that the most effective way for you to assist in the dethroning of Bush (because let's face it, he was not elected) is to join the Howard Dean ticket. The two of you would represent a fiscally conservative, socially responsible ticket that would be impossible for even Karl Rove to contend with. Long before your meeting in California I have thought that this would be the most effective team to unseat Bush and his cronies. I wish you the best of luck if you do choose to run. Thank you for considering my comments.

General Clark, I fear that our current President will be re-elected next year, despite his inadequacy. We need a president who is experienced in foreign affairs yet values the principles upon which our country was founded. We must put renewed emphasis on civil liberties and our economy and focus less on spin on soundbites that whip the public into an aggressive furor! Defeating George W. Bush next year will not be easy, which is why we need a candidate with your military and economic credentials who will be able to make a strong case against the current regime.

I'm sure you are recieving hundreds, maybe even thousands of letters and emails regarding the possiblity of you running for president. And this is another one. I am a female college student, one who is not ideally in tune to the day to day politics but regards it when necessary. After reading the powerful letter written to you by Michael Moore, as well as your biography and your views on the most controversial issues, I, too, am asking you to run for President. Maybe its because you support multiculturalism, you show concern for the welfare of all classes in this country, you do not discriminate against women or gays, and you are prochoice. We need someone like you to lead us out of the hole we (and by we, I mean our current leader and administration) dug ourselves into. We need someone like you to reestablish strong bonds with our foreign neighbors, and not try to hold onto the delusion of the US maintaining its hegemonic power. We need someone like you who actually gives a damn about the individuals who live in this country. Please run for President, General Clark. I would be honored to vote for the very first time (I'm 19 yrs old) for you as our President. Sincerely, Marisa Moore.

Dear Gen. Clark, I am one of many Americans who would be uplifted and inspired by your presidential candidacy. I share the belief that you may be the only one who can defeat Bush, and take our country off its present path of bellicose unilateralism abroad, and corporate state militarism at home. (It’s ironic that a general may be the leader needed to check the rash, cavalier use of our super-power war machine.) It is, of course, evident that, if you do become our presidential candidate, you will face very formidable obstacles. The first and most obvious is apt to be a vast concerted effort by the extreme right to defame you, since you pose a grave and unexpected challenge to their mounting power. (My guess is: the zealotry of that right wing campaign will surpass the barrage unleashed against the Clintons ) In my view, however, the more critical challenge to your success has to do with the style and character of your election campaign. I respectfully suggest that the dangerous pitfalls to be avoided are: 1) a “Gore” the public approach which is overtly “political”, stiff and formulaic 3) an attitude that is boastful of past wisdom, and sensitively defensive towards any criticism. 3) any tone of weakness in the war on terror and 4) a policy platform that is so one sided that it fails to connect with middle America. In short, it is my rather presumptuous notion that, while attacking the awful failures of the Bush Administration, you need to frame your case in a way that appeals to the critical swing vote in America. Tonally, that means blending Truman plain talk with FDR humor and grace. Policywise, it means that mediating differences is as important as any necessarily partisan attack. That leadership approach requires the rare combination of candor, wit and wisdom which I believe you possess. Irwin Shishko

Dear General Clark, My 16 year-old son met you when you were in Knoxville last weekend. I wish I could have been with him to hear you myself. Of all the Democratic hopefuls, you alone have the brains, the experience and the "electability" to beat Bush. That's a good start. However, I believe you also have excellent qualifications and skills to actually govern and begin to fix the mess the last 25 years have put us in. By the way, my son has strict instructions to send your regards to my cousin, Jack Price (USMA '64). Last time I saw him, he and Sam were picking blackberries on a hill in Virginia. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times.

Ret. General Clark, The very principals of democracy have been violated by allowing in such imbecility to the point that the United States citizens are being railroaded down a path that is neither desirable or acceptable. For the past three years I have actively voiced opposition concerning the conservative agenda bolstered by Republicans. Since, the 2001 presidential election and 9-11, I have been increasingly embarrassed and astonished at how Democrats have yielded to Republicans on public and foreign policies. The Democratic leadership of Tom Daschle, Joe Lieberman and Edward Kennedy have consistently conceded numerous agenda items (save those concerning judges) to Republicans in fear of being labeled unpatriotic. In a matter of two years, President Bush's administration has almost completely obliterated all the progress achieved by the previous adminstration in foreign affairs and economic recovery. With the exception of Great Britain (thanks to the politically suicidal actions of Tony Blair), the majority of the United Nations has scorned the US for actions involving Iraq and Afghanistan. The world economy has steady disintegrated in coordination with the US economy and when confronted with this dilemma, President Bush once again looked to his advisors for guidance. Their guidance, tax cuts, not just any tax cuts though, cuts that would fill the pockets of high placed corporate and oil friends, leaving the masses struggling to feed themselves and afford artificially heightened energy bills. With the scandals of Enron and WorldCom, the greedy truth about those corporate friends was made public, along with information concerning the enormous amounts of money they stole. Their close political ties, though, have allowed them to drag out trials and commute jail sentences, in some cases evading prosecution at all. In their traditional two faced approach, the administration has unconstitutionally used the Patriot Acts as justification for actions of the FBI, CIA and NSA in stripping naturalized citizens, foreign nationals and legal immigrants of their civil liberties. Attorney General Ashcroft has done his best not to pursue actions against the monopolistic practices of Microsoft and the NRAA. His comments concerning affirmative action and abortion only make one cringe at the thought of his power, while watching him sit idly by as the White House firmly crossed the line separating church and state with its Interfaith Aid Agency (located in the White House). Morally the administration has led the entire country astray. Having not attend a religious service for two years prier to being elected, Bush has become the embodiment of the good Christian family man. To create this image, Republicans have pushed aside shady aspects of his previous years concerning use of cocaine and the entire year of National Guard duty he skipped out on. Our country, and the world, needs a great leader to bring some credibility and integrity back to the political landscape. To many people distrust their elected officials and having lost faith in the ability of the government to lookout for the people's best interest. Tony Blair has committed political suicide and can no longer be looked to as a voice of reason and hope. Germany and France have internal issues that make affairs with the US flared at best. Russia is constantly in the throws of political unbalance, with no solid leadership to unite the country behind a single goal. So who is to protect democracy and confront tyrants and terrorism. The United Nations does not have the military resources or power to undertake such activities and though NATO does, it is comprised to protect Europe not monitor the world. Yet, even though NATO and the UN have been willing to assist the US, the administration repeatedly thumbed its nose, decidedly proceeding about its own agenda. The United States is not capable of sustaining the isolationist policies bolstered by the current administration, while consistently rolling over smaller/poorer countries to serve the best interests of corporate America. We need a leader that is strong, smart and morally “untainted”. I am aware that every politician and high profiled individual has skeletons (some more than others), but that should not dissuade anyone from trying to make a difference. At this moment you have all the qualities of a great leader and the credentials to back those qualities. As former NATO leader you have to ability correct relationships with Europe and Asia. As a former four star general, you understand the nature of war, the effects it has on soldiers and civilians and the requirements in rebuilding a country. Our nation needs to be rebuilt, we need a strong leader to rally behind and stand for our rights. The civil rights movement in the 60's was great because it rallied behind a great man. Martin Luther King, Jr. directly confronted discrimination and prejudice, showing a strength and resolve that inspired a whole generation to raise from the shadows and march on Washington. Now more then ever the citizens of the United States are at their most vulnerable, as the dust has begun to settle they are slowly coming to realize that this is not the way America was meant to be. Yet when they look to their leaders for inspiration and guidance, all they see are cowardice and greed. Too many of today's politicians have sacrificed up their commitment to the American people in return for money and power. They now longer wish to see or do what is best for the American people only that which is best for them. A pledge to service which has been taken by so many is now no more than a common joke told by those in office before they light their cigars. All the citizens of this country require is a figure head, someone they can rally behind with confidence and pride. Please step forward and be that figure head.

Dear General, Since I first heard of you, I have had the chance to listen to many of your interviews on digitalclark.com. Not only do you have a sound grasp of the issues, but you express it very articulately. The world is an incredibly complex place especially post-9/11. Our current President cannot grapple with this complexity so to cope he depends on aides who simplify situtations for him. But this is incredibly dangerous because the world is not black and white. We need a president who can graple with this complexity and who can then articulately communicate his vision to the American public. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, My name is Cindy Bowman and I am the wife of Capt. Silas Bowman, commander of A co., 54th ENG BN. He is currently serving his 1 year tour in Iraq. He left on Feb 12, 2003 and I hope to see him again Feb 12, 2004. I am writing to urge you to run for president. I have read many articles about you and know that you are still in the deciding phase, but will announce your plans soon. I think you are the best man for this job. I am taking this next election very personally since my family has been so affected by the very poor planning of this administration. You have an impeccable record and you are obviously a very intelligent man. And since you have already gained international respect, you may be the only man who can help our foreign policy crisis. My husband's unit is stationed in Germany and we arrived there on Sept 27, 01. I remember that at that time, the Germans were still placing flowers at our gates and treating us with respect in their stores and restaurants. Only two years later, in the same place, I must be so discreet so that no one knows I am an American. We need a president who allows us to be proud of our country. There are many military members who are republican, as I am sure you know. And in this next election they will be torn between feelings of loyalty to that party and feelings of disappointment in Bush's performance. You are the man for them, too. You are someone that every military member can be proud to support, regardless of party affiliation. For me, you are the clear, stand out candidate. I think you could win the presidency. I am already talking to friends and family about you and if you run, I will support you fully. I pledge to wear your pins, and hang your signs everyday until you are elected. Please run for president! Respectfully, Cindy Bowman

I'm looking forward to your announcement (could be Sept. 19th?) and to being some help in your campaign to win the nomination and afterwards to work for your election. I've got my fingers crossed that you will say yes September 19, 2003.

General Clark, You have given much to your country, but never has it needed you more than now. Your multilateral approach and experience is foreign policy has never been needed more than now. We must restore the bonds with our allies that the Bush administration has so severely damaged. Moreover, the Bush administration has undermined the fundamental economic fairness that is the cornerstone of our nation. Tax cuts for the wealthy are undermining our childrens' future and jeopardizing our democracy. Your fearless acceptance of the mantel of liberalism is an inspiration. We must take back the word liberal and take back our country. I implore you to run and will do whatever I can to assist in that effort.

I became aware of you while watching Meet the Press. I believe you are a far superior candidate to Howard Dean, and much more electable. We need you. As I heard George Soros say on NOW last night, the Bush administration has been hijacked by extremists and if he is re-elected, that means we are saying we stand behind them. That is a very dangerous position for us to take. The Bush administration is ruining our country. PLEASE RUN and get your name out there so more people become aware of you. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, This is the third letter I've written you to express my hope that you'll decide to run for the Presidency. Our country needs someone with your character and intelligence to restore our democracy to what it should be. We need someone who can regain the respect from our allies that has been so damaged by Bush and Cheney. We need someone who will help those who truly need it as opposed to Bush's helping only the rich. We need someone who will protect the environment for future generations instead of ruining it as Bush has done. General Clark, our country needs you. Sincerely, William R. Underhill

Dear General Wesley Clark: I do not wish, by any stretch of the imagination, to compare my military career to yours, but I would like to mention that I completed basic training during the summer between my junior and senior years of high school as a member of the Army Reserve, and later endured the Marine Corps’ version of boot camp as an active-duty enlistee. While I was proud to have earned meritorious promotions and letters of commendation from my commanding officers, I ultimately received a medical discharge. In truth, I had by that time determined that the military life was not for me. Had I been exposed to your philosophies of service and leadership, however, I might have contested the medical ruling and pursued a full career. Today, some twenty years later, I am far more concerned with ensuring a hopeful future for my children than loading my shirtsleeve with stripes. Whenever my somewhat precocious children speak of the future, their dreams for a fulfilling life seem quelled by concerns of war, environmental destruction, and increasing limitation of “equal” opportunity to those of greater economic means. I am heartsick at the thought that seeds of despair have already been sewn in the fallow fields of their budding potential. As I consider the shameful depths to which the present administration had plunged this nation, I feel a profound sense of betrayal and grow increasingly angry with the announcement each new Orwellian domestic policy and the perpetuation of each deadly lie. In contrast, as I consider your positions and qualifications, I am literally moved to tears -- tears of hope for every child in America. You are uniquely qualified to lead this great and once respected nation back to the true and righteous principles of our founding. Please run, General Clark. We, who know and love the true ideals of the United States of America, will not fail you. Sincerely, Robert Hammer

Sir: All that is necessary for poor leaders to lead is for good leaders to do nothing. I feel that at some time during the next year some who favor the status quo will try to paint the opposition as a composite favoring civil unions, trial lawyers etc. It would be nice if an accurate composite of the Democratic candidates included a West Point graduate (like Ike), a Rhodes Scholar (like Clinton), and a real warrior, shot up or shot down, (like Bush 41). America needs a new president. I really think you can win Oklahoma in February AND November. I plan to help! Please Run, Sir

Cheney also seemed to broaden the intelligence on other alleged al Qaeda connections with Hussein, saying, "The Iraqi government or the Iraqi intelligence service had a relationship with al Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the '90s." Up to now, administration officials and CIA documents have said there had been eight meetings, primarily in the early 1990s, when bin Laden was in Sudan. Cheney was less forthcoming when asked about Saudi Arabia's ties to al Qaeda and the Sept. 11 hijackers. "I don't want to speculate," he said, adding that Sept. 11 is "over with now, it's done, it's history and we can put it behind us."----Wash. Post Sept. 15, 2003. This says it all General. Quick to link Iraq to al Queda with little to no evidence other than "intelligence" that nobody can see, but dismisses the Saudi's role because 9/11 is "history" although we seemingly have the evidence that links them. Is that all 9/11 is to Cheney? Just "history"? I guess the victims of this attack aren't worth remembering then if the Saudi's are linked to the attack. He can speculate when it comes to Iraq but refuses to speculate on the Saudi's. It only makes sense that if this Administration is do hell bent on linking Saddam to 9/11, they would reveal to proof. I find it ironic that they delete intelligence info in the NIE that may link 9/11 to the Saudi's but offer only rhetoric and no proof about Saddam's alleged involvement. I guess American blood isn't thicker than oil. General this is getting more ridiculous by the day. If this isn't proof that we need a leader like you for President then I don't know what is.

Gen. Clark- The political division in this country is ridiculous. The time for squabbling and bickering was over ten years ago- with no real threat in the world (other than those that our "foreign policies" create) the direction that the United States is currently pursuing only beckons its demise. We need leadership that is not afraid to look beyond the whimsical interest in global markets. World stability should be only the first building block in our strategy- instead of foolishly fighting everyone down, the United States should be leading forward. I think that you could take advantage of the time in which we live better than any of the politically-minded (and those who are more concerned with subsistence-level rather than outlining plans for the future), due to the absolute contrast between the other candidates and yourself. We need people of substance, dignity, and honor- words that have become marketing terms, that used to be truths to live towards. Lead by example! The current state of affairs is bewildering, and through the chosen policies, seems hopeless. Sir, we need your experience in running this situation. Good Luck!!! Joshua Dolby PS I think that you are well prepared for the ugly side of this, but I wish you the best. I am sure that your family is well prepared for this long, hard race but I hope that they can be of comfort and protection to you when you need it!

To all of you "unbeatable" "dreamteam" Dean fanatics that have decided to infiltrate the Website for the General's PRESIDENCY: GO HOME! YOUR BOY DEAN IS ALL BARK AND NO BITE. You're all like gnats on a dogs butt and you're doing a disservice to our country. If you're so confident in your candidate, then you would be comfortable with him on his own as a candidate and not scared that the General will run in the primary against him. I'm comfortable with the General as a lone candidate at this point. Don't you guys think Dean can win without the General? If that answer is yes then you don't need to write asking for the General to run as VP. If no, then who do you think deserves to be President because the General can do it without Dean. He endorsed by the Clinton's and many prominent POLITICAL INSIDERS and he hasn't even run yet. You're weak without him but he's not weak without Dean. THE DEAN'S LACK FAITH IN THEIR LEADER WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO DISRUPT THE GENERAL'S PRESIDENCY BID. We don't lack faith in your leadership General which is why we're not infiltrating the Dean's websites with scared rhetoric.

Last week while watching the Democratic debate in New Mexico, I couldn't help but wonder (as I imagine many others were also) which one of those candidates could actually beat Bush and also be capable of cleaning up the mess he has gotten this country into. I didn't come away with a good sense that any of them could win. Then the other night I read the open letter to you from Michael Moore, and have been doing some further reading and I have a good feeling about you. I believe you could win the election. And equally important, you seem highly qualified to help put this country back together. Many times in the last few decades it has come down to voting for the "lesser of two evils". How grand it would be to acually be able vote someone who you truly wanted to lead this country. A true leader with integrity, intellegence, thoughtfullness and truthfullness. From everything I have read about you, General Clark, you sound like the person for the job. America needs you. Please run for president.

Put the Far-left Radical in the White House and see how fast we become even more divided. I've gone to some of his meet-ups and all I saw were party revelers and/or special interests groups whose sole goal is to tear down America and put us at the mercy of SOCIALIST IDEOLOGUES. THIS WILL NOT STAND. I HOPE AND PRAY THE GENERAL IS WISE ENOUGH TO SEE THIS TOO. MR. ROVE WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY WITH DEAN.

Gen Clark, Do It. People will pay attention. Otherwise, the viable two party system you endorse will drift towards a one sided sweep. Not because they are right, but because we did not have anybody to tie us together and bring others on board. You know the old term about individual people being "the glue" that holds families or organizations together? The democratic party needs that, and more importantly, the United States needs that. I believe you have that quality, and that it is unique in the current field of democratic hopefuls. The current field will bring defeat, we need glue. Take care, Brian

General Clark, Of course I agree with all that was expressed in the form letter (https://www.draftwesleyclark.com/send_a_letter.htm but I wanted to add an Australian perspective. I am ashamed that our Australian Government contributed to what was clearly a regional political power play in Iraq. It seems that the US supports murderous dictators as "friends" when it suits and makes up excuses to remove them when it doesn't. It is very depressing that the Australian Government did not have the guts to disagree with the US. It is more depressing that the situation would likely have not been much different with the Labor Party in power. As far as I can see, the US does not represent the "home of the brave and the land of the free" but in fact just the opposite quite frequently. The ruthless suppression of the powerless and defenceless in the interests of US (corporate) greed and power is appalling. It would be bad enough if it were limited to the continental US but it extends around the world. It seems the only hope to improve the situation domestically and internationally is the US Democratic Party but that assumes that it has the leadership with the guts to stand up for human values rather than corporate values. I hope you can make a difference. Regards, Phil.

General Clark, I've been able to vote since 1990. And in every Presidential race, I've voted for "the lesser of two evils." I'm tired of voting for evils. I want to vote for someone with integrity for a change. Someone who's honest; who stands up for his own beliefs. Someone who has served his country. Someone who values freedom and community. You fit the bill. PLEASE run for President. We need you.

General Clark, America does needs you, and I would like to help you become president. We met years ago when you were commanding the 1st Cav Div. During that time, I had an opportunity to work with you, and to witness your leadership first hand. I believe you are what America needs! As I mentioned before, I not only support you as a presidential candidate, but would like to actively assist in your election campaign. Sal Beltran

General Clark, it will not be difficult addressing you as President Clark! Last night at the Truman Dinner in Knoxville, Tennessee, you said all of the right things- you motivated the crowd. You were Presidential. Thank you for coming to East Tennessee, and thank you for running for the toughest job in the land. We Americans, especially Democrats, are a bruised and wary people just now. It has been hard for all Americans to see a stable economy reduced to shambles and foreign policy destroyed. Nine good candidates are running in the Democratic primary, but you, General, are the perfect man for the most difficult task... putting our country back together again. We, your supporters, will get the people out to vote; America desparately needs you in the White House to set about healing the damage our country has sufferd during the last three years. Your character and military brillance speak volumes to the people. No one can minimize your foreign relations experience. Your leadership qualities are apparent- there is such a difference when spoken to.... people are sick to death of swaggering, blustering, tempting fate and engendering hate. Democrats are yours for the commitment to candidacy. Many Independents and disillusioned Republicans will realize your unselfishness, decency, bravery, and capability to be President. America will elect you. Tennessee Democrats smiled with genuine hope last night for the first time since 2000! The people followed you to the door as if you were the pied piper! Please excuse our zealous enthusiasm, Tennesseans are usually more considerate, but we hated to see a common sense person with all the right stuff slip through our doors without the promise to be our presidential candidate! My suits are pressed, and your sleeves are rolled up... East Tennessee may be a Republican hotbed, but they, too, are common sense folks. I look forward to getting the Blount County/E. Tennessee vote for you! Already there are people who are anxious to help. My phone has not stopped ringing today! When do we start? Karen M.

Gen. Clark, This is the second time I have written to you. I am finishing my MS degree this semester and putting the final touches on my thesis, but as busy as I am I would take the time to participate in a campaign if you were to lead it. I am grateful for your perspectives on social justice, the environment, and the need to work together with other nations regaurdless of how right we (the US) might feel we are. I appreciate that you are a thoughtful and rational person (at least from what I've read). And, I am asking you to consider, not only the positive contributions that you can make to our country, but also the negative contributions you can prevent our country from enduring. It is time for a leader to step forward. I understand your reluctance to put yourself and your family under the scrutiny that a presidential race may bring. Yet, as much of a burden it may be, it is also an opportunity that is not presented to every person in their life time. You are at the cross roads of history that the most idealistic of us hope you will realize. Please, consider this an opportunity and not a burden and enter this race for everybody who needs you to stand for them. Thank you, Dijar J. Lutz-Carrillo

Wesley Clark, you need to run for President, man. I think one of the most neglected parts of our society is young people. I've heard that some of the reasons for this are that young people don't vote. But this bothers me because it seems to me that presidential candidates don't really pay attention to people that are 18-25 year olds, so why would they vote? Sure they have their standard appearance on the MTV, they shake hands with Carson Daly, talk about how "really super" that new Ashanti video is and I suppose in their minds that fills their quota for the young people. But just because a candidate appears on MTV once and pretends to be "hip to the now" doesn't mean they really care about the younger people in America. I understand that MTV is a good way to reach young people but that simply isn't enough. I think there ought to be rallies at colleges where all people can attend and address issues with candidates. I think if candidates really cared about the youth of America there would be people who represent the candidate handing out fliers at high schools, colleges, malls, even concerts. Candidates should appear on radio and television shows (on MORE than one channel) that young people watch and not be afraid to talk about pressing issues that apply to all people in the United States. I believe that if young people saw that they were being paid attention to, they would reciprocate the consideration. If a candidate took a strong stance with the youth of America it would be monumental. If a candidate encouraged young people to register and to vote and actually got them to register and to vote it would be historic. I think that one of the reasons young people don't vote is because they don't pay attention to politics. Why would they pay attention to politics when the government doesn't seem to care about them? If the future really does belong to the youth of today, then our government needs to show that it has confidence in our young people. I believe that you can do many of the things that I have listed here in the letter. I believe that if you ran for President and really tackled the issues and made a solid effort to include America's youth, and rallied their support, you would defeat the so-called current commander-in-chief. I have confidence that if you do capture the attention of young people, you will become the next President of the United States. My name is Joe and I'm a young person. You've got my attention.

America needs a new president, which is an understatement at best. I feel that if you consent to apply for this time consuming and nearly thankless job, you could perhaps succeed in recreating some of the millions of jobs that have abolished by the Bush administration. I also feel that you posess the analytical mind and skills needed to begin to get this country out of the worst financial mess that we have ever been in. Additionally, I feel that you have the foreign affairs expertise to mend bridges that Bush has done his best to burn. In short, sir, like it or not, I feel that perhaps you sense a duty that you can not ignore. A calling that needs to be answered. A challenge that can not, in all good conscience can not be turned away from. General Clark, I urge you to accept the challenge presented to you. I feel that your strength of character, good manners, intelligence and integrity will help America and Americans to redefine our place in our world and our place in time. I look forward to hearing of your application for President of the United States. Best regards, McKinsey Stargard

Sir, I don't think there is much more that needs to be said. The stage has been set, this is your time, and America desperately needs you. In the last three years I have seen my expectations of military service make a 180 degree turn. Morale has taken a hit as Iraq and Afghanistan loom in our future. The challenges I will soon face are daunting. However, with you as my leader, a leader that I can trust and who I know understands and appreciates the sacrifices of our armed forces, I will be more than willing to confidently and without any reservation take on those challenges that lie ahead. I have never been under your command, but I sincerely hope you grant the opportunity for me to serve with you. Gem E. McCreary USMA Class of 2003

Dear General Clark, I will put it simply, although I know I will be saying what thousands have already said: You must run for President. My wife, God bless her, has already given money to the Dean campaign, and for all the right reasons. But she, and thousands if not millions of others I suspect, would readily support you because you embody all the positive ideals of a Howard Dean, but unlike Gov. Dean, I strongly believe that: 1. You have proven leadership abilities that go far beyond the state of Vermont. 2. You have credibility as a military professional who knows how to fight (and win), who is willing to fight (for the RIGHT reasons), who knows how to work with, not against, our allies, and perhaps most important of all, knows when NOT to fight. Unlike President Bush, you don't seem to need to prove your manhood by sending others to their death for falsified, egotistical and/or imperial reasons. 3. Nobody will call you "too afraid" to face up to terrorism. And yet all the indications are that you might actually lead a REAL fight against terrorism--one that confronts terror with wisdom and guts and not just bombs. You seem squarely opposed to the ineffective and dangerous neo-McCarthyism of the current so-called "war" against terrorism. 4. I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN ACTUALLY BEAT BUSH & CO. I urge you to run. Yours truly, Steve Eichel, Ph.D.

Dear General Clark, I was raised by a very savy father, who raised me to see both the greatness and the shadow sides of our great country. I am 43 years old now, and your bid for the presidency gives me more hope for the future of our country, and hence for the world, than any event during my lifetime. We are standing at a pivital moment in human history, and the fate of the planet itself is in our hands. We are the strongest and most influential nation on the face of this earth, and as a people, we are desperately in need of some savy leadership. I see no one else on the horizon with your combination of knowledge, credibility, intelligence, and integrity to inspire and guide not only the people of this coutry, but of the world into an age of wisdom and common sense. I know after all you and your family have already given in public service to the common good, this is asking a huge sacrifice from your personal lives. Yet, these are the most exciting and perilous of times, and we need strong leadership to draw us together to make safe this journey through the storms and tempests. We need your level head, keen intellect, and compassion to bind us together in this quest. i would give generously of both time and money to support you in these efforts. Thank you so much for moving beyond rhetoric, and addressing the real issues at hand. And to do so in a way that doesn't raise hackles and create further polarization is true diplomacy and a rare quality in these times. I believe both well educated and common people will rally behind you in droves. I have never prayed for anything so much in my life as in my desire for your leadership for our imperiled planet. God bless you and your family. Heidi Saugen

General Clark, I am a registered Independent voter. I've been following with great interest, the possibility of your candidacy for the presidency. For the record, I'd like to start by saying that, although I didn't vote for the current president, as an American, I fully supported him and the military operations in Afghanistan that followed in the aftermath of 09/11/01. However, since that time and our country's decision to invade and occupy Iraq, it's with great sadness that I have to say that my feelings are no longer as positive and hopeful for the future as they were prior to Mr Bush taking office. As a citizen, I am deeply troubled by the anger and hatred of Americans that seems to be growing around the world. As six-year veteran of the U.S. Army infantry (an 11B20 with 3rd/32nd Inf and later the 4th/21st Inf, 7th Inf Div), I am both troubled and saddened with what's happening to our troops. A few days ago, on the 2nd anniversary of the September 11th attack, I heard former New York mayor Rudulph Gulliani observe that he wasn't seeing as many flags flying or flag lapels as he had in the days, weeks and months following 9/11. I thought about that and agreed. I thought for a moment and wondered why that was, but it didn't take but a couple of seconds to figure it out. Like the rest of the world, which expressed and demontrated sympathy and support for our country two years ago, so much of that goodwill seems to have been washed away as a result of this war. In this country, I believe as the costs of the war, the years of occupation that will be required, the increasing loss of life and the billions of dollars it's going to take to try to rebuild that country, more and more people are going to be wondering to themselves if maybe this war wasn't such a good idea afterall, especially considering that the number one premise for the war -- weapons of mass destruction -- has yet to be proven! Now, we (the taxpayers) are being told it's going to take more money and when that's spent, probably more will be required after that, in a part of the world that always seems to be unstable. I'm afraid we might be getting ourselves bogged down in a civil war and have more than one enemy to fight. As one politcal commentator I heard remark over the weekend, "we have a pricetag, but no plan!" I've listened to some of your comments concerning some of these issues and I've learned a little bit about your background. I would definitely vote for you, should you decide to run! I'll take a army general over a pampered oilman any day! Whatever you decide to do, my best wishes and good luck to you, sir!

Dear General Wesly: I agree with what Mr Moore has said in his letter to you. I am not a celebrity or person of influence, but my wife and I offer you our votes. We are both retired persons, who happen to love our country, and are very proud to be Americans. I served Honorably with U.S. Army at the end of the second world war. I was only fifteen but lied about my age. When the Korean war started I voluntered and served with the First Marine Division. To be truthful I don't like the way our country is headed under the Bush Administration. We the people are being lied to. Bush's unilateralism is like a time bomb ready to esplode. This is scarey. I am quoting a letter my wife wrote to the editor regarding a reader's complaint about our government. It goes like this. " I have a note for the person who wonders what the letters U. S. means. It is a Republic made up of 50 States. It has been called the melting pot of the world. The people its citizens are all good. The surnames are known the world over. It has all races rich and poor. On July4, 1776, we declared our Independence along with the Rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Our creed is stated in the Preamble of the Constitution. The U. S. is a self ruling Government, ruled and regulated by votes. We elect into office people who regulate our desires, likes and dislikes. including payng taxes and fighting wars. Any man or woman who is too busy to be bothered to vote, or care less about elections have lost the right to complain the instant they deny themselves the power of their vote. Just imagine the silence if the deliquent voter would have to shut up. If we the people would just vote and follow the Golden Rule,"this Goverenment of the People by the People" shall again receive a new Birth of Freedom." I hope you decide to run for the Presidency of the United States. I believe you can lead our country the way it deserves to be run.

Dear General, I've written you three letters, but hell what's another one? You could beat GW Bush during a great economy, and you would CERTAINLY beat him during a terrible economy while we're waging our own oil-driven Vietnam. The thing is, all the fathead idiots like Hannity are constantly spewing this mindless drivel about how none of the present candidates has the qualifications to be Commander in Chief. Well they certainly aren't going to question your credentials now, are they? And they sure look pretty good up against a Texas Air National Guard deserting flight suit posing lameass like Bush, don't they? Please run General. I've never been excited about the prospect of someone running for president as I am about YOUR possible run. Please make it a reality. Our country desperately needs you.

Though I am a news junkie and an avid reader of politcal books and periodicals, I have never worked for a political campaign, nor have I ever been affiliated with a political party.

I have been a supporter of Howard Dean, but everything I have read about you so far looks great. I will be very interested in learning more about what you might do for the country. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, I feel very strongly that the next election involves nothing less than the determination of what kind of country and society we will come to be in this century. For the good of the American people and the world, a change in our current leadership and the direction in which it is leading us is essential. George W. Bush must be defeated, not because he is bad person but because he is an incompetent leader whose perception is wrong, his policies counter productive and his demeanor arrogant and petty. If I have learned nothing else in lifetime, I have developed the ability to tell the 'sizzle from the steak'. I can tell the difference between bravery and bravado, between certitude and truth, and between religion and religiosity. The current administration has waged a relentless public relations campaign to sell the illusions of leadership as the real thing. I am therefore joining with many others in asking you to run for nomination as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States. I ask this knowing that this is a personal decision that involves individual sacrifice and understanding whatever decision you feel is best. But my hope is that you will decide to run and offer the American people a clear choice in November of 2004. I believe that you would be the best candidate for two very important reasons. First, you would have the best chance of defeating President Bush because you offer a better choice on all the critical issues of national security, economic growth and equity and social justice. Second, and even more important, I believe you would make, when elected, the best President. I would feel much more secure knowing that when my President makes decisions regarding war and conflict he has been there and when he makes decisions that impact on the economic future of us all he has proven himself in the business world on his own merit rather than his father's influence. The major issue and the core value of America can best be expressed by two words - fair play. The current administration and its supporters talk a lot about the wrongness of trying to insure equal outputs for all citizens in a competitive society. They love to use sports metaphors to justify their positions. But this sports fan has noticed something. All the players, regardless of their rank, have to play on the same field, use the same equipment and play by the same rules. The Republican seems to endorse not just competition with the best person winning but a field tilted toward those who they favor. General Clark, please run, win and level that field for the rest of us.

General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. We need intelligent leadership from an individual with a proven track record for building consensus throughout the world. I believe that the US has lost credibility among many of our friends and more importantly, among our previously burgeoning international relationships. Second, the economy will improve when we have a fiscally responsible president that can rally the nation. An individual that understands economics and the benefits of a balanced budget. General Clark, from what I have read, fits the bill! We need leadership today. Please don't wait any longer. I want to be excited about politics again!

America needs a new president. Not a self-appointed King from a crooked family, but a honest man to return our country to the democracy it was founded to be. Please send that brainless boob back to his pseudo-ranch, and scatter the rest of his hapless bunch to retirement in Argentina with the rest of the Nazis. It is time to get away from politics as a normality, and start upholding our constitution instead of destroying it like these maniacs in power. Down with the king and his henchmen! They should be locked-up and made to pay for their crimes against humanity and the American people. We no doubt need more compassion and honesty from those working FOR us, and not the greedy bastards that OIL the wheels of corporate America. This country needs a completely new direction now, since we have already started the 21st Century on the wrong foot. Please say you will help America to right the wrongs this fool has begun!! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear Sir, I am an Army Captain and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I have also served in Bosnia as a part of Operation Joint Forge. I am committed to the ideals that this country stands for but I am increasingly worried about the direction that my country has taken under the leadership of President Bush. Our actions since September 11th have served only to increase the threat of terrorism in the United States. There is no proof that Iraq had a link to Al Qaeda and so far we have uncovered no proof of WMD. I am a MEDEVAC pilot and saw the price that our troops were paying not to mention the price of innocent Iraqi civilians. I had the unfortunate opportunity to fly several young wounded Iraqi children. The one that sticks out in my head is a nine year old girl with a bullet in her head. And for what, I still haven't figured out what we were fighting for because this administration has no integrity. First, the war was about WMD, then it was about the Al Qaeda link, then it was because Saddam was like Hitler. This country needs leaders with integrity. This country needs a leader who understands that in order to stop terrorism the United States needs to take a position of leadership in the world. Leadership isn't ignoring the UN or our long time allies. Rather it is using our vast resources to help the growing population of underprivilaged people who are left behind by the current trend of globalization and feel no recourse but to strike out at the symbol of globalization (being us here in the United States). Leadership is signing on to the Anti-Mine Treaty, the Kyoto Protocal and abiding by the decisions of the UN Security Council. Leadership is not going it alone and pretending that the rest of the world does not matter. That is how we got to the point of having a terrorist problem in the first place. General Clark, please stand up and serve again. I would be proud to have you as my Commander in Chief. Sincerely, JEREMY M. McKENZIE CPT, MS US Army

WOW!!! Enthusiasm is running pretty high with the possibility of your announcement to run. I do believe you can kill to birds with one stone. Not only will you restore integrity in America but restore the Democratic Party. It's becoming very difficult to define the party in recent years. Take the 9 who will be running against you; Three are Bush Lite and six are so far left that if the world were flat they'd fall off. I wouldn't choose any of them as a running mate due to controversial reasons, in that, the three Bush Lites were for the war but you opposed and the other six are clouded in their own agendas. Vice Presidents should be seen and not heard and should compliment you Mr. President Clark. Just thinking ahead of the curve after the dust settles.

General Clark, Our nation is in some of the most troubled times. Our economy is in shambles, we're losing more jobs then you can possibly imagine. Our troops are over in Iraq being picked off one by one daily because we invaded this country under false pretenses. We have a President (who I did vote for, and his father) who's so in bed with corporate America, he's using soldiers lives in Iraq so his friends at HaliBurton can get fat off oil contracts. I must wonder if you asked family members of a slain soldier do they think that their son or daughter gave there life for oil? We really need someone to put an "America first" agenda on the table. We give billions of dollars in aid to countries that hate us, all of our jobs are heading to Mexico or China thanks to NAFTA. Troops spread thin so if we do have an emergency back home such as Hurricane Isabel coming near the East coast, the National Guard doesn't have adequate troops to help at home because they're in Iraq. Our health care system is an absolute joke. You need to be rich or know people to get decent health care without paying threw the roof premiums. Our borders need to be patrolled by our own Army. We really need to bring our troops home and have our borders militarized. We cannot rely on Canada to do their job at the border. In conclusion General Clark, you have a resume that makes all of your democratic counterparts scared and the right wing nervous seeing our Commander in Chief was AWOL during his tour in the National Guard. Your fellow Army comrades that do commentaries are scared as well with comments calling you a "a perfumed prince" or not seeing any real combat. This type of comments are typical when someone really poses a serious threat to other contenders. You have military experience which very few democrats have, Rhodes scholar, the list goes on and on. As a registered Republican completely disgusted by the party, President Bush and his regime, I really believe you can add a serious dialogue to the presidential race. The nice thing about you and your background is you can attract people from all parties, democrats, republicans, and independents. Most of these democratic candidates will not be able to attract other voters besides the liberal base of the democratic party. I really hope you will decide to enter the Presidential race. If you do, I'll be waiting with wallet open donating as much money as I possibly can. There's many more Republican's out there that feel like this General Clark and will support you. Best of Luck!

General Clark: My family saw many of your interviews during Operation Iraqi Freedom and admired your candor and knowledge about miltary and world affairs. We are convinced that our country and our military is being sold out by those in power. This country was not founded on unilateral invasions and pre-emptive strikes on foreign countries. We have been deceived about the reasons why the U.S. alienated itself from those countries with which we have long standing friendly relations and mutual defense treaties (the UN and NATO) and why we attacked Iraq. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark: I sent a letter to you about 2 months ago urging you to run. Since that time I have become very worried that none of the 9 nominees can challenge George Bush effectively. I do believe that you are THE man who can take him on. I am not only urging you to run because of me but because of our country. I see the labor market as being the worst in 7 decades. I see terrorism taking over in the middle east. I see our nation very ill prepared for handling an imminent terror attack at home. I see all of our states bankrupt. I see the deficit climbing higher than before. I see lots of lies lies lies coming from the neo cons in the White House and no one is holding them accountable! Another 4 years of Bush would be totally disatrous to our country and to the world . He has already caused too much damage. Please please run General Clark! PLease run for our country, our future generations to come and for all the decent people in this country who need an honest voice to represent them. Yours sincerely, Joan Simmons Stone Raleigh, NC

Dear Gen. Clark, I have been eagerly watching you on television and reading about you in the news for months. Each time I do, I am filled with admiration and respect. And always I am impressed by the qualities of leadership and authority that I feel would make you a great president. More than ever before, I am concerned by the direction of this country - we desperately need a leader to redirect us, inspire us and unite us. I am convinced, Mr. Clark, that you are singularly able to be that leader. I thank you for your years of distinguished service - you have made us proud. Although it is perhaps unfair to ask after all you have given already, I pray that you will make the decision to enter the race for president in 2004 as a Democrat. I would be honored and proud to have you as my president. Please run, Mr. Clark! Without reservation, you will have my vote and my support! -Thomas Morelli San Francisco, CA

Leadership of the selfless sort, not of the selfishly motivated ambition we presently have. We need a person of moderation and a person not in the back pocket of big business.

Please, please run for president. Bush is toxic to the ideals of our nation, to the world's people, and to the planet itself. I am a far-lefty. I voted for Nader last time around. I realize you are nowhere near as far left as I usually am, but I am certain I will be able to support you as my candidate and, eventually, as my president. I have heard several interviews with you recently. You have the honor and the candor to be president. You are intelligent and will make us proud on the world stage (I get practically dizzy imagining once again having an intelligent man as our leader, someone the world doesn't laugh at). You have a solid understanding of the "problem" areas of the world and of the history and cultures involved. You appreciate diversity of opinion here at home and understand that it is the very stuff of which democracy is made. And, ultimately, I really think you can win! You are utterly immune from being Dukakis-ized; your four stars are your shield. Run. For God's sake, run. I am a law student and my husband is a military enlisted guy, so I don't have much money, but I pledge I will give what I can. You can also count on me to give time to your campaign here in Spokane, Washington. I hope this is not utterly rambling. I am so emotional. Thank you, Carolyn Jones

General Clark: I'm a social liberal and a moderate fiscal conservative, with an understanding that the only way America can avoid another 9/11 is to go after terror where it lives and root it out. $87 billion? Fine...whatever it takes...how ever long it takes...wherever we need to fight. Hell, send me! I'm too old (42), but I'd go in a heartbeat. I didn't vote for Bush...I wrote in Colin Powell...because of his leadership. Right now, though, the Bush Administration has my vote because I have yet to find a Democrat who has a clue and is worth my vote. They're all blow-hard politicians.

General Clark, I've written to you before urging you to run, but now I have had a better chance to evaluate you as a candidate and further investigate the current field of uninspiring Democratic candidates. None of them stands a chance against Bush, and even Kerry, who should have some national security credibility, has pretty much blown it by being mealy-mouthed. If you don't run, the Bush team, who is terrible on national security issues, will be the only voices on this topic with any perceived credibility, and their policies will stand -- potentially for decades. So -- I know it's a lot to ask of anyone -- but please run. You'll be doing a great service, and you may be the only one capable of doing it. Jim Reich Mountain View, CA

General Clark, I am the daughter of a retired Air Force fighter pilot. My dad and I don't see eye-to-eye politically (I'm a socially liberal, fiscally conservative Democrat; he's a conservative Republican). But one thing he and I do agree on: it's important that the president of the United States be a real leader and a person of integrity. I'm not certain yet whom I'll vote for next year. What seems clear to me is how very important and valuable your views are. From the rather basic information I know about you, I am impressed with your courage to say aloud some things that are difficult for many to hear, and which I happen to believe are vital points of view. Again, sir, please run for president. Whether you serve in the White House or not, I'm convinced you will serve our country by participating as a candidate. Warm wishes and best regards, -----Stacey

Before you receive the preprinted materials below (all of which I agree with) I would like to add a few comments of my own. My understanding is that you, I, President George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton are roughly the same age. All of us lived through the Vietnam/Civil Rights/Womens Rights/Environmental Rights Era. Needless to say, it appears that you, I and Bill Clinton were profoundly affected by the experience. I can't say the same for the current President given his blind support for an agenda that seens bent on dismantling all the gains made during that period. As a lawyer, I work daily to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America: in my estimation the template by which all systems of governance should be judged and emulated. The President is right to want to export what I defend and what we as Nation live under. But he is absolutely wrong in the way he is going about doing it. Preemptive unilateralism can only encourage rebellion in spite of the fact that we have the capabilty to virtually jamming anything we want down an adversary's throat. Apparently, the President missed that lesson during the 60's. Furthermore his domestic policies are directed at the dismantling of the system of checks and balances that assure fairness. Shakespeare said in Henry VI pat 2: "First we must kill all the lawyers." In context, the statement was made by an anarchist who wished to rid the country of that group who stood for reason and the rule of law. The President of the United States is chanting the same mantra. He too in essence wants to figuratively "kill all the lawyers"; to see to the dismantling of reasoned dispute rresolution; to see to the emasculaton of government to protect a select group of his own orientation and choosing. (see Paul Krugman's piece in the Sunday New York Times Magazine section.) I do not know you and only today have I really taken the time to learn more about you. (I don't have cable so I am not saturated with CNN.) But from reading you background materials I see that you are a man of learning and a man of reason. You are exactly what this country needs right now. We live in dangerous times, amid dangers both home and abroad that have been exascerbated by the policies of George W. Bush. The danger is not solely the result of terrorism but about the mismanagement of the resourses both human and otherwise that we have in our country. Again you are exactly what this country needs. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, Please decide in favor of running for the Presidency in 2004. We need someone in the White House with courage and vision, someone who knows the inner workings and needs of the military in a time of crisis as well as the needs of everyday citizens. It is a balancing act you seem most qualified to do. I understand it won't be easy jumping in. You're a late comer on the campaign trial and you'll be accused of not having any political experience. But America is really in no mood for politics as usual and people who think that the country's problems can be summed up with sound bites. I am a life long Democrat, but have been very disappointed in the Democrats in Congress. who have rolled over and played dead, while the current administration has trampled on our economy, our security, our constitution, our international friendships, and our future. All the GOP had to do is accuse anyone, who questioned the administration's actions, of being unpatriotic. But a true Patriot should not only serve their country, but also question and examine when things don't pass the smell test, not hide their head in the sand in the name of political expediency. Having heard and read what you have to say, so far, I believe you are the person that can get this country back on track and move us away from this dangerous experiment in international adventurism that the current administration started. And so, I hope you say yes to running for President. Please serve your country once more, be the person to help restore America's original vision, in our own eyes and the eyes of the world. I look forward to your decision, in the coming days. If your do enter the campaign, you've got my vote. Sincerely, Bonnie Stitzel a Democrat, but an American first

Our country needs you to "step up"and make a run for the presidency. Never in my adult life have I been so discouraged about the future. George W. has put us in the deepest of holes and it is inconceivable that we can survive four more years of his ineptness. I will work for your campaign and I will donate as much money as possible towards its success. I represent the "60's generation" and we still care about this country and will work with you to resolve conflicts peacefully. The whole world is watching us and they don't like what they see. RUN !!!!!

I really don't care which of you is President and which is V.P. I do know you can win together. Please don't be offended by the campaign slogan I came up with. D/C 2 D.C. in 4!!! Go Dean/Clark. Go Clark/Dean. I am an Arkansas finishing up my Master's Degree at UALR and would love to work for you if you get in the race. We need you both - you know it's true.

More recently, I have delved into your background and found you to be an energetic and intelligent leader with a wealth of experience (including astrong military history) germaine to the office of the president of the United States. Anyone questioning your patriotism is flirting with fascist ideology. America needs you now more than ever. Please announce your candidacy in my home state of Iowa. Support will be overwhelming.

Although, I agree with many of the canditates on their views, I do not feel any one of them can beat GW in the general election. For one reason or another they will not be able to win the presidency in 2004. From what I know of you, your experience, and your politics you are the man who can win the election. With you as our canditate for president I will be proud to call myself a democrat again. Please run for president. Sincerely, Frederick Struss DC

General Clark, please help America redefine patriotism or rather return to the roots of the concept. We need someone to restore pride in our country, pride in its contributions to the world community which can only be attained by someone who indeed believes in both the power and rightness of negotiation. In reading through the text of the letters sent in support of your candidacy I was struck by the diversity of interests and people virtually begging for you to run. I believe you are the one person who can reach out to the diversity that is America and bring us together in a way not based on lies and instilling fear, but rather on the fairness, wisdom, and decency of its leadership. Recently I've come to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter what a person says, only the action one takes, for that is the true expression of one's values and morals and yes, patriotism. We need an America engaged in the process and committed to the restoration of the rights of all its citizens and a knowledge of and respect for the basic rights of other countries. I would proudly provide my time and energy toward your election if you decide to run. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, Please run for the Presidency. America needs you. Why? Because your record shows you to be someone who meets a challenge, and the state of our country is certainly challenging. You sound, in your interviews, like someone with common sense, common sense AND a sense of moderation. Desperately the United States needs a more moderate voice after these last few years of the current ideology. And the country needs a leader, not a puppet who is lead around by the nose (Ooops, I think I just mixed metaphors!) Certainly in the breadth of your career, you have shown yourself to have unquestionable leadership command and presence. Finally, America needs a President who sees the universe from a post-Galileo perspective and doesn't think that our country is the sun and everything revolves around it. All of these things are necessary to win in 2004; you have them all. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. PS My husband has already pledged money, and we are both prepared to pledge time and energy to your campaign. Mahalo and aloha, wendy pollitt

What I wanted to write to you about now is this: Please do not accept the VP position. I believe that you should head the ticket as President. You are uniquely qualified and I am requesting that you not only run on the Democratic ticket for President, but that you not settle for the second spot. We need you as President. I heard you say that you had worn the uniform since you were 17. That is alot of service to your country. Unfortunately, your country really needs you again.

General Clark, I have worn the uniform of our country in three wars and over four decades! (1970 when I joined active duty and today as I serve as a JRIC analyst in the naval reserve). I have served in the Cold War, the war against drugs and the war against terrorism. I further serve my country as a federal civil servant. I do these things to give back to this country; I owe this country as it was the safe haven which my grandparents sought who escaping the communist revolution. The rest of our family did not escape the fascists. My point is that I look at you and I see a man who has served his country, doing it for the greater good, for our people, and succeeded. But like myself, there is more we have to do. Not only do the enemies of our country seek to destroy us through terrorism and drug smuggling, but also by those who occupy the White House and our government offices, who better the lot for their million dollar buddies. The millions who work and bled for family and country, only to have lost their jobs and dreams and medical care since 2000 under our current president should be an embarrassment to ourselves, as we are an embarrassment to the rest of the civilized world. Strengthen us, our bonds with family and friends at home and abroad. Care for our elderly, infirm, and encourage the strong to perservere and succeed for all of us. God help us and work for us, General.

George Bush has alienated the international community so that the US will never get the cooperation it now seeks with the present administration. We need a leader who is respected internationally. It's frightening that Dean may be the candidate, not that he isn't a very nice man with many of the right ideas, but because Karl Rove wants him for Bush's opponent. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times.

Letter to General Wesley Clark to petition him to run for President of the United States Date: 14 SEPT 2003 I am writing again to ask, in fact beg you to enter the race for the Presidency of the United States of America. I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps presently serving in the Corps' reserve component. In short sir, you are desperately needed at this critical juncture in American history. In these perilous hours and desperate moments, our nation needs to hear the true voice of real leadership. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. This is your moment sir, our country is at a crossroads, the kind of watershed crossroads that only comes once every century. The Civil War (1861-1865) had Lincoln, WWII (1939-1945) had Roosevelt; today, in our nations hour of terrorism (2001-?), we as an American people need your leadership and vision to get us out of the abyss. General Clark, America needs you. Your message will resonate throughout this country and ring home like truth. Please run for president. Good luck and Semper Fidelis.

Dear General Clark, I have watched the Balkin wars, wondering while the Serbs bombed Sarajevo, wondering, where was the West? I watched the Kosovo mess and was impressed with your command of NATO. I don't know if you want to run for President. Certainly, at this time, we are, as a nation, in one big mess. You don't owe us anything. But we need to have a change in administrations in Washington. I don't think that, as a nation, we can afford four more years of President Bush. You seem to be smart, you seem to be unafraid and you seem like you would be a good guy to be President. If you decide to run my friends and I will support you. Please consider doing this. I know that it is all consuming and probably you have better things to do. I would not dream of telling you to run, but if you do my buddies and I will be there. Thanks Susan Meyers

This maybe the most crucial election since 1932. The Republican neocons have a real chance of propelling this nation back to the economic and social structure of the late 19th century. Their major means to victory in 2004 will be to picture themselves as in posession of true patriotism and the Democrats as less than patriotic. The Democrats need a nominee who is up to this challenge. General, you are the one! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

As a Democrat, I believe that we need a strong candidate to run against Pres. Bush. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

As an American patriot, student of history (BA in history, University of Washington), and observer of current affairs, I urge you to run for president of the United States of America. We need you now more than ever. I am a "liberal" who is socially progressive, but fiscally conservative. I hold to the values of progressive thought, but cherish the heritage of our nation and military. I believe that in a time of war we need someone with a military background who can show true leadership, but also embraces democratic values and the diversity of our great nation. Someone with pragmatic, creative, and inclusive ideas. In the post-Cold War and post-September 11th world, the president of the United States IS the de facto leader of this world. Such a position requires leadership, respect, humility, common sense, intelligence, loyalty to our long-time democratic allies, and inclusiveness. I was a big fan of yours during the war in Kosovo and have watched with admiration your many interviews on the networks. As the descendant of an American Revolutionary War soldier, Union and Confederate soldiers, and the grandson of a World War II veteran, who crossed after D-Day and served as ambulance driver and mechanic in France during the Battle of the Bulge, I value patriotisim greatly and bristle when those on "the Right" try to claim it for themselves. Our nation is one nation and our government should represent us all - not just the right wing, not just the wealthy, not just the oil interests. We should be the "light of the world," the land of Freedom and Liberty. America needs you. I will vote for you and support your campaign - if you run! You are the only democrat I believe can win hands down against George W. Bush and the one I would vote for in any case. General Clark, I urge you to run for president.

Dear General Clark: You have been on my "radar screen" for months now. I will make this letter simple and to the point. "Run". I look forward to contributing to your campaign. I look forward to contacting a fellow attorney who I am working closely with and who was Press Secretary to President Clinton into cajoling him to start raising money and awareness. So, just "Run" because not to run would raise the chance of another four year term for a President who is simply too "reckless" for this country and its children.

General Clark, I'm a 20 year old college student and I follow politics extremely closely. Lately, I have been utterly disillusioned with the way that this adminstration has been handling the country. The way in which the Bush administration has been using the military as a tool to further its own ends is disgusting. I am an American Muslim and I have lived in Arab/Muslim countries and I know that America is a respected and loved nation everywhere (believe it or not). However, the narrow world view that our president puts forth presumes that America is the only country on the globe. In order to bring back the respect to America, we need someone with a vision and with experience in dealing with allies and others. You may wonder why I support you. The reason is that in a time when our foreign policy is more crucial than ever, I deeply and strongly feel that we need a president who is able to deal with nations diplomatically. And as the SACEUR of NATO, I know that you understand the centrality of having sound relations with everyone around the globe. To cut to the chase, I'm sick of the unilateralist policies pursued by Bush because I KNOW that might does not make right. With your distinguished military record, you know (as you have said on numerous occassions) that the military is only a LAST resort. I strongly urge you, General Clark, to announce your candidacy as soon as possible for the sake of the American people. In order to secure America, we need someone who understands that by bullying every country in the world and by lying to the American people, nothing is resolved. We need the truth, integrity, honesty, open-mindedness, and courage that characterize you. Please, please before it is too late, jump into this campaign. You have nothing to lose if you do enter the campaign. Yet, America risks losing a lot without sound leadership in 2004. Sincerely, Shahid Zaman

See my wife and i both work for the postal service as letter carriers. If they privitize the postal service we(USPS) are in trouble. I also learned that President Bush is trying to cut disability payments to vets. He should be ashamed. My wife and i both receive benifits from the VA as well. Also the insurance rates in Tx are out of this world. My family is being attacked from all sides. Please run for president. You have my support. My prayers are with you. God Bless Logan Barr

You have always served bravely, honorably, and selflessly, but we ask you to continue to do so by serving at least once more. Give the American people the excellent choice of Wesley Clark for President. Hoowah. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

Dear General Clark: I'm not certain yet who I will be supporting for president. My main concern is that we select someone who could defeat President Bush, who has been a disaster for this country on so many levels. I have not yet been convinced that any of the existing candidates in the Democratic field are capable of defeating Bush. Are you the one who could do this? I'm not sure, but I was impressed hearing you interviewed by Bill Maher. If you're willing to take a strong stand against President Bush's disastrous environmental policies and disastrous foreign policy, we need you! I hope you'll enter the race and fight hard to unify the Democrats behind a vision that brings out the best in our country, not the worst. Thank you.

Dear General Clark, I strongly urge you to run for President. Our country needs strong leadership in this new era. It needs leadership that isn't beholden to special interest groups, either on the right or on the left. It needs leadership that recognizes being a "cowboy" is great for the movies, but inappropriate for building consensus the leaders of the global community. It needs leadership that understands that fighting terrorism doesn't mean trampling on individual privacy rights. I proudly served in the United States Navy for 20 years, and can recognize good leadership when I see it. You sir, are the leader this country needs at the helm. Very Respectfully, Gregory Epp FCC(SW) USN (Ret.)

General Clark, I'm a 100% disabled military veteran who believes that America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times and can get "US" back on track and going in the correct direction. President Bush has taken our Country in the wrong direction, and misused and abused the military men and women, even while using them as backdrops for his campaign, yet refusing to support them when it counts, such as not allowing military retirees to receive both their retirement and disability (concurrent receipt) so that he can give tax breaks to his wealthy friends and buy their support. America needs someone who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. If not, then please run for Vice President (with Howard Dean, perhaps?)! Whatever you decide, I'll support you, but I'd prefer that you enter, and win, the campaign for President because we all need you . . . America, her citizens, and her world partners and friends (while we still have some). You can count on me, for what little money I am able to contribute and, when and where you need me, actively in your campaign. Sincerely, George C. Richwine Major, USAF (Ret)

General Clark: We know you have promised to announce your decision this coming week. One must assume that you have either made it already, and have good political reasons for not announcing it sooner, or that you are really unsure. Certainly it can't be because you are unsure of your qualifications. We all know, and you know as well, that they are stellar. There is no perfect candidate, and of course you have "holes" in your resume, but they are fewer than the ones that Bush has after being President for almost 3 years! And, they are no greater in number than those of any of the present Democratic candidates. Can you get money, support, and name recognition so late? Of course it's a problem, but every day you wait makes that problem get bigger rather than smaller, so that can't have been the reason you have waited! We are waiting in the wings to make sure you have all that you need. Don't let us down now after we have waited so long. Announce that you are running, and do it now! Do not doom us to another 4 years of destruction by an ill-advised president. Sharon Toji

I made a mistake. I did not vote in the last election, chiefly because I did not find passion in either candidate, and because their policy looked so familar on the surface that I thought it didn't matter. I made a mistake, General Clark. Now, the administration of George W. Bush has all but wiped out the economic and military security our nation once had, through nepotism in economic policy and an inexperienced Commander In Chief who was entirely too quick to bite at any evidence in favor of war with Iraq. I made a mistake, General Clark. Don't you make one yourself. This nation needs a president now who will fight to take care of all of us, not just those of us in the upper 10% in income. It needs a leader who will keep our soldiers safe all over the world, and work effectively with other world leaders in a joint effort to combat terrorism when needed, not just when convenient. This nation needs a President who will be mindful of our infringements on constitutional law, and who will preserve our civil liberties, all of them. This nation needs an administration that cares more about the fact that 3 million more people are unemployed now than were 3 years ago, and less about how much money it needs for Iraq and Afghanistan. This nation needs a President, General Clark, and it needs you to be that President. It is your purpose, and I promise you now, that should your name be on any ballot, I'll put my check next to it emphatically.

President Bush Ranks Lowest IQ in 50 Years of US Presidents. In a report published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, detailed its findings of a four-month study of the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush. Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute has published its research to the educational community on each new president, which includes the famous "IQ" report among others. There have been twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from F.D. Roosevelt to G.W. Bush, who were rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they produced without aid of staff, their ability to speak with clarity, and several other psychological factors, which were then scored using the Swanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking. The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points: In order by presidential term: 147 .. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) 132 .. Harry Truman (D) 122 .. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R) 174 .. John F. Kennedy (D) 126 .. Lyndon B. Johnson (D) 155.. Richard M. Nixon (R) 121 .. Gerald Ford (R) 175 .. James E. Carter (D) 105 .. Ronald Reagan (R) 098 .. George Bush (R) 182 .. William J. Clinton (D) 091 .. George W. Bush (R) In IQ order: 182 .. William J. Clinton (D) 175 .. James E. Carter (D) 174 .. John F. Kennedy (D) 155 .. Richard M. Nixon (R) 147 .. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) 132 .. Harry Truman (D) 126 .. Lyndon B. Johnson (D) 122 .. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R) 121 .. Gerald Ford (R) 105 .. Ronald Reagan (R) 098 ..George Bush (R) 091 .. George W. Bush (R) The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest at 155. President G.W. Bush rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91. The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126. No president other than Carter (D) has released his actual IQ, 176. Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President GW Bush, his low ratings are due to his apparently difficult command of the English language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary (6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other presidents), his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual basis. The complete report documents the methods and procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and voice stress confidence analysis. "All the Presidents prior to George W. Bush had a least one book under their belt, and most had written several white papers during their education or early careers. Not so with President Bush," Dr. Lovenstein said. "He has no published works or writings, which made it more difficult to arrive at an assessment. We relied more heavily on transcripts of his unscripted public speaking." The Lovenstein Institute of Scranton Pennsylvania think tank includes high caliber historians, psychiatrists, sociologists, scientists in human behavior, and psychologists. Among their ranks are Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein, world-renowned sociologist, and Professor Patricia F. Dilliams, a world-respected psychiatrist.

Dear General Clark, We the American People need new leadership in our government. We need a president who will lead us with common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. We need a president with a balanced perspective on the future of our country. We need a president who can return the democratic model of the USA back to its position of respect, trust, and admiration in the eyes of the World. Sir, if you are truly interested in continuing to serve our country, there can be no higher calling, nor one you are better suited for. You have the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you! The World needs you! Please run for president!

Dear General Clark, I encourage you to "cross the Rubicon" and announce your intention to run for President. You have been a voice of rationality in the whole question of the War on Terror. The debate over crucial policy questions has been coopted by polemical extremes on both sides. I am deeply concerned that our present leadership has made serious strategic blunders and do not have the correct vision of what this war of terror requires. Your voice on such shows as Hardball and others has impressed me. While President Bush may be correct in terms of the clash between the forces of civilization and the forces of terror and chaos, his plan seems naive, scattershot, and detrimental to the creation of a unified front with our allies. You must continue to argue for an alternative route. United we stand, divided we fall can no longer be a slogan between the states, it must be a principle for all nations in this struggle. We need leadership that places unity of purpose above personal pique and intellectual arrogance. I speak of this for our nation's sake and the sake of my nephew at West Point who may soon be on the battle line. I want knowledgable, forceful, and experienced leadership, not cowboy swagger and flippant comments from people leading a nation in a time of trial and war. Sincerely yours, James R. Bell, Ph.D. (Latin and European History Instructor, Lansing Public School District.)

America needs a new president. Already, Republicans are using every tactic they can muster to thwart the will of the American people in uncoming elections. The California Recall effort is an embarrassment to democracy. It is just the next step in a concerted effort to deny the will of the people. If we want an economic boom, we need to greatly increase taxes on the waelthiest three percent of Americans. Pick up the Clinton mantle and bring this country back to real compassion and service to its' citizens. America needs an honest and intelligent President who is capable of telling the truth. One who treats American servicemen and women, working families, and everyday citizens with the respect and decency they deserve. It's not too late. It's time. America needs you now, General Clark!

The use of American service men and woman to distract voters from the more substantial issues of the day, and the cynical manipulation of public opinion, can only be undone by someone who has your lifes experience and perspective.

The United States is on a path to economic ruin and a heightened negative image in the world community. I hope you will decide to run for President. Then we may have a chance to turn back the ill tide. We need a strong leader to take back the nation and restore its lost democracy. General Clark, please run for president.

Dear General Clark, This is my second letter to you. I am more than ever excited about the prospects of your running for President. I have told my relatives and friends about you; now I even tell strangers. Before I learned of the possibility you might run, I was depressed, despairing, and feeling hopeless and helpless about the state of democracy in our country. Now the idea that we, the American people, can pick our President, rather than having him/her chosen in the backrooms has left me so very excited about participating in democracy again. I promise to contribute generously of my time and money to do what I can to make sure you are elected. I look forward to your announcement this week. Thank you.

America needs a new president; one who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I believe that our country is the principal player at a an important turning point in the history of the world. Our actions in the Middle East will either lead to a safer, more peaceful world or years of chaos, violence, terrorism and perhaps even another world war. Our current president is simply not equipped, by virtue of experience or intellect, to lead our country through this critical time. And his current approval ratings prove that many Americans are dissatisfied with his administration. I believe that Americans, regardless of party affiliation, are ready to embrace a presidential candidate with intelligence, experience, and courage. You are the man for the job at this critical time. Please run for president. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I think it would be one of the best things that has happened in our country for quite a while if you would decide to run for president. I am an Independent voter, but I would have no problem supporting you in your presidential candidacy. I am leaning toward supporting Howard Dean only because he has spoken so clearly against the attack on Iraq. Today I read an article in which several of the Democratic candidates and Democratic people in Congress have attacked Dean for his stance on not taking sides in the Israel-Palestine conflict. After reading that article, I decided there is no way I could ever support anyone that is connected with the position of these individuals. I am very concerned for the future of America - not for myself, but the America that my grandchildren could inherit. America needs to get rid of the corrupt administration currently in office. America needs to get back to taking care of their own citizens. I believe you are the man who could help take America back away from the ultra rightwing group that holds power now. Please consider running for president! Thank you!

Dear General Clark: I just spent some time reading letters that my fellow Americans have sent you from all over the country. Two things came to mind. First, I have never seen anything like this before. So many people share my belief that you might be the only person who can beat George Bush in 2004. You haven't even decided to run yet! Second, you must be overwhelmed. People are imploring you to run for the most difficult job in the world. It's true that the job would even be more difficult due to decisions the current administration has made. Having said that, I am still asking you to run for president. I believe it's that important. The prospect of another four years of the current administration is frightening. I believe that you can win. I have never volunteered to a political campaign before, but I would do anything I could to help. Just say the word. Thank you.

Dear General Clark, My father, a WWII veteran, has often advised me with the following inelegant old army saying when I've equivocated over an important decision: "Shit or get off the pot." Well, General, America will grow a lot better with a healthy dose of fertilizer than with Bush's "slash and burn/scortched earth" economic, energy, environmental, educational, health, foreign, and regional policies. In the area of foreign policy, granted, a strong defense posture is essential during these troubled times. However, we MUST reverse Bush's ill-advised unilateralism (for example, his Iraq policy and his refusal to sign the Kyoto Environmental Accords). Domestically, Bush and his GOP congressional clones have declared out and out war on America's middle and lower socioeconomic classes. Those of us fortunate enough to be employed are overworked and under paid--a classic industrial exploitation of the working class known historically as the "speed-up." For example, my work day as a third grade teacher is typically ten or eleven hours. Due to districtwide cuts in the custodial staff, cleaning my own classroom will make that day even longer. When parents have dwindling financial resources and less time (such is my own case) with their children, and with a narrowing of the spectrum of available educational opportunities--including those promoting positive, rather than negative self expression (read: music and the arts)--is it any wonder that youthful alienation, as demonstrated by drug problems, gangs, etc. are serious social issues? Under the guise of "outsourcing," corporate America is hemmoraging blue and white collar jobs to foreign countries with no equivalent compensatory employment or business opportunities being created to replace them here at home. Access to higher education and home ownership are becoming ever more remote due to falling wages (in terms of real spending power), benefits, and job availability. Concurrently, college, housing, and healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Is it not time to take care of America's greatest single resource--her people? In the environment, the future should belong to cleanburning, low emission hydrogen/electric hybrid cars and trucks. Our utility and few remaining industrial plants should be environmentally friendly. Regionally, soon after California voted for Al Gore in 2000, the Golden State went into an economic recession triggered by the manipulation of its energy supplies. Once that manipulation was uncovered, the Bush administration, which is closely allied with the energy companies, made no attempt to sieze the assets of those companies and executives (Enron is an example) in order to pay back the people of California. Is "regional revenge" what a man who was NOT elected to the White house calls "leadership? A progressive presidency can lead the way in solving all of these problems. Not since the darkest days of the Cold War have I been so fearful for my children's and student's futures, or for the future of the United States, its principals, and the world. Please run for president, General Clark. America needs your leadership now more than ever. Sincerely, Chris and Josi Kneisel P.S. Bluntly stated, with reference to the above quoted army saying, it's time to shit, General. It's time to shit bigtime.

General Clark, At this late stage in your decision process, I'm sure that you have received appeals of every stripe. Many have appealed to you to run because of your military and foreign policy record, and while I agree with them, I am not writing to you today because I believe that we need a General in the White House. Many have described you as an exceedingly smart and honorable man, and while I have no doubt that that too is the case, I'm not writing you today because I would prefer an honest know it all in the White House. I *am* writing to you today because I want a Democrat in the White House, and I believe that your candidacy is the best, and perhaps the only, chance we Democrats have to unseat the current president and to regain some sense of equanimity, civility, and fairness in our foreign and domestic policies. It is a cliche in politics to search for "an outsider," every four years, but I believe that these times, more than many in recent history, truly require a candidate who will change the parameters of the debate and upend the power structure in Washington. I believe that your are that candidate. Sure, the Congressional insiders have stepped up their rhetoric in criticism of the administration. Unfortunately, their voting records belie their complicity in the very policies they now criticize. Meanwhile the outsiders, while right (more or less) in their policies are so shrill in their attacks on the administration that they're in danger of turning an American Public hungry for change off before the races have really gotten started. Governor Dean is, in my opinion, the most obvious example of this. He has certainly dragged the other candidates away from the politcs of appeasement, but I have my doubts that he will ultimately be palatable to the American people. Does his candidacy have resonance beyond those who believe that the war in Iraq was questionable? Let's hope so... Will America as a whole continue to appreciate his bombastic temperament and adversarial style? We might do well to check in with Senator McCain and Ross Perot on that... While the People often initially respond to those who voice their concerns, they ultimately tend to vote for those who make them "feel comfortable" with their leadership... While he's done a great job on the first point, I have deep concerns about how well Governor Dean will do on the second, and *that* is the reason I think we need another candidate. I have the utmost respect for each of the announced candidates, and I believe that they've done an admirable job of moving the ball down the field thus far. However, I have reservations about whether they will be able to get us to the end zone. What we need now is a free agent. A player with proven abilities in clutch situations. A player the whole team can get behind. What we need now is you. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Sincerely, Robert Cantave Atlanta, GA

The Bush family has brought war and destruction to our brothers in the Middle East, and they have repaid us with blood. I urge you to rid the White House of our unholy alliance with Saudia Arabia and purge the government of people who believe what our "leaders" have wrought will make us safer. As Mr. Kucinich has said in his campaign, we must declare war on peace. I applaud your stand on many issues and hope to see you in the White House come the fall of next year!

Dear General Clark: I never thought I'd see myself looking to a General as the best progressive candidate in the US. Best b/c I think you can defeat Bush. Best b/c you understand the horrors of war. And best because you believe in civil liberties. I still need to know where you stand on economic issues: are you in favor of rebuilding America's social safety net via increased progressive federal taxation? To repeal the millionaire tax cuts? I really want to see you run. Please do it.

Dear General Clark, I have been active in politics, almost always within the democratic party, since 1948. I have seen my candidates win, and see them lose. I was pleased when the won, and disappointed when they lost, but never have I felt such despair as I feel at the moment. I find George Bush more out of tune with, and far of a threat to, the ideals and principles of this nation that were share by political leaders of both parties in the more than half a century. I believe that you, and nearly all of the democratic candidates, will bring us back to those ideals and principles. But I believe that you give us the greatest hope and chance for victory in what promises to be as hard fought and divisive campaign as we have had in a long time. I think that you can be a unifying leader, both within the party, and more importantly, throughout the nation after the victory. I am an officer of the New York State Democratic Party, and my wife Irene is the chair of the Tompkins County Democratic Party and a member of the Democratic National Committee. We both pledge that the day that you announce, we will form a committe for you in Tompkins County, and spare no effort in pressing your campaign in every forum available to us. We await your call impatiently, and will answer it with vigor, enthusiasm, and fervor. Peter Stein

Dear Mr. Clark Get in the race! This country is in deep trouble due to the arrogant, self-serving, and foolish antics of the Bush administration. They are inept on domestic issues and their foreign policies are a fiasco. They have set America back 100 years in diplomatic relations and isolated us from our allies and the rest of the world. They promote fear to maintain their base while fueling the very fires that threaten our safety. Meanwhile, they cater to their wealthy corporate constituents giving them ourtrageous tax breaks while shifting the burden of their insane deficits onto the backs of us, the middle class. Based on what I've read on your background, in you I see hope. I see hope that your leadership can restore confidence in the American people and our world allies. I see hope that you can turn the tide in the Right's grip on this administration and its shift toward extremism and its infusion into politics (violating the Constitution's separation of church and state). I see hope that American principles like debate, free speech, and honoring our differences can again be seen as "patriotic" principles which make our country stronger. I believe you can give voice to those of us who believe in the true ideals which our country was founded upon. In you I see great hope for the future of America. Please get in the race NOW! Get in and get your numbers up. After you win some primaries, pull in someone like Gephardt (who knows how to play the game with Congress... your weakest link...and that's actually a compliment!) as your VP, and you will defeat George W. Bush. Sincerely, Michael Freed Santa Fe, NM

General Clark, This is my third letter to you over the past several months. Yesterday I started reading your book Waging Modern War and have recently heard more of what you've been saying recently. I also just read Michael Moore's letter to you. All of the input I'm getting strongly supports the notion that you are, by a wide margin, the best candidate to defeat George Bush and serve as president of the United States. Please take the step and run. As you recently said, together we can do incredible things. But we need a president that's with us...and to me, you are clearly the individual best suited to serve in that role. God bless us all.

General Clark, My name is Alan Card and I am a Specialist in the United States Army, working in Military Intelligence. In addition to keeping track of our international affairs for a living, I have always made a habit of being aware of the domestic issues our nation is facing, and it is clear to me, sir, that we need you to serve your country again. We cannot turn this great nation over to another four years of the Bush administration. They're destroying the morale and welfare of the armed forces; they're rolling back the liberties we and our forefathers have fought for; they're returning us to the failed policies of Reaganomics and ignoring the need for this country to invest in ALL of its people if we are to maintain the success of our knowledge-based economy; they're gutting environmental protections designed to ensure that our children and our children’s children will have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, and they’re running the country to benefit the corporations and CEOs that are their primary supporters. Sir, we need someone as President whose professional experience has been in the service of his nation. We need someone as President who can be trusted to serve the interests of the country as a whole. And we need someone as President who knows how to run an international military operation (which, with all due respect, the current CINC clearly does not). We need someone we can trust, sir, and we need someone who can win. General Clark, I respectfully ask you to return to the service of your country. I know that the Presidency is a hard job and that the decision to take it on is a serious and difficult one to make, but we need you, sir. I know you’ll do the right thing, and I thank you for your service. Very Respectfully, Alan Card Ft. Bliss, TX General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, My name is Matthew Skibiak and I live in Nairobi, Kenya. This is my tenth year here and I have been around and affected by both terrorist attacks. I will be going back to America for university next year and I have made a pledge to myself in which I will actively participate in the ousting of the "Bush Regime." Living overseas for the majority of my life, has given me the opportunity to see the US from a different perspective. And I must say that I have never been more worried and ashamed as now. President Bush has ruined the country, created resentment in every corner of the world towards Americans, and has thus made the US less safe. Everytime I go out, I worry about another terrorist attack; three years ago I didn't. Upon reading Michael Moore's letter to you, I was inspired to write my own and ask for you to please join the race for the White House. Currently I'm interested in Howard Dean, but like Moore, I don't agree with him on some of his issues (i.e. Gun Control, Capital Punishment, etc.). I would very much like it if you were to run because I believe that we (as Americans) should know more about you, and that your history is definitely in your favor. Though I may support Howard Dean now, if you were to join you could definitely be assured that I would vote for you. For the sake of returning America to where it was before Bush came to power, I believe that you should run, and I believe that you can make a difference! Matt

Our present administration is squandering many years of international good will, alliances and hard earned american dollars in ill conceived actions overseas. Terrorism is an international problem that requires the engagement of the international community. Hubris has prevented the current administration from the needed path of international engagement. At home, we cannot wrap the american flag around every bad administration decision to deflect needed thinking and debate required for valid and long-lasting solutions. Furthermore, fear mongering has been used to move attention away from the important national issues of personal freedoms, corporate malfeasence, workers rights and the environment. We need leadership that thinks and balances the needs of our citizens and the realities of this country and the world. We need Wesley Clark to provide the critical thinking to move the country forward on a path that will benefit future generations of americans as well as peoples elsewhare. John Kelly

Although at present I am a Dean supporter, I see his lack of experience as a leader of the armed forces as perhaps undermining his campaign. Maybe the reason I joined Deans campaign was because I am a fighter and want to see a moderate to liberal politic be revived in this nation. Yet, I am not a foolish fighter and want to see someone with your tactfullness run against Bush. General Clark, we need you. Please run for president!

I do not tend to be very politically active, though I always vote in national and local elections. I've been vaguely aware of efforts to convince you to run for president in 2004, but now that I've read a little about you -- and thought about the other Democratic Party hopefuls -- I want to add my voice to others in urging you to please run for president! I could chime in with appeals to your sense of duty, patriotism, vanity, or anything else that might work. I'm sure you've heard it all. But please check the numbers, consider the impact on your life and your family member's lives, and think about the difference you could make for all of us as our president. Sincerely Yours, Andrew Kratz

SAVE OUR BACON, GENERAL CLARK. Please run for president -- don't settle for a Vice Presidential nomination. Since you've met with all of the other Democratic candidates currently in the running, you no doubt know better than I do: those guys can't pull off a victory. There's no question America needs a new president. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. You're our only hope!

And I've got a sound bite for you: "George may be married to Laura . . but at the start of the war, he was seen misleading the public with his new companion. One Ms. Rosie Scenario." One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

America needs a new president. One who has the courage to restore our government to its historically progressive and enlightened path in the world and to lead it in a direction that can be supported by a majority of the American people. To do so will require a rare combination of skill, toughness and faith in the American people, in order to wrest control away from our current "leaders". These people will not surrender control easily, but it's essential that the battle is joined during this campaign. I believe that you have the qualities to provide us with the necessary leadership. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark: Frankly I never get involved in anything political. For the first time in my life I attended a meeting about you in Milwaukee hoping for the news that you might run for the presidency. I attached your Draft Wesley Clark sticker onto my car. I believe you are the right human being to win this race. Many of my friends, both in America and abroad are appalled by the present government. I am ashamed. We who are ashamed and frustrated have no voice. Some are even afraid to voice our opinion because of our being made to feel that voicing our opinion against this government is anti American. Many of us believe in you, and in what you say and stand for. Please take a chance for America. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark: Today is the 12th consecutive day I have written to ask you to run for president. I understand that maybe on Wednesday you will make an announcement. Wednesday night I am planning a big celebration, the first of many! Today I want to comment about guns. I understand that you have a number of guns, enjoy hunting and believe in local gun control laws. I disagree with all of these, but for now just want to relate a story that indicates some of my concerns about guns. When I was a young boy, about 14, I had a BB gun. I lived in a suburban area and could not really go "hunting" but I did shoot at squirrels, generally causing them no harm because the gun was not very powerful. One day I saw a small bird on a low branch of a tree and got underneath it and shot it with my gun. The bird took off, but then spiralled to the ground. In triumph I rushed across the street to look at my "kill." What I saw was a poor dead bird who in my stupidity I had killed for no reason at all. From that day forward I have never touched another gun and have tried to show kindness to animals. Now let's go forward some 40 years. I am walking along the street when I see a baby bird lying on the sidewalk. It had obviously fallen out of its nest but I could not find this nest. So I carefully picked the bird up and brought it home. Not knowing what to do next, I called a veterinarian's office and was given some advice. Then a found a woman who cared for injured animals and brought the bird to her. Her house was filled with such animals. She put the bird in an actual bird's nest she had and it immediately opened its mouth, whereupon she gave it some food. I left feeling a great sense of joy at having saved a living thing. Now we have a president who seems to enjoy killing. At governor of Texas he executed 152 person with no second thoughts despite the fact that there is ample evidence now that we should have second thoughts about capital punishment. He insults other countries, referring to them as "evil." Following 9/11 he has started two wars, including an illegal attack on Iraq which was opposed by the United Nations and most of the world and which we now know was based on lies. Bush is like me as a young boy-a thoughtless killer. We need a president who is like me as an adult--someone who believes that all life is worth saving. Please run and please be like me as an adult.

America needs a new president -- AMEN! Senator Biden gave a GREAT speech at the National Press Club last Tuesday (9/9/03)! As a life-long ('till recenty) Republican, I believe Joe Biden is saying things that desperately need to be said about this Administration's foreign policy, and saying them in a very sensible and moderate (maybe even just a little bit too moderate) way. I also think any presidential candidate who could say Joe Biden would be his Secretary of State would get a big boost by doing so. Brian K. Stanley Phoenix, Arizona

I’m a parent with 2 small children. I have a higher education and make a good living here in Silicon Valley as an Engineering Project Manager. I believe in the United States of America. There are multitudes of honest, hard-working Americans like myself who are waiting for three words from you, “Let’s do it!” Those three words will rise up a massive campaign just hiding under the national political surface. Those three words will be a call to action for people like me to get moving locally, using astute organizational skills, focus, tenacity, and most important, patriotic passion. Those three words will be the beginning catalyst toward a new direction for America that will make the history books. And as a father of two, I intend to tell my future grandchildren that I was a part of it at the beginning. I stood with President Wesley Clark.

Yes run for president but clearly state that we don't need and we have nothing to do with the Jews and we don't have to get involved anymore.Enough is enough. When you will make this statement in front of the country, you will probably be the certain winner. The great majority of the American people wants to stop the flowing money to Israel. In my humble opinion this is what you will bring you votes over the expectation.

Dear General Clark, It is very discouraging to me that today's polls indicate Joe Lieberman is leading the Democratic candidates in a head-to-head run against Bush. While I respect Sen. Lieberman, to me he is just another version oif the Republicans....Bush Lite as many Dean supporters say. There is a great deal of truth to that. This presents a unique opportunity for you to bring your principles, convictions and beliefs to the American people in a way that hasn't been seen before. Democrats are truly thirsting for real leadership...leadership that can be trusted to provide an alternative to the right-wing agenda of George Bush and his PNAC idealogues. Please decide to run for President and do it this week. We need you. I have never heard Democrats so united in the fact that George Bush must be defeated in November of 2004. We will be there for you. Hopefully, Chloe (Dede) Snyder, Syracuse, NY

I have written several times to my congressman (who happens to be Denny Hastert) outraged about this insane war and its insane costs. Then today Cheney says they "might" need more than $87 billion (meaning they DEFINITELY will need A LOT more). I am so sickened by this unelected president and his pillaging of our country's finances, military and natural resources. Each day brings more horrible news. The only way we can rise up is to support you, General Clark, because you are the ONLY one who can beat Bush and give us back our country. This White House will lie, manipulate and cheat to get another four years and then the gloves will really be off--I shudder to think how awful it will be. You have my support and dollars--I tell every one I can about you--and we cannot rest until that little twerp is gone.

Dear General Clark: I am one of those rare breads in Utah; I'm not a Republican. Although I am a registered Democrat, I have always believed in voting for the right person, not the party. I believe you are the right person, and standout high above the current 'talking head' Democratic Party candidates. You are this country's voice of intelligent reason and leadership in defeating George Bush, and righting our nation's direction in the world. We are the world's lone superpower, and we need the leadership worthy of our position, a leader who garners our nation's respect, as well as that of other nations. It is no different than being a respected CEO of an industry leader. One must lead with strength, dignity and compassion, not rule with heavy-handed indifference. I have never worked on a political campaign; have always been political, but apathetic towards politicians. This case is different. I am actually excited about the prospects of "General Clark for President", and feel a renewed sense of political involvement and urgency. I am excited enough about your running for the presidency that I would like to help on your campaign in whatever way is possible. As a professional engineer, business owner and MBA student, it is my belief that mine is not a lone voice, but one voice among many in this country. General Clark, the people of America need you. The world needs you. The current administration is a poor representative of the United States to the world. I believe you can bring honor, reason, dignity and respect to that office. Please run for president. Sincerely, David Winters

Under the Bush administration, America's prosperity is not promising. I, as much as anyone, know we need new representation. I have had my eye out for the ideal candidate to take Bush's place ever since Gore decided against running. Noone had earned my total confidence until I saw your brief appearance on Bill Maher's show, which convinced a 22 year old student that you are America's best hope for turning our current America into a worldwide mentor. Our nation's current influence on Earth is far less than par. We desparately need a candidate with an undying confidence in America's potential, not an entire administration exploiting it. I hope you have already made the decision to run for the nomination because I don't know how this letter will convince you that your democratic nomination is the best thing that could possibly happen to America. I can only thank you for your dedication to well-being worldwide and concern for its implementation in America.

GENERAL - I was a child during WWII - My dad was in his 50's so was not in combat, but he, as manager of a Western Union office in a small town, delivered telegrams to family members who were sent messages from the WAR Department. I had cousins mentally ruined by combat in WWII. I had high school friends killed in Korea. I served with nuc Navy and fortunately never saw battle. I regret that you had to be wounded several times fighting in Vietnam. I shed tears to think our young are being subjected to a war that not need to have taken place. I hope you will enter the Democrat primary so that our presidential election can see the difference between one who has seen the terror or war and knows it is a LAST resort, not the only. As a West Point graduate of the 50's told me recently, "war means diplomacy failed." I want someone who will not keep the word "terror" in our face to make us afraid, but one who will use diplomacy to draw all people of the world away from fundamentalism, and the "versus" that tries to separate us. I voted Republican until Nixon lied to us, and I want someone like you who will use your intelligence to redirect our country to a civilized society. Peace must be more than an absence of conflict. Go for it, please.

Dear Gernal Clark -- I am furious! My sister is a single mother of twins and a middle school teacher for children with special needs in New Hampshire. Yet, she did not qualify for the recent child credit because she is not making enough money!!!!!!!! where are our priorities? What is happening in this country, where billions are being spent for a country full of oil and we have so many problems of our own. What is happening when the needs of a special few, the already wealthy, are taking precedence over children without health care, children who go to bed hungrey here and elsewhere in the world, over people who are dying because they are not getting the care they should? There is NO QUESTION that America needs a new president and a new administration. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times and one who has the right set of priorities for our people and the people of the world. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. One who can restore America to a place of honor and respect. General Clark, I don't know if this is you. Perhaps it is. If you can ignite the spirit of America, then you could be the right person. But what I feel most strongly is that the egos of 9 or 10 men should not take precedence over the needs of this country and its citizens. If the Democrats don't unite -- SOON -- behind a leader who can bring together the various constituencies of this country who are eager for a change, we could have a disaster on our hands in November, 2004. Should you elect to run, and should you demonstrate you have this ability to unite the Democrats and the country behind you, you will have my total support! Sincerely, Lynne Levesque

During Wolf Blitzer's "Sunday Late Edition," Senator Biden stated that being "evenhanded" was NOT an option in the Middle East for America because "it suggests we don't have a dog in the fight. Well, we do have a dog in the fight. It's Israel!" Biden's definition of "evenhandedness" wreaks of POLITICS! The ONLY dog we should have in the fight is JUSTICE. And the lack of Justice, as advocated by Biden and other so-called American politicians who are part of Israel's "Amen corner," is the very reason why America is in trouble.

Dear Wesley, I have followed your career for awhile now and find you an attractive personality...I'm delighted that you will run on your particular platform...only someone of your stature will be able to beat the 'bushies' You have the internal fortitude, intellectual breadth, and international scope to represent those of us who have become disenchanted with the country of our birth and embarrased to be Americans at this time in history. I am of your own generation...born in the 1940s, but not a 'boomer'...we are now the 'elders' and want you to step up to the plate...there are incredibly many of us of all ages who support you! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Please don't allow your position to be influenced by letters from Israel's outriders in this country. Many moderate Zionists will support your candidacy if you are evenhanded and fair on Middle East policy. The ardently pro Israel extremists won't vote for you regardless of your position or their promises. They will support Bush because he is the best thing to every happen to them.

The county can't take another four years of GW Bush. The Republicans have created a martial environment that they cynically believe will keep them in power indefinitely. We can't afford to let them plunder the country's resources for another four years. Please be the next President for the sake of our children and grandchildren. Thank you.

In the months leading up to the last presidential election, I told myself if Bush somehow got elected I would leave the country. He was inaugurated in January; I moved to Canada in August. I'm now happily attending McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. In my mind it is clear that the U.S. needs a new president. I wholeheartedly believe that you have what it takes to challenge our current president. I, along with countless others, am asking you to take the challenge: run for President!

I am sure I don't need to point out to you the difficult situation the current administration has put our country in domestically, internationally, economically, socially, environmentally, militarily and otherwise.

Dear Sir: I URGE YOU TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. I have never in my life (aged 43 (soon) taken formal steps to support a political candidate in his/her campaign, but we are truly in desperate times. After sending this letter, I will visit the other part of the website and pledge financial support --- another thing I have never done. Our country is under assault by both enemies and steadfast allies for the positions adopted and misinformation disseminated by the administration of George W. Bush. WE NEED A LEADER. George W. Bush is the most dangerous of persons in the White House because he appears not to perceive the havoc (domestic and international) his policies wreak. Every word out of his mouth is suspicious. I find it impossible to tell whether he: (A) truly believes the words he speaks or (B) lies and engages in distortion and gross misstatement hoping that his words will be self-fulfilling prophecies and/or that he will write (not re-write) history in the words he prefers. In the end, perhaps it doesn't matter because the worst damage --- the death of trust in our President --- is done with either A or B. But for what it's worth, I rather suspect that our president truly believes the words he speaks, and that frightens me very much because it therefore would appear that he is incapable of objective analyais or being misled by his closest advisors, or perhaps both. I WANT TO TRUST MY PRESIDENT!!!!! And I don't. I don't believe a single word out of his mouth. General, I again urge you to run for President. And I submit to you that it is your duty to do so, not only because your positions on the issues are measured, reasonable and prudent, but because along with that, you also have the credentials and track record to win the election. PLEASE accept the challenge and run for this office. You have my unwavering support.

General, as I look around the networks and listen to the constant reframing and spin going on I told my wife that this country is in serious trouble. Not specifically because of terrorism, Iraq, civil liberties, or the economy. It's because we have lost the TRUTH. With over 65% of American's believing that Saddam is linked to 9/11 it's disturbing to me that the media and the spin doctors have this much influence on the information fed to the American people. By being pulled into an abyss of confusion this country has lost it's way and a confused country is not a safe or secure country in my opinion. We are looking for a leader that can clear the air and say "enough is enough". Although so many people are counting on you, you are not alone for people who care about the truth are behind you. We the people have a responsibility to educate ourselves by reading and listening to trustworthy experts who have been drown out by malicious agendas that serve to divide this country and promote confusion. And when the dust settles these people need to be exposed and held accountable. Rumsfeld slams the media last week and accuses them of hurting the war on terror and then today uses the media to spin, confuse, and manipulate the people into thinking that they actually planned for the war on terror to be fought in Iraq. Anger and bitterness is the only emotion I feel justified to display when I see and hear practically everything but the truth when I listen to our so called leaders. Their agenda has shifted from the war in Iraq to a re-election bid. All we can do is sit and watch it happen as another soldier gets killed or dismembered because of the failed policies of this Adminisstration. I'm tired of feeling helpless which is why I am compelled to write this. If our sincere actions out of our genuine patriotism can get you to run for President then we no longer will feel helpless now, or in the voting booth.

General Clark, I followed your commentary before during and after our current administration's invasion and occupation of Iraq. I found your views to be well reasoned and thoughtful. I also found your comments to be refreshingly frank and candid and not driven by the convention political thinking, talking point, sound bite, lets look at the polls first mentality that so permeates the leadership of the democratic party. I would support your efforts to secure the nomination for and the presidency of our country. I think you would bring leadership, intellect and experience and an approach outside the traditional political box mentality to the White House.

While I have gladly donated to many candidates, the race is far from over, and no clear frontrunner is visible. That is why I am writing this email; to ask you to make a decision that would finally show some promise from the Democratic wing. I ask you to step in and run for President, Democrats need you and moreso, this country needs you. Thank you. Good luck, President.

Dear General Clark: I thank you first for your dedicated service to our country and ideals. I strongly urge you to run for President because I believe the time is now for one of your dedication to public service, discipline, determination and intellect to be our President. As an attorney, it was my privilege to serve on staff in The Florida Senate for four years. In that time I came to know and admire many true leaders. I have also been inspired by the leadership of my grandfather, who served as a colonel in the U.S. Army for over 40 years. I believe that you have proven the qualities of being a true leader like these people that I have had the privilege of knowing personally. For this reason, you have my support. Best wishes in making your decision.

There will be no political guru in the White House shading each decision in light of the next election. 2. I will select a VP running mate whose background complements my own. The VP will have legislative experience so that we may blend our skills in working creatively with the Congress. 3. I will not spend the next four years scouring the country raising money for the next election. The people deserve a President who does the work of the country; the next election will take care of itself; (or there's plenty of work to do). Let's go for it, General. Gene Kirkpatrick

Dear Mr. Clark, I have been so lost since Clinton has left office. It seems to me that we are living in an America that is fearful and hateful. I feel we have lost our soul. Granted we have all had a shock to our systems on September 11th but I believe actions driven by hate, revenge and fear only lead us down a dark path. I feel this is what the Bush administration is doing to us. They are masters at releasing misinformation to the press only to retract those statements later on. However the retractions get little to no publicity in the press. As a father of an 11 year old boy I will be damned if I let him put him put his life on the line in the future for some misconceived ego driven actions our president amd his administration are currently carrying out. I may sound desperate and emotional here but that is exactly what I am feeling and I feel helpless to change it. Those of us who opposed the war and the president have been ridiculed and silenced but not any longer. I am making my voice heard loud and clear and that is why I am imploring you to make a run for the office of the president of the United States. There is something genuine about you. Something I think the average true American can connect with and look up to. I have seen u on Bill Mahar and you came across with such ease and grace it truly remined me of Clinton (A compliment because aside from his failings he is one of my heros). As a fortunate son of a living world war 2 veteran, a father of a wonderful 11 year old boy, a citizen of the world, a believer in the power of the UN and NATO and lastly as a proud citizen of the United States I encourage you to stand up for us and run for president of the United States. Help us rise up and again take our proud place in the global community. Thank you for your time. Regards, Tim Marney Fairfax, Va.

Dear General Clark Interest in a Draft Clark movement is peaking right now. Public interest in backing one of the Democratic Party Presidential Candidates is now starting to gain significant traction. It is time to make the leap Sir. Any further delay harms rather than enhances your chances. Grass roots alliegences are not easily shifted. Volunteers bond with each other in a campaign, much as soldiers do in war. As an insurgent candidate, your success depends on tapping into a rising groundswell of public support now. You can not afford to allow potential activists to solidify their attachments to other campaigns. The public has entered decision making mode. They are paying attention and forming judgements now that Bush seems vulnerable. There is a large wave of support for you cresting now Sir. Much like surfing, it must be timed correctly to position yourself to ride it to victory. I know you have committed to deciding by weeks end. I humbly suggest Sir, that if at all possible, you not wait untill that last minute. Announce tommorrow that you will decide within 48 hours. That will freeze the race, and everyone's positions relative to it, in place for that brief time window, during which interest in your canidacy will build dramatically. By making the statement I suggested Monday AM, you will dominate the political news cycle for an entire week. Monday: coverage of your impending decision. Wed: coverage of your actual decision. This coming weekend: coverage of the implications of and fall out from your decision. We need you sir. Please move boldly. Tom Rinaldo

Dear General Clark, I've never written a letter like this before. As a life-long Democrat, businessman and family leader, I have been content to let the political process play itself out. However, our country is at a cross-roads in its history and we need strong, capable and responsible leadership. I believe that you can provide this leadership. General Clark, please run for the office of President of the United States. If you do, I pledge to do all in my power to help make that outcome a reality. Sincerely, James Poley

Dear Gen Clark: THIS COUNTRY *CANNOT* BE SAVED WITHOUT YOUR HELP!!! You are THE ONLY person that CAN (and, DEFINITELY WILL) unseat George W Bush in the upcoming election. Your impeccable credentials and irreproachable integrity have more than qualified you for the Presidency, in the views of millions of Americans. You are the ONE person whom the Corporate Giants that presently rule this country fear most, and with good reason! They well understand that you have the widest support of the citizens - - even though you have yet to declare your candidacy! This fact speaks for itself, and it speaks very loudly! Since most intelligent Americans have no trouble seeing what has happened since Dubya & Gang "took office" (quite literally), I have no doubt that you would win by a landslide.... if it were not for one glaring fact that *MUST* be corrected IMMEDIATELY: The electronic voting machines which most Americans will be using to cast their votes for you HAVE *SERIOUS* FLAWS!!! Like recording a vote for candidate B, that was actually cast for candidate A!!! Like recording a NO vote as a YES vote!!! Like "losing" tens of thousands of votes, NOT across-the-board, but only for "certain" candidates!!! These machines are made by companies that are either wholly owned by Republicans, and/or companies that receive direct support from Republicans!!! (and *LOTS* of it!!) Example: The CEO of Diebold Election Systems, Wally O'Dell (at a Bush-Cheney 2004 fundraiser he hosted), was recently quoted as saying: "I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President next year." Diebold Election Systems is one of the major suppliers of these machines, and is based in Canton OH. Diebold is one of three finalists currently seeking a $100 million contract with the state of Ohio to provide computerized voting machines for the 2004 elections. Diebold has worked on its computers with Battelle, a well-established collaborator with the U.S. military and CIA. (some say Battelle also has ties to the Anthrax letters that were sent) Computer scientists from John Hopkins indicated that it would be relatively easy to hack into and manipulate the computer voting results in these machines. There is absolutely no "paper trail" associated with these machines, by which their accuracy can be ascertained!! (The Constitution states that 'counting of votes' be done in public, which is impossible, using these machines) Example: One lawmaker, Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb, was part owner and former Chairman and CEO of ES&S (Electronic Systems & Software), a company that made all the equipment that counted the votes during his last two runs for office, yet he failed to list his ties to the company on federal disclosure forms!! Example: Accenture is an offshore corporation (not incorporated in the US, for tax evasion purposes) but was derived from Andersen Consulting (of Enron fame), with distinct ties to VP Cheney and other high-ranking administration "officials", and is the company presently supplying millions of US military personnel with absentee voting services. Accenture, incidentally, has supplied their machines to many other countries as well. Diebold, ES&S, and Accenture are the top three companies vying for the $3.9 BILLION provided by the "Help America Vote Act" (HAVA), which Bush passed in Oct 2002, that will help place these voting machines (at taxpayer expense) in all precincts of every county, of every state, hopefully by the 2004 "Selection", and definitely by the 2008 election. THIS SITUTATION *MUST* BE CORRECTED BEFORE THE 2004 ELECTION, OR YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE!!! EVERY CITIZEN MUST DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE VOTE THEY CAST!!! This is an issue that is unparalleled in history, and desperately needs national (if not global) exposure, and correction, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!! PLEASE (RIGHT NOW!) see more about this - the whole story, originally made public by Bev Harris (Seattle WA) here: http://www.blackboxvoting.com/ there are MANY more links about this, here: http://scoop.co.nz/mason/features/?s=usacoup To all who read this: PLEASE PASS THIS INFO ON!!! After just listening to Vice pResident Dick Cheney on Tim Russert's "Meet The Press", I must now go throw up!!! PLEASE HELP US, GEN CLARK!!! - WE'RE WITH YOU!!! Sincerely, Ken Walters Melba ID

Please read the editorial in the New York Times today, 14 Sept, Section 4 page 10 "An Unsustainable Policy on Iraq. I have been sending this message to my Congressman Greenwood. We are issuing reconstruction contracts in Iraq only to " well connected American companies". How can we expect cooperation in the reconstruction effort from Europe when we provide no funds? Also, President Karzai of Afghanistan has requested 15 to 20 Billion dollars for reconstruction and we are only providing millions literally inviting the return of the Taliban. Frankly, reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan is doomed unless the US has a more intelligent policy. I truly wish that Harry Truman and George Marshall were alive today; you are the best bet we have. You can be sure of my support. Jack Seitner, retired GE and WW2 Veteran.

Although many of the current field of Dems would be an asset and valued members of your future administration, I don't believe we have a prayer if our hopes rest on any one of them to unseat and dismantle the regime of "Bush the Jr." Please run and WIN not only for the future of our great Nation, but also to challenge and inspire all of us to begin once again to work hard to create a world that is free, safe and offers opportunities for all of our citizens. Most of all for my 9 year old son Nathan. Together under your leadership we can create a vision for the future that will inspire his generation to lead in this ever changing and complicated world. May God give you the strength necessary to run boldly and confidently toward victory. Most sincerely, Chris Jones

General Clark, It is difficult to think about raising a family and being an educator in such a turbulent time for our nation. President Bush's administration has alienated our allies and created economic havoc in our own country. His policies are backwards, to say the least, and he has tried to keep the faith of the American people by instilling fear in them, which is wrong. Democrats need a man of strong character and vision, one much like we had in President Clinton. You may be our best and only chance of restoring the status of this country both at home and abroad. Please continue your service to our country and become a candidate for the Presidency. J.R. Boudouris High school teacher and coach Carrollton, IL

September 14, 2003 Dear General Clark, I encourage you to run for PRESIDENT of our United States of American. The Bush/Cheney administration is destroying this country and is a treat to peace at home and around the world. We must not sacrifice our freedoms, lives, and security for the profit of the oil industry and of Halliburton. This declaration of war on 'terrorism' is a prescription for endless wars and endless bloodshed and it takes away the power to declare war from the congress--which is where it belongs. The war on terrorism is a convenient, insidious means for Cheney and Bush to attack whomever they please, for ‘terrorists’ are everywhere the administration wants them to be and is a label that can be applied to anyone that fights against them. This is an extremely immoral war. They profit from it. They conduct it. We pay the price. This administration ought to be imprisoned, for their actions are crimes against the American citizenry as well as against all of humanity. I've read them some current democratic candidates would like to have you as their running mate. That's great, but you are the one with the strongest leadership qualities--you should be the one at the helm. You should run for president, not the VP. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Sincerely, Steve Clough, Ph.D. 109 E.

Let's get it on with Clinton-Clark right now. For Hillary not to run in 2004 will be regarded as a cynical implicit assumption that Bush is unbeatable, for if she is wrong and a Dem wins in 2004 she will have no chance to run in 2008, and 2012 is too long to wait. But if she is right and Bush wins in 2004 she can return to run in 2008, even more experienced for her 2004 run. There is no one more qualified to be president than Hillary Clinton. There is no better campaign manager than Bill Clinton. Draft Clinton and Clark now and let's get the mo' on. John R. Whitman 276 Oakland Street Wellesley, Massachusetts 02481 USA 781-431-8636

Dear Gen. Clark, A poll released yesterday shows that Bush is vulnerable in his bid for reelection next year. Matched against a generic Democrat, the poll found Bush at 49 percent and a Democratic nominee at 44 percent. However, when pitted against any of several Democratic candidates running for their party's nomination, Bush is the clear choice. None of the Democratic candidates has emerged as a significant challenger and, according to the poll, Bush comfortably leads all four tested, generally by a margin of about 15 percentage points. At this early stage of the campaign, few of these candidates' positions are widely known to the public. These statistics show that people want to defeat Bush, but the right opponent has yet to declare for president. You are that man! Please say yes! Give us hope again.

General Clark: YOU have the qualifications to be a great president. I believe you have personal integrity and a sincere concern about the coersive, dishonest, manipulative and subversive path our current ''leadership'' is exercising. You have extensive and successful foreign policy experience as well as more than a working knowledge of the budget process. I think the Pentagon budgets are tougher than the administrations. WE THE PEOPLE want our civil rights back, fair & decent health care FOR ALL - a president who cares about people not corporations. A president who cares sincerely about education. I truly do not fear terrorists from abroad as much as I do from those within the current administration. I consider most of the administration irresponsible authoritarians who hide behide the veil of their God allowing for less and less separation of church and state (faith based initiatives). In a less giving manner they want and are desperately trying to dismantle our social institutions such as social security, medicare and medicare. I am BEGGING you to run for president. I truly believe you are the only possible candidate who will beat the Shrub. I think Republicans are really concerned you will run. YES! YES! YES! I could go on with more issues but I'm sure you've heard most of them. My real purpose is to let you know how much I think of you and how much I believe you can help WE THE PEOPLE who could again feel a part of this great country that used to be a democracy not a corpocracy. Also I believe a patriot is one who believes in what is right for himself and his values, the mores and his country, decents when he sees civil liberties being threatened, policy being made without discussion/debate that includes the American Public in the process. This is a civil liberty and a founding principle - not the bullying statement "you're either with us or against us". I consider Rove, Ashcroft, Rice and Cheney the Evil Quads. I've no idea what happened to Powell. Shrub is simple ignorant,at least I hope so, and has been led by the others including Rumsfeld, Richard Pearl and Wolfowitz. There are others too many to name. If this transmission is checked out by Poindexter you know where I'll be. I know he's still data mining in the Pentagon after a token resignation. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!! If you had not been really important to me - and others I have talked to- I would not have bothered to write. I believe in you. So take the risk and do it!!!!!!!!! For the sake of WE THE PEOPLE. We need you! Thank you, Nancy Flanagan Hartke 133 Robin Rd. Bastrop, Tx 78602 512-581-9693 [email protected]

General Clark, You and I are of the same era. I was an Infantry Platoon Leader and an Infantry Company Commander in Viet Nam, and I imagine you were also. I served 19 months in Viet Nam. I was wounded and spent 55 days at the Camp Zama Hospital in Japan. I returned to Viet Nam after getting out of the hosptal and doing physical therapy for another month. I have a 50% disability rating from the VA, but I spent about 8 years on Active Duty. I got to know many colonels and some generals while in the Army. I was impressed by how professional they were. When I saw your commentary on CNN, you reminded me of those other professionals I had known. No BS, no apple pie and motherhood slogans, no spin doctoring. You're the kind of soldier who said give me my orders and my resources, and I'll get the job done. You're the kind of man we need in the White House right now. It is obvious to me that this war was not professionally run. We moved too fast and without the resources to do the job right. We're paying the price for these gung ho types like Rumsfeld running the show. We need you to appoint a Secretary of Defense who can take over and finish this fiasco honorably for both ourselves as a nation and for the people of Iraq. We need to regain the esteem we once had in the world as a caring and just America. The rest of the world looks upon us as warmongers, and I can't say I blame them. We did not need this war to fight terrorism or to protect ourselves from WMD's. We need a President that can restore America to our fitting and proper place as head of the world's democracies, leading by example and respecting the rights and concerns of other nations. You are that man. No other Democrat can bring your experience or credentials to the political fight to stop the damage to America that is being done daily by those right wing kooks (my mother's term - and she was a Republican Committeewoman of a township of 35,000 voters) in this administration. They were hell bent on this war from 20 Jan 01on. Damn the torpedoes;full steam ahead! When the Republicans are unable to give cogent responses to Democrat criticism, they always resort to questioning our patriotism. Name calling actually passes for intelligent discussion in right wing circles. Just listen to Rush Limbaugh if you don't believe me. In my youth, Pat Buchanan wrote editorials in The St Louis Globe Democrat without a single sentence with any logical meaning. "Those fuzzy thinking pinko leftwing intellectuals" was one of his favorites, judging by how often he used it. My point is you are the only Democrat that will make that kind of name calling laughable to the public at large. The latest USA Today poll shows the country perceives the Republicans as better on foreign affairs and national defense than the Democrats. You can turn that around. You can enunciate a policy that will allow us to finish the Iraq War honorably. You're the only one who can do this. Don't let your country down. We need you in the White House. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. We need someone like you badly. Our country is in a more precarious position than before 9/11, we have become somewhat untrustworthy, frightening, and even ridiculous before the other countries of the world, our populace in largely in a kind of blind panic (this is possibly the most troublesome and unnerving thing), our civil liberties are under attack, we are subjected to the worst kind of propaganda/pushing an agenda forward with allegedly high principles that are underneath the surface extremely deceptive. Help! We really need someone to defeat this administration and put America back on the right track. I can barely recognize the country I have always loved, and I think you know the feeling. I relish the thought of you debating George W. Bush in the upcoming year, calming the fears of ordinary American everywhere instead of fanning the flames of these fears till the country can barely see straight. General Clark, America needs you.

Dear Wesley Clark, America needs somebody who tells facts and not spreading ideology. You feel so fresh on the screen with your brilliant analytical capabilities. I am German, live in Texas and am married with a wonderful American wife and we have an American-German son. I want that my son can grow up in a world where our two countries have a great relationship again which is not poisened by incapable diplomacy and arrogance. I don't want him to be in a position to justify the activities of the other country. You are a uniter instead of a divider like President Bush and a big part of his team. Clear, effectful policy, this is what is needed in the USA right now. A clear and sharp mind based on years of experience. With your military experience and your economic education, you would be beneficial for the US. Not arrogant and loud as most of the Bush team, but clear and analytical and effecftive as Clark. In my opinion the Bush administration has made a wide range of mistakes and is following the wrong policy. I would love to see: (1) You strongly involved in domestic and foreign policy (2) Bush not reelected in 2004 ==> Please either run for President by yourself or join one of the other candidates as running mate (I think a Dean-Clark team would be great and tough to beat). You would match so well, in my opinion. Thanks for your dedication to this country and to the whole world.

I'm an American who's been living in Denmark for almost 20 years. Following events in the USA from afar has afforded me the opportunity to see observe the unfolding of history through eyes that are somewhat more objective than if I'd been living in the States. General Clark, I am most pained by the turn of events since George W. Bush assumed office. I see a president and administration wrought with fear, hate & misplaced national pride. In short, George W. Bush is an embarassment to The U.S.A. A friend recently sent me a copy of Michael Moore's open letter to you, Gen. Clark, and judging by his words, I can see that you are the sort of person who can stand for and restore common sense to America. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, There is no doubt in my mind that you could easily win the Democratic Nomination. That's why I've moved on and to think ahead on how to unseat Bush. With 70% of Americans who still think the war on Iraq was justified and 50% would re-elect him baffles me. It's not enough to bash Bush or to feel good about a certain candidate. The truth about Bush must come out. We could preach to the choir all day long about his failures but it is middle America we must persuade. Which leads me to your choice of a running mate. I hope you give this as much thought and scrutiny as your choice to run. Many assume that it would be Howard Dean. BIG, BIG MISTAKE. Here's why, HEADLINES: "INEXPERIENCED GENERAL TEAMS WITH FAR-LEFT SOCIALIST IN BID FOR WHITEHOUSE." This is all that is needed to spook the swing voters. Once Karl Rove gets involved and put Dean under a microscope the media attention will be on him and not you because they can’t bash you. Even Donna Brazil noted that YOU TWO ARE A BAD MARRIAGE. If you stay Centrist, avoid Dean and choose an experienced moderate running mate you have my full support. I fear Dean more than I fear Bush. Opinions are a dime a dozen but advice is priceless.

I am eagerly awaiting the anouncement of your decision and hoping that it will be "YES". If so, I hope you won't use political operatives to steer your public image. The American people respect honesty even when they might not agree wholely with another's position. "Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?" Expedience asks the question, "Is it political?" Vanity asks, "Is it popular?" But conscience asks the question, "Is it right?" There comes a time when one must take a position that's neither safe, nor political, nor popular, but he must make it because his conscience tells him that it's right." --Martin Luther King Jr. Bill Becker (Registered Republican - for Primary voting)

General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Here is a proposal to take conservative votes from Bush. Change two hundred thousand abortions to adoptions in this country by caring for these mothers at Women's Shelters and paying for it with a 5-cent tax per can of soda pop. Sixty per cent of Americans believe abortion is wrong. Get them behind this plan. Women's Shelters can benefit from expansion, extra funding - they already have the expertise to support women in need. This is a win-win-win proposition - adoptive parents also win! Think about it.

Being President of the U.S. involves being adept with both domestic and international issues. Our new President must be solidly grounded in facts not only about world affairs, but also economics, education, the environment, and social issues. Taking on the Herculean task of being President (especially given the dismal state of affairs Bush has put us in), also involves sound theory, well-thought out plans, an eagerness to do the job, and, yes, even more than experience. It also involves the ability to implement his (or her) plans. To be effective as a President, a candidate needs: *To be thoughtful and articulate. *To be respected at home and abroad, by friends and foes alike. *To be respectful of and open to new ideas while staying true to our country’s ideals. *To be highly intelligent and well-educated in a variety of areas. *To have sound values and ethics. *To be personable and pleasant. *And, yes, it doesn’t hurt to be charming and photogenic. I believe you can fulfill all of the above requirements. Moreover, you may be the only one who can. Your resume will make the Republicans sweat. I can’t imagine Bush being able to hold a candle to your in a one- on-one debate. We need a president who can think on his feet, yet not be impulsive. You have not been in a hurry to jump into the Democratic race. You seem to be taking your time to consider options, strategies, possibilities, and articulate your stand on issues before putting yourself into the fray. You have not been pressured by others into doing anything before your are ready. I admire that. No candidate can be exactly sure how he will handle tough issues, such as the unemployment rate and taxes, once he gets elected. We need a president who doesn’t pretend to have a cure for all that ails us. Bush has not been open with us on a wide range of issues—from energy concerns to financing for Iraq. Until a candidate is elected and has access to full information he will be unable to state exactly how he will attack all the problems now facing us. What we need more than a candidate who gives voice to answers we want to hear is one who concurs with basic Democratic views and has proven problem solving abilities. We do not need a candidate who will make promises he cannot keep. We need one who will tell us what his goals are and how he will work to make them happen. I believe you are that man. According to all the information I have read about you, you are pro-choice, pro-universal health care, anti-assault rifles, anti-school vouchers, and respectful of other cultures and countries. For some of us, it might be a bit scary to elect a military man as President. However, a true military man has the knowledge to wage war but does not want to and will do everything he can to avoid it. I believe you are that man. Democrats talk about needing to have a candidate who can win. Not only can Clark win, I believe you have the ability to solidly rout Bush and, once elected, have the credentials to be able to do the job well. Wesley Clark, you are the man we need. Please run.

General Clark, I am a police Lieutenant and a life long Democrat. I am very concerned for our country as I know you realize many Americans are. The Republicans are going to try anything to hold on to the White House and their direction threatens to do grave harm to our country. You are right, Americans are desperately looking for competent leadership. You sir are that leader. You are almost too good to be true. It is NOT too late! General Clark, America needs you.

I ask you to lead our country back into it's role as leader of the free world, not leader of the Bush vision of a colonial America.

Dear General Clark: My husband retired from the USAF and was commander of the AFCS before doing so. We've been around a while and know a true winner when we see one. We know that you will have to give up a lot -- both financially as well as privately -- to run as our next President. However, you didn't make your status in the military by being thin skinned or by quitting when the chips were down. You succeeded with honor, dignity and trust and America needs you now more than ever. The GOP are already having heart attacks for fear you may run. Even the other 9 Democrats are having a few heart palpitations. The GOP will attempt to do to you what they did to Max Cleland in Georgia during last falls re-election (a triple amputee from his tour in Viet Nam), and even what they did to Al Gore. We need a voice in our party; one with strength and determination, and one which will bring our party together again -- and we are asking you to run this race with us. It will feel good to be able to raise our heads up high again and to know that our country will be in good hands again. Our country has been raped, lied to and hijacked by the Administration currently in office. And you can count on us to sticking with you all of the way. We hope you will consider running for the highest office of this land; and to be our Supreme Commander in Chief. Someone who will look out for our great men and women who are currently serving our country so honorably. We're sure you're aware of what Bush and his party have been doing to their benefits. (My) very first vote was for John F. Kennedy and (I) felt good about him and the Democratic party. For the first time in a long time, (I) feel the same way now. You are bringing back the hope and aspirations that many of us have lost over the years. With fingers crossed, and with a hopeful heart, we are... Respectfully Yours, Norman and Robyn of Phoenix, Arizona

Earlier this evening Laura in Alexandria Virginia wrote to you General, to thank you for the defence of dissent in democracy you gave on Scarborough Country on its September 11th program. Her heart felt comments led me to look for the transcript from that program, which I found. I am attaching a portion of it to this letter, so others may also read what you had to say. A movement is forming behind you General, a movement only you can truly mobilize. I take strength in your leadership, and also from those who have rallied to it, as I daily am reminded that the true wealth of this nation is its citizens. I wanted to share your comments with others who like me, gain hope and strength from reading the letters posted here. Thank you Laura for calling my attention to this: " SCARBOROUGH: General, you, of course, sir, have served this country proudly in times of war, in times of peace. I know you were listening to General Al Haig’s words earlier about the importance of everybody lining up and supporting the president in a time of war. Do you take issue with anything he said? CLARK: Well, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with dissent. In fact, I think it’s important in time of war. It’s one of the things I fought for during the Vietnam War. I fought for my people who were in uniform over there searching their country. But I also fought for the right of people to take to the streets and protest that war, because I don’t think you can stop democracy because the country is under challenge. When the country is under challenge, I think you need democracy. You need to hold on to your fundamental values even more strongly. If you take the position that General Haig gave-and I have the greatest respect and admiration for General Haig-he was my boss. And I learned a tremendous amount from him. And I think he has been a fantastic leader and made a great contribution, and still making it to this country. But that having been said, I just couldn’t accept the idea that, if you have a different idea, you can’t express it publicly, because that leaves all of the authority and all of the challenge within the administration. Does it mean there shouldn’t be an election when there’s a war? And if it’s a war of indefinite duration, should we give up our democracy? Look, we did this during 2002 in the election. We went into and supported a congressional resolution to go into Iraq. I was one of the skeptics. I doubted. I couldn’t quite see the evidence that compelled it. But, OK, we all went along with it. It turns out that there wasn’t an imminent threat. At least, no evidence has been produced to suggest that. It turns out that the operation was not planned effectively. It turns out that dissent, questioning, open challenge, would have produced a stronger, more effective operation, might have saved lives, would have certainly saved our fortune, and would have helped this country to be successful. And so I think the dissent and criticism can have a very constructive purpose. And, indeed, it’s essential in a democracy to do that. " General Clark, our nation needs to hear much more from you. Please run, for all of us.

Dear Mr. Clark, I am a 30 yo medical student who also happens to be a democrat. I am a not impressed with the democratic candidates thus far. Of course I will vote for one of them, like most democrats who are fed up with the current White House. I fear however that my vote will have little effect on the next four years as I do not believe that any of the current democratic hopefuls have a chance at defeating President Bush. I was very impressed with your appearance on Meet the Press, and I think thatyour views most parrallel my own. I think that you have a shot at defeating President Bush, and urge you to run. Unfortunately, I do not have any funds to donate to your campaign at this time, but if you choose to run you can count on my vote, and my support. Sincerely Keith M Golden

General Clark... I spent 30+ years working for DA, with three of those years in uniform ('64 - '67). As a result I have tremendous respect for those who serve wearing the uniforms of our nation, and I hate to see their efforts wasted in a fruitless quagmire because of so many stupid assumptions. Without a doubt this beloved country of ours is in some trouble because of what now goes on in D.C. We are a political laughingstock abroad, our military is being spent without any apparant plan other than to fill the coffers of a select group of companies, men are being hurt and killed daily, we are preached at from the White House, and far from being united, we are seriously divided as a nation. The honor of the presidency is in question despite the empty words and promises of the incumbent. The nation needs a radical change from where we are to where we were headed under President Clinton. Our people are treated as commodities, the needy still need, programs to improve lives at home, and the world (environment, et al) are being eroded in favor of big business, and the general financial situation is in a shambles. We do not need tax cuts that don't create jobs. We do not need tax refunds that amount to a pittance to the average citizen. We do not need an increased deficit. We do not need bravado. We do not need a comical, farcial NUCULAR leader. We need someone who speaks the language with authority. We need someone who listens. analyzes, then acts. WE NEED LEADERSHIP. WE NEED A LEADER WITH INTELLIGENCE. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN BRING OUR GREAT NATION BACK TO GREATNESS. GENERAL CLARK, WE NEED YOU! PLEASE!!! Sincerely, Bernie Winegrad

09/13/03 Dear General Clark, I look forward to you announcing your candidacy for President this next week and I hope you'll give your support for Israel's right to defend itself against Palestinian terrorism! As a Jew I know there is no easy road map to peace in this region of the world, but I am frustrated and angry with our current support of Palestinian statehood while a terrorist state is the norm and Israel is the worlds favorite scapegoat to all that ails the Arab world and Western European nations who have large Arab populations. General Clark it is imperative that the only democracy in the middle east continues to have our unwavering support, because Israel certainly has few friends in the UN. I know you will have your own views on Israel when you run, but know that America needs a leader that can take a stand and not waver or allow dual standing orders via the state department give the impression to the Arab world and UN nations by offering Israel up as a prize. I sincerely hope you'll run and you will have this NCO's support and insight on other issues. James D. Chandler US Army Ret.

The polls are now showing that a majority of Americans are unhappy with the way Bush does business. It is time that the elected Republicans who hold the majority in both houses of congress stop doing the lock-step march with the administration. It is time that they did something about the debt, about the bleeding state budgets, about kids not getting college tuition money. Come November 2004 there will be another blood letting. This time it will be the bleeding of the republicans who have intentionally starved the states, intentionally strangled the US government-- for who-- for the wealthiest one percent and for corporations-- the "terminator" human invention that has come back to assault humanity. It is time that we face the fact that the people of the US are under assault by the super wealthy and the mega corporations. They've declared war and they are winning. But we can take back America. America needs a new president. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

We hear a lot of talk from Bush about winning at war. As a matter of fact, the word “war” seems to be his favorite word. When it comes to answering the questions of the victims of war, there are no answers. Where is the compassion? The 9/11 families, as well as the rest of the nation, are owed answers by George W. Bush. Those answers should provide information with honesty and humility. Unfortunately, Junior Bush has acted with cowardice and callousness, not compassion. America needs a new president.

Bush’s request to double our current billion-a-week spending on senseless wars sounds like a madman’s logic—and it is. As our state and nation tumble into a black hole of debt, our Senators and Congressman would do well to ponder the consequences of Bush’s next bet a little more carefully.

Dear General Clark, This is the third time I've written you. I'm not sure whether you are reading any of these letters, but I have something I need to say, something I would like anyone reading these letters to know. I saw you on Scarborough the other night. General Haig was one, claiming that people who are critical of our president and his war policies are aiding and abetting the enemy. He suggested that protestors are what led to the debacle that became Vietnam. And then it was your turn. You were very respectful to your former boss, but in a calm, measured and reasonable manner and with great dignity, you disagreed 100% with him. "I wasn't fighting just for my men in Vietnam," you said (paraphrasing here) but also for the Americans protesting back home." You went on to say that dissent is not only a right, but a necessity. How more dissent before the war might have led us to act with greater wisdom or prepared better. Oh, but you were so much more eloquent than I could ever hope to be. You were superb. So now I want to say thank you. For months, I've heard people like me--those who had reservations or criticisms, or those who protested the war--scornfully labeled as "unpatriotic" or "peaceniks" and "appeasers" and "traitors." It has been rather difficult. But I know the opposite is true--that it's because I love my country that I dissent, and I'm so very glad and grateful that you have the courage to say so. The best thing? That bonehead Scarborough couldn't think of a single thing to say in rebuttal. I think you actually shut him up! For that, I would vote for you alone! Thank you again, General. And please run for President!

Our nation is at a critical time as we enter into the 2004 presidential election. As someone who deeply loves his country, I am becoming more and more concerned about our safety here and abroad. Since the tradegy of 09-11, our country has evolved into a very scary place to live and rise a family. We need a leader to bring us together, not further divide us. Please consider running for president , we really need you!

Dear Sirs, As a former military officer myself and having served under Clark, I can attest to the fact that Mr. Clark is a strong leader and a truly innovative thinker. Not afraid to make decisions but wise in mechanics of diplomacy as well. I applaud his stance and feel that as any American, he has the right to question the current administration and itâ€™s policies. As a member of the military you do not enjoy these rights only the heavy often dangerous burden of protecting them. My hats off to him and any other American who has the courage to be a free thinker and not ignorantly mimic those who choose to use political spin to support a very flawed policy for the US. I fully support Mr. Clarkâ€™s ability and his courage to take a stand for what many millions of Americans believe in but are afraid to express â€“ a strong nation with a solid foundation capable of operating with tact and discretion a global society. I am disgusted with the current administrations tactic of wrapping their poor decisions in an American flag and declaring those who challenge them as unpatriotic. How dare them and any other citizen who is a true American to believe that free speech is something to be suppressed. I, like Mr. Clark and millions of others, have spent a large portion of our adult lives defending this great nation and itâ€™s constitution and fully support the right of each and every American to express his or her rights of free speech. Good or bad, pleasant or not, these rights are what make this country great. I and all my friends will be behind Mr. Clark should he decide to make this very important decision, one which I know will be of great benefit to this country and the entire world.

Dear General, America indeed needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. And I BELIEVE STRONGLY that you are the man for the job! You a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. Most importantly, you have unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004, and to move our great nation forward in these uncertain times. General Clark, weare asking you now to run for president. You felt duty call you to enter the military and to defend the principles that the USA stand for, but there is a greater calling, and it is time to answer it. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

And I have no doubt that you could beat Bush, perhaps being the only person who could. Please get involved and put our country back on the right track. It could be too late in 4 years. Thank you.

Hello General I have decided not to continue my struggling efforts to support you. After several days of painstaking commitment, I was at my last rope when i approached my boss at which time, after one look into those worried eyes he pointed out to me, from the photograph on your web that you have "issues ' that I'm not sure Gert could even understand. My suggestion to you is to remove your photo from your web-site . And please don't make your wife so diminutive by calling her Gert in public. Is'nt her real name Gertrude? Waaaaaz up? America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times.

General Clark, Hopefully you have already decided on a presidential run. In case it is still up in the air, consider this yet another appeal to see your name on the ballot. It would be galvanzing. I was reflecting today on how my opinion of George W. Bush has progressively worsened. Although, I would have never supported the man at any time, there was a point at which I thought he was somewhat principled. I now perceive him as one who has surrounded himself with father figures in his administration, shamelessly pandering to corporate special interests. He has misled the American people time and time again, first in depicting himself as a "compassionate conservative," pledging his commitment to education, Americorps, the creation of affordable generic perscription drugs, aggresive investigations into corporate malfeasence, etc. All empty promises. As for Iraq, his justifications for invading, let alone the reconstruction efforts, are obviously questionable at best. In followng your recent commentary, General Clark, I am left with the impression that you are not only a suitable alternative to Preisdent Bush (for that would not be saying much), but a deep thinker, who infuses his analyses with pragmatism and integrity. Your impressive credentials don't hurt either. In short, I would be thrilled by a Clark in 2004 campaign. Please run! Sincerely, Bill Cole Madison, NJ

General Clark, I said months ago to my husband, "Where are our heroes? We NEED a hero." I meant that in a more or less psychological/mythos sense... that great leaders must arise from the hearts of the people in times of need to lead them. I thought that this was perhaps the only thing that might save us. But I looked around and despaired because I saw no one who could fulfill the requirements of this great mythic role in our lives. I saw men and women whose ideas were in the right place, but no one who had that special ability to connect across boundaries and with our collective hearts as a champion of the people. Yet now... I see that a champion IS arising from the hearts of the people. Do I dare hope? Yes... I think it is significant, General Clark, that it is THE PEOPLE who are asking, no -- begging -- you to run for President on the Democratic ticket. It is not something you have decided to do (and yes, I know you haven't officially decided to run yet) on your own, for your own personal reasons, but your consideration of this task is in response to a groundswell of pleas and support FROM the people. This is important. You are responding to a call from the Voice of the People, and I thank you for listening to us. I have said as well that, at this juncture, we who want to see change in this country simply cannot afford a third party vote to split the outcome of the election. If this happens, Bush WILL win. We need a strong candidate from the Democratic party around whom the PEOPLE can rally... all of us who feel disenfranchised, lost, afraid. You are uniquely qualified to fill this mission. General Clark, YOU are the ONE possible candidate I've seen who I think is capable of beating George Bush. And yes, that IS the priority for me: Get the Bush Administration OUT of the seat of power. This isn't about partisan politics or any other such nonsense. This is about reality... survival as a country... as a people. We NEED you. I'm hoping with all my heart that you will decide to become our champion.

(2) those who indentify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe. Have confidence in us General, we will safely vote you into office, trusting your honesty and integrity to do so. Please announce your candicacy so we can all have hope in our future government.

I believe that you are a man of honor and integrity, and have the experience our country needs to provide leadership at this crucial time. President Bush misled us as to the reason it was necessary to go into Iraq; and then when we did so, we did not go in with enough ground troops to secure the country after bringing down the Saddam Hussein regime. Today, there still aren't enough troops to provide security. Soldiers are being killed and wounded every day, the U.N. compound and a mosque were bombed, and infrastructure is being sabotaged. There are more terrorists in Iraq now than prior to our entry. More troops must be sent to Iraq to stabilize the country. Economically, President Bush inherited a trillion dollar surplus from the Clinton administration and has turned it into several trillion dollars of deficit. He is anti-environment, pro big business, and has given large tax cuts to the top 2% wealthiest among us. I hope that you decide to run for President, and if so, you will have my support.

Dear General Clark, I must confess that I have contributed to the legacy of voter apathy in America -- partly because, as a scientist, I've always insisted on having as much information as possible before making a decision. (By which time the deliberations are usually over.) Perhaps, since our democracy is representative, one must simply evaluate as best one can and have faith that the person one chooses will look after the collective interest. In the political wasteland following the 2000 elections, I can't honestly say that the available choices have inspired that kind of faith. Since I get my news from NPR and not CNN, I had never heard of you until I found draftwesleyclark.com linked in from the New Republic. Since then I have followed your campaign more closely, and I can say with some considerable relief that you are not only better for the job than everyone else (including, and especially, George W. Bush), but seem actually to be a *good* man for the job, and may provide a rare opportunity here for us to have a true statesman and public servant, rather than a career politician, in the office of President of the United States. Your opinions are well-informed and well-reasoned; you show a clear understanding of, and reverence for, the values of a liberal democracy; you have the courage to speak your mind and the fortitude to follow things through even when they get tough. I know there are many people who were reluctant to vote for third-party candidates, especially Nader in 2000, because they felt as though they were "throwing their vote away". That depends only on the question of the purpose of voting: Is it to control the inevitable and escalating damage wrought by the political establishment, or is it to express one's support for who one feels to actually be the best man for the job? I am of the latter persuasion and I look forward to seeing your name on the ballot when I vote in the 2004 election. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear Sir: I am a 21-year-old philosophy and political science major from an urban university in Atlanta. I have followed with much hope your career, and watched with disgust the slide of this nation into a state of compromised civil liberties and militant defiance on an international stage. The current administration lacks logic, they lack sense, and they lack compassion. They have used a period of national distress to cement their ideology in the minds of a terrified people, and to promote an agenda that makes opposition to their views "unpatriotic" and almost criminal. We as a nation need a new administration, one that will show compassion towards this nation's weak, its poor, its elderly. There is an entire people waiting in the shadows, terrified for the threat of intense poverty and praying for relief from their perpetual shame. Enter an educated man, a patriotic man, who, with a staff like you're sure to assume is set to lead the masses to a new day of peace and understanding. You have the ability to draw the line and make the stand against this current administration and restore your people. A nation prays for your guidance every night, and every night another child goes hungry and another worried man wonders where he'll find work. General, sir, with all the respect my mind may muster, I beg for you to assume the mantle of this distrought party of opposition, and guide your nation back from these reckless times of discontent and distress. You answered your nation's call during her dark hours before. Pray, answer her again, sir.

I must confess that my heart is with Dennis Kucinich, but I realize that there are so many in the country who'll be opposed to him. I think that you are decent man and you'll do a good job. I appreciated your comments on Real Time with Bill Maher when you reminded the viewers that America was founded on the priciples of the Enlightenment and we are, in principle, a liberal democracy. I want to may father to hear that comment from someone like you. Many Americans need a civics lesson and, above all, enlightened leadership. PLEASE RUN!!! Tien Claudio Washington, DC

Dear General Clark, I am a far left progressive Democrat. I have spent almost all of my adult life working, every day, for organizations and causes that can make the world a healthier, more sustainable, more democratic and less violent place. I do this because it has become an expression of who I am and what I believe in and despite so much cause for despair in today's world, I can't imagine living any other way. From what I've read, I sense the same genuine interest and passion in you to help others and create a world governed by compassion, intellegence and human decency. I urge you to join the race for president and to run a strong honest campaign that uses the best strategic wisdom available but maintains a moral compass and eschews "political packaging." I want to learn more about your views but feel that your presence in the race could significantly improve the future of our country and the world. Sincerely, Marcus Renner P.S. I feel this election is so important that for the first time in my life I am very likely to volunteer to assist the Democratic candidate in the general election.

Dear General Clark: Times seem very dark for our country, and I believe that, among all possible contenders for the presidency, you are the best man to draw us out into the light. While I am currently a Howard Dean supporter, I would relish the opportunity to have some choice in this election. I support Dean because I think he's an honest man who fights for his beliefs. But I see the same in you. And what I also see is a candidate who served in the military, who is from the South, who can attract the full support of the Party. You are a candidate who can actually get elected. You are the one the Republicans fear; I wonder if, when Bush dreams (since he sleeps so much), he has nightmares about you. I implore you to run. By all accounts, it appears that you'll do so. It won't be easy to draw away all of Dean's supporters, but, speaking as one myself, I can tell you that most support him because they feel fervently that Bush needs to go, not because Dean is the only candidate they'd give $50 to. Fight your darndest and see what happens. How often will this kind of opportunity come along? Save the world and get to be President too! Warmest Wishes to you, Andrew Solomon New York, NY

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. General Clark, your are that man. I was reading a article the day in the local paper, in which Tom Dalay, House Majority Leader, called you a "blow-dried Napoleon"...excuse me, but from what dung heap did this simple bastard fly in from ?? I look at your public record, and compare it to his, hands down, you ablosutely win!! General Clark, with your excepional character, intelligence,and leadership, you WOULD make a difference. Tom Delay, as I see it, is just a lawmaker who "rupper stamps" Dumbya's agenda...so think of him as a pesky fly...all he does is eat dung, and bother people, Mr. "I'am the federal government"..is just another overbearing, arrogant nobody...just flick your hand, and shoo that little prick away to the dung hill he came from!! Thank you for your time...

Sir, from one serviceman to another, please run for President. After having serviced our great nation for over five years, I've recognized one thing, we are in need of a new Commander-in-Chief. A person who is experienced and knows what it is like to serve. A man who understands the sacrifice and won't place his men in unnecessary harm or provoke attack. I support you and your stance on the issues. Please run Sir, please run.

Dear General Clark, We cannot continue to allow George W. Bush to arrogantly bankrupt our country. We cannot allow him to institute an energy policy designed by Dick Cheney, his friends at Enron, and other morally corrupt energy companies. We cannot afford to continue to permanently lose our good paying jobs to offshore workers who receive one tenth of our salaries. We need you sir because we believe you are an intelligent, reasonable, patriotic, fair, and honest man who is a born leader. We believe your training, education, and experience is of a unique quality that makes you eminently qualified to be at our country's helm. There is no other Democrat with your outstanding credentials. We believe you could easily help restore good relations with our European allies and bring common sense back to our government. You sir may well be our last hope to get that irresponsible idiot out of the White House. We implore you sir to run for President. Your country needs and will support you. Mel & Nancy Lea Weisberg

General Clark, George Bush began as a bad joke. Now that he has compromised the greater safety and stability of our nation and the world, he has become a sick joke. General Clark, your experiences, education, and accomplishments leave nothing of substance for G.W. Bush to counter with in a presidential race. Not only would you restore legitamacy, intelligence, and honor to the office, but, more importantly, to the United States of America. General Clark, as a father, a husband, and a citizen of not only the United States, but of a world of interdependent nations and peoples, YOU MUST RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY. Sincerely, Steven Henley

There was a cartoon in this morning's King County Journal/American with a helicopter carrying the General over a Democratic Debate group and they are shouting up to the chopper saying, "We can't hear you", and "Make up your mind, Wesley....or buzz off!"

Sir It is difficult for me to adaquately express how deeply I have been moved by the prospect of you becoming my President. When I was in College in 1968 I oppoosed the Viet Nam War, but never our troops who were over there fighting it. None the less, since I believed the Viet Nam war was a tragic mistake, I could not remain silent regarding it. War is such a brutally blunt endeavor, and innocent lives are always sacrificed during it. War must never be cause for a smirking attitude. The valor shown by those who fight it, risking their lives in the process, is worthy of the highest honor, but that honor should never be sullied, or their courage squandered, by reckless commanders or less than noble causes. Above all else, that sacrifices should never be called for unless events dictate that no other course is tenable. Throughout the years since Viet Nam, many of my friends and associates simply concluded that I am Anti-War and anti-military. They were wrong. I have dedicated my life to resolving conflicts, but I have never been a pacifist. Sir, I fully supported the war that you led as NATO Commander. I also believed we were unfortunately slow becomimg engaged in the Bosnia crisis. We as a nation do not have the resources nor the responsibility to right every wrong in todays world. Nonetheless, when the risk and burden to be shouldered is relatively light, and the evil to be confronted is vast and undermining of all of our most cherished values, America should not shirk from offering aid, military if necessary, to those who suffer horrific losses. For that reason I was saddened that the United States did not show more leadership in arranging an international military intervention to halt the genocide that occurred in Rwanda. War and Peace are such critical issues that it is absolutely essential that we as a people trust in our leadership as those decisions are weighed. No one can know the future. Some misjudgements and mistakes are unavoidable regardless of what course ultimately is chosen, but let these be honest errors, made by sincere leaders who struggle to do the right thing after listening to a broad array of opinions spoken in open debate. Our world is too complex to allow for ideological auto pilot solutions to be imposed upon it. Sir it pains me deeply that I do and can not place trust in our countries current political leadership. Although in most ways I can be characterized as a Liberal Democrat, I crossed party lines in 2002 (when I was living in California) to support John McCain in the Republican Party Primary. I would have been proud to have him as my President, depite our disagreement on a number of issues. I trusted in his integrity,in his understanding of democratic principles, and his willingness to fight to preserve the qualities that make America unique among nations, worthy of honor and respect throughout the world. I feel that way about you Sir also, except now the times are so much more dangerous, and our unity as a people is so much more crucial. I have listened to you on a number of occaisions, and always I am struck by the qualities that make you a natural rather than orchestrated leader. I do not believe any of the other Democratic party candidates can defeat George W. Bush in 2004, but I know you would. Even were another Democrat somehow to succeed in that task, they would not be as effective in leading our nation through these dangerous times. History and your career have converged General. You can be our voice in a troubled world, one that will be listened to with near universal respect. No one else is as well positioned as you to do that Sir. You can fill out your administration with many fine public servants skilled in the mechanics of governing. You will find talented men and women at all levels who can help you develop and fine tune domestic policies. Other candidates perhaps could do the same, but no one else is as prepared as you to step forward on the world stage, with the full confidence and backing of the American people, to repair and move beyond the ruptures that now seperate us from our Allies and so much of the world's population. General, should you become my President I may not agree with all your actions and priorities, but I will trust you. I will know that the explanations you provide for a course of action taken are the ones that inform your own judgement, and that your judgement is not one hastily reached. Sir, should you declare for the Presidency I will do everything in my power to help you achieve that essential victory, and I know I am far from alone in that crucial resolve.

Homeland Security is a bloated bureaucracy that won't make you and me one bit more secure – but it'll secure billions in federal boondoggles for connected corporations. It's been dubbed "a huge honey pot" for lobbyists – and one enthusiastic lobbyist representing such fat cat military contractors as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon bragged: "We're trying to help our clients avoid the land mines and find the gold mines in homeland security. I'm very bullish on this." There you have it – your security dollars at work. I'll just bet you feel much safer knowing that the Bush/Cheney REGIME is doling out those taxpayer dollars to all their corporate friends. This is CRIMINAL!! America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I am a retired Navy carrier pilot who is now an OSHA work place accident investigator in Washington state. I grew up in a democratic, blue collar family and was influenced by my military career to lean republican. After attending command and staff college at the Air university at Maxwell AFB, I read Plato's Republic and it brought me back to my democratic roots. The book addresses "The Myth of metals" and the ranking of the best types of governments. Plato said Socrates argument was to convey to the populus that everyone has either gold, silver or bronze in their veins and that the working class had the bronze. The ranking of types of governments went in decending order from the Ghandi type of leadership to a Timocracy, then to an Oligarchy then to a Democracy, then to a Tyranny. I believe that we are in effect currently an Oligarchy that only cares for those with gold and silver in their veins. You sir are the leader who can elevate us up into at least a timocracy and renew the support for the bulk of our citizens, those born with bronze in their veins. I would be honored to support you in your duty to run for President, and I would be honored to serve in your administration at the Department of Labor in OSHA looking out for those who have bronze in their veins. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Very respectfully, Cdr Eric Wiseman (RET USN)

You are the one person who can evict Bush from the White House. We need a President who can bring us back into the world community, so that together, we can find a solution to the perils and dangers we face from abroad and from the war that is being waged on democracy and the constitution from our own government. Millions of Americans are out of work and scared. These people he has deemed as irrelevant as Bush feels the UN is. The environment is irrelevant, selling jobs overseas is irrelevant, families losing their jobs and homes are irrelevant. Anything or anyone that gets in the way of corporate profits is irrelevant. This country is at a crossroads. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

Dear General Clark, Please run for the presidency. Your country needs you. Watching politics for 35 years, we have never known the country to be in such a critical situation. As historians who strive for objectivity and recognize the good and ill that can manifest in either party, we see this as the most dangerous time in our lives. We have never known leadership that has placed us in such risk. We have maintained for some time that we would support anyone who would get rid of Bush and his blight on America. For months we have felt that you were the person to achieve that goal. The more we see you, the more we find that your political positions are amazingly close to ours. We have many friends who are democrats, and it is surprising how many – from many locations on the political spectrum – say the same thing. You are striking a chord, and the time to strike is now. Please, please run. Your country needs you. Respectfully, Ron and Susan James

General Clark, You strike me as a very sharp guy. I've listened to you as you've provided on-air commentary about the war(s) we face and all manners of foreign affairs. I agree wholeheartedly with your publicly expressed views on the Iraq war. All of this reactive GOP sniping misses the mark. Bold opinions stated bluntly and upfront provide the measure of a man. You strike me as someone who thinks first before rushing in, which is clearly much different than many of the GOP "yahoos" now running this country, for whom raw ideology, pithy phrases and false black & white distinctions take precedence over any careful consideration of the contingencies and consequences of taking action. I clearly see great appeal in your candidacy. In these trying times, when voters are naturally reluctant to change presidential horses in the midst of a war, it will take someone of your great stature -- a decorated senior military general -- to capture the White House in 2004 and put this country back on the right and well-reasoned path. History is our guide. Generals Washington, Grant and Eisenhower all rose to President in the aftermath of tumultuous times of strife and fear. The events of 9-11, the collapse of faith in our high-tech economy, the massive corporate fraud of Enron and Worldcom, the power outages and voting disruptions of the past 4 years -- all these things have combined to set a dire, depressed mood in this country. But a general can see us through it. The alternative is for this country to be torn asunder by politicians and factions on both the left and on the right vying to exploit the fears and strife for their own political gain. The Bush administration is doing that now. The Democrats furthest left are guilty too. We need a moderate, respected, apolitical military leader to steward this country through hostile terrain. Therefore, if you choose to run, General Clark, I will support you. Sincerely.

General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. For those of us voters who have lost faith in our government to the point we truly believe our vote does not count, please run for president. Please restore our faith in this country that has shown itself wrestled to the ground by the current administration. Living in Texas, I know my vote for the presidency will automatically tally to Bush in the '04 campaign. I also know my vote will get you on the ballot, though. I have to leave it up to you to regain the power in this country that was blackmailed into the Bush Administration. As a mother, I personally need you to help my children's education that has suffered grievous harm from Bush's educational policies. As a voter, I need you to show me, and those like myself, there is someone out there worth voting for. Your credentials speak volumes. Please gain the presidency so the American people can have faith in their leadership again, and not feel the need to cower beneath a most dictatorship-like administration. We need someone who will listen to us, the voters, the people, and not special interests who are now pulling the puppet strings of our current 'President'. I am considered Middle-Class, that doesn't mean anything but more money from us to our current leader. I truly feel you would be able to keep all classes in mind, not just your own. Simply put, we need you now more than ever. I was born under the Carter administration, and watched my mother suffer under Reagan and his 'Reaganomics'. Now I'm in her shoes, suffering under the Bush administration and his 'Bushonomics'. Never in my life have I seen the rich get richer and the poor so much poorer. Not in this country. There are a lot of voters in this country just waiting for the opportunity to make their vote count, rallying behind you and your experience. We need you. I will do my part to get you where we need you to be and I look forward to hearing the announcement of you as our Democratic Candidate for the 2004 election.

After reading about you, and your positions on various websites througout the 'net, I now agree with Michael in saying that you would be a valuable asset to this country as president, and I think that you should wholeheartedly consider Michael's endorsement, my own, as well as the other 10,000 who have sent you this same letter.

Dear General Clark, I am a liberal Democrat from Berkeley, California but am encouraging you to run for president. Your integrity, courage, intelligence and honesty is an inspiration to an entire spectrum of political perspectives. As a commentator on CNN I watched and listened as you distinguished yourself eloquently from the pack with your nuanced and thoughtful analysis. Though it's early and I haven't made a final decision on whom to support, your presence will add immeasureably to the debate. My knee-jerk friends glare at me skeptically when I say I support your entrance. I say, get to know the man first before making a judgement. I've respected you since Kosovo/Bosnia/Clinton. I respect you even more since Iraq. PLEASE RUN! The country is in desperate need of your voice and experience! Sincerely, Heather Fong Berkeley, California

General Clark, I am a graduate student in Ohio who is completely disenchanted with this entire country. I am tired of the lies the government is passing as truths. I am tired of the destruction of the environment in the name of capitalism. I am tired of the rift that this government is causing between us and the rest of the world. Most of all I am tired of the same politicians, both democrat and republican, who are either too afraid to stand up and say what they really think or too ignorant to have an opinion of their own. I am so tired that I am considering leaving this country in the near future and I love my country. I have heard much about you from many sources: Michael Moore, Bill Maher, people I work with and through my own research. I believe that you have something to offer this country. I implore you to throw your hat into the ring, so to speak, and take on President Bush. Your opinions, the opinions of someone not afraid to say what he thinks, need to be heard. It is strong leaders like yourself that are highly lacking in this country and I believe you could give Bush a run for his money. If you were to run, or at least to consider running, some of my faith in this country might be restored. I am very encouraged to know that there are people like you still in this country and I hope you will seriously consider this plea. I thank you for your time. Sincerely, Kelly F.

July 1962 Beast Barracks I left after our yearling year. You didn't. You "stuck it out." I got a Regular Army commission out of ROTC and was "in country" by the time most of the Class of '66 had already rotated out. Again, I didn't "stick it out" and left active duty, went to law school, and now, out of nowhere, I ask you to, once again, "stick it out" but this time in a differenct sense: Stick your neck out and run for President. This country does need men like you. Now. Paul Lync (ex)C66463

Last week I heard you speak on "The Connection" (WBUR, Boston) and was moved to tears by the prospect of your running for President. Since then I've been talking about you with friends and colleagues, and am ready to make a campaign contribution right now. Please save us from another dangerous four years of a Bush administration. Putting America on the right course in the world-- not an egocentric, bullying course-- could give everyone on the planet a vision of hope.

I just sent my letter to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette to those who actually have the gall, and I do mean gall to question your patriotism. You have served your country more honorably than the current cast of characters currently in the White House. Unfortunately this seems to be the "State of the Union", which is why I believe you should run for president. We live in a time when anyone's patriotism can be called into question, even someone like yourself who has proven his patriotism over and over again by your honorable service to your country. I have always believed that you will run for president, my gut level instinct tells me that this is so and that I will hear an affirmative on this on Sept 19th in Iowa. The real challenge begins from that point forward; you along with your new troops (us) will begin the battle of our lifetime. You will be vilified and driven through the dirt by these so-called bearers of freedom and truth. The Bush family has risen through the ranks of politics on nothing but hatred, lies and deceit. The Grandfather Prescott Bush had his assets seized by the government under the trading with the enemy act for laundering Nazi money as well as selling steel to the Nazi's that was then used against American soldiers by the Nazi's. He then was elected Senator for the state of Maine, how does this happen? This story is very well documented at the following link http://www.bartcop.com/421102.htm How do you convince a public where 70% of the people actually believe Sadaam had something to do with 911? I know it will be a difficult battle but it is one that must be waged.

We need energy independence, solvency, and a clear sense of when to commit ourselves to a struggle. War is not optional, it is a last resort. America needs you to run for president, to serve your country yet again!!! We are with you. We need you. Working together constructively, great things are possible. Sincerely, James J. Lang

General Clark, with your avalanche of support by REAL patriotic Americans not wishing to see more of our civil rights vanquished by this arrogant figurehead, you should enter this race and save our great nation from more mistakes. You will have the majority behind you as our forefathers had envisioned, and these radicals that stole the last election and threaten our democracy will crawl back under the rock they came from. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, I have never actively endorsed a political candidate in my 54 years of life, but when I heard that you were considering entering the Presidential race, I knew it was time to take a stand. You are the kind of leader this country needs - one with brilliance, commitment, courage, discipline, eloquence and integrity. Coupled with your exemplary academic achievement, military career and international diplomatic adroitness, you are the only candidate, in my opinion, who will be able to oust President Bush. These United States of America cannot afford another 4 years of George Bush's policies. At the same time we don't need just a Democrat in office - We need a Democrat who is a LEADER, and one capable of inspiring all of us to do our part to get our country back on track. That leader is YOU, General Clark - Please do us the honor of declaring your candidacy for President. I pledge that if you do, I will do my part to support that effort. Best regards, Kim Marshall Santa Rosa, California

We need and want you, General! It is amazing how the "infidel" now in office and his gang of mentors hi-jacked the presidency. Four years is enough, look at all the damage that has been done throughout the world by Cheney, Wolvowitz, Rumsfield & Perl. They didn't fight the war to save us from Saddam, but for Kellogg, Brown & Root, aka: - and ofcourse, on behalf of Israel. As you know yourself, 9/11 would not have happened if it weren't for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians. You are the only credible challenger and as such it is your responsibility to serve your country one more time, Please, don't wait any longer! We need your voice and strengths for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Ease up on the Bush bashing and tell us in specific terms how you will run the country. That will separate you from the other presidential contenders.

General Clark, Not knowing why you were summarily dismissed as NATO commander, it could be a feather in your cap that you had the gaul to argue with Bill and the Pentagon. But I saw you on Russert's show 3 or 4 months ago when your potential as a candidate was but a rumor and I was very impressed. The important difference between you and Dean, especially, is that you do not appear to be as egotisitically motivated as he. You exhibit the fierce integrity of John McCain but with a much more compassionate perspective on the rest of the world. If my short words of enthusiasm have any effect at all in this so very convenient cybernetic world, they will be to encourage your entrance into this "mother of all elections". Yours truly, Tom Fisher

To some degree the world's resentment is centered on the person of President George W. Bush, who is seen by many, at best, as an ineffective spokesman for American interests and, at worst, as a "gunslinging cowboy" knocking over international treaties and bent on controlling the world's oil, if not the entire world.

Dear General Clark, I am an American living and working in Canada in the film industry. Up here they see the world from a broader point of view. We watch not only the US news but also the CBC and the BBC. The climate is less partisan and less biased. I have seen you on CNN several times as a commentator and once as a potential candidate. In my personal and professional opinion you are by far the most mediagenic and media-savvy candidate in the field. I am also highly impressed by your intelligence, poise, dry sense of humor, clarity of thought and strength of character. I believe that the Kosovo campaign, which you commanded, was the most humane, effective and efficient military operation of modern times. I think your work in NATO demonstrates that you know how to nurture vital alliances. I think the world is entering an extremely dangerous phase of history and that we need a leader who is brilliant, charming and sober. In short, I wholeheartedly support your campaign for the presidency. I pledge to work for you, to sign up my friends, and to help you raise money. There is a large ex-pat community up here. Thank you for running. Daniel Conrad Filmmaker

I have sent an e-mail to the Arkansas newspaper supporting you, as I am sure many others have. This is probably an opening salvo from the slimy Bush group. But it is so ludicrous to impugn your "patriotism" that I wouldn't pay much attention to it. Anyone who would believe such muck is too stupid to make their way to a voting booth on election day, much less cast a ballot. I saw Bush on the news last night awarding some honor on a unit that had lost soldiers in Iraq--a noble idea, but he is such a MEDIA WHORE--so politically motivated. A Karl Rove idea, no doubt. Then he stumbled saying 9/11 was 2 1/2 years ago...uh, 2 years ago...uh, YESTERDAY! Yeah, that's it! His teleprompter must have failed. I looked at those poor soldiers behind him, having to listen respectfully, and imagined them thinking "What a schmuck!" General Clark, you will be such a fine president, so intelligent, so well-spoken, so calm--and you have indeed "walked the walk" unlike some presidents I can think of.

Now the administration plans to request another $2.1 billion for the Iraqi OIL industry (Halliburton). A little more than half would go to repairs and security because of increased sabotage. A little less than half would go to buying petroleum products to ensure some reserve margin, so that the Iraqi people have a safe supply of oil if future disruptions of service occur. This is preposterous!! The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers doesn't even know this is going on, much like the American population. Why in the world would the American taxpayers be paying to IMPORT OIL into an oil-rich country like Iraq to ensure some reserve margin. Does Bush/Cheney think we are that stupid?? Why not just keep the 800,000 barrels a day that is now being pumped, inside the country, and forget about exporting right now?? Then when the reserves are met for the Iraqi people, maybe then they can start exporting the oil to make Halliburton and the Bush/Cheney OIL mongers happier at the expense of U.S. taxpayers! When will the American people WAKE UP and smell the coffee?? Iraq, which has the third-largest oil reserves in the world, after Saudi Arabia and Canada, has been importing petroleum products since late May. We really need to give this corrupt administration their walking papers, if not jail time for these fraudulent practices. First we hear Cheney wanting to hide the workings of the "Secret Cheney Energy Task Force," so he can subsidize the fossil fuel companies, and now they want to subsidize the Iraqi oil production. We really need a regime change right here in America!! America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

General Clark, Please run for Presdient... in this country we have history repeating. "I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." - Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), quoted in Jack London's "The Iron Heel" We have reached a critical time in our country for a new leader to step forth and provide the guidance this great country needs. 9/11 changed the world many of us live in, and I believe that it has changed the face of what politics is about as well. We need someone who understands the meaning of war, conflict and the value of peace. You have given alot to this country and you are a true American hero and Patriot! Please take the final step for you country and run for president... our way of life may depend on it. Sincerely John Fisher Severn Maryland

I feel as if nobody is thinking clearly. I am asking you to run for President of the United States. I will work to get you elected if you do. J. Sassi General Clark, America needs you.

Every American deserves a safe, clean, and affordable energy future. Fortunately, the technologies exist to get us there. But the Bush Administration and Congressional leadership are taking us down the wrong path with a destructive, expensive, and polluting energy bill, now in conference committee. Much of the bill stems from the Bush Administration's Energy Task Force plan. It's time for the Bush Administration to stop delaying and fess up to their secret dealings with energy industry. Given that the Congress is currently debating the energy bill, it's more important than ever that Americans know who's deciding their energy future. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Hello Sir, We need a president who has leadership ability. This quality which you have earned through many years of practical training and internal motivation more than qualifies you for president. I am really embarassed by Bush and what he stands for muck in the same way that I didnt care for Clinton. What happened to reasonable people? Why dont you give it a shot. If you dont get it this time you will in four more, not that I can endure Bush for that long. Take care sir JE

I'm a member of the reform party and although we disagree on many issues that will affect us personally I'm just looking for someone who's willing to make the right decisions economically and militarily. Tax cuts that create huge deficits, war on the cheap how can I support this. I encourage you to run because I don't want the presidency to turn into " the guy with the biggest bucks and best campaign team". I want the most qualified candidate. I like John McCain but he won't stop playing politics. I don't want candidates that have been hand picked by either the Democratic or Republican parties.

Dear General Clark: "Anyone but Bush" is a pretty negative way to think. I haven't had much other way of thinking, up to this point. The path followed by the Bush administration, month after month, compels the country to find another, better way. Bush at Mid-Term, in the current Foreign Affairs, presents a series of articles that, collectively, tell us that we're headed for increasing trouble unless we change. I know that there are many others among the 280 million who have the capacity to lead, to guide, to listen, to decide in the interest of all Americns, not just a few. I am thrilled with the idea that you might be that person. I hope that you decide to take the step. The downhill slide of the current administration suggests that it is vulnerable. If not now, when? If not you, who? With regards and much encouragement, sir. Jefferson Freeman

As someone that came to America years ago trying to make an honest living in this wonderful land, that used to be an oasis of democracy and freedom of speech, I have to say General that you are the only hope for the future of all of us, that at birth or by choice became residents of the USA. I wasn't born here and now I see with infinite sadness that "being a foreigner" is presented as a crime by the current Republican administration. Many of my friends are afraid of speaking in public against Mr. Bush and his policies. We don't want to be arrested by the FBI for it. People lives in constant fear and that's un-American. Gives back peace and hope. Help us to rebuild the trust that the world had on the USA before Bush took office. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

You were interviewed several months ago by Aaron Brown. I remember you stating that you felt you 'still could provide service to the country' (or words to that effect). I am one of the people that are asking you to announce your candidacy. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Both public opinion polls and the voting results in recent elections show that a majority of the American people favor a moderate approach to matters of public policy. The current candidates either aren't reaching out to these voters are don't have the political backing to make a successful campaign. You will appeal to this majority. We are looking for a leader who will lead a nation of free citizens, not a ruler who only looks out for the interests of people like him and dismisses the hopes and concerns of those he considers beneath him. I've listened and observed as you have spoken over the past several months. I've read your book "Waging Modern War". Your record of service speaks for itself. You understand that a leader must be willing to make sacrifices of himself before he demands sacrifices of those beneath him. Please run for President. With your leadership, America can again be a shining example for the rest of the world, not a bully to be feared.

Dear General Clark, In reading about your accomplishments and views I have been inspired to write urging you to please run for the presidency. I have been a supporter of Dennis Kucinich, and it has seemed quite a leap for me to consider supporting your candidacy. But maybe not so much of a leap. My impression is that you are a leader with integrity and vision. I would like to hear you speak to the nation as a candidate. I think you may be able to rally the kind of support and provide the kind of leadership that would oust the current occupants of the White House and set our nation on a course of healing within our borders and within the world community. Please throw in your hat!

Dean is political baggage on anyone’s ticket and will be made collateral damage by Carl Rove Inc. What's with all this Ralph Nader crap and endless quotations by other retired Generals with chips on there shoulders? Last I checked this was about the Nomination and not the Election. All you care about is shoveling your own self-interests down the throats of America just as The Bush Boys are doing. SO STOP TRYING TO BRING THE GENERAL INTO THE FAR-LEFT BLACK HOLE YOU CALL HOWARD DEAN. GENERAL PLEASE MAKE AN EARLY SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT AND SILENCE THEM ALL.

Dear General Clark: I have been very unsettled as I watch our soldiers sacrificed on a daily basis with no idea when or how this horrible mess in Iraq will come to an end. I have become angry with the constant refrain of the republican party that if one questions the Commander in Chief, they are unpatriotic. Yet, I have not found a candidate who I felt shared my hopes and dreams for this country until now. I watched you on the Joe Scarborough show Sept. 11 and when you said that you wore the uniform for those whose express dissent with the administration as well as everyone else-I knew I had the candidate I had been looking for. You see General Clark, that is why I wore the uniform too! I cannot urge you strongly enough to PLEASE run for President! I will support you in anyway I can and together we can put this country back on the right track. Please sir, my grandchildren need your help. Most sincerely, Margie Gillison

At the same time, he has governed during a time in which our economy has remained stagnant and budget deficits have soared. I think you would excel in the role of Commander-in-Chief and would support economic policy that would better balance the interests of employers, employees, and the environment. I urge you to run for president and look forward to working here in Texas to see that you are our next president. Take care and may God bless you as you contemplate your decision on running for president.

I need to know: Had you been in the White House at 9/11/2001, would you have decided to keep the Taliban intact and sent Colin Powell to negotiate and plead with Mullah Omar, the leader of Afghanistan and the Taliban party to hand over Usama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda group in exchange for concessions? Do you believe the Taliban would have complied with the requests of your diplomacy?

General Clark, With a war now being fought on Iraqi soil and young American lives being lost almost daily, the current administration is showing no signs of getting a handle on the situation. Though I believe that Saddam Hussein is a despot, I also believe the reason we went there had little to do with the Iraqi people. There are many documents available that indicate that the inner-circle in the Bush administration had designs on this occupation long before there stated sudden interest post September 11, 2001. They have used the WTC attacks as a basis to advance many of their agenda items in shameless fashion. I believe that there are times that dictate a military response, but we rushed into this one and have caused a lot of needless death and destruction. I know we can't leave now, but with can make this an international effort with some concessions. I also think that we are being taken down a dangerous isolationist path and have caused much damage internationally. We are now providing a forest for the fire for the terrorists. We are at a critical point in history. I believe you are the person we need at this critical time. You may be the only person who can defeat George Bush, and it is imperative that he is defeated. If you run I will support you fully and volunteer in this area. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Bruce Harris

General Clark, I sincerely urge you not to run for the office of the presidency of the United States. I urge you not for selfish reasons, but more so because I believe that Howard Dean is the best choice to run against President Bush. I beleive that Dean is the catalyst necessary to jump start the anti-Bush movement. Rather than further fragment the democratic base, I would rather you endorse Howard Dean. I go so far as to say that you would be an excellent v.p. candidate; and I offer that being VP would be an excellent stepping stone to showcase your budding political savy. I could be wrong, but I think Washington is a lot different than what you are used to. In the end you will do what you feel is right, and America could not be faulted for having elected Wesley Clark. Just consider the momentum a Dean/Clark ticket would have; building on Dean's established base and your more "centrist" appeal. TLJ

Please run. I saw you on Bill Maher's show, and what a surprise. Where have you been? You are everything Bush pretends to be. For some reason Americans are willing to back him because they think he's the best man available. What a sorry state of affairs we are in. You're presence on the national stage will show Bush for what he is: a faux leader, a man who is wildly out of touch with the political realities of a very complex world. The good name of America has been destroyed by this president. With someone like you at the helm, I think our good name around the world could be restored. It wouldn't be easy, but I think you're the one who could restore it more efficiently than anyone else. Right now I'm a Dean backer because so far he's the only one saying what I think needs to be said. But if you prove to be a stronger candidate, I'm on the side Bill Maher's mother!

Dear General Clark: Though I doubt much you remember the occassion, it is etched in my mind forever. On or about the 14th of June, 2001, you and I had a brief encounter at a barbeque being held at the residence of the then General in charge of the War College in Carlisle, PA. It was the week of graduation and a number of civilians had been invited to participate in the last week of seminaring just prior to the officer's graduation. I was an honored guest of the College during that week and had spent and intense week in discussion and analysis of the changing role of the military and what its future missions might be. I was kindly introduced to you by General Robert Ivany and we spoke for maybe 15 or 20 minutes...some about the place for technology in the armed services (GIS in particular), but further on the possibilities of the US presence in a number of theaters simultaneously, and still yet more on the threat to the Homeland. This all, of course, just prior to September 11, 2001. Upon my return to my civilian life, I reflected often on our chance meeting, and in telling of my encounter to others, I remembered always how much it meant to me that you spent those few moments talking to me...no one of great import, but not withstanding my annonymity, you were most cordial and attentative. As I read of your current analysis of whether you should run for president or not, it occurs to me that the very thought of your candidacy gives me great hope and optimism that there IS a man who I can wholly support and who I truly believe is capable of leading this country away from the brink it is currently poised upon under the policies of the current administration. That of unbridled unilateralism at the cost of our honor and stature overseas, and a growing view that we are interested ONLY in our own hegememous interests and care not what the rest of our once friends and allies think. In the growing global community this is not only a policy of fractionation, but also one of pure and unadulterated egoism by our leadership. As I look at the current leadership, those who are throwing their proverbial hats in the coming presidential arena, and then pause to consider what you would bring to a candidacy for president, I can only revel in the intelligence, the experience and the poise which you would bring to the white house as president. It has always been of great concern to me that we have a current leader who I cannot respect, whose intellect I find sorely lacking, and who has surrounded himself with a group of very scary people. I am emplore you General Clark, to take up the challenge of running for President of the United States. It gives me great pleasure to consider a debate between you and Mr. Bush and what the outcome might be. I have no doubt that, to paraphrase Bill Clinton, he is no President Kennedy...not even close. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. My thoughts, my hopes, my desire...

General Clark, For all you have done for our country it is difficult to ask more of you and your family. Yet, the many sacrafices of you and your family have braught the hope of a leader worth following. You have gained the respect of the people under your command and the grattitude of the nation, the support of strangers and trust from all. The world is in turmoil, and although this is nothing new, the United States is on the front of change. We are the leaders with the world following in our footsteps, and the crossroads ahead present the survival or demise of humanity. Are we on the right path? If not, is there enough strength and courage left in the man who can lead us to our true aspirations. There is a point in every man's life when he has to question himself whether to choose "safety or uncertainty." Yet, not every man is faced with the question "what will become of the world if he does not stand to the challenge?" This is the time. This is your time! We the people of the United States and the people of the world look to you; we are in need of hope, and many believe it lies within you. Among the President and the many faces of the 2004 Candidacy do you believe that one will rise above the politics, above the propaganda? One who will lead his people ethicly, with integrity and without consequence. There was a dream that was America. Where all men would be created equal, and the pursuit of life, liberty, and justice for all echoed loudly through the world. General Clark, lead us into the future, pursue that dream, bring hope to the oppressed and the unfortunate, and strike fear into the hearts of evil men. Your country needs you!!!!!

America needs a new president and the world needs to see new American leadership. The Bush administration has boxed us into a dangerous corner with its arrogance and deceit. We are NOT safer today as a result of the disatrous invasion of Iraq. I've been interested in both Dean and Kerry, but said from the git-go that you're my man. Run Wesley run. You're the only one who can defeat Bush and go on to be a great president. I don't think the stakes have ever been this high, certainly not in my lifetime. Thank you, General Clark, I will work hard for your election. Susan Lenfestey

General Clark, I'm all for you running for President. I honestly can't think of a more qualified person than yourself. As a DoD civilian employee who abhors war and violence, I believe it's high time we have a commander-in-chief who will portray the image of the USA as something other than a self-serving, jingoistic oligarchy. With your leadership I'm positive we could actually have a Department of Defense again rather than the Department of Offense we've had for the last 20 years. Furthermore, you actually seem to have opinions on issues, progressive ones at that! In 2000 it was often hard to tell Gore and Bush apart (which was probably due to the fact that they were being controlled by the same corporate puppet strings). I can't tell you how refreshing it is to finally hear about a man of your tremendous stature who is not afraid to take a progressive stance on issues. The only thing left to say is, "please run for president!" thanks, Steve Paul

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I'm sure many people have been telling you this lately, and I will only be adding once more voice to the pile. But I think you can make a difference in the life of every American. You stand up for issues where our current President has been wrong and understand that our allies are not just mere tools to further our own demands that we can threaten into agreeing with us. You understand the value of life and the havoc war can wreak as only one who has been through it can. You have solid views, make decisions, and exude confidence every time I get the chance to hear you on the television. Wish you would do it more often! You don't blame mistakes on other people, accept responsibility, and show the true qualities that our commander in chief should have. You have the chance to change the image of the United States forever and bring us out of the dark days of our history. In your book on Modern War you spoke of entering a division and fixing it up far better than it was before, even those that were at their peaks. Our Government is in great need of fixing and you are just the Man..the leader..the General..the citizen to do it. I will be turning 18 just early enough to vote in the 2004 Election and I hope to see your name on the Ballot.

Please, please run for president. I saw you for the first time on Bill Maher's show and in thirty seconds felt committed to you after months of struggling with who of the other nine to commit to. Above all else you can beat Bush. That's the only thing that counts. Plus you have warmth and strength...a hard combination to convey...which means charisma.... to pull the American people behind you. You're foreign and military expertise is SO DESPARTELY NEEDED by the Democratic party. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark - This is the third time I have written to urge you to run for president. It is certain that your announcement will be made within days, and I feel that that you are willing to put yourself on the line one more time for the good of your country. That has brought a "premeptive" onslaught of venom directed towards you from the extermists who now have control of the White House. Please, do not be disheartened by the malevolence of those who fear your valor, patriotism, character, and vision. These are the same people who may have hoodwinked the presidential election of 2000, declared that Max Cleland was "unpatriotic" after he lost three limbs in Viet Nam, attempted to redistrict parts of Texas for maximum Republican benefit, and are now attempting to recall a democratically elected governor in California. General Clark, these are the very people who have eviscerated the very principles on which this country was founded. If ever there was proof that a man of your caliber was needed, this is it. We need you to save our country from these malicious zealots.

You are knowledgeable, experienced and a proven leader of high integrity. You are so far superior to the clueless clown presently in office that it it would be laughable were it not for the fact that our counrty is in deep trouble and continues to be headed in the wrong direction. Both domestically and in foriegn relations, this administration has been a disaster. We really need you, General. Please run for president. You can win easily.

Dear General Clark, I live in New York City and work but a Tiger Woods' drive from Ground Zero. I DO believe that homeland security is the most vital issue facing the United States today. But our nation is not secure. Aggression and belligerence do not spell security. The war on terrorism is certainly necessary and extending the military might of the United States in order to further our interests and values is in the interest of our nation and the world. Yet it is the way in which the war is being conducted and the way in which the Bush administration is dancing around the truth which concerns me. I have intelligent friends who believe that Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attacks, yet try as I might, I find that it is the current administration that continues to deny that they are making that implication and then turns around saying that the fall of Saddam is somehow linked to the goal of abolishing Al Qaeda. I work with a bright guy who says the following: That if we assume that our President lied about WMD and Iraqi links to Al Qaeda in order to convince the American people to support a war in Iraq, that the lies President Clinton told while in office relating to his relationship with Monica Lewinsky were more destructive and more heinous. And when I point out that no American kids died as a result of Clinton's untruths, he brushes it aside by implying that President Bush is a patriot and Bill Clinton is not, and that the deaths are a necessary cost of the war on terrorism. I do not understand the rationale that President Bush's supporters are using to proclaim his policies a success. I do not understand why people are not protesting his untruths and shady assertions and shouting their disapproval from the hilltops. I do not understand how Americans seem willing to swallow without question the freedoms that are being taken from their neighbors or from themselves. I could go on for hours about this. I have read as much about you as I could find online and I do not know whether or not you share my concerns, but I hope that you do run so that at least we have the opportunity to hear you articulate some of your own. This country is one to which I am fiercely loyal (although not blindly), and one of which I am desperate to be proud. General Clark, please help to turn the United States back into a country we can all be proud of. God Bless you. Thomas K. Bergreen

This country is in need of a leader who is astute enough to understand international relations, the complexities of global economics, the defense of our country and the needs of ordinary Americans.

When I consider all of the possible candidates for the next presidential election, I keep coming back to you. I believe you are a person who commands respect and possesses the intellect and leadership skills to lead us in an ever more complex world. General Clark, please run for president.

General Clark, Nothing -- NOTHING -- is as important to this country right now than getting the current occupant out of the White House. The incumbent, whose name I, patriotic American that I am, am embarrassed to pronounce, has done and is doing incalculable damage to the economy, the international standing, the military, the educational system, the civil rights, the very civility of this country I love so much. It is absolutely vital to the welfare of the country and of each and every one of its citizens that his tenure be limited to a single term. To date, no one contending for the Democratic nomination has shown any of the characteristics that would indicate any ability to beat the current President in the next election. Of the people whose names have been floated, only you, with your military standing, academic record, and unquestioned and obvious common sense, show promise as a possible candidate -- and, more importantly, as President, once elected. Please, General Clark, throw your hat in the ring. I know you've given many years of your life to your country, but she has this one last thing to ask of you. I know you can't refuse such a call.

Dear General Clark, I recently heard you outline the most coherent condemnation of Bush's Iraq policy that I've heard to date. My guess is that you and I wouldn't agree on every issue (I'm to the left of John Kerry), but I believe you are a man of intellect, integrity and vision. I also believe, from a purely pragmatic standpoint, that you are the only prospective candidate that can defeat President Bush. Thus, I strongly urge you to run.

General Clark, Please consider the list of items I would like our next President to work towards in the effort to rebuild what the Bush administration is destroying. Thank You, Dennis Pu Dallas, Texas - Please compromise with the United Nations to help get a true international coalition into Iraq, even if it means breaching contracts granted to American companies. Please consider mass infusion of food, water and medical aid and supplies first as work on infrastructure proceeds. Also consider organizing small, self-governing local communities before taking up a grand project such as building a nation-wide police system or Iraqi army. The US can still lead the rebuilding process, but I feel it can do so much more effectively with a true international coalition which involves heavy involvement of our traditional European allies. - Fund and support the 9/11 investigative panel. - Fund the SEC and find a decent chairman who is not prohibitively sympathetic to corporate interests. - Invite Billy Graham to remind the country what it truly means to be a Christian. Also invite Jewish and Islamic leaders as well as religious scholar Charles Kimball in order to try to determine a true solution to the Middle East. - Fire John Ashcroft. - Fire Michael Powell of the FCC. - Fire Newt Gingrich, or demote him to janitorial work in the Pentagon and the State Department. - Prosecute Karl Rove for exposing CIA agent Valerie Plame, wife of US ambassador Joseph Wilson. - Prosecute Donald Rumsfeld for leading us to war under false intelligence. - Fire George Tenet for incompetence. - Set up new and comprehensive standards defining and banning conflict of interest. - Support "Clean Elections". - Repeal all of Bush's "stimulative" tax cuts. - Get rid of any department secretaries who were appointed due to their connections and not their qualifications, like Elaine Chao of the Labor Department and the dunce heading the Department of Energy. - I do not know what laws John Poindexter, Paul Wolfowitz, or Richard Perle have broken, but I'd find out. - If Justices Scalia and Thomas can be recalled, please begin the process or tell us how. - Revoke the White House press passes of those who failed to ask even moderately tough questions - Assign Greg Palast and maybe Paul Krugman in top positions in the SEC or financial oversight committees. - Encourage funding of Pacifica Radio and Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. - Totally open the floodgates where it comes to education spending, and ban the ideological lefties and righties from diluting our textbooks and curriculums. - Strengthen the EPA and consider signing Kyoto. - Encourage and support alternate and renewable energy sources to help get us off of oil. (Not nuclear) - Require the World Bank and IMF be more equitable. - Tell the world what actually goes on in the WTO. - Allow generic drugs into Africa easier and stop making Americans pay uncapped drug prices, which the most of the rest of Western civilization seems to enjoy. - Disallow computerized voting machines. - Prosecute Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris for their interference in Florida's electoral system. - Set up Public Radio funding similar to the BBC. - Most of all, do what he can to encourage EVERYONE to get involved in politics. Healthy and tolerant discussion, inquiry and objection is the lifeblood of this nation! Dennis Pu Dallas, Texas

General Clark: I am Army until the day I die. S.F.Q.C. graduate (2-90) and have a college degree (B.S. with honors). I went into the business world only to find plastic leadership and phoney meaningless sentiment at every turn. Those responsible are now just cashing out and awaiting the next Depression or heading to Washington think tanks ( I hope to serve as examples as how not to do things) Our Government is a bunch of inert bureaucratic horseshit that has a maximum effective range of ZERO meters. I never imagined myself cynical but I am and with good reason. I really wanted to go back into the service but I thought Clinton was deliberately trying to kill our soldiers. Ref. that flake Aspin and his hair brain. They really wanted to destroy our sense of Pride, huh? Now this Bush guy trying to generate business the old fashioned way. hah! This Nation is going to hell and we need Leadership! (I'm sorry, has gone) Not some fake crap purchased at Yale and/or with blood money. A body of capable people who actually care about the people and OF THE PEOPLE that comprise this Nation. Not just themselves and their ilk. e.g. Clinton and Bush II. Do they want nationalisn or do they want fries with their burgers? because they can't have both. We seem to think national spirit can be applied to our bumpers. That is laughable!!! Where are those stickers made, anyway? hah! You and Howard Dean are coming up from the ranks! Emphasize that!!! What passes for intelligence and success in this country is just sickness..period. You have already earned this! GO forth and do it!!!!! andto thine own selves be true. Link up with Dean and save this once proud, sleeping Nation. Yours, Hogan

TO: General Wesley Clark Sir, During the past years and months living under the leadership of President Bush, I have many times been more than somewhat ashamed of my fellow Americans. The strongest reason for these feelings have been due to the fact that the state of discourse in our country has devolved into sniping that serves as an extremely divisive force, polarizing our country in a wash of intolerance I have never seen in my 31 years. Above all, it helps foster ignorance and strengthens ideological fundamentalism. I remember the consideration and spirit of cooperation that followed in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. I remember admiring the courage of the firefighters, iron workers, first responders and rescuers that converged at the World Trade Center, regardless of the hazards that undoubtedly greeted them in the smoke and flames. I remember the bandaged arms of all who donated blood. I remember feeling proud to see the country united as I saw the flag wave from nearly every house and car in my neighborhood. Even all drivers on Dallas highways were courteous! In the shadow of extreme tragedy that left me numb in the chest, I could not help but feel an extreme sensation of hope welling up from inside as I saw how Americans dealt with severest adversity and as I saw how televised town meetings from cities across America and Canada showed how everyday citizens shared the same feelings of vulnerablility. Broadcasts from the UK and the displaying of headlines from around the world made me feel like the planet was a much smaller, closer together community. I did not take the war on Afghanistan lightly, though I supported it strongly as a necessary evil that would preface a true rebuilding of the country in a way that would allow it's suffering people to blossom. It was not until the subject of Iraq arose that I felt a tide turning. I never felt Iraq was a terrorist nation or a threat to the US, or to any other country. Certainly Iraq was something to deal with, given the suffering of its people under the cruel dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. It was that suffering and the promises to rebuild the nation after the apparent successes in Afghanistan that nearly trumped my doubts for military action against Iraq, however I always thought the UN inspectors should have been granted more time, and I wish the UN was allowed to expand the mission to include humanitarian aid to the Iraqi people, all with the threat of military action to back it up. I realized not everyone shared this opinion. I believe that the deceptive actions taken by the Bush administration has divided the country. The coldly nationalistic rhetoric and the incessant implication that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11 made me distrust the President. It was sad to see the generalized and misleading rhetoric of the Bush administration prey on the fears of the American citizens as he gave his "Axis of Evil" speech. I realize now that the single weakness of our country is that of its cultural and geographic isolation. Nothing else explained to me the acceptance of unilateralism and the disregard for international law. More disturbing, I saw the idea spread that whatever happened to "them" didn't matter as long as "we" end up safe. "They" were ill- defined terrorists who lived abroad and domestically, and "they" frighteningly defined entire nations, races and religions. Shockingly, it also included any fellow Americans who did not express enough Patriotic nationalism or who dared even to question the President's policies. We can find enemies within any context. The enemy can be in the Middle East, the far reaches of Asia or within our own borders. If Cain can slay Abel, anyone can be a murderer to be fearful of. I, however, refuse to live in fear. I feel the invasion of Iraq was for the benefit of a selected few launched at the expense of human life and to the detriment of the country. I also feel those who blindly support the action through no reason of their own are cowards to be ashamed of. I feel our President promotes fear and misinformation and I feel his administration, specifically Donald Rumsfeld, condescendingly promotes self-censorship among people and the media. The lack of discourse and tolerant discussion is destroying America. The current method of debate is to conclude first and draw up favorable, if misleading, evidence later, sidestepping any comprehensive, dispassionate and fair look at the issues. With this method one can show how water is a danger to human life, because it eroded mountains to create the Grand Canyon, it hardens fine powder into cement, and it alone brought down the engineering marvel of the day, the Titanic. And yet we immerse newborn babies in it and drink it. Very few material things are absolutely knowable. Very few ideologies are absolutely disprovable. I feel this administration takes advantage of this ever-present lack of absolute truths to forge ideological loopholes fortified with generalities, assurances and half-truths. I feel that this administration uses the spectre of anti-Americanism to short-circuit debate, objections and inquiry. I cannot believe our country would be well-served by that mentality. I hope that you will honestly consider running against President Bush in 2004. I feel that with your credentials, you are exceedingly qualified to understand the importance of proper discourse and tolerant debate done in good faith. You understand what it is to serve your country. I realize you do not have much actual political experience, but, Sir, I would say that the current president has far too much. I feel we need a leader with your skills of problem-solving, organization, planning, and communication. If, for the next hundred years, no leader of this nation has any taste of or desire for political experience, I feel the entire planet could reach the full potential God designed it for. General Clark, you may not take the country there, but I hope you can lead us to step in that direction. Dennis Pu Dallas, Texas

I have seen you explain your positions more in the past few months then any other Democratic contender. I agree with all of your positions. Please run. Do not accept a number two slot. Select a John Edwards or a Kerry as your running mate. Up until reading of your interest in running all I thought of was how do we get GW Bush out of the White house. With you running we could do that and get another great Rhodes scholar into the White House. Make smart and liberal something to be proud of again. Please run.

Dear Gen. Clark, I am a student at Northwestern University (majors in Writing and East Asian studies) and I want to do whatever i can to convince you to run and, if you should decide to do so, to help in your campaign. As far as I can tell, there is no one else in the field of Democratic candidates that has as good a chance as you do to oust Mr. Bush. At a time when one of America's greatest concerns is the threat to our national security, many voters are going to opt for Bush over Kerry or Dean if only because they assume his hawkish bravado indicates military strength. Your resume as a general and NATO commander provides the assurance, which the other candidates can not provide, that America will be in the hands of a knowing and brave commander-in-chief and not a pinko hippie (please excuse the crudeness but let's face it, countless people will vote according to such logic). I'm sure that one factor which is delaying your candidacy is the thought you are giving to your family's best interest. But imagine how they would feel about four more years with George. Another factor may be the relative lack of finances you have to run your campaign. I don't have a whole lot of money but i will gladly give as much as i can if you should decide to run. Please, please do, and hurry. I am truly begging you. Let the people know that you are ready and they will embrace you. You can do it. Best, Michael Schlauch

General Clark, Having retired 6 years ago after spending twenty years proudly wearing the uniform of a United States Army soldier, sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, I can only state that this administration sickens me with their cavalier attitude towards using our young military men and women for their personal agendas and treading on our Constitution. General, you are the only viable candidate to get this President out of office. Only you can take him on when it comes to military and National Security issues. And I have one request: make our military men and women aware of how President Bush deserted during his stint in the Air National Guard. Show them he is not the "hero" he purports to be. I believe that if the men and women of our military realized just how Bush avoided the Vietnam War, but bravely yells, "Bring it on!" while he places their lives in jeopardy and ignores actual efforts to improve our national security, his support among the military and their families will evaporate like the world-wide goodwill that he squandered with his cowboy, go-it-alone attitude. Please Sir, America needs leadership that only a man of your character can provide. Run, and get this clown and his neo-con cronies out of office. Sincerely, John W. Mapes SFC, USA (Retired)

Dear General Clark, I know that it doesn't seem fair that we; the people of the United States, must ask of you, a man who has consistently worked to protect and serve his country, to once again step forward, but our beloved country needs you more now than ever before. The current administration is lurching blindly; from crisis to crisis, gutting what was once the most powerful economy in the world, shredding constitutional protections, and alienating long time US allies. You may be the only person who can lead this country out of this web of fear, fear mongering, and greed. I am simply a 41 year old man, trying hard to be a good husband, a good father, and a good citizen. I pay my taxes and try to pay my mortgage. In short, I am one of the nameless, faceless millions hoping against hope that one day we might be able to vote for the kind of president we've been promised since I was a small boy. I truly believe that you could and should be the President of the United States of America. Thank you.

General Clark. I am very encouraged to hear that you may be announcing your candidacy shortly. We need you. May I presume to suggest the one, who in my opinion, would be your ideal running mate. If you haven't already seen Senator Joseph Biden's recent speech to the National Press Club on last Tuesday (September 9th) please take a look at it. His is a voice of reason. He is an eloquent spokesman for those who are opposed to the Bush agenda as he proves most every week on the most thoughtful television news shows. He has the respect of his peers and of the whole international community. I feel that you would find common cause with him and together could provide the Democratic Party and the nation with the leadership we now need so desperately need. God bless you and your candidacy.

General Clark: Contrary to most opinions, all military officers do not support the Republican agenda. I definitely do not support the Bush administration--one that definitely is not a friend of the military (rather it be active, guard or reserve). I would be proud to volunteer my services to your campaign for President of the United States. I can think of no other candidate that is more qualified or able to beat the present occupant of that office--in my opinion, one of the most unqualified to ever sit in the oval office. Please accept the draft, and accept my sincere offer to work on your behalf. Bobby E. Walls Major General USAF, Retired.

General Clark, please allow me to thank you for your dedicated service to our country. I greatly enjoyed your recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher. Like you, I want this country to get back to the "open, transparent goverment" and "liberal democracy" that the founding fathers intended it to be. I believe that the current administration is leading us in the opposite direction. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. I believe that you can lead our country out of the current situation to a much better, more secure future. I believe you can beat George Bush in 2004. Please, please, please run for president. You have my support and my vote, sir!!

Dear General Clark, I read a quote from you that (I will paraphrase) “democracy fails with out dialogue”. General, you are absolutely dead on target! I am disgusted by the current culture that slanders my patriotism and morality because I fulfill my responsibility to demand information and answers from our leaders and I disagree with policies. The moral elitists and jingoistic patriots of the extreme right are harming our country. I served in the US Army and Texas National Guard from 1984 to 1990 to defend our constitution and our way of life. That way of life has never felt more threatened to me and it is not because of foreign enemies, it is because of this administration. Sir, I promise to volunteer my money and time to support your candidacy. Our country, my community, and my family need you! Sir, you will honor us all to take up the banner of liberty, freedom and security for our country! I stand ready to assist! Please join the fight and become a candidate for President of our United States! Sincerely, Steve Lumpkin Higley, Arizona

General Clark, simply speaking, you are the only man capable of conclusively beating President Bush. You beat him on all the categories he has successfully run on-- integrity, personal honor, a lack of equivocation, and a distance from insider Washington politics. At the same time, you are more knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to foreign policy, and you have the intelligence the current Administration lacks on the domestic side. Ultimately, however, I feel that you, General Clark, are a candidate I am capable of trusting. The current Administration leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth; they seem to thrive on misdirection, subterfuge, and ignorance while claiming in their campaign spots to stand for... well, whatever it is they stand for (I can't tell any more). Please do America a favor and run for President of the United States. Sincerely, Matt Mihalich

greetings general, having now viewed the debates between the 9 current democrats vieing for the nomination, i feel compelled to write again to urge that you do run for president of the united states. although many of us agree that it's time for g.w. bush to be ushered out of office, it will take more than simply tossing out the criticisms he so richly deserves. as i've followed your interviews, i've consistantly felt that you offered up ideas and appeared thoughtful rather than pandering to the outcry of the day. as it now appears that the u.s. will be involved with iraq and afghanistan for the years to come, it is more important than ever that the commander in chief be aware of and understand the dynamic nature of war. war is sometimes a necessary evil, not an opportunity for macho rhetoric. it takes more than hopping out of the shotgun seat of a jet onto the deck of a carrier to have this understanding. the mixture of military, scholarly and economic education balanced with real life combat and command experience that you would bring to the oval office has the potential to greatly improve america's sagging position in the world. it is time to replace the bush administration's furative dismantling of the constitution, shady backroom corporate deals and neo-conservative agenda with the openess, honesty and honor that has, until now, typified our country. i sincerely believe you are the man for the job.

Yes, I have to agree with Ken Findlay in N.J., that Bush's biggest lie (and there have been quite a few whoppers) was that he said he was a "uniter and not a divider." This world has never been so divided, and the Bush administration has distanced even our allies by their ruthlessness and lies. Our country hasn't been this divided since the Vietnam era. We don't need any more lies and deceit in the Oval Office, but need a return to honesty and openess for government. We need to return to a "United" States of America without Bush's divisions. General Clark, we need someone with your stature. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

Dear General Clark, The country's in desperate need of a President whose I.Q. will at least exceed that of a poached egg. That's a harsh assessment of our sitting president and I'm sorry to make it. But obviously I'm disappointed. Quite simply, he has misled Americans, and placed the country in one of the worst military/political situations we have experienced since Vietnam. His Adminsitration's approach to the challenges of this new century have been far from level-headed. He's simply not deserving of a second term, and I regret that he ever had a first. I'm equally unimpressed with the field of candidates in the Democratic Party seeking to replace him. Most Americans will not embrace Howard Dean, and will be very reluctant to regard him as a suitable replacement for Bush. Dean's present status as a front-runner is much more a reflection of his sorry competitors than Dean's appeal. If he's his party's nominee, the Democrats will then present the country with a horrible choice between a dishonest incompetent, and someone who often comes off as an arrogant jerk. When considering our current scenario, I'm simply led to ask, where's the potential for meeting this country's growing need not only for unity, but credibility within the international community? Each day that conditions in Iraq seemingly fail to improve, the greater is the potential is for a level of polarization that could rival the darkest days of Vietnam. When I read a book by David Halberstam about the Clinton Administration's response to the crisis in eastern Europe, I was very interested in reading his assessment of your service. I found most of his words complimentary, and I think you should feel flattered. I have no doubt you have detractors, but so what. So has anyone of consequence. I hope those like me who are inclined to support you will not be disappointed to learn of any reasons, now hidden, that might make you unacceptable as a Presidential candidate. We are already suffering from the unacceptable performance by the current President, and a breath of fresh air will be badly needed by the end of 2004. Please run and peform the service of offering the country a much more appealing alternative than George Bush and the unimpressive wannabes seeking to replace him. Thank you very much.

General Clark, As a soldier you know all about duty and honor. It is your duty now as a citizen of high profile to run for the presidency. We need a president who can manage in parallel the challenges of domestic issues such as the economy along with defining and implementing a successful foreign policy. No current candidate or our sitting president is currently doing this. The American people are ready and willing to vote for change, provided the change is significant and in lines with what they really desire. You should be the vehicle for that change. Tim Rupp

Outcast, Not Un Heard, Nor Alone K Warren When I first heard that other people felt the same way as I did about the war, our great leader and the time they’ve been gone overseas I didn’t believe it. I felt so alone, scared, worried and frustrated. I know that others are in-fact on the same page as myself. Do I think President Bush Lied to us to get troops overseas. No, I know he lied, I feel as if he is lying now. September 11th is about remembrance now somehow In the speech at Arlington National Cemetery included in it is what America is doing in the war. Why can’t we have one day without war coverage, one day that is at peace? Being our great leader is about character, that means qualities that show difference, what has our great leader done to show a difference? Taken action, killed our husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts. Started a war that didn’t need to be started. Kept loved ones apart, raised taxes to pay off his mistakes. Can he sell it? No! Next term is about character and I KNOW that we will get the right man in the house this time. The one who knows about values, family, economy. I’ve had enough of our current leader. I am a wife who is willing to stand up and say “Bring My Husband Home”. The war is over, you’ve won your battle Mr. President. Is this the land of the free? Why can’t I stand up as a Military wife and protest? Where is my freedom of speech? I believe that rights of Military wives SHOULD really be equal, if I am mad then I want people to know! It isn’t right that myself and other wives have to go along with what the Military says and does when in-fact we don’t always support it. I see NOTHING wrong with that. If we all agreed on everything, then people like me and others would have nothing to speak about. THIS IS the land of the free and I DO have freedom of speech. I will say what I feel. I won’t let people intimidate me, I won’t back down, I will stand up for what I believe in, as anyone does, that includes our great leader and many other politicians, what I WON’T do, I will not lie. I will speak the truth. These are my thoughts! When I married my Husband I agreed to support, love honor and cherish him. I did not marry into the Military to be owned and stopped at freedom of speech. I can say the only downside in speaking out, my Husband gets penalized. He gets crapped on because other members of the Military sit back and agree with everything. I think that the Military needs to re-read it’s Uniform Code Of Justice again. President Bush doesn’t care about the problems of today, he goes in starts something he can’t finish and for the next 4, 8, or 12 years another person will clean up the mess he started, as you can see is what is happening now with what his father started. President Bush wants to make you afraid of it and tell you who’s to blame for it. I know that people may not always agree with what I have to say, I am not naïve and I know what I feel and I know in my heart what is right. Bring our Men and Women home! Wesley Clark you have my full support, Run as our New Leader, we need someone that actually has character!

Dear General Clark, America needs a new president. One who is capable of thinking on his feet, one who understands American interests in an international perspective in the post 9/11 world, and one who knows how to genuinely cooperate with our allies abroad: both in "old Europe" and in "new Europe", in Russia, in China, in South Korea, and in the moderate parts of the Arab world. America needs a new president. One who can "repair" the damage that President Bush's foreign policies have done to: European Union cooperation, to NATO, to the fundamental transatlantic relationships between Europe and the USA, to the chances for a peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict, to Americas relationship to the moderate parts of the Arab world, to stabilizing and rebuilding post-Talaban Afghanistan, to international trade (steel & farming subsidies), to the ABM Treaty, to the Biological Weapons Protocol, to the Kyoto Protocol, to the International Criminal Court, etc... No matter what eventually happens in the post war period in Iraq, if America loses the "war" for the hearts and minds of the (aprox. 1 billion) Arab(s) in the street around the world, then we will be aiding Osama Bin Laden and others like him to recruit even more angry young muslim men from around the world to their cause ... To the extent that this happens, the war in Iraq could actually end up threatening American interests more - in the long run - than protecting them ... To the extent that this happens, this is not the way to win the war on terror. Mr. Bush has already squandered most of the international goodwill and sympathy, that America naturally had around the world after 9/11. Now our brave soldiers are wandering around in the deserts of Iraq - without ANY coherent blueprint for peace. What's next? America needs a new president. One who can bring back some financial discipline to the American economy again, one who will stop the irresponsible Republican tax give-aways to the richest Americans - especially when America is expecting a 500 billion dollar + budget deficit this year! If Jeff Davis has to go because of the large budget deficits [55 billion +] accumulated on his watch as Governor in California, then President Bush should also pack his bags and go! America needs you - General Clark. Please run for president. Best Regards, Jerry Wilson US Citizen & Internet Consultant Hoeje Skodsborgvej 10 Skodsborg 2942 Denmark

General Clark, For too many years I have had to go to the polls with no passion for the candidates. After seeing you on a number of news shows, and reading your positions on numerous issues, I think you are the candidate that America has been waiting for. I urge you to run, for the good of our country. We need a man like you who knows patriotism is more than waving a flag or shouting a slogan. It is adhering to the ideals our country was founded on of justice and equality. We have been moving away from those ideals for some time, and especially during the last 2 years. I served on board a nuclear submarine during the 80’s, and would have been proud to have been under the command of a CO like yourself. Once again, I urge you to run. Respectfully, Michael A. Coats

Please run with Dean. We have to get Bush out of the White House, and it's the best strategy. Don't forget how Nader effected Gore in Florida.

America needs new leadership. We need a President who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. We need a Commander-in-Chief who had the guts to serve his country in Vietnam, not sip champagne in a fake unit or have "other priorities." We need a man who knows what teamwork is about and who will not cast aside friends and allies. We need a leader who has the experience and intelligence necessary for protecting Americans at home and American interests abroad. We need a fearless voice for reason and moderation that can cut through all of the lies and right-wing propaganda and tell us the truth for a change. You are intelligent and articulate and never back down when you know you're right. And General, anyone who can make Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly shut up deserves the highest praise! It's time once again for a great leader of men and women to rise to the challenge of leading our great nation. Like other warrior-statesmen before you, I ask that you please answer yet another call to duty. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Everything you said was so in tune with what this country needs--you are a complete package--from honesty in government and health care to the environment. I felt you were speaking from the heart and not just paying lip service to issues like the Bush administration. On top of all this an impeccible service record! Please declare now!

Hello General Clark, My name is Stanford Lester and I live in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I have been so favorably impressed with your responses to the myriad of questions that you have aswered in the last two years and more. I am involved with the meetup process here in Oklahma City when I can and stay in touch regularly. I have developed a list of three dozen people that I have approached as potential Clark for President supporters. As a group we do not have a lot of financial resources but each of us will contribute and spread the word to others, so they may start to listen to the messages of the various candidates and compare them to your message. Our country is in the middle of overwhelming undertakings and I for one want to have a trustworthy, knowledgeable and intelligent person such as yourself to be helping to guide our domestic and foreign policies. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Sincerely Stanford Lester

You are articulate, direct without being agressive, clear, attractive AND LITERALLY UN-ATTACKABLE by the Republican campaign devisers. Your background and experience and "credentials" make you unnassailable, invulnerable to their slings and arrows. PLEASE RUN. Not only CAN you win, I sincerely believe that you would SURELY win. And we absolutely must end this administration - arguably the worst administratin in the history of our Republic. Thank you and very best success. You have my support.

I was favorable to your possible candidacy as Dean's VP, and I intend to vote for him, but if after considering that option, you decide instead to vainly pursue the limelight yourself, I PROMISE THAT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU, but rather for the green party candidate. It seems greedy and disloyal of you. AND, for another thing, I am not exactly proud of your involovement in the WACO thing, and further, I flat out don't like the idea of having a military career man as our President, not in these times of big money war mania and strong arm tactics. The honorable thing, despite the support you may be recieving from select factions, is to get behind the best candidate, the one that currently has the best chance of winning, to thereby help defeat BUSH which is the only real imperative of this election. IF YOU CHOOSE TO RUN YOU WILL ONLY GET BUSH RE-ELECTED!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT RUN.

Dear Sir... as a concerned citizen and mother of two, I feel compelled and very excited to write to you asking for your entry into the Presidential Race for '04. I feel America needs an honest and dignified leader that our children can look up to and voters can feel truly good about. Bush stole the election on 2000, squandered the goodwill we had in the world, gave tax cuts to the wealthiest among us, and has now been proven a liar when it came to our invasion of Iraq. Many among us wish we had a president that thought about US first, rather than a bunch of long-silent oil fields in Iraq. Fight for our children, their schools, our seniors, and our security as you have so valiantly fought for us on the battlefield. Enter as the Democratic candidate and you will have my vote. Thank you.

General Clark: I am a college student at Cornell University, and it is fair to say that the sentiment on campus is that America is in danger right now from oppressive security legislation, a fledgering economy, and a less than competent commander in chief. Although I think there are extremely qualified candidates in the race right now, I believe that both Senators Gephardt and Dean are too extremist to gain centrist support. That being said, I have seen you speak repeatedly on crossfire, MSNBC, etc. as of late, and believe you are capable of running the kind of campaign that would attract both liberals and conservatives alike. I am strongly in support of most of the stances that you have taken, and believe that your nomination (and subesequent election) is just what the nation needs to curtail the downward spiral that has befallen our economy, and stop the recent attack on civil liberties by the Bush Administration. Please, for the sake of America, run for president.

Please run for president. Howard Dean never answered the following e-mail I sent him on September 1, 2003: Subject: Your assertion that U.S. troops should stay in Iraq. In your interview with Fred Hiatt concerning the Iraq war appearing in the Washington Post on August 25th, you said, “Now that we’re there, we’re stuck,” and “We have no choice” but to keep U.S. troops there until “we get a democracy in Iraq.” That comment is like one’s having said of Vietnam, during the Vietnam War, “Now that we’re there, we’re stuck,” and so we have to stay until we win. That thinking was wrong then, and it’s wrong now. The sooner we get out, the less disastrous it will be that we got in. The best that we can now realistically hope for from this invasion is for whatever government that emerges in Iraq to respond favorably to a conditional offer from us of reconstruction assistance, an offer that’s made conditional upon Iraq’s government's waging, essentially, a war against the extremist/terrorist fundamentalist Islamic groups now pouring into Iraq, groups that constitute a genuine, major, and enduring, threat to U.S. security. The fundamentalists inside Iraq also are getting help from some outside Islamic countries, and the U.S. should provide help to any Iraqi government that seeks to defeat those fundamentalists. We might have the resources sufficient to win that way, but can’t win the existing way (i.e., by means of our own troops occupying Iraq). We cannot choose Iraq’s government, but we can offer incentives to whatever government ends up in that country. Only we can provide such huge cash, and are obliged to by Bush’s invasion. We should offer very generous financial assistance indeed to any such government, but ONLY IF they vigorously attack supporters of Al Qaeda there. It’s our only constructive way forward. The U.S. is legally obliged, as the invader, to offer this aid, but ONLY if the Iraqi government suppresses anti-U.S. terrorism. If Iraq’s government complies with this American need, then the hundreds of billions of dollars that America will be obliged to provide to Iraq will be purchasing improvements for both the Iraqi and the American peoples. This will cost far less than continued military occupation, and be vastly more effective toward serving both American and Iraqi interests. It is the most that can now be salvaged from the catastrophic mess that Bush got us into. As long as we will be trying to impose in Iraq a government that’s acceptable to us, the result will be essentially what we had in Vietnam when we were insisting upon propping up there a government that was acceptable to us: it will make our self-imposed disaster even worse. Your statement to Fred Hiatt was ill considered, and it ought to be quickly retracted. Similarly, our troops inside Iraq should be quickly extracted. Sincerely, Eric Zuesse Does this e-mail reflect YOUR position, too?

I am a young American -- neither Democrat nor Republican. As far back as I can remember, I have never once seen a candidate in any election that I felt was truly “the best.” Of course there was always the “best of the worst” or the “lesser of two evils,” but I’ve never been fully represented by either party. Most of my elected representatives don’t care about me or my family. Their ranks are mostly filled with party hacks who have yet to think a single, unique thought. Their thoughts and ideas are all provided for them, free of charge, by their respective political party. America is in danger. There are so few true patriots left. Many Americans think that by simply waving a flag, or writing “Support the Troops” on their back windshield, they are being patriotic. True patriotism can only be found in the hearts of men and women who honestly wish to preserve America and the freedoms that are represented by our Constitution. So many have died giving us the right to choose our destiny and now, after all of these years, we must fight to retain that right. General Clark, you are the absolute best presidential candidate that we could ask for. Your biography, and your words, speak loudly to an America that is in desperate need of responsible leadership and maturity among childish political antics. You represent me – and my family – in a way that no one else could. You are a true American and a proven patriot. Your concern for America is genuine, not politically driven, and that's why millions of Americans support you and don't even know it yet. Give them the opportunity! I refuse to give up hope. Please run for President and help me, and the scores of other true patriots, save America. You can – and will – win.

General Clark: Today is the eleventh consecutive day I have written to ask you to run for president. I know that you are meeting with "high-level" people to consider this question. I hope you are also considering the views of "low-level" people like myself! We are often frustrated by the fact that our leaders pay no attention to us, except when they want our vote. I think you are different and believe in dialogue with all sorts of people. Today my main argument is that you can win the Democratic nomination. The contest for the nomination will come down to a choice between you and Howard Dean. Dean will start out ahead, but in the end you will win. Here is how it will happen. If you come in now (the next week or so) you will immediately be a "first tier" candidate, along with Gephardt, Dean, Lieberman, and Kerry. For example in the latest CNN national poll the five of you get from 9 to 15%, while the other five candidates drop off sharply to 5% or less. Howard Dean is arguably the front runner. In the first two primary states (Iowa and New Hampshire) he is doing very well, especially in New Hampshire where polls show him with a substantial lead over Kerry. Dean also has a lot of financial backing. Let's go through a reasonable scenario of what will happen. 1. Dean will do well in Iowa win in New hampshire and become the clearly established front-runner. You will do well enough to stay competitive with the other four first-tier candidates. 2. As you become better known as a presidential candidate, you will pick up more support on your own. 2. The other candidates will begin to drop out as the primaries continue. Let's examine what is likely to happen when they do: Second Tier: Dennis Kucinich--his supporters are primarily peace advocates. Some of them will go to the Green Party, some will come to you as the best hope for genuine peace and security, and some will just drop out. Few, if any, will go to Dean because they see him as insincere on peace issues. I personally fall into this category and am supporting you now because I believe that you are sincere in wanting peaceful solutions and can be effective in achieving them. Bob Graham--his candidacy is based on being a Southerner and on his criticism of Bush's military policies. For both reasons his supporters will come to you after he drops out. John Edwards-he is from North Carolina and his supporters are likely to come to you as a fellow Southerner. Al Sharpton--Sharpton's appeal is to African Americans and the poor and underclass generally. His supporters are more likely to come to you as a self-made man than to Dean who comes from an upper-middle class background. It is also notable that Dean has few African Americans supporting him now. Carol Mosley Braun--her primary appeal seems to be to women and minorities. It is hard to say where her supporters will go. First Tier candidates: Joe Lieberman--his support comes from more conservative Democrats and hawks. The hawks may well come to you rather than Dean because of your military competence. Who knows where the conservatives will go. Clinton and the DNC seem to be concerned over a "liberal" Democrat and have criticized Dean on this score. Dean has waffled back and forth, claiming that he is from "the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party (A line he took from the late senator Paul Wellstone who was very liberal, while at the same time saying "I am in the mainstream" and boasting about his ability to balance budgets. Also Lieberman ran as the VP candidate with Gore and thus if Gore supports you, Lieberman's supporters may follow suit. Dick Gephardt--his supporters are primarily working class and union people. Gephardt is a first tier candidate only because of his name recognition. The voters rejected him in the 1992 primaries and will do so again. After Iowa his support will drop off sharply. His supporters are not likely to go to the elitist Dean and are therefore more likely to come to you on the issues of security, the economy and personal integrity. John Kerry--Kerry is just not connecting with the voters. After he loses to Dean in New Hampshire, the next set of primaries are in the South where Kerry will not do well. He may drop out at that point. There is considerable animosity between Dean and Kerry, at least at the staff level. For example, when I was visiting Dean's national headquarters in Burlington I witnessed a staff member who had a small white dog who he had trained to roll over and play dead when he said to the dog: "What would you choose, John Kerry as president or to be dead." Dean is also known for his temper and know-it-all arrogance which has not endeared him to Kerry or the other candidates. Thus Kerry's supporters are far more likely to come to you as someone who shares some of Dean's political views, has a strong military background and doesn't have Dean's attitude problem. In sum, assuming that you can put together a good campaign staff and run a competent campaign, you will overtake Dean in the weeks following Iowa and New Hampshire and gain the nomination. It will not be easy, but it is very, very possible.

Sir: I believe the Presidency of the United States is an office in which the person holding that position should be a leader of the highest quality, with a broad education, knowledgeable of various issues, and a background reflecting the best attributes of the American citizen. The current President is not. I have served in the uniform of the United States Army National Guard since I was 17 years old. Likewise, I have served with my local volunteer Fire Department since I was 17. I have been an EMT since 19, and am currently in college with hopes of becoming a paramedic with the Albany FD. I am one of the few regulars in the peanut gallery at town board meetings. I am a fifth generation resident of my town and take its future seriously. I believe in the nobility of public service, and believe that it embodies the spirit which this country was founded upon. Your service to your nation, your leadership of its soldiers, and your positions on the issues that face this nation make you the best candidate for the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. On a personal note, in a Republican/Conservative dominated military, its good to know that there are leaders who keep a more open mind about certain issues in national politics. President Bush’s handling of the post Sept. 11 world has been atrocious, hurting American citizens more than those who threaten us. Denying Constitutional liberties is not the answer to defeating an enemy who seeks to cause just that. I was glad to see you believed in a review and reduction of powers of the Patriot Act. Sir, please, run for President, beat George Bush, and restore this country’s reputation as a leader and model for the rest of the world. - Jeremy Rue Knox, NY

Dear General Clark: I confess I am greatly excited by the prospect of your candidacy. I do not think any of the current rank of Democratic candidates can defeat Bush, although I wish that was not the case. And it is terribly important that Bush be defeated in the next election. He is simply running the country to ruin in his cutting and spending and in foreign policy. It is not only really injurious but very likely immoral (I do think that the administration is corrupt in ways the make Clinton's offenses pale by comparison). More than that, looking at your record, and watching you in interviews and the like, I think you could well be a wonderful president, particularly by virture of your honesty, conviction, and straightforwardness. You also have the abililty to state complex issues in in clear tough not simplified terms accessible to all. I do think you have the capacity to summon the country to a high plane of SERVICE within and outside its borders. Having pledged some money, and with more to come if you should run (I teach at a small college and don't have a lot), I implore you to run for the good of the country. We are in desperate need of smart, compassionate, and moral leadership. Godspeed. Roy Anker Department of English Calvin College Grand Rapids, MI 49546

Dear Gen. Clark: As yet one more concerned and alarmed citizen of the United States, I am asking you to run for the presidential election of 2004. I am a rare books librarian. I work for a library that collects the history of the Americas. As I sit here, cataloguing Ferdealist period documents, the works of Tom Paine and the writing of many other authors, named and anonymous, urging questioning and vigilence during the Revolutionary War, I am reflecting upon our current and distressing situation. When I read these passionate writings, it makes me proud to be an American, not ashamed of an increasingly greedy and destuctive government. I honestly believe that our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves to see what a mockery we have become and what a mockery our constitution is becoming. The United States faces a period of huge polarization, perhaps more than ever before in our short life as a country. We need a unifying factor more than ever. I see your candidacy as a unifying force among the various candidates. You have the expertise in defence, you are decorated, you are a Rhodes scholar, you have worked in government, you are a well repsected and forward looking intellgent person. Those of us who consider themselves Democrats and Independants are increasingly alarmed at the backstabbing between the candidates and the hostility. We need a unifier, some one who can embrance all of our democratic values -- I see you as that person. So, please, for the good of this great country and for the health of our postition in the world, which has suffered do direfully in these last 3 years, I ask that you throw in your hat to run for the position of President of the United States. Make our nation great again, recapture the respect we have lost, and moreover, please make our founding fathers proud again of the office of president anf of the government and people which it serves.

General Clark, Not to sound arrogant, but you know you’re good when some of your Democratic rival supporters are calling on you to forfeit in order for them to win the battle. It's just plain laughable to ridiculous. Even some Republicans have written asking so. If only they'd realize this is more than a battle to win the Democratic nominee, but a war to unseat Bush Inc. Which is not to be taken lightly by the half-hearted. By the way, I haven't come across any of your true supporters asking any of the others to forfeit in order for you to win. If they were so confident in their candidate it shouldn't matter who enters the race to bid. So please stick to your Bazookas and let the voters decide whose to lead them. I am eager to support you.

General Clark, I have been waiting with great anticipation for your exciting announcement that you will enter the 2004 Presidential Race. I was turned on to your campaign many months ago and have now convinced my husband, mother, sister, in-laws, etc. to also get behind you. I have been working on your behalf in my small community by handing out Draft Clark buttons and bumper stickers. One thing I have learned is that not many people in my town know who you are, but I have been passing out your resume and spreading the word about you. The responses have been very positive. I believe that once you announce more people will get on board. You are our great hope to take back this country and restore America to its former greatness. Our current administration has been a wrecking crew, constantly tearing down treaties, social programs, and respect throughout the world. Bush has got to go! The sooner the better. Please don't let us down. I've already pledged some $$$ to your campaign and will send whatever I can afford in the future. God speed General Clark.

Mr. Clark. I am very impressed with the interviews I have seen of you with an asortment of journalists. Although I largely support most of your ideas, there are alot of issues I support and do not know of your posture on. It was very disappointing to discover from the representatives of CafePress, the Draft Wesley Clark campaign apparel is neither MADE IN AMERICA nor Union Made. If this is a reflection of the posture you would take to defend jobs in America, not only can I not support your campaign for public office but I will campaign to defeat your bid for public office. This issue of Made in America is at the forefront of my decision of support to a public candidate. I have been unemployed for the last 15 months, I feel due to the miserable failure of our present President of the United States. As an economist I would think you can understand why I feel this way about defending jobs of Americans. Please understand I feel strongly about many issues, that are considered liberal by the ultra conservatives of America, that defend the rights of the common citizen. I feel I may be able to support you in the future when I am able to discover your ideas on how to turn this miserable economy around, how to provide affordable health care for the common man, your ideas on how the government can expedite the use of renewable energy sources, and how to improve the infrastructure of America, employ more workers and protect the citizens all simultaniously. I have never been opposed to paying taxes, but it is difficult to pay taxes when you don't work and most of your saving have gone to Bernie Evers and other corrupted executives. General Clark I have the utmost respect for you and I would love to vote for you as the next president of the United States when I am comfortable you are the best man for the job. I have made a small contribution to the Draft Wesley Clark campaign in an effort to get you to make a proclamation of your desire to be our next president. PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT!

Dear General Clark, I caught your appearance on Bill Maher last night. I had not heard you were considering a run for the White House until that moment. As a registered "non-partisan," I find it hard to get behind many of the candidates from any party that simply toe the line of the status-quo. You are a breath of fresh air. You are articulate, sensible and charasmatic. You are preceisly the kind of leader this nation needs in these days. Please, for the sake of this great nation, step forward and run for President. You will have my support, and the support of many more like me. Sincerely, Eric W. Kilgore

I've already been bombarding friends with email promoting your candidacy for president. You're the only candidate who's virtually guaranteed to clobber Bush. Your Presidency would be a huge step in making the U.S. and the world a safer place. The ripple effect would boost the U.S. economy, and could reverse the terrible blows to the most admired economy and political system in the world. If you run, I can provide 20 or more hours a week to working on your campaign.

America definitely does need a new president. President Bush does not concern himself with anyone that is not wealthy, and his foreign policy is painting all Americans as being imperialistic, hotheads, with itchy trigger fingers. Bush considers war an easy choice even though he sought the coverage of the Air National Guard during Vietnam. He has turned his back on our Bill of Rights and is on the road to creating a police state. I definitely would like to see a man of your character and crudentials run for president of the United States, and if you prefer not, than please consider running with Howard Dean. I dare to say that you two may have enough sway with Americans that Bush and the other silver spoons would be running for cover.

Dear General Clark I'm an American and a Vetern and I am appaled by what President Bush is doing with this country and with the war on terror. We cant seem to find Osama Or Saddem. When we went into Iraq I told my wife this was going to be Americas finest hour or a cluster F**k. Well, between not enough troops on the ground, The administration insisting there's nothing wrong and dropping the ball the whole way along with the failures in Afganistian it sure looks like a Cluster F**k from where I sit. The current Democrats running for the office of President is a Joke. I dont want to vote for any of them and the Thought of President Bush winning a second term just turns my Stomach. 10-15 years from now George Bush will be looked back on as one of Our Worse President. Your Country is calling you Sir, Your Country NEEDS you. I dont know actually how good of President you would make But I do believe you cant be any worse then what we have now and probably Much better. The Only person I would vote for over you is John Mcain and he isnt running. Please dont let this turn into Bush vs Dean election. This Country is Starving for a Real Leader and Not a Politican. You can do this. I believe with your background you stand the best chance of anybody to win the 2004 presidental election. Run for President General Clark and I will give you my Vote. Sincerly Timothy K Frederick ( USAF - 1978 / 1982 )

General Clark, When I first heard, months ago that you might run, I read your book. Now I know I want you to be my next president. We need a man in the oval office who is more than a package of glib one-liners. A man who knows there is no such thing as a jobless recovery. A man with his eyes open to the environment and social issues. A man who can approach forign police from a place of experience, understanding and strength, not a place of fear and posturing. And we nead a man who undestands the importance and dignity of our men and women in uniform, and would never cheapen that uniform for a publicity stunt. General Clark, you are that man. Please run for president.

Mr. Clark, I have heard your name mentioned in the past as a possible Presidential candidate, but didn't give it much thought because it didn't seem like you were going to run. I have heard some things about how you were eminently qualified for the Presidency, but until I heard you the other night on Bill Maher's show, I never paid much attention. When I saw how intelligent you are, how well spoken, how well thought-out your comments were, how refreshingly candid you were, I became excited about you running for President, especially when you hinted that it wasn't entirely outside the realm of possiblity. Now that I read and hear you are exploring the possiblity, please let me encourage you to decide in favor of running. Bush has been a absolute catastrophe and none of the declared Democrats appear stong enough to beat him, which is what the United States needs to regain our world stature, and our citizens' hope for their futures. Please "throw your hat in the ring" and give me and the rest of the country some shred of hope that there is a bright future before us. Thank you.

You will end up as a Ralph Nader type candidate who will split the Dean vote and we'll end up with a candidate who cannot win. While I admire you tremendously, at this point, you could better serve the Democratic party and our country by running as VP to Dean's presidency.

The current batch of Democratic hopefuls will result in a continuation of the present Bush presidency. We need someone that can diffuse any attempt by the Republican side to use patriotism as a weapon. This administration has been too much like the Regan years where any criticism was met with a flag and a questioning of one's love of country. We know we need to fight terrorism but refusing to acknowledge a lack of planning and acceptance of any blame shows that this administration is only interested in pursuing its own agenda. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. The first I heard of your intent was on CNN last night, and for the first time since the Democrats have begun their annoucing of candidates, I feel we have someone that could unseat Bush.

I am a 100% John Edwards supporter. However, I think you have a lot to offer our Party. If you decide to run--you will be a welcome addition. If not, please support John Edwards. With your background in military affairs and John Edwards' very appealing domestic message (even the press gives hime credit for his policy ideas--they call them the best and most innovative of the entire field) the two of you would make a great team--most importantly a winning team. Edwards brings you the ideas and policies that you have not yet formulated (Healthcare, Rural Agenda, Middle Class Tax Cuts, etc) and you could bring an impressive level of military and executive training that Edwards (all the others to be honest) do not have. This would be the perfect partnership. You and Edwards could then build your support together--using Edwards organization in key states. If you support Dean you would only be able to go Down. Trust me, Dean is heading in that direction. That fact that in addition to your records, both of you are intelligent, charismatic Southerners is also a win-win. 'There is a reason the the GOP would be scared to death by an Edwards/Clark or Clark/Edwards ticket. I have several Republican friends in Washington and they tell me that Edwards and Clark are the two names that they fear the most. One GOP friend told me, "I sure hope they don't team up. It would be a real threat to the President and they might have the coattails to take the House and Senate back." I'm a partisan African-American Democrat. I am also a Southerner. What ever you decide--Please DO NOT Support or Team with HOWARD DEAN. A man of your STATURE should not have to put your self in that position. An Edwards/Clark or Clark/Edwards ticket might be the only way we can become a majority party in Congress again in 2004. To be honest--As much as you would be able to bring to a national ticket, your great qualities would be CANCELLED OUT if you join Howard Dean (Just imagine a debate with Edwards against Bush and you against Mr. Cheney). Thanks and Good Luck Lance Mangum Strong Supporter of Democratic Southerners in 2004 John Edwards and Wesley Clark

Dear Gen. Clark, I have been an ardent supporter since June, when I first learned of the possibility of your candidacy. I have sent copies of the "Esquire" article all over the country and have enlisted many friends around the U. S. Today I heard on FOX news (which I watch to see what the enemy is up to!) that you and Howard Dean may form a Pres./VP ticket. PLEASE MAKE NO ARRANGEMENTS which would end your bid for the presidency!! Read Joe Klein's piece in the 9/15 issue of TIME re Dean's waffling on the issues in the latest debate among Democratic contenders for the nomination. Klein quotes a Dean supporter: "I think Dean confuses being smart with knowing a lot. I'm not sure he knows a lot." What you bring to the table is a positive message (Dean's is angry and negative), a vast amount of experience in interantional diplomacy (Dean has none) and a clear message of hope, in contrast to Bush's emphasis on fear. PLEASE AGREE TO RUN AS PRESIDENT. A loyal supporter in KY. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I would ask the General to please throw his hat into the ring as soon as possible, before choices are made and efforts spent on other candidates. This election is extremely important to the many people who feel like the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction and Wesley Clark is clearly the best person to set things right. I'd would also be extremely excited by a Clark/Dean ticket in which Dean tackles universal health care as VP. Thank You, Eric Hurst

Dear Mr. Clark, As a Canadian and strong supporter of democracy, human rights, environmental protection and international law, may I say that America desperately needs new leadership. President Bush has threatened America's security by revoking US support for such important international treaties such as the ICC, Kyoto Protocol, Biological Weapons Protocol and ABM Treaty. America has always been a leader in championing international law and multilateral diplomacy to regional conflicts. The current occupant of the White House has sabotaged America's great vision with his trampling of the Bill of Rights, US Constitution and UN Charter. I dearly hope that you will run as a Democratic nominee for President. Your calm, rational and reasonable approaches to domestic policies, as well as your impeccable military record make you an ideal candidate to challenge Mr. Bush on foreign policy, his supposed "strength". I wish you the best of luck. May God bless your nomination, and help all Americans and peaceloving people everywhere. Best regards AW Montreal, Canada

Dear General Clark: First let me describe to you that I am 36 years old. I am also cynical, disillusioned, and disheartened, by George Bush's performance and by politics in general. However, I have felt a sense of hope about our Country's future since I learned you might make a run. I first saw you speak on CNN, on Newsnight, preceding & into the beginning of the War on Iraq. After about two weeks I said to my husband that I thought you'd make a great president, and that was based soley on what I perceived from newscasts-intelligence, presence, charisma, and also the feeling of respect you seemed to have for the troops. I've since read your book, but I didn't really give any more thought to the possibility that you might actually run for office. The other night I saw you on Bill Mahr's show. I was pleasantly surprised that you are a Democrat, but, more importantly, I was profoundly moved by what you had to say in those 10 minutes or so. It seems to me that we don't listen to each other any more in today's world. I believe in large part we have forgotten how to be humane toward each other. This is a great Country, and we need you to help us return to what made it so. I truly urge you to run. Sincerely, Kathleen Mercado General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I sent the following message to thirty of my fellow Democrat Committee members and to many of my friends and relatives. It is imperative that President Bush be defeated. I believe that Wesley Clark would have the best chance of doing that. Clark is smart (Rhodes scholar) articulate, has a good Democrat outlook and has anchor man appearance. Karl Rove and the conservatives would have a hard time painting Clark as a left wing liberal weak on the fight on terrorism. Whether he will run or not is to be determined but your input could be persuasive. Go to the draft web site: https://www.draftwesleyclark.com and make your wishes known. Forward this e-mail to others. We must defeat President Bush and his neocon cohorts and I believe Clark, above all other Democrat candidates, has the best chance. Charley Shakespeare

Dear General Clark, Please run for President, but temper criticism of the administration's decision to go to war. It was a terrible mistake, but we are there. Instead, focus on what we can do now to gain international support both in troops and money. Discuss how and when we can leae Iraq. Please talk about rebuilding our alliances with other countries and and what we can do about unemployment in this country. Sincerely, Valerie Dunnam

My family has been waiting. We want to see you and get to know you in the next democratic debate. Our impressions of you are that you are a solid potential candidate to lead us and release us from our current dilemma of uneducated, uncaring leadership. We need someone to mend the rift this administration has gouged with with world. I want to be proud to be an American - and I am - except when Bush opens his mouth, unscripted, and I cringe. Help us be a good model for the world again.

Please run for president. I am a 32 white female looking for a candidate to make a change with our government. I am a school teacher, a mother of a young child and another one on the way. I am very concerned about the future of our country. You are the first candidate that I feel can actually go up against George Bush and WIN! It seems you may be concerned about money being the issue that may hold you back, but your views and background will carry you much farther than any dollar amount. Good luck and I hope to see you join the race. Americans need you!

General Clark, I wrote to you several weeks ago, but would like to take the opportunity to do so again. You have given me hope—hope for the future of America. I look forward to an era of “New Enlightenment” thinking. An era of civil discourse and citizen participation. We are at a turning point in the history of the United States. We can either turn towards the model of Roman Empire, or we can revive the idea of liberal democracy. Thank you for defending the term last week. Fascism takes hold not because the people are stupid, but because they are afraid. This administration has used fear to manipulate the hearts and minds of the people. I am thinking back to a comment you made when you visited the Clinton Years class at the University of Arkansas. It was something like “the mark of a society is how it treats its most vulnerable citizens.” Not only do we have more vulnerable citizens, government is turning away from them. I am already working for your unofficial campaign in Washington State. This movement is growing. Your biography is amazing, but you are much more than that. You are a natural politician, a statesman, and a diplomat. Help us replace fear with truth, knowledge, and compassion. It will be a proud day for all Americans when we can present President Clark as our representative in the world. Thank you for all you have done, and all you will do to defend democracy and freedom for the generations to come. Sincerely, Sarah K. Barry

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. Bush has proven to a total disaster internationally, domestically, and fiscally. He is full of bluster but lacking in his grasp of reality. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. If you declare your candidacy, I promise to make a donation immemdiately. So far, I have supported Dean, but I would vote for you. You have an excellent chance to defeat George Bush.

General Clark, I am a veteran of the US Navy. From 1957 to 1965, reserve and active duty time. I served my Country Honorably. I traveled in the labor movement for 30 years, my last 26 years on International Staff with the electrical workers union the IBEW. I would like to know your postion with regards to working families and the trade union movement. But aside from that I really do like the idea of having some one run for president that is dedication for the right reasons, intelligent and understands what truly service to ones country is all about. It truly would have been an honor to have served under you. I now find myself asking you and your family, in the name of our country, to again make another sacrifice and run for Democratic President of the United States. Our Country needs help, it needs you. I am tired of the Republicans indicating they are the only one that are patriotic and that somehow only they can win wars and protect our Country. President Bush is the worst bargainer I believe I have ever seen. You on the other hand are very engaging and prepared in everything I have watched of you. Respectfully, Craig E. Hoepner

No doubt, the BU$H administration will go down in history as the worst in our great democracy, from its constant lies, secrecy, and deceit. We need a REAL president, and investigations into this corrupt administration giving the national treasury to both the wealthiest and the corporations that fuel these hypocrites. This arrogant administration, with its endless unilateral wars for money to defense contractors, subsidies to fossil fuel corporations, reluctance to fund a good educational system, 50% higher health care costs during the last 3 years, no-bid contracts with taxpayer's money for insider politicos, reducing pollution standards to drastically affect all of our lives, and basically turning this great country into a fascist right-wing extremist enclave. Our future generations will be paying the price of these short-sighted lunatics for many years to come. Not for just the raping of the national treasury to make the wealthier even richer, but by dividing this great country more than it has ever been divided. We are less safe now than before 9/11, and this administration with it's crazy neo-cons has instead stirred a hornet's nest around the world. This administration's war on terrorism is a failure, and only a smokescreen for bible-thumper Ashcroft to deliver more blows to our Constitution and civil liberties our country was founded upon. This current administration is more frightening than any terrorist group, and needs to be held accountable for all these vindictive ways against WE THE PEOPLE. Please announce your candidacy for President, because you will win with your avalanche of support at a time we need a hero like you, and send that bumbling idiot back to his pseudo ranch. Then he will have the time to read his bible and understand the true Christian way, since he is nothing more than a hypocrite. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Hey Dickie you're a little late. We've already discussed Counterpunch and concluded that any publication that uses the word "Pompous" or "Brownoser" above the name of the article might be just a teenie tiny bit biased. Why aren't these accusation's being published in a credible publication like the USA Today back then and now. Counterpunch is an underground organization and lacks serious credibility. There are a lot of extreme "anti-war" fanatics that have made similar accusations. Have you read all of the letters from people in Kosovo and who worked directly under the General backing him. And if you're going to speak on behalf of William Cohen, General Michael Jackson, and Mary Robinson then maybe you should get them together and let them tell us themselves. And why haven't these people come to Time Magazine to inform American's of what you claim? Could have been done three years ago but all of the sudden he's running for President and people want to slander his name. You're timing is curious at best and your motives well, they speak more about you than the General. Sell crazy somewhere else this country is all stocked up here with the White House!!

I believe you are the only person who can beat George Bush. My reason is that democrats tend to fight their battles in public and no one comes away untainted. Republicans caucus in secret and then present the candidate they think has the best chance. You have all the right credentials and you impressed a lot of people when you appeared on CNN during the "war" in Iraq. You have many enemies on the right which enhances your credibility to me. You are probably a FOB which impresses me. All you need do is stay above the fray. Surely the rest of the candidates will realize that you are out best hope. If they don't then they shouldn't be running in the first place. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

There are many of we REPUBLICANS that are somewhat disatisfied with President Bush's international policies. However, we see no current Democrat candidate for President who is a viable alternative to President Bush. YOU are the alternative for whom REPUBLICANS will vote. Only you or Senator Clinton could defeat the President, but I believe Senator Clinton is too focused on her own agenda to our country well.

General Clark: I never even knew you might be running until a little while ago. I caught an interview with you on TV a number of months ago, but almost nothing since. I flipped past your interview twice before I stopped and listened to all you had to say. You have a practical sincerity that comes across well to people. You appear to have highly-developed organizational skills, and my distanced impression is that you are a lucid, rational man who has a comprehensive understanding of the structure of powers that make this world in which we all live. We NEED you, Mr. Clark. We NEED somebody to restore the integrity of this country and repair our foreign and domestic policies. I could fill this box with quotes and anecdotes from the life of General Washington, but you probably know them better than I. Just as you are probably more familiar than I with all the relevant quotes from Roman statesmen and generals of the long-ago past. Search your conscience, assess your strengths ... then make the gamble. Nothing is certain in life, sometimes you just have to say, "F*** it! My country needs me, so I am going to try!"

Bush wanted to root out terrorism but left the roots and trunks intact. General, Sir, You have the potential to settle the Star root problem of the world and if you get the Israeli and palestinian problem solved , you would be the greatest statesman of the world and America will gain such a respect and honour in the world which no other president had or would have dreamt about. You are the One who can stand up to the challenge of our uncertain times. With so much experience from Nato and having handled crises and situations of war, you have the experience, knowledge, wisdom and a good personality which shows humility, sincerity and care for all. Go ahead General. If the baseball team owner can be elected, you are a better choice and I can see that from the exchanges and postings from my american friends over the internet and we want you to win straight. You have a great responsibility in fixing the american economy and the world peace fairly.

Wesley Clark - A War Criminal? For those in the audience who did not have a flier, I began to explain the picture which showed General Clark in a congratulatory handshake with Hashim Thaci, leader of the KLA, which under the noses of KFOR had murdered or ethnically cleansed thousands of Kosovo Serbs and had destroyed more Orthodox Christian churches and monasteries than were destroyed in 500 years under the Ottoman Empire. Next to Thaci was Bernard Kouchner, Chief U.N. administrator in Kosovo, British General Sir Michael Jackson, and Agim Ceku, who commanded the Croatian Army in "Operation Storm" that ethnically cleansed 250,000 Serbs from Krajina and murdered thousands and who now commands the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC), the thinly disguised successor to the KLA. It should be noted that the KLA, with whom we allied ourselves, at one time was designated by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization. Of course, this is the same KLA about whom Senator Joe Lieberman said: "The United States of America and the Kosovo Liberation Army stand for the same values and principles . . . Fighting for the KLA is fighting for human rights and American values." (Washington Post, Apr.28, 1999). Clark at Borders bookstore, Pentagon Center Mall, 17 Jul 2001 by Colonel George Jatras, USAF (Ret.) At the beginning of the Kosovo conflict,CounterPunch delved into the military career of General Wesley Clark and discovered that his meteoric rise through the ranks derived from the successful manipulation of appearances: faking the results of combat exercises, greasing to superiors and other practices common to the general officer corps. We correctly predicted that the unspinnable realities of a real war would cause him to become unhinged. Given that Clark attempted to bomb the CNN bureau in Belgrade and ordered the British General Michael Jackson to engage Russian troops in combat at the end of the war, we feel events amply vindicated our forecast. With the end of hostilities it has become clear even to Clark that most people, apart from some fanatical members of the war party in the White House and State Department, consider the general, as one Pentagon official puts it, "a horse's ass". Defense Secretary William Cohen is known to loathe him, and has seen to it that the Hammer of the Serbs will be relieved of the Nato command two months early. Gen. Wesley Clark Fights On and On [freerepublic.com] The guy who almost started World War III? From The Guardian, Tuesday August 3, 1999: No sooner are we told by Britain's top generals that the Russians played a crucial role in ending the west's war against Yugoslavia than we learn that if Nato's supreme commander, the American General Wesley Clark, had had his way, British paratroopers would have stormed Pristina airport threatening to unleash the most frightening crisis with Moscow since the end of the cold war. "I'm not going to start the third world war for you," General Sir Mike Jackson, commander of the international K-For peacekeeping force, is reported to have told Gen Clark when he refused to accept an order to send assault troops to prevent Russian troops from taking over the airfield of Kosovo's provincial capital. Robertson's plum job in a warring Nato Mary Robinson, the UN human rights commissioner, said Nato's bombing campaign had lost its "moral purpose". Referring to the cluster bomb attack on residential areas and market in the Serbian town of Nis, she described Nato's range of targets as "very broad" and "almost unfocused". There were too many mistakes; the bombing of the Serbian television station in Belgrade - which killed a make-up woman, among others - was "not acceptable". No blood money by Richard Norton-Taylor on the moral confusion of Nato, which refuses compensation to the innocent people it bombed.

I am genuinely ashamed of the unimpressive intelligence of my president and of the continuing aggressions his cabinet is waging against Iraq (I'm very much for hunting down Saddam & bin Laden, however). The blank checkbook attitude, the pay for it later years down the road with Iraqi oil (which is ludicrous), the connections to Halliburton, the "we will do what's right" rhetoric" ... I don't trust him and you seem like someone I would love to rally behind.

I wrote to you several weeks ago suggesting you run as VP on the Dean ticket - I was soooooo wrong. Please run at the top of the ticket. I have been monitoring all the letters sent to you from around the country and realize how strong you could be running for the top of the ticket - PRESIDENT. I certainly believe everyone has the right to his or her own opinion but some of the negative letters you are getting are almost comical. They are so desperate - and so foul mouthed I might add - because they obviously see you as someone that can win the white house. I have a real hard time understanding how ANYONE can support a man (Bush) that was an alcoholic until age 40, never had a real job (could never relate to someone punching a time clock or having a family budget), and of course the AWOL thing. I am 54 years old and have followed politics since my late teens and have never seen anyone in the white house so unqualified for the job. It is truly frightening. He was an absolute failure as govenor of this state. He ran on education which is the biggest joke of all - Texas is number 49 of the 50 states when it comes to test scores and a better education for our kids. Texas is number 50 when it comes to health care for our children. As govenor of this great state, just as president of this great country, there is NOT ONE THING he can point to that he has accomplished. It is imperative we get him out of office NOW. I want to steal a cute phrase that someone earlier wrote to you - General Clark, you are not a "draft" dodger, PLEASE run for President of the United States, we need you, the rest of the world needs you. Thank you.

General Clark, I am hoping that you will choose to run for the Presidency of the United States. Through the years I have had numerous opportunities to see you speak, both as a professional soldier and as a news commentator, and find you to be very inspiring. Our country needs a strong leader in these precarious times and I urge you to fill that role.

From what I have read up to this point, I think you are qualified to lead the United States as its next president. I am a republican and I am tired of Bush. But if it came down to Dean and Bush I would vote for Bush beccause we do not need a liberal turning our country into a soclialist one. however, if you run for president , I would vote for you. Do not run on Howard Deans ticket as VP. That would be an insult to your qualifications. Go for the top job....the next President of the United States.

Gen Clark, I am very interested in working on your campaign. I have 4 years experience working for a defense contractor in the Washington, D.C. region as a geopolitical/national security analyst working in the areas of consequence management exercise support and U.S. deterrence policy. I am very disturbed by the path our country has taken with regard to its foreign and defense policies, and I am convinced that you are very likely the only potential presidential candidate that has the credentials to take Bush on and defeat him in the next election. It is my sincere hope that you decide to run for President and put this nation back on track. I have read that you are actively seeking volunteers to assist you on your campaign.

To all of you "unbeatable" "dreamteam" Dean fanatics that have decided to infiltrate the Website for the General's PRESIDENCY: GO HOME! YOUR BOY DEAN IS ALL BARK AND NO BITE. You're all like gnats on a dogs butt and you're doing a disservice to our country. If you're so confident in your candidate, then you would be comfortable with him on his own as a candidate and not scared that the General will run in the primary against him. I'm comfortable with the General as a lone candidate at this point. Don't you guys think Dean can win without the General? No. Then who do you think deserves to be President because the General can do it without Dean. He's endorsed by the Clinton's and many prominent political insiders and he hasn't even run yet. You're weak without him but he's not weak without Dean. A TRUE LEADER CAN STAND ALONE, CLAIM THEIR STAKE ON THEIR OWN MERITS, AND WIN THE PRIMARY BEFORE THEY COURT A VICE PRES. Dean's got it backwards. Why? Because he knows that he is not a true leader and has to rely on the merits of others in order to win. The truth hurts.

With the years of military experience you come with and understanding of the volatile environment in so many troubled countries, namely Iraq and Afghanistan. Finally, you have the demeanor of confidence without bravado. We need someone like you for president.

If he runs, it will be for the good of the country, not for any type of self aggrandizement. I am prepared to actively work for his election. I am also pledging $500 to his campaign.

Dear Gen. Clark: I'm an independent voter, and I would like to see you run for President. I believe President Bush has done a commendable job in some respects in fighting the war on terrorism. But I also believe that a change is needed but none of the current Democratic candidates appeal to me in the least. The US needs a leader that remains strong on fighting terrorism but possesses a more balanced view on middle east policy, international relations, tax policy, health care and the environment. Please throw your hat in the ring. I'm convinced that you could be our next President if you do. Sincerely, J. Walker Geyer [email protected]

America may need a new president. No one knows for sure, however, that is not the reason you should run. If you truly believe that you can lead this country and do a better job than the current office holder then you should throw your hat in the ring. You have received the best education that this republic and it's treasure can provide and through your own efforts have achieved what few men have had the priveledge to even try. It really is not a question of whether you can be elected or not. No one really knows or can predict the future. I personally feel that as a patriot you have an obligation to compete for the presidency especially in the light of the opportunity that this nation has made available to you IF and only IF you truly believe you can and will lead this nation in a manner superior to that of the incumbent. As one old veteran to a younger superior, I recall the words of one of our great leaders in dire times of mortal combat: Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. This nation will always need leaders with vision, courage and ability and the will to win. Are you that kind of leader? If your answer is yes, then it would be a derelection of duty for you to decline to offer your services to the nation in what will be the most severe test the republic has had to face since the great conflagration of the Second World War. Now is not the time for leaders of faint heart who have trouble recognizing a republic from a religious dictatorship that threatens the most basic concepts upon which this nation was founded. Frankly, if you do not run this time, please do not bother to ever ask for my vote at a later more convenient time. The time of need is rapidly approaching and the need is now, the year is 2004. General Clark, I believe it is your duty to run for president if you think you can do the job. I personally think you can and this bunch of Democratic Candidates presently running leave a great deal to be desired in my opinion. But after all, they are just feather merchants or professional politicians so one should not expect to much out of them. Finally, I sure hope this talk of VP will go away. Real leaders dont accept second place.

I strongly disagree with Roy Cipple. As a Democrat,I believe that you will galvanize the Democratic party and your reluctance shows your respect for the resposibilities involved unlike out current President who had to be tutored in Austin by Condi Rice before the election on world and foreign affairs. That's right Rice tutored Bush on world affairs. So since Condi Rice has a 'no peacekeeper' philosophy, Bush's philosophies and perspectives were molded from the beginning. I'm leary of the intention's of people who make statements such as this guy.

Sir, I apologize for the double posting. I had not meant to send the formatted message, though I fully agree with it. From what I can gleen, there are only two possible obstacles to your declaring that you are a cndidate for President. One is whether, at this somewhat late date, you would still be able to organize an effective campaign. The other is possible concerns your family may have regarding the sacrifices involved. General I am continually struck, when reading these letters sent to you, by how frequently people who see or hear you for the first time on the media are immediately won over to passionately supporing you. That is a very rare response in politics. Your supposrt will grow tremendously once you announce and begin receiving the added coverage that comes with it. I am struck by the number of Republicans and Independents who have taken the effort to reach out to you urging you to run. Your base of potential support is much broader than that for Gov. Dean, yet the political establishment was shocked at the outpouring of support and funding he was able to quickly tap into, and the resulting viability of his canidacy. Sir, with all due respect to those professionals Pols, they ain't seen nothing yet! Announce for President and you will be overwhelmed by the support a grateful American public will deluge you with. The American people understand how great a crisis is upon our nation. That ironically is the source of George W. Bush's current support. He has been unwavoring in projecting an image of strong leadership for troubled time, and people have responded to that. Strong, perhaps, but unfortunately wrong leadership. More and more Americans are coming to understand that Patriotism and determination, qualities Bush no doubt has, are not enough to provide effective and wise leadership. They recognize true leadership when they are graced by the opportunity to witness it. We will continue to line up inbehind you Sir, in ever increasing numbers, should you call on us to follow. Where the people go, political operatives will follow. If you have not already located them, in short time technicians skilled in political campaigns will materialize to offer you their skills if needed, and even if not. I imagine the first recycled crop will shake loose after New Hampshire and Iowa. Regarding the possible sacrifices faced by your family, there is no way to minimize or explain them away. I can only say that since they love you, they obviously understand you are a man with a deep sense of duty and a calling to serve the American people. That has always been so, and they must be proud of you for that. When all is said and done, in their hearts, they like you know our country is in crisis. Were you all to walk down the street one day, and come upon a burning house with a child crying out form inside it, they would fear for your safety were you to try to help that child, but they would not urge you to stand by and watch. Our nation is on fire Sir, and I see no other leader available with the skills needed to rescue it.

General Clark, Our tax structures need to encourage long term savings by individuals and companies. Here are some of my ideas. Companies should receive tax create for contributions to employee retirement limited to x amount per person. We should introduce a separate tax rate for stocks held less than 90 days. The purpose of the stock marked is long term gains. Sincerely,

I believe our country needs someone like you right now in the office of the presidency, especially as we face an escalating complex international crisis. Your education, experience in NATO, and your experience in the business world make you very appealing to a wide range of voters. Please run for the presidency and give Americans some hope for the future. Whatever your decision, I thank you for your years of service to America.

General Clark, the Democratic party needs a candidate that not only can win a party nomination but more importantly can win the general election. America needs a fiscally responsible, socially progressive leader who understands how to negotiate and to lead domestically and internationally to achieve our goals. We need you sir to run and win.

America needs a real president. You are respected by so many in this country and the world, and with a smart campaign you can certainly dethrone the misleader that currently occupies the White House. We need a President who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times.

Please Run For President Dir Sir: I hope you will decide to run for the Presidentcy Of the United States during this most difficult time in our country's history. Now, more than ever, we need a Commander In Chief that is a Veteran, knows the workings of the military, someone that will surrond himself with experts to help our country with the loss of jobs and huge deficits and one that when called to duty during another difficult time in our Nations's history, didn't dodge service or take the easy way out by going to a reserve or guard unit. I am a Vietnam Combat Veteran, Sir, having served in the combat engineers and as a crew chief doorgunner on a Huey UH-1C helicopter gunship. I was in the Republic of South Vietnam from 28 August 68 until 22 October 70 and I am proud I answered my country's call when so many others failed to do nothing or look for easy alternatives. I urge you to run, Sir, so we don't lose the peace in Iraq and the lives of the lives of America's Armed Forces that died won't be in vain. Please, Sir, "throw your hat into the ring" as T.R. Roosevelt said, and lets give America some leadership, such as yourself, that has been tried and tested in war and peace. One last thing, Sir, I mean no disrespect by how I am about to address you, Sir, but being a fellow Vietnam Veteran I would like to say, Welcome Home, Brother! Sincerely & With Deep Respect, Joe 'Ragman' Tarnovsky

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I believe it is you that has the intellect, the ability, the most outstanding qualifications, and the heart to bring a new style Democrat into office. While I will vote for anyone who has the opportunity to beat Bush, I think it is you who could rally a party together better than the rest. I have the utmost respect for your qualifications from career choice to education to roles you have already played in the governmental process of our country and our world. I don't know what anyone sees in many of the other Democratic hopefuls, they are all just as sold out as the Republicans and their rhetoric is getting old and moldy. The only person out there so far who even comes close to having a new concept for running as a Democrat is Mr. Dean, and I do not believe he has the experience needed to take over as President in these questionable and worrisome times. Mr. Dean seems to have a stronghold on college age America, which I have full view of while working toward my Ph.D in Molecular Biophysics, but I do not see a true understanding in many of these youth in terms of what it really takes to govern this country, balancing economic and education issues with the ever present foreign issues that will be a necessary evil to deal with at all times in the near future. I wish you the best in your thought process that goes into forming a candiacy and upon your entry, you will have my support from day one and hopefully on election day Nov. 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

To Mike Milewski: I guess that's why virtually everything the General predicted could go wrong did go wrong. If you haven't notices. there's a lot of military and people from Kosovo who have taken time the speak their stories and voice their support. So that puts you in a sorry lot of the extreme minority. You exercised your first amendment right, the General encourages because he's not afraid of criticism unlike this Administration who are crying foul about criticism when they took no advice from the experts before the war who warned them this might happen. They made their bed but want someone else to lie in it. Sorry Mike, can't have it both ways.

The Patriot Act? A Strong American Pride? This is what anti-american madness goes on in the state of W's brother. Let's restore America's pride with a real Patrio -- Clark! And use these vulnerabilities to destroy the Bushes. Jupiter homeowner faces foreclosure for flying U.S. flag From Yesterday's Sun Sentinel By Peter Franceschina Staff Writer Posted September 11 2003 Defiant flag flier George Andres once again is facing the prospect of losing his Jupiter home after a Palm Beach County judge ruled Wednesday that his homeowners association could go forward with a foreclosure sale next month to collect legal fees. Andres, a Marine veteran, said he was worried about losing his home, but he vowed to appeal the latest ruling in a legal saga that has spanned more than two years. "We are going to fight," Andres said. It is the second time in recent months that Andres' home has moved toward the auction block. He was granted a reprieve in May when Circuit Judge Edward Fine agreed to reconsider his order authorizing the foreclosure. The Florida Attorney General's Office stepped in and argued that Andres' home was constitutionally protected under the state's homestead law from foreclosure by a homeowners association attempting to collect a legal debt. Andres' homeowners association prohibits flagpoles, and Andres has a 12-foot flagpole in his front yard. Another judge ruled that Andres didn't have a right to put up the flagpole, and the association filed a lien on the property to collect roughly $21,000 in attorneys' fees and legal costs expended in winning the case. Fine rejected the argument from the Attorney General's Office and issued a ruling Wednesday that found the association's right to file a lien against the property was established in 1982, when its covenants and bylaws were recorded in land records, six years before Andres purchased his home. West Palm Beach attorney Steven Selz, who represents the homeowners association, said the ruling makes sense. "There has to be a way to give the association a right to enforce its claims on the property," he said. Boca Raton attorney Barry Silver, who represents Andres, said he would file an appeal. Mediation has failed, while the attorneys' fees continue to pile up for both sides. "They find George to be very intransigent because he has the right to fly the flag, and they think he is stubborn because he fights for that right," Silver said. Selz said he hopes Andres decides to reach a settlement rather than face losing his home, which is scheduled to be auctioned on Oct. 9. Andres said previous settlement offers required more of a compromise than he was willing to make. "They said remove the flag and the flagpole, and that is not a compromise," Andres said. " I'm 66, and I don't have much left anyhow. We have to go ahead and fight." Peter Franceschina can be reached at [email protected] or 561-832-2894.

I became very excited when I first learned of the possibility of your candiacy! Finally I thought we have a person of character and individuality. Today I read Donna Brazile's comments and I am left to question is General Clark for real or is he merely another fellow who wants to be President? If the handlers like Ms. Brazile are THE CAMPAIGN General Clark needs to adjust to retirement in Arkanas. I listened to Ms. Brazile in Al Gore's campaign until I became sick with the whole mess. I voted for Gore because I am a Democrat. I worked 10 years for a North Carolina Congressman. During that time I watched the National Democrat Party and Governor Jim Hunt destroy the grassroots organization of N.C. And, reluctantly I must say President Clinton didn't help much with his folly. The truth is the Democrat Party is loosing its soul. We talk about our party being the party of common man when in fact we have been electing wealthy play boys who cunningly play the miniorties for their votes. But the party has forgotten the guy who gets up everymorning and goes to a job. A guy who struggles to pay county property taxes and who is happy to send his kids to public school or to private school if he can afford private school. He just wants to get through the day. He doesn't understand all about "gays" in the military he just wants a military when the country needs one. And as far as immigration is concerned he believes immigration has cost his neighboro his job and worries when his will be lost to NAFTA and immigration. General, I am 61 years old I have seen the idealistic and unrealistic come and go. I AIN'T as easy to fool as when I had youthful blind faith. I hope my bluntness will catch someone's attention and utimately yours and I really hope there are more Democrats who have made their real feelings know to you and others who would be the Democrat Candiate for President. While a Congressional campaign is a smaller effort compared to a Presidential campaign the basics are the same. I worked in 10 Congressional campaigns, I have served in Federal,State,County and Municipal Government. I ran for public office in a Republican dominated county and lost by 24 votes. I have worked in the trenches and I am tired of loosing! When I went to work for the Congressman I served, North Carolina had a significant majority Democratic Delegation in the House, now we have a significant minority Democratic delegation in the House. And with John Edward's folly we will most likely have 2 Repbulican Senators. Well, I have rambled on enough. Understandingly you will never read these sort of comments some shinney nosed college intern will have a laugh and tell his friends about it and this tired battered old country will wobble along. I just worry General, when will someone listen to the GRASSROOTS PEOPLE, not for political purposes but because they genuinely care about the United States. Finally General I hope you are a real man. Don't worry about what the experts think and say, remmber " the experts built the Titantic and an amatuer under God's direction built the Ark!" I will be watching to see if the Brazile's run your campaign to decide who to support. I suppose the "proof of the pudding" will be in what I hear and see in the next few days and the response my letter generates!

No General Clark. America does not need. You were a gutless wonder as a General. Did you ever stand up to Clinton while he was destroying the military. NO! And again NO!!! What could you possibly do as President except take America further down the road to ruin. Do America a favor. Take your overpayed, undeserved, retirement check and get out of public life. You're a clown!!! You proved that on CNN during the Gulf War. Granted, you may be able to win. After all, President Bush and the rest of the runners are determined to destroy our constitution as well. I doubt you'll send this to "General Clark".

I am praying that you will decide to run on 19 September. Only one thing worries me though, Howard Dean as your running mate should you win the Dem Nomination. I think having him on your ticket wouldn't be helpful in your bid for the White House because Mr. Dean is down right radical. I know running mates don't win elections but in this case might be the exception. Why? Because Dean is well known in the media for his far-leftist views and the media is going to lump you with him as "two peas in the same pod." I just have a gut feeling that you should avoid Dean, PERIOD!

General Clark, A few weeks ago I stopped in my tracks when I heard on CNN that you might run for President. I ran to the TV to see you. Before I had heard this, I wanted you to run for this office. The country needs you in 2004. I have always tuned into CNN when I knew you would be on because I feel that you are a very honest man and you obviously have a great passion for your country. I have been a Democrat all of my life and for the first time I knew this next election would be a hard choice. But it will not be difficult at all if your name is on the ticket. I could go on and on with the respect I have for you and how this country needs you to run for President, but I do not want to take up too much space. I do want you to know that I have been glued to the message boards on AOL concerning the war in Iraq, Bush and etc. I have read hundreds of these posts and just read last night where an 82 year old woman said she wanted to shoot her TV everytime she saw GW Bush on it. I have felt the same way since 2001. This man has lied not only to the American people, but to the entire world and this is not acceptable in any job. I don't know where they get their figures for these polls, but my poll says that Americans are fed up with George Bush and we already know the rest of the world is also fed up. Frankly, this President has embarrassed us in front of the world and they wonder why he is still in office. One more thing. The figures they come up with concerning unemployment is just not believeable and people on the internet say the same thing. We think it is above 10%. I am unemployed for the first time in my life and I am 48 years old, live alone, take care of my disabled sister and I have had Multiple Sclerosis for 17 years. I can't afford Healthcare of any kind, so that means no medicine or anything. I have no idea what I am going to do after my unemployment benefits expire. I am scared to death as many other people are too. But my golly the President doesn't have to worry about that, neither do the Senators or other elected officials. This war is the most important thing on this President's mind. What about this country and what it's citizens need? I was not for this war at this time and thought that he was just crazy to try to make us believe that Saddam had anything to do with the WTC terrorists attacks. When people don't have to go through unemployment, no medical insurance and don't have to worry about how they are going to live and where they will get their food for the week, then they just can't understand what it is like to be in this condition. I think that you are a very human man and seem very down to earth. We need you in the White House, so please do our country and the world a favor and run for President. How could one not vote for a man that has a smile like yours. Good Luck, General Clark General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

And help us show the world our best... and what our best really is. Help America to be as great as it once was, but now seems to flounder at becoming. Allow us to have a candidate truly worthy of our support, loyalty, trust, respect, appreciation and gratitude. Please give us a reason to go to the polls. America needs your services once again. The American people need you. Please do not turn a deaf ear upon the call. Serve... protect... lead... Please run for president. Signed with great respect

(Copy of E-mail I sent to those I know in support of you!) To all, Those who know me understand my direct opposition to Bush, Jr and his administration, but I have yet to discuss who I'd vote for in 2004, aka "America's Regime Change by Americans". Well I've been waiting for one person outside of Al Gore or Hillary Clinton to put their name into the race, and that person is General (ret.) Wesley K. Clark who will announce his intentions soon. I'm not a registered Republican or Democrat because I hate the exploitation of political parties at the expense of true leaders in leadership positions, but this Democratic candidate is the truth. Not only will he understand how to effectively and efficiently defend the United States foreign and domestically being a former four-star General; he will also understand the necessity of positive and powerful foreign relations being that he was once a Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Commander. He graduated first in his 1966 West Point Military Academy class and "holds a Master's Degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University where he was a Rhodes Scholar." That says a lot about his intellectual capacity to handle the "non-war" aspects of the Presidential duty. His ability to lead by example is already without question. Definitely do your research about him and every other candidate before you cast your ballot in 2004 for the candidate that best represents you and yours. But if you're lost about which Democratic candidate to vote for, or you want to find the best alternative to Bush, definitely give General Clark a serious look. He's entering the race somewhat late and has a lot of ground to cover, so PLEASE pass this e-mail along to as many people you know as possible because ignorance and a lack of being proactive proved our downfall in the 2000 election. If you want to display true patriotism, perform your civic duty as a citizen and don't allow that to happen again in 2004. For those of you that are still "sleeping in the Bushes", ask yourself the same question that Ronald Reagan once asked this nation during his 1980 campaign to be President: "ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE 4 YEARS AGO?" Thank You!

General Clark, This is your chance to save America from itself....you know what I'm talking about....America needs you and I know you will step up to the plate. You seem to me to be the only hope this country has right now....the last thing we need is another career politician who has been groomed to be president from age 2.....what we need is powerful leadership from someone who truly loves America and the American people and is prepared to make the decisions that will be the right thing to do....unguided by political self interest. You are not burdened with a political career voting history....you have an exceptional military record....you are articulate and powerful in presentation....in short....you are the man!.....get us out of the shit General....America needs you.

America needs a new president. A strong and intelligent individual with ideals and honor and purpose. America, my once proud and vibrant country, requires a leader who can truly lead our people - without the incessant drums of illegitimate warfare, unchecked corporate greed, and boundless governmental secrecy and deception. America needs to be told the TRUTH before it chooses - unanimously -to send its children into harms way. It must be told these truths honestly and consistently to regain a trust in its leadership and to dispel the learned helplessness of years past. The American people should never again be led into any crisis - real or, indeed, fabricated - without a full disclosure from its leaders as to the reasons for it. We, the people, need cogent, affordable health care, education for our youth, honorable assistance for our veterans, intelligent laws to govern us, and, at the very least, a realistic environment in which to procure a comfortable standard-of-living - for ALL individuals, not just the chosen few. We, the people of the United States of America, wish to regain a pride in our country - not out of blind faux patriotism, but for its intellect, its toil, and its honor. Please run for President of our country...and bring Howard Dean aboard for your running mate. General Clark, America NEEDS you.

Dear Wesley Clark, What a joy it was to see you this evening on the anniversary of 9/11 standing up for the right and importance of open debate in this country! I first saw you on the TIm Russert show prior to the Iraq war talking about this being an "elective" war --and way back then I wanted to know who you were talking sense at a time when no one else was. Later, hearing your unwaffling sincere opinions on a number of issues made me grateful for your existance. I am praying that you will choose to run for the presidency of this great country and help guide us all to making it the country it has the potential to be. In case you decide not to run I still wanted you to know that your voice of reason has given me hope again, replacing cynicism and dispair. I have never made a major monetary cibtribution to a political campaign before but I have pledged money to your campaign and just hope that I will have the opportunity to make good on that pledge. Best of luck to you in finalizing your decision. For the sake of our country I hope to be calling you President Clark in 2004! Sincerely, Susan Dannenfelser

Dear General Clark: Please do not make the dreadful mistake of accepting Gov. Dean's offer of Vice President. Gov. Dean is clearly a decent man but he is NOT going to be the next President - far too far to the Left. I would direct your attention to the experience of Sargent Shriver in 1972 - someone with great credentials who had never run for elective office before, who became the running mate of George McGovern, another decent man who could not be elected President in a million years. The trouncing that that ticket received is legendary, and Mr. Shriver never ran for anything again. Being Gov. Dean's running mate would NOT be a career builder. It is precisely because you have the unique qualifications to be able to neutralize so many of the standard GOP attacks as well as present a balanced, moderate vision for the county that YOU should be the Democratic PRESIDENTIAL candidate in 2004.

General Clark, I had the fortune of seeing you on Real Time with Bill Maher. I had pretty much given up on an interesting and worthy Democrat (I've consistently voted Democrat ever since I had the right to vote at 18), but I instantly gravitated to your charisma and solid sensibility. I know looks can be deceiving, but I definitely get a better feeling about our future when I hear you speak than when I hear President Bush speak. Far too often, I feel that President Bush speaks for others on his team, and doesn't have a strong passion in his body. Your body language was refreshing, and you didn't seem to talk from a rehearsed speech---you were quick on your feet with Bill Maher. Our nation needs someone who can get this country "back on track". I spent my college years living in Toronto, Canada, and I returned to the US filled with more optimism and hope than ever. I try not to let the current state of country get me down, but it's constantly weighing on my mind. One thing that's always surprised me is that whenever Democrats try to set some rules or regulations, it takes them forever to accomplish because of bi-partisan politics. Usually, Democrats make changes that benefit the majority, and not a precious few. It's scary when I see Republicans not only quickly reversing these steps forward, but making changes that can *not* be easily "undone" even by a new president or administration. I do not envy your tasks as president when you are elected--it will be a hard road, but you've come from a past of determination and pride. I guess you could call me more of an extreme lefty, and I hardly feel like settling for second best. From what I've seen, you've got what it takes to join the ranks of great presidents our country has been incredibly lucky to have.

Dear General Clark, Please don't run as Vice President under Howard Dean. That would be a waste and not likely to succeed against Mr. Bush. I may be projecting to much but you seem to have a unique quality that can help heal our troubled times. We need a little magic. If I may suggest something -- trying to tear down the President, as a strategy, will not succeed. He must simply be encouraged, in an atmosphere of sanity, to put down his weapon and come peacefully. I think fundementally that's want he wants. He is really just a frightened child who got himself into a jam. Just be sincere and put forth a sane agenda for the world --now that's not too much to ask is it (smile)-- and we can win. Sincerely, Joe Caradonna

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I cast my first presidential vote for Adlai Stevenson. I am a progressive but, I think, pragmatic Democrat. Several of the announced candidates have admirable credentials and attractive platforms. But, I simply have difficulty seeing any one of them as a solid bet to beat Bush. We need a candidate who is perceived as having stature and a great capacity for leadership, who can attract a significant part of the electorate which identifies Bush as a strong leader. I sense that Wesley Clark can do that. At the same time he must be credible as a real Democrat to the Democratic base. He must reach across the spectrum. He can't become essentially a DLC candidate. "Moderation" is not a bad word; "mainstream Democrat" would be a good description. But if he were to be seen by the base as "Republican lite," I don't think he could win, even with his strong credentials and impressive persona. I fervently hope, General Clark, to be quickly convinced that America needs you. Please run for president.

We are currently on a deadly collision course with the rest of the world, and I don't believe that any of the current Democratic candidates have the skills or talents to avert it. Perhaps no one can, but I believe that you are the only person available who is capable of credibly trying to make this nation one whose actions we can be proud of once more.

Dear Gen. Clark- Please, please, please run for President ! I have always heard your name during Kosovo, but had never seen you. When the Iraq war began, I was glued to CNN and saw you there. I was so impressed with you and said to myself, 'So, this is the guy !" I must tell you that after trying to listen to other retired generals give their points of view on other networks, none compared to your expertise. I felt calm when you explained what was going on. I could have listened to you talk 24/7. I was intending to vote for Mr. Dean, but if you run for President, you will have my vote, and my family's vote, too. We need someone like you in the White House to get America back to the norm again. I have been a nervous wreck since President Clinton left office. Please run for President !!!! Thank you !

We need him because, between our President, who has made some serious mistakes, and the 9 dwarfs running against him, he is the only one who can lead this country in these difficult times. If Clark does not get nominated, Bush is the only reasonable (and not a very good one) alternative.

Dear General Clark, I am wiritng to you on September 11th, as the import of this day settles upon us all. It is time for our nation to move towards a future where such actions are not neceeasry or possible, a world where such violence is not convceived because there is not the disparity and inequity that is the root cause of such desparation. I do not underestimate the challenge this represents, but likewise I do not want to wait to move in this direction, let alone in the opposite direction as not wseems the drift of events and rhetoric. Time is of the essence. From my observations of late, you are the person with the best chance of reversing our current direction and moving us towards a more viable and proactive one. I am one of many people that I know that will actively and vigorously suport your run for the presidency. Please know that we are behind you and ready to act and work towards a balanced and sustainable future-- economically, environmentally and socially. You are the choice we see for the presidency, the top position, not the vice presidency. There is too much at stake for us all to settle for less. We look forward to celebrating your announcement of canidacy and will work dilgently towards your election and all that that entails and all that will follow to ensure our nation's and the world's future.

Dear General Clark: The prospect of your running for president is the best news I have heard in a long time; I think you can bring the party together, and I think you can draw many more into the party from the Independents, the Greens, and moderate Republicans who find George W. Bush's conduct in office reprehensible. GWB's foreign policy is a disaster; he treats other countries and their leaders like they were riff-raff, then has the absolute gall to expect their cooperation in cleaning up the mess in Iraq. GWB's domestic policies are even worse; he claimed all through the last presidential campaign that he was a moderate on many issues (prime example: a woman's right to choose), but his administration has done nothing but strip and chip and clip away at government programs and settled law every chance they have had in order to appease the Republican/Christian Coalition/Right Wing. Meanwhile a budget surplus has, in less than three years' time, become a huge budget deficit! He and his big business cronies (Cheney chief among them) are trying to eviscerate government. GWB must be stopped. I think you are the man who can do it. Please run. This country needs a centrist/progressive with common sense and keen intelligence as well as command experience!

Sir, I saw the movie “Seabiscuit” and I thought of you….wait, let me briefly explain. As the disheartened and down trodden people of depression America became inspired by the story of the little horse that could, they also recognized an ally in the form of FDR. As the movie line went: they got back their courage and hope because they knew, finally, that someone cared---about them and the future of the country. I am reading “An American Life” (biography of Ben Franklin) and I thought of you. Ben had “faith in the wisdom of the common man and felt that a new nation would draw its strength from the middling people.” He also understood the need for civic virtue, so sadly lacking in the current administration. He believed, as I do, that the ruling class in America should be the ordinary people. My husband is a Vietnam Vet. We remember those hard years in our country, but always believed America’s people would find their way through. Right now we are fearful for America—for the same reasons that have caused you to consider the presidency. Please run. I have heard that your family is having a hard time with this. We cherish our family and understand that this is a hard thing to ask of them. We will work for your campaign ( we are two parents and four children) and all of us will vote for you (except the underage child!) We know we can convince many friends and family to vote for you if only their hope is restored that the true values (rather than the self serving, manipulated ones embraced by this current administration) on which our country was founded will shine through again.

Dear General Clark, I have grown up in politics, my father was a Congressman from 1938 to 1948. I served in the Air Force from 1966 to 1970. I saw half of my tech school class die in Vietnam. I know what means to serve one's country. Sir, every once in a while a man or woman comes along that is chosen to lead. Sir in our time that is you. For the sake of 260 million people, please get off the fence and declare yourself. You will see millions line up behind you. You will see funds pour in like you never dreamed possible. General Clark, there is 227 years of a country at stake, please! Thank You Brian Sheridan West Bend, WI

General Clark: I strongly support your candidacy for president and am interested in working for you fulltime in Oklahama. I feel that I could contribute greatly to establishing a "Clark for President" organization in each of Oklahoma's 77 counties by 31 Oct 03. I am a math teacher with an MBA in Finance. I flew with the 3/17th Air Cav in 1971 as a 1LT and served as a MALO for USMA from 1989 through 1997. Oklahama can be an early primary win! I look forward to visiting with you or an appropriate member of your staff. Sincerely, Bert Smith P. S. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, I have just recently become aware of your potential as a candidate for the upcoming election. I would like to add my support and vote for you if you decide to run. You are a man who is obviously aware of duty to country with such a distinguished career of service. It would be very easy to sit back and let the country sort itself our without you, but I qwould like to personally urge you to act. I am 26 years old and newly married, I love this country sir, but I am afraid of what is being done to it by the current administration. I plan to have children soon and I worry for them as future Americans, what will their lives be like as a result of another four years with President Bush in charge? I have felt powerless and saddened by politics of late, but perhaps you are the answer to the countries prayers. I believe in your ability to help this country. My mother worked in the same office as several refugees from Kosovo, who thanked President Clinton and the American armed forces for helping them. They told my mother that without the help of the US military and President Clinton they would have been killed. you have already saved people and served your country, won't you help us again? We need you. Your service record could hold up under conservative attack and your leadership could help America out of the appalling circumstances we find ourselves in. I cannot imagine what a decision like this must be like, but know that you would not be ding it alone. I believe people would see what I see in you, a new hope. You have already gone above and beyond the call of duty for one lifetime, but I am asking you not to rest on your laurels and to help our country once again. I wish you all the luck in the world in this tiem of decision. Hopefully, Emily Ensor Louisville, KY

At the moment I feel that our allies do not understand our government's current approach. You have the experience, and the ability to lead our country out of these difficult times.

Dear General Clark: As the hour grows near in which you will decide on whether or not to run for the Presidency, I would like to take this opportunity to say something that I have yet to hear, or read, concerning the reasons why you should run ... By virtue of what happened on September 11th, 2001, this great country, by no fault of the current or previous administrations, is for years to come, going to be on a "war footing" ... I have always, when considering my vote, looked first and foremost, at a particular candidates service in our mighty armed forces, as a basis for how well I think they can serve as our Commander In Chief ... You, General Sir, are not only exceptionally well qualified as a Servant of the Public Interest of The United States, you have the very unique honor of having been a Commanding General during conflict, as well as having the trust, and most importantly, RESPECT of those we consider to be our allies, and even those we consider to be our enemies ... General Sir, in short ... Since what I stated earlier about our countrys' future in the years to come, is something that all citizens of the US should consider ... It is only prudent that we look to an EXPERIENCED, LOYAL LEADER, with TRUE MILITARY COMMAND EXPERIENCE, to take the helm during the tough times ahead ... There are those who say that they would like you to "suit up again" ... As I fully believe that you well know General Sir ... A true soldier never really takes the uniform off in the first place ... Please run for the Presidency ... There has never been a time in which our country needs your leadership more ... Respectfully ... James A. Searl

I think you are in a unique postion, having served as a high-ranking military general as well as having a successful business career; and have demonstrated a well-balanced perspective that I think would serve this country well.

I heard you on television many months ago speaking about how we need to relate to other countries, and I thought, "This is the man who could bring sanity and hope to our country and the world." If you decide to run, I will definitely spread the word as best I can. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

Dear General Clark, I have never contributed to any campaign but I have pledged to support you and am printing out posters for my daughter to hand out to her teachers and to pass out to her friends so they can take them home to their parents. She's in high school and wishes she were old enough to vote, but she wants to do whatever she can. I don't see that any of the other Democratic candidates have what it takes to defeat Bush. I wouldn't feel any enthusiasm to vote for any of them. I feel it is a joke and an insult that Dean would ask you to be his running mate. You are clearly the better man by far. I know it's got to be a hard decision to make, but I really believe you can be what turns this whole world situation around in a positive direction. I just can't see any hope any other way. Should you decide to run you will have the active support (financially and physically) of me, my husband, my daughter, my sister and her husband. If you can make activists out of all of us, believe me, you can do anything. Respectfully, Martha McGowen

General Clark, With all due respect, the former Govenor of Vermont is a lightweight. He needs you more right now than the other way around. He's not the top of the ticket, sir. He has been given enormous media attention and yet it has not translated into anything close to an unstoppable groundswell of support. The Democratic Party and this country are still very much in need of a leader. Where you offer thoughtful, subtle, articulate positions, he offers brash, superficial sound bytes. In Dean's background, there are some unfortunate parallels with George W. Bush (where did they spend the Viet Nam war?). The U.S. Presidency should not be the province of privileged dilettantes that are full of bravado but lack experience. This is no time for on the job training. These are serious times that demand serious tested leadership. Smart does matter. Allies matter. Unemployment matters. General Clark, you defended and served this country for over three decades-- in difficult times and at personal sacrifice. America has been your life's work please serve us with another tour of duty! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. P.S. I have never sent a letter to an Editor let alone approached a retired SACEUR. I feel compelled to do this rather than complain/worry for the next four years.

I often apeace myself with the belief that, as bad as one side might be, it is necessary in order to offset too much of the other side. I must live with this since it is so difficult to find balance and moderation in one individual (at least in politics). Why must everyone be so fanatical about his or her own views? General Clark, you are most certainly intellectually qualified. Your amazing history of service and sacrifice makes you a national hero whether you run or not. If you feel that you are the even-keeled voice of leadership this country so badly needs, please take the helm.

Fire Mission Over! Selfrightous, ignorant, wanna-be texan (all hat and no cattle), Whitehouse squatter, wooden-puppet in the open! Fire for effect! General Clark, it is two years today since the World Trade Center & Pentagon tragedies. Despite what Bush's neo-con puppet master's would have us believe (especially that little slimy s@#t Wolfawitz), the world is by no means safer. Not only have we now made more enemies, and quite likely created another seedbed for terrorism in Iraq, we have arrogantly pissed off our allies. The country at home, our commitments and responsibilities abroad are in urgent need of leadership. It is imperative that America be led by a President with common sense and moderation in these dangerous and uncertain times. You sir, are that man. General Clark, your country has great need of you. It is a dark and frightening hour, but I believe that you alone have the wherewithall to set the correct azmuith to truly make this country (and hopefully some of the rest of the word) a happier and safer place to live. You will make a fine President. As the Ft. Benning Black Hats used to say, "stand up...hook up...stand in the door" General Clark!

America needs a new president. One man of integrity who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. One who knows that the real meaning of the term "sacrifice" does not include ducking out when it is your turn to serve any more than it means sending others to be sacrificed. One who will not base critical decisions upon an analysis of the costs/benefits for their chief financial supporters, understanding that while prostitution may be legal in Nevada, it is not acceptable from the White House. One who has the guts to speak his mind when asked for an opinion, rather than parroting the answer he believes will cost him the fewest votes. (One who can speak a complete sentence without pausing to read cue cards that someone wrote for him would be appreciated too....) I am not better off than I was four years ago, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan's campaign query. I suspect that about 90% of Americans are in the same boat. We need government of the people; of all the people. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

To this day there has been no truthful disclosure concerning the government’s knowledge of and response to the September 11 attacks. No one has been held accountable for what would on the surface appear to be the most catastrophic intelligence failure in US history. The revelations that have surfaced through the tightly restricted official inquiries and in the pages of a press that is cowed and corrupted only begins to shed light on what are undeniably criminal actions by the administration. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times.

I saw an interview with you on T.V. a month or so ago, and I said to my wife, "There is a man that I would vote for, without hesitation." So I am hoping that you will make the choice to run for president. There are not a lot of people that spark the feelings of trust and honesty and security right away, as I felt from your interview. You would make a president that I would look forward to hearing, and could be proud of. General Clark, the world needs you and the gifts that you could bring to this office. Please run for president.

I was very excited today when I discovered that you may even be considering running for president! During the last elections, I found Al Gore wooden even though I agreed with much of his platform. I also felt that George W. Bush, while obviously not so bright, was more sincere and basically innocuous, even though I did not vote for him. Now, I am scared. I feel that having him as our president, as our leader in the world is dangerous. The events of September 11 would have happened no matter who was president; but I feel that how this administration has dealt with the threat and tied it to the war in Iraq is irresponsible and short-sighted. I am concerned for our children and their children; that they will have to face a "9-11" of their own some 15-20 years down the road by ill will that the present administration has actually fomented abroad. This must stop. Have we learned nothing from the events of September 11? This administration sees the world in "black" and "white", "good" vs. "evil". This can be dangerous. True, some things are simple, but most issues are not. And this administration seems only interested in "preventing" another attack by physical force rather than trying in ANY way to address some of the root causes. As long as there are people in this world who wish us ill, they will find ways of doing us harm. I'd like to see our government do more to foster positive relations -- not only with the GOVERNMENTS of foreign nations, but the PEOPLE of those countries. I think that in the long run, diplomatic efforts via programs like the Peace Corps and educational exchanges, for example, can do more good for our country than any military invasion. I am scared. I feel less safe today than I did when George W. Bush became president. I feel that the current tension with North Korea is a direct cause of his State of the Union address. We all knew that we were not good friends; but I feel it was unnecessary and very counterproductive to name names, and put them on a "list": the "axis of evil". This served only to upset them and put them on the defensive. How else should we have expected them to react? This type of rhetoric would be impossible to imagine coming out of the government of ANY of our Western Allies. This is not leadership; this is recklessness. We NEED someone in the White House who is a DIPLOMAT; that won't bad-mouth our allies when they disagree with us (which, by the way, was regarding a VERY important issue, that their arguments were not without reason, and that their arguments were shared by MANY Americans). We need a president who realizes that being able to see things from the many sides does NOT make you unpatriotic! We need someone who will stand firm based on principals, will not use our military force in a way that the world will rightly see us as hypoctrites. This is the most important issue for us as a country. I encourage you to join our democratic process in any way you can. We need more intelligent voices in the current national debate. I understand that they may not be the most popular, but the voice of reason and truth and compassion and common sense MUST be heard. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter, William McIlwain

General Clark: Americans are individuals committed together to respect for all mankind and consequently respect for every person's unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We need leadership to protect this liberal idea of civil rights. We are liberal on civil rights, conservative on fiscal policy and cautiously hopeful that our ideals will be accepted and promoted around the world. We need leadership and balance, domestic and foreign. We need a Democrat who understands the tribal nature of foreign peoples, who can examine our place in the world with more than just a post Vietnam era aversion to using force when necessary, while balancing that obligation with the misery force leaves behind. Other than pay for membership in the Democratic party I consider myself a member of the silent majority, one who doesn't vote for a candidate because of party. I am not one who jumps to work on the campaign of the leading Democrat and have little experience with campaigns. Nonetheless, if you take on the daunting task of running for President, I offer my time and energy in helping you get elected. If you annouce your intention, please tell me how I can get involved.

General Clark, I recently watched the Democratic Presidential candidates debate on television. Shortly after, I saw and heard you for the first time on the Bill Maher show on HBO. By far, you are the most attractive potential Presidential candidate. I was impressed with your candor, your clear, concise thougths, your eloquence, and your firm opinions on the things that you beleive in. If the candidacy were up to me, you are my choice. If you run for president, you will have my vote. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, Please do not accept any offer for the Vice Presidency. This would constitute a rather tragic waste of your potential for ousting the Republican President. Respectfully sir, be very clear: I am absolutely NOT interested in the other Democratic candidates, especially Howard Dean. Chief among them, he is unelectable, undisciplined, even reckless. I applaud your moderate positions and respect your opinion and authority in foreign affairs. Howard Dean attracts the far left wing, the unrealistic, and the uninformed simply because he is willing to "talk tough." In all seriousness, he assumes the stature of a yammering puppy next to you. Allowing yourself to be co-opted into the Dean dead-end campaign would be sad indeed. Please run - for President, and please announce soon so that I may get behind you as quickly as possible.

A Word of Encouragement to General Clark - When it was "decided" that Mr. Bush would "take" office, I put aside all politics as it was in the best interest of our country. Since then, life in this country has changed and not for the better. I love my country, but in light this administrations disasterous foreign policy, I have never been more embarrased to be an American. I am increasingly concerned with the course our nation is on, more importantly, I am appalled by the arrogance of our leader and his administration. Where is the vision, the leadership, the compassion? Do you have a vision for this great nation? Can you speak as the voice of America with intelligence, not arrogance? Do you understand that being a leader means more than throwing money and troops at the world's problems? If so, I'd encourage you to "throw your hat in the ring." I look forward to learning more about you.

General Clark, I am a 31 year old pediatrician and a mom. I am worried about the way our country is interacting with the rest of our world. I think we need experienced leadership to take control of the situation. I an worried that we are escalating tensions in much of the world, not creating peace. I am unhappy that my son's generation will bear the expense of the huge deficit that is being created by the president's tax cut to the wealthy. Another, more immediate concern for my son's generation is the cuts to important government programs for education and guaranteed health insurance programs for children. I pledge to support your candidacy with my time and resources. I have never been involved in a campaign before, but I feel it has never been more important. I hope you will come to the same decision. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Although I believe several of the announced candidates possess many of the qualities it takes to be President, I don't feel any of them can take the Democratic Party into victory in 2004. Your all around experience and record of service to this country are what it will take to remove George W. Bush from the White House and make this country the very best it can be. The Democratic Party can waste no more time preparing for the 2004 Election. Announce your candidacy now, and you will have a new "army" of dedicated people who trust that you will lead America in the right direction. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for President.

Dear General Clark, In the White House now we have the worst president in our history -- worse than James Buchanan (the previous holder of the 'honor'), worse than Warren G. Harding, worse than Richard Nixon. He and his pals have managed to besmirch the reputation of the U. S. A. amongst not only our enemies, but also our allies. He accuses democrats of SAYING things that he says amount to "class warfare", while his administration is at the very same time ACTUALLY CARRYING OUT class warfare by forcing through huge tax cut windfalls for those in the 99th percentile of income and wealth. The Bush administration has carried deliberate deception to new levels of effrontery. Falsehoods and omissions about the "immediate" need for minlitary action in Iraq, about the effects of the tax giveaway program, about the air quality in NYC after 9-11, about Al Qaeda's connection to the Ba'athist regime in Iraq. Refusals to tell the American people about just who is controlling our energy policy, to tell us how much post war Iraq might cost. Do the American people really deserve such conduct from their highest officials? These are the same people who professed such crocodillian horror at Bill Clinton's misdeeds in his personal life. Though his personal conduct was far less than one might have wished, it did not constitute a high crime or misdemeanor --if for no other reason than that it did not constitute misconduct in his official duties. President Bush, however, has issued deliberate lies to support his policy of unilateral aggression. That conduct is a high crime. It has killed Americans, it has killed Iraqis, it has sullied the reputation of the nation and turned army personnel into targets in a shooting gallery Bush needs to be defeated next fall. You can do it. And much as I usually fear the idea of a military officer as president, you have, as best I can tell, shown a commitment to democracy and to the real ideals of America. You cannot be shouted down on the basis of lack of sophistication or experience in foreign affairs or military exigency as might be the case with some of the other democrats who are seeking the nomination. I have no doubt that Karl Rove fears no one as an opponent to Bush more than you. He, I suspect, knows that your candidacy will soon put Bush into the role as underdog and then, more importantly, into the role of one term president. Please run. We need you.

General Wesley Clark; I urge you to jump into the Democractic Presidentail primary contest with both feet, for the following reasons: Your C.V. and Nato experience show that you are amply qualified for the presidency. You will be a far more formidable challenger to Pres. Bush than any of the present Democractic contenders, and you won't carry the political baggage that those others do. You are in the best position to take the high moral road that I believe we must now take: after setting Iraq to rights - with UN and allied help - we must curb the profligate running of our counrty on borrowed money, at the expense of our progeny. I urge you to run. Sincerely, Leonard J. Rosenfeld

General Clark, So far, I have been extremely disappointed in the field of Democratic candidates for president. "Tell it like it is" people like Howard Dean can get people excited with their enthusiasm, but once the clever sound bites are done, there doesn't seem to be much substance to the man. I cringe at the thought of 4 more years of GW, his war-mongering and his seemingly complete contempt for anyone except the richest 1% of America. But none of the current candidates do anything for me. None of them excite me. Hell, even Al Gore excited me - not because of his campaigning, but because I knew he would make a good president. I was beginning to accept the fact of another 4 years of GW. But then I saw you just a few weeks ago. I had never heard of you or the movement to Draft you before then. But I was instantly hooked. I read the websites. And then I saw you on MSNBC. General, you inspire me! Some of the other candidates may be good men (I'm not forgetting about Carol. I'm from Illinois - I know what a joke she is.), but they walk around like they are reading from cue cards with positions based off of poll results. When you speak, I hear someone speaking from the heart. Someone who seems as saddened as I am that this great country of ours has become a bumbling idiot in world affairs - dropping bombs first and asking questions later. General, you have given your country more years of great service than most Americans and I shouldn't ask you for anything more. But I am asking. Because this country needs you now. It needs you to reverse the terrible damage this administration has done with it's "You're with us or against us" politics. Not only do I think you are the best candidate for this election and the most impressive candidate I've witnessed in my voting years, but I believe you are the ONLY one who can beat Bush. General Clark, PLEASE run for president. Thank you.

Like countless other Democrats, my husband and I have been searching for that one candidate who we feel is sure to unseat George Bush. To do so, that candidate must possess superior skills as a commander, at home and abroad, while remembering to listen while he leads. We've both done our research and read many reports, longing to give our allegiance to a candidate we can believe in and trust. And while the pool of democratic presidential candidates is full of accomplished and driven contenders, we both sincerely believe only you have what it takes to win in 2004. Can we count on you, General Clark? Please run for president.

America needs a new president. We need a president who is able to make reasonable decisions because he has the intelligence to understand "right and wrong" rather than simply uttering the words as a meaningless catch phrase. We need a president who is able to make difficult policy decisions relying on a combination of personal experience and a reasoned analysis of the available evidence. We need a president with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. We need a president who can revive the stature of America as a free and independent state while simultaneously working with other nations to improve the state of the world. We need someone who can rekindle the relationships with our allies, whom we have insulted, ignored, and isolated. Most of all, we need a president who can restore the faith in our great nation for those of us who are questioning how our country's leaders could have led us so far astray during the past several years. We need a president to bring integrity, intelligence, and vision to the White House. General Clark, America does need you. Please run for president. You already have my support.

Dear General Clark, As a 17-year member of the Air Force, who happens to be a female Democrat, I find it difficult to fully express how excited I am at the prospect of having you run (and elected) as our nation's new Commander in Chief. To think this country may have the opportunity to vote for someone who is conscious of the real issues effecting America - such as the need for increased revenue in order to rescue social programs which aid the plight of our homeless and unemployed; and how a woman's right to choose has been whittled away over the years to the point that it has become a judge's right to choose for her - and who understands the importance of taking care of the men and women serving in the Armed Forces... well sir, I am overwhelmed at the thought of the tremendous possibilities which would only benefit this great country. Many friends and co-workers ask how I can be both a Democrat and a military member. For me the answer is simple, patriotism is not exclusive to the Republican party. In my view, those who believe it is are ignorant as to the many achievements made by Democrats who recognized the importance of a strong military; don't they remember which party FDR belonged to? Well, I remember. And it is this very reason why I am taking the time to do something I have never done in my entire life - write to a politician. General Clark, you are the candidate this party, and this country, needs. Despite the opinions of many "experts", I do not believe it is too late for you to throw your hat into the ring. The American people are smart and are searching for someone they can put their faith in. If you develop a plan to address the issues and make them well known to the voters, you will be heard and not forgotten. I know you are a busy man and may not even have an opportunity to read this. However, I pray that somehow this reaches your desk in the hopes that you will understand just how important your candidacy is to so many people. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

America needs a new president. Most thinking people who are not under the spell of Karl Rove's propaganda and his media talk radio/cable TV echo chamber know this. I am a Democratic precinct committeman who will work, work, to get George Bush out of the White House. Just pointing a finger at Bush won't be enough, even if he deserves more than just fingers pointing at him, namely a jail term for lying to Congress, the UN, and the American people. What your candidacy would bring is a candidate that you could sell to even the most die-hard Republican. They have nothing to criticize you on - they could accuse you of being a "liberal" but that wouldn't work because most Americans would want their children to all grow up and be a liberal if you are what that is. So they have nothing negative to bring against you. But boy, do we have negative stuff against Bush and his neo-con armchair warriors with their fancy think tank theories. negative stuff against Bush and his best buddy Kenny Boy Lay - type CEO crook cronies. negative stuff against Cheney and his smug, arrogant, secretive ways. These guys have a very negative record. YOu have character, experience, service, integrity, honor, and much more to offer. You are needed and needed now.

Your candidacy will inspire both in me... and I do not believe that I am the only one who feels that way. We need you General Clark. Please run for PRESIDENT.

Please run for president, you are the calm we need in the storm we are running from. As a long standing registered Democrat you are the only one I can honestly see defeating President Bush. I have one reservation as a SOUTHERNER, it disturbs me that you would consider teaming up with Howard Dean - he would not do well in the South because of his stand on gay marriage. A team up with Dean would seriously hurt your chances in this part of the country. Just my thoughts, good luck and hope you JUMP IN.

General Clark, I listened to you on a recent NPR interview. For the first time in several years, I heard a potential leader with intelligence, moderation, and a keen understanding of the issues. I believe our nation is facing a crisis of leadership of magnitude equal to that faced in the Depression and World War II. The right leadership emerged then. I believe you are the the person for the present crisis. I urge you to run for President.

I am thrilled to hear that you may soon announce your decision to run for president. Not only do I agree with you on the issues, but I've been most impressed with your appearances on cable news shows. We very much need for someone to step forward and raise the tone of political discourse in this country, someone who will genuinely focus on reaching beyond partisanship and lobbyists to find the best possible solutions for the many difficulties we face today. I have strong hopes that you can be that sort of leader, one who sees assuming the job of President as performing a profound act of service to the American people and the world and our shared future. Please run. I think that if you take that step, a groundswell of support will greet you.

General Clark, You have the integrity and leadership to bring our country back to its greatness. Please run for the presidency, accept nothing less than that. We are all awaiting your decision. I attended the meetup in Northen Virginia and there was a cross section of America there interested in your candidacy - young people, older folks, former military, women, African Americans, and even a Canadian immigrant hoping to be able to vote by the time the election rolls around. The enthusiasm was wonderful, with most folks there stating that they had never been this involved in an election, but felt compelled to come out because of you. This is what democracy is all about. I pray that you run. You will have my full support and will get my vote. Leslie Meaux

General Clark, have you seen this: September 11, 2003 -- SEN. Hillary Clinton is keeping the door open to running for president next year in order to scare off support for Wesley Clark. "The last thing the Clintons want is for a Democrat from Arkansas to defeat Bush next year," says our spy about the ex-general who is expected to announce his candidacy next month. At a dinner at her house in Chappaqua Sunday, Sen. Clinton teased her most generous donors by coyly requesting they contribute to "my next campaign, whatever that may be." Our source adds, "The Clinton master plan is for a Hillary candidacy in 2008 and they will subtly sabotage the Democratic candidate in 2004. That's why they insist on keeping their personal operative, Terry McAuliffe, in charge of the Democratic committee." --NY Post You already know you must help us stop Bush's agenda of helping his rich pals, and himself, while eliminating the middle class, and creating a culture of sheep in the name of patriotism. Now there's an enemy closer to home. Stop the Clinton agenda - its all about them and never mind the good of the country, or the party. We will back you - unless theres something absolutely horrendous in your past you've got to run - you or Hillary? no contest.

America need new, rational leadership. Leadership that measures up to the challenge of our uncertain times. A voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. Leadership with varied experience and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. I am an independent, decorated United States Army Gulf War combat veteran (Armor 24th ID - 2nd BGD) and would join the Democratic Party in order to assist Gen Clark in attaining the position of US President. I feel that Gen Clark's opinions on the environment and health care would a refreshing change and present a chance at a more equal, bright American future. I believe that the General, through his experience, would be prudent with the sword, knowing the value of life and sacrifice. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I am just a common everyday person, who is so tired of hearing how horrible America has become since George Bush became president. I am also sick to death of most of the cable news station shows that are trying so hard to make democrats feel ashamed and stupid. My husband and I live on less than $40,000.00 a year. Some of that comes from social security and my disability retirement from the State of N.H.. No tax rebate for us. We need to have a president that puts the ordinary citizens in this country on equal par with the rich. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

I am most concerned about the next leader of the USA, having a wellspring of common sense....intellect is fine, though without a good firm grip on common sense and honorable ethics it does nothing for anyone! Your stance on the environment and the wastefulness in our country is what I am also concerned about. And most of all the role the banking system plays in this area! I feel that it is at the helm of alot of destructivness that has taken place on our planet, and at the same time it also holds the grand solution. The current administration's game plan for the entire world is to take control of all the resources....oil, gas, electric, water....and whatever else they can get their puny hands on.....of course the people bring this on themselves by not paying heed and keeping the human population balanced with the rest of the plantary systems and life forms. We keep popping off babies...and opt for quantity instead of quality.. I would like to see a President who does not have a little king mentality, and understands what it is really going to take to help change the way we do business with each other and the international community! Can you fill this prescription? The old adage...Give a human being power to see what their character is really about....has never had a false impression made! Best Star Ibis-Meigs

America is in troubled times and needs a new leader immediately. As a two-year Americorps member, I have seen the effect of Bush's mis-management, from mentoring youth whose family members have been murdered in Iraq, to watching community programs dissolve because of lack of funding imposed by Bush's erroneous tax cuts. We need to stop the Bush administration from achieving a second term, and I fear the Democratic field is too widespread. You would make an excellent leader I know it, but if you were to team up in some way with Gov. Dean, you two would be unstoppable in any field. We must not debate each other, but unite and fight this present administration for they are truly wrong. Clark and Dean, Dean and Clark.....either way you look at it assures victory in 2004. Please unite the Democrats.

We are in dire need of leaders like you who understand the spiritual, political, material, social and economic needs of the American people--not as self-serving & pompous persons, but as world citizens co-existing with others and Nature. We have had enough of narrow-minded ideologies dictating our policies and agendas and of all the lies told to the public.

Dear Gen. Clark: I'm writing this letter on the 2nd anniversary of 9/11 and, as I sit here reflecting on that terrible day, I thought about everything that has happened since. This country is in trouble. At it's head, we have a neoconservative administration that has lied to the american people, to congress, to the world. we've waged war against a country that was of no threat to us,(actually 2 countries) and the bush administration knew it. They are simultaneously grossly violating domestic and international law, scaring the hell out of the american people to keep us off-balance and dependent, and stripping us of the civil liberties afforded us under the united states constitution. And why? for oil. For the personal enrichment of Bush, Cheney, and all his neocon, halliburton, bechtel, PNAC buddies. Time for it to stop, and you can stop it. Please run for President of The United States, and bring us back from the brink. You have the support of americans and humanity worldwide. Good Luck. p.s. Howard Dean would make a great V.P. p.p.s. Watch out for those diebold voting machines, they can be hacked and the vote tallies changed.

Dear Gen. Clark - I am a former Republican (all my life) who recently registered as a Democrat. I am finished with the Republican party. It has sold its soul to special interests and corporations at the expense of average American citizens. I have been watching the debates among Democratic presidential hopefuls and have come to the conclusion that your voice needs to be heard. I would like you to be the Democratic nominee for president. The country needs your expertise and your truthful, credible perspective and leadership. We need a president who understands that the peoples of the world are one - that we should be building bridges between the United States and other nations instead of tearing them down in the name of the "war on terror." We also need a president who truly has compassion for ALL Americans who deserve better public education, healthcare services and sound infrastructures in their cities and towns for their hard earned tax dollars. We all know Bush's war on Iraq was an ill-conceived, politically motivated misadventure. It's going to take someone of your stature and credibility tell Americans the truth and lead us from the dangers into which the Bush doctrine of pre-emption has placed us. You are a man who has served the country well - and I hope you will be able to continue to do so as the President of the United States. Thank you. Sincerely, Nancy Northrop

General Clark, I first learned of you in a meaningful way when I read an article about you in Esquire magazine. After finishing it, I thought, "if only this man would run for President...we NEED someone like him." I am a baby boomer born in the 1950's, and forged my social and polictical awareness during the 1960's. Not since the Vietnam war and Watergate eras have I felt as much alarm and deep concern about the state and future of my country as I do now. An insidious set of conditions now exists that requires nothing less than a revolution in thinking, principles and action to reverse. I believe one of the primary reasons we've gotton into the predicaments we're in is a signal and sustained lack of leadership and strength of purpose & position on the part of the Democratic Party. Because of this, a huge number of potential constituents have been alienated, and a pervasive apathy has poisoned an already compromised process of election. Our country is at grave risk on many levels, and I urge you to run, and run hard, for President in 2004. Thanks for listening.

We need someone with a new vision for the future, not the "onward to yesterday" rhetoric and actions of the present administration. Earl R. "Randy" Rice CW2 US Army (Retired)

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I feel you are the only one who may be able to extricate us from the mess in Iraq. Please know there are millions of us who are looking for a man like yourself to save our country in this chaotic time. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, We need a leader, and someone who cares about the future of the United States and its people... not someone who only cares for special interest groups, his own ego, and corporate sponsors. PLEASE help the people of America with open-minded values keep our rights. Please step in and stop the foreign policy madness that is going on right now, making us the most hated country in the world, with a jingo-istic leader who is carte blanche acting on the behalf of his cronies without a care for the rest of us "little guys." We need a good leader with LONG TERM vision, and you are the only potential candidate with the right credentials in the democratic race with a real chance to beat George W. Bush. Save us from suffering another four years under his mismanagement and PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT! The Democratic Party needs a leader like you!! The American people need you!

I think you'll be an excellent president. Your ideas and platform on foreign affairs will bring the United States back on track. America has a lot to lose if you don't run and an entire world to gain if you are elected president in 2004. I find that you represent common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I don't wish to complain about the sitting president, but he has changed our position in the world community. His family's economic ties to the Saudis raises serious questions for me about possibly using the American political process and indeed our entire country to further his family's personal economic agenda. Further, the declared Democratic candidates are risking America's diplomatic position with the United Nations and the remaining allied countries of the world by severely criticising the quality of decisions made by President Bush. I would challenge you, as an extension of your prior service and in light of the wisdom you have gained, along with your proven ability to lead, to accept the responsibility to help lead our country in these novel troubled times. I would also recommend a different stance and a unique approach in getting your message out to the American people, and indeed to the entire world. Please consider not employing the tactics of the present declared candidates - trying to look good by tearing down the sitting President unnecessarily (the things said have provided much useful rhetoric for our enemies, as well as weakened our position of solidarity in our beliefs and continued commitment as a country). What I would suggest is taking the high road. Do not openly disparage President Bush with second guessing and acusations, rather lead us from where we are and give the American people a credible, reasonable roadmap for our future. Build hope based upon common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. I am joining many others in suggesting very strongly that you consider serving once again in the role you have trained for all of your life.

Dear General Clark, We are hungry for an articulate, strong leader. We need someone who is above reproach as a man and as a leader. We need someone who cannot be attacked as a leftie. We need someone unafraid to stand up and reclaim the noble term liberal - not as a label, but as a philosophy of good and reasoned thought. We need you. Please, General Clark, answer this call and bring us to the polls, not as a defensive and reluctantfoes of right wing demagoruery, but as a passionate and positive populace eager to take back the soul of our nation.

The tie that has been broken with this alliance is taxing upon our country, and cannot be repaired with the current administration. With your leadership, our alliance with the UN can be repaired. The safety and stability of our country can only be fixed with a strong president. General Clark, you can offer our nation these qualities. I implore you to run for president.

You embody many of the qualities that many great American presidents have shared: integrity, a military background, experience in foreign affairs, proven leadership ability combined with a compassion for winning. The combination of these attributes, in conjunction with a moderate democratic platform of social issues is exactly what this nation needs to build bridges and consensus with the rest of the world community while helping those less fortunate at home. I hope you will carefully consider running for president. Sincerely, Carter Burns

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I am so sick of listening to George W., aperson who had his father put him in the Texas N. Guard to avoid going to Viet Nam and then going A.W.O.L., when I was in the service I was told that during wartime, this is an act of treason, so where was the court martial and D.D. Then to have his fathers appointed judges on the supreme court give him the presidency. He has spent more time fund raising than he has visiting our wounded men at Walter Reed Hospitel. He went there today, a photo op., he has been to Fl. 19 times since his appointment as president gathering up funds for his reelection. Enough is enough, Get in the race Gen. Clark. Good luck.

General Clark, America needs a new president. One who has vision, proven leadership, courage of conviction, integrity and sensitivity. I believe you possess these traits, and I urge you to consider entering the race for president. It is obvious in your brief television appearances over the past few weeks that you clearly understand the problems facing this country and can connect with the ever-silent majority of people who yearn for honesty in our President and intelligent, thoughtful leadership in our foreign and domestic policies. Those qualities are sorely lacking in this administration. Further, none of the Democratic candidates for President possesses the aforementioned qualities to the degree that you do. General Clark, America needs you. Our allies need you. Our current and potential adversaries need to be dealt with by a man like you. Please run for president.

General Clark- America is in need of a leader that truly represents the American people. Americans are honest, hard working, intelligent and not afraid to be held accountable for their actions. To withstand the difficult times we now face, we need a leader that can articulate to the world what we stand for, and how we want the world to value America, and its position in the global community. We need a person of character, not one who obfuscates the realities of terrorism, budgets and deficits, tax cuts, foreign policy, energy policies, individual liberties, states rights, and special interests. General Clark, we need your experience, integrity, vision and leadership to move this country in a new direction.

Dear General Clark, After 9/11/01 I received a wake-up call. I had been sleepwalking through life in a career I didn't particularly like, in a Midwestern city that was comfortable, but offered no intellectual stimulation. I had always been very interested in current events and foreign affairs, but had ignored those passions for years. Instead of pursuing something in international politics, I got an MBA in marketing, and a good job. But after 9/11 it became obvious to me I needed a change, and needed to follow my passions. I sold my house, moved to Washington, D.C., and am now taking graduate foreign affairs classes at Georgetown University (I also studied at Oxford over the summer, and now even further appreciate your credentials). And for the record, I am 42, not 25 or 30. I believe that at some point in the past two years, you received a similar wake up call. Every time I have seen you say "I'm thinking about it and will make a decision soon" to someone like Tim Russert or Wolf Blitzer, I felt like you believed in your heart that you had a passion you had been ignoring - you wanted to run. Obviously there are serious considerations and family issues to consider, but the country truly needs a candidate like you. We need someone who has both a theoretical and practical understanding of the international arena, and who can help repair damaged relationships with important allies. I believe you are one of the few people in this country that can do that. I took a leap of faith and made radical changes in my life, and to be honest, the jury is still out as to whether or not I made the right decision. But, I didn't want to be sitting around 5 or 10 years from now wondering "what if." I hope you will have the same feelings and give the presidency a shot. You have answered your country's call before....I hope you will do it again. I will definitely become actively involved in working on your campaign should you make the decision to run. Best wishes with whatever you decide. It is obviously a very personal decision that no one on the outside can completely understand. But, I for one, certainly hope your heart tells you to run. Sincerely, Bonnie Martin

I believe your leadership, candor, demeanor and most importantly your intelligence in foreign policy is what America needs in 2004. I was also impressed with your commentary work on CNN. Your preciseness and truth displayed was refreshing to see. I believe your traits will make you a perfect choice for president in 2004. If you choose to run, I will vote for you and so will my family and friends. I know the commitment is very serious but I believe what you can contribute outweighs the sacrifices you would have to make in the interim. Please consider running for president in 2004. Best wishes for success in any endeavor you undertake.

General Clark, I saw your appearance on Bill Mahr last night and wanted to send you a note. I've been following your potential candidacy for some time now, but was curious to see which side of the spectrum you would fall on. Your words often indicate a certain bias, but it wasn't until I hear you say your comments about liberalism that I knew you were the man for me. Studs Terkel was an outspoken critic against the democratic party when they became ashamed of the term liberal back in the 80s. I have often that the term 'liberal' is something to be extremly proud of. That fact that you repeated my sentiments almost word for word have convinced me to get involved this early in the process. A process which has turned me off considerably over the years. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General -- As you think over your options, I hope you will consider that if you don't run, the Democrats will once again manage to elect a Republican president. The country could use a chief executive who has on-the-ground experience, on-the-ground intelligence, comes from an 'electable' part of the country and can see the rest of the world not in fairy-tale terms of "good" and "evil" but as potential business partners, allies, and, only as a last resort, enemies. A little real-time, thought-out policy and backbone beats air-head patriotism every time. Best wishes and please run.

Gen. Clark, I had heard your name bandied about as a possible Democratic candidate for President of the United States of America. At first I figured it would be great if you ran for no other reason than returning the possibility of debate to the issue of national security. Without someone of your stature the Republicans would most likely rely on F(ear)U(ncertainty)D(eception) to prevent an honest discussion of the issue. I'd heard something of your opions of the war on Iraq, and that you considered the Democrats the party that best represented the America your political views. This alone was enough for me to hope you joined the race. Then I had the opportunity to see you on Real Time with Bill Maher. You description of the fundmental reason for running, the sort of country we in which we want to live. Your description of reason of divine inspiration. All of it, it all summed up the frustrations and concerns I've had for the last 3 years. Given the opportunity to snipe at Bush you choose to focus on the positives of the flight suit. The call for reasoned debate of ideas is exactly what is needed. I strongly believe that the path to this country and world you describe would be much easier to traverse if you ran for President. I would understand if you declined. The duty is tough and the land is littered with those who would find their "treasure" threatened by the land you describe, but Gen. Clark I know you would be up to the task. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, Can we please find a Democrat who will stand against abortion as a matter of faith in Jesus Christ and not support it with Government funds or other means. Having the government be neutral in a woman's right to choose is no problem but when the government supports abortion in any way, this is a problem and leaves this large complete segment of voters forced to vote Republican or refuse to vote. Please consider this. I am not sure of your stand but hope that it may line up with this. I am interested to support someone who has a sensible plan for America. The current reaction based policy of revenge aimed at demonized leaders but only hurting the common people is not American and shameful. I will gladly work for anyone with ideals in line with mine which I believe represent the majority of thinking, moral, Christian Americans. Thank you for your time.

Dear General Clark, I just finished reading your book,WAGING MODERN WAR, and now am thoroughly convinced that you alone above all the other democratic candidates in the field can send George Bush and his inept administration packing in 2004. George Bush led us into an unjustified war with Iraq using very questionable evidence for WMD's and now wants the taxpayers and the U.N. to get us out of it after snubbing the U.N. in the first place. All the while we should have been sending more troops to ferret out Osama Bin Laden and the real terrorists, along with U.N. and Nato support as well as that of other Arab nations. Too bad our current president and his advisors didn't read your book. If they did, they surely missed the point which is: WORKING TOGETHER TO DEFEAT A COMMON ENEMY WORKS! General Clark, your dealings with NATO, many European heads of state, their defense ministers, their field commanders, and all the politics involved during the Kosovo campaign makes you uniquely qualified to lead our country through this mess. With your expertise in strategic planning and knowledge of foreign affairs, I am certain you can round up support from our allies to help win and pay for the war on terror. They already love you and trust you for winning the war in Kosovo and bringing peace to an unstable region. In fact, I can't wait until your next book comes out, WINNING THE PEACE. I know it will be just as good. Furthermore, with your advanced degree in economics and your current business experiences, I'm also certain that you and your cabinet would be able to lay out a strategy to help our ailing economy. Enough said! Please run for president. My husband and I have pledged to your campaign and we will work our buns off for you. We are newly retired and would be honored to help you win the presidency.

Dear General Clark, I would support you no matter what your decision, but I still hope and pray that you will decide to run for President, and forego running with Dean. Frankly. for me, the most important thing is to get rid of Bush before he completely destroys our country. That said, we know for a fact that the Bush people are planning to use fear and misinfirmation in this next election. Look how successfully it's worked so far--for the love of God, the majority of Americans think Saddam was responsible for the attacks two years ago! They are going to go after Dean like a vicious and rabid dog. They'll call him weak on defense; we'll be on constant orange alert and they'll issue vague and scary warnings to keep people's minds off the economy and an unnecessary, unfruitful and sadly irrelevent war. They'll attack his lack of experience in military and foreign affairs (unmindful of their own, of course) and his patriotism. And there will be the inevitable and frequent viewing of Bush on the aircraft carrier. But, if YOU were the democratic contender, General, you would take away all their ammunition. (Not that they wouldn't try--there are no depths to which they will not sink.) They can't attack you on lack of foreign policy or military experience, or patriotism, etc--what's left for them to talk about? Sure, like they want to talk about the economy? And a Bush/Clark debate? How I yearn to see that. Look, I know, campaigning is tough. Gruelling and painful and tough. In some respects, running for president is harder than being president. I get your reluctance, I really do. But you've got to bite the bullet and just do it, General. You must run and you must win. Your country needs you. Let me repeat that. Your country needs you. I don't think you are the kind of man to turn away from that.

GENERAL CLARK, PLEASE RUN FOR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. You are the only candidate who has remained steadfast in your beliefs and positions, and we sincerely believe that you are the ONLY candidate who can defeat this nation's unelected oil industry lackey, George W. Bush. America needs your leadership. Iraq needs it. So does the entire world. Warmongering, corporate corruption and greed have caused enough chaos and misery. Please, we look to you as a voice of reason, moderation and leadership. You have our entire family's support, and with you as a potential candidate, we are now actually excited and hopeful about this presidential election!

I was about to give up hope of the Democrats preventing the current administration in Washington from having 4 additional years to ply their "compassionate conservatism" snake oil on our democracy. The possibility of your candidacy give me hopes for a second "one term" Bush president. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, I think you are the only potential Democrat candidate who has a strong likelyhood of defeating G.W. Bush and his handlers. A slate with you running for President and Howard Dean for Vice President would be my preference. I like a lot of what Dean says but doubt that he could run as effective a campaign as you, and believe that you would be a stronger Chief Executive, once in office. We need strong, honest, principled and statesmanlike leadership -- which we have not seen for many years. The Democratic Party leadership should abandon their fixation on focus group and weathervane-aided policy-making and begin to take strong principled stands in opposition to the trashing of the environment and the contemptuous treatment of our former international allies. They should vigorously challange the shocking conflicts of interest in the awarding of no-bid multi-billion $$ contracts by senior administration office holders and appointees to companies run by former associates. And, worst of all, we now see the not-so-subtle subversion of the Constitution by would-be Big Brothers hiding behind the so-called Patriot Act. Enough. Please, we need a change and you appear to be our best hope. Sincerely, Scott Odell

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I remember watching your spots on CNN during the beginnings of the War in Iraq earlier this year. I was very impressed with your knowledge and presence. I have read your positions on important issues and I would vote for you in a heartbeat. As a person who has spent quite a bit of time abroad, I am embarassed to read about Pres. Bush's latest escapades. He shows no regard for global politics and even less regard for the American economy. As a lifelong Democrat, I truly believe you are the only person who can restore faith in the US government. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear Mr. Clark: Like many other Americans, I have spent the last two-and-a-half years yearning for the day when our country would once again have a qualified, truthful, and articulate leader whom we could respect and trust to do the right things. Godot may not be coming this way any time soon, but I believe with your integrity and experience you could do the nation much good. Two years ago, I didn't witness the airplanes' impact and anxiously await word from my mother, who teaches a block from the former WTC, to have the present occupant of the White House carelessly wave his six-shooter and lead us further down the path to national insecurity. That such a great tragedy has become a cynical excuse for a dubious agenda which has further undermined our economy is a shame; that it has been manipulated beyond the bounds of truth by an administration desperately seeking legitimacy after a likely fraudulent election is a crime. I'd like to ask you to become the president who moves us beyond our present quagmires, both domestic and foreign, into an era of renewed honor and vision--not to mention good standing among the sensible nations of the world. I believe you have the intelligence, character, and credibility to make a convincing case to the nation before the next election. And while nothing in life is guaranteed, history does suggest that ultimately the sincere efforts of good men and women to improve their world are never made in vain. To keep up my end of the bargain, I pledge to contribute both time and funds to your effort should you accept this difficult charge. Sincerely, Sun M. McElderry NYC

You would get our financial support as well as time volunteered to your campaign. We voted for George Bush in 2000 and have since become quite dissolusioned with the adminstration's agenda. We have always been Republican and feel the party has been hijacked. Problem is we can't find a democratic candidate we can get behind out of the current selection. Your candidacy would find a large number of people like us that would give you total support. We look forward to your announcement to join. Sincerely, John Willette Portland, ME

I am a Republican and I think Bush has done an okay job so far. I believe he as definately the lesser of two evils. That having been said, due to international opinion I don't believe it would be good for the nation to have him re-elected. Because of this I would possibly like to see you run for President. I don't like any of the other Democratic candidates. I would NOT vote for you as vice-president under Dean but would vote for you as President as long as you maintained a centrist agenda. Before I decide I would like to know your views on the following subjects: Continued US involvement in NATO and our pseudo-allies The massive amounts of US aid to a plethora of countries Tax cuts for the middle class Iraq War on Terror

General Clark, I am pleased to hear that you are considering the opportunity to lead our great nation through some difficult times. Your fellow Americans are experiencing a knawing apathy in the way this country is currently being led while hoping a praying that a true leader might emerge from the group of lackluster presidential hopefuls from both the Republican and Democratic camps. Not a one has inspired Americans to rally around. You, sir are the only one that does not act and sound like a politician first and a true advocate for the american citizen second. I've listened to your interviews, have read your analysis of diverse issues and respect the clear, concise and straight method you have of delivering your answers which leave no doubt to what you stand for and believe in. Yes, General, you have shown leadership qualities that few men we americans have encountered have shown, courage in the face of difficult challenges (Kosovo,etc.), plain talk when dealing with the issues and an honesty we Americans have not seen in a leader in quite some time! It is a daunting task indeed to convince a country so weakened economically, politically and confronted with an elusive army of terrorist organizations bent on destroying all the good in our lives that you, alone as President can somehow begin to bring a sanity and sense of hope to our lives. A sense that we who live in the most enlightened country on earth, can together, win! I am willing to give you my trust and support to begin that difficult process. Please consider being our President! Here's to "President Wesley Clark"

The situation in the world today is becoming a complex and somewhat frightening place. It causes me great consternation to think that our great nation is being chartered through these troubling times by a man who applies a cowboys and indians viewpoint to foreign policy. The current crop of Democratic candidates, save Gov. Dean all cowered and supported Bush's headstrong rush into Iraq. Now that they see how unpopular this action is becoming, they are jumping on the dissent bandwagon and echoing the public chorus. Put plainly, none of the current candidates seem to bring anything new to the table in terms of what they could do as president. Sir, with you having had actual experience in foreign matters, I'm sure you would bring a more pragmatic view to American foreign policy. I know you probably feel that you have served your country and now deserve to enjoy your retirement, but just as in the case of George Washington when after he led the nation to independence and was ready for a life of tranquility at Mount Vernon, he saw that his nation needed him again. Sir, your country needs you now, more than she ever has. Please give strong consideration to running for the White House. The day George W. Bush sits on the Inaugural podium and watches a new leader, a real leader be administered the oath of office, we will then truly be able to say, "God bless America".

I've written you before General Clark. I'm a professional educator at SFSU. I've run for political office in a major city (Santa Barbara) and won. I've also worked on many campaigns. I've also called every Presidential race right for the past forty years. I know this will mean a sacrifice for your family and for you, but I urge you to run. First, we need you. Second, you can win. This is a critical moment in our history and you present both the best hope we have of avoiding the abyss we've been headed for and the best hope we have as a world leader of providing the leadership other nations expect of us.

General Clark, As a 30-year-old college graduate, I believe myself to be representative of millions of people across our country labeled as a part of Generation X. This administration's politics do not speak to us. There is no voice of analytical reason. There is no perception of educated and informed decision-making as a function of domestic or foreign policy. We are disenfranchised, have always been and, in my opinion, rightly so. We need a president who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. With your candidacy, you have the ability to speak to our grandparents who will relate to your dedication to your country in service; our parents who desire a moderate, fair and unambiguous voice; and our generation who yearn for a person of common-sense principles who genuinely cares about our world, the people who live in it, and the next generations to come. If you lead, we will follow. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I have become a big fan of your thinking process as I watched your commentary for "Enduring Freedom" on CNN. I support our troops and think Americans need to come the realization that we all must make sacrifices for world democracy. Unfortunately Pres. Bush has slipped into more of a denial and defense mode than taking this cause to the people. We welcome your integrity, and hope someone will grab the reigns of fiscal responsibility in assessing this countries priorities. I am confident that once you assemble your message the people will recognize it as the proper course of action. Run for president!!!! Thanks.

Dear General Clark, As I reflect on the terrorist attacks that occurred two years ago, I cannot help but question whether we are safer today than we were then. When I consider whether our nation's social and economic condition today is better than it was before President Bush first took office, I know that it is not. With respect to both foreign and domestic policy, President Bush has failed us. He has created a front line in the war on terror that does not advance America's interests internationally or adequately protect its people domestically. At home, his economic and social policies have made us retreat from the advances that were achieved under President Clinton. Our country needs a fresh voice who is willing and able of leading us through these challenges. I know the other nine Democratic candidates are willing, but I do not believe that they are able of either overcoming the challenges that face our country or defeating President Bush. I believe you are able. I pray that you are willing.

Dear General Clark, I have been following the campaign with great interest. Never before has America so desperately needed leadership. I have always loved my country, but changes the Bush Administration has brought upon us, economically, fiscally, environmentally and morally has made me seriously consider moving to Canada. I am embarrassed and ashamed of the way people around the world now view Americans as a result of these policies, and I am horrified by the lies and deception surrounding them. I have in the past expressed support for Kerry and Dean, but after seeing you speak Bill Maher's program, I have begun reading quite a bit about you and am beyond impressed. I honestly believe that you are the person that can pull us out of this mess and restore our great country to what is was, and should always be. Everyone respects you, Republicans and Democrats alike. You are in a unique position to bring this country together like never before. Please run for President - this country needs a leader we can believe in.

There are two issues that we need to focus on to beat George Bush. The first one is the economy. I have a masters' degree in engineering, and was unemployed for all of 2002, and the first quarter of 2003. I'm not alone - I can give you names of at least ten people in the same situation whom I know personally. How can the economy possibly be stimulated to recover if so many people who are highly educated and highly motivated can't find a position in this economy to provide goods and services? The second issue is corruption and lying. From election fraud to "weapons of mass destruction" to uranium from Niger to a shadow administration, to no-bid fat contracts in Iraq for Bechtel and Halliburton, to the protection for Enron, WorldCom and the rest, this administration is rotten to the core. The Republicans continue to try to distract us with Qusay, Uday, Jessica Lynch, gay marriage - anything to get our minds off the economy and the corruption. Even July's unemployment figures were a lie! Yes, the unemployment rate went down 0.2%, but the actual number of jobs in the country was down by 44000, and that doesn't even count all of the people who are underemployed. The thing that distresses me is that we as Democrats are letting them get away with it! It is up to us to steal the headlines back and pound on these two issues. We must not let the American people forget how badly they have been betrayed. We cannot unite the party and beat George Bush unless we maintain our focus on the issues that we all can agree on - getting Americans working again and getting rid of the corruption that has taken over the government at every level. After doing a lot of reading, I believe that you are the only person who has the credibility to do it. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

America is tired if the arrogance, lies and autocratic attitude of Mr. Bush. He needs to leave the office and return the respect that America earned and enjoyed in the world. You can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. You are a man with principals. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I am a 26-year-old American. My wife and I just brought our first child, a baby boy, into the world. I must say I am more frightened now than ever about the uncertainties of the future. I am concerned about the world's perception of America and I worry about how my son will grow up in that world if America continues down its current path under questionable government leadership. I want to be able to trust my government again. I want to know that America will once again become a place of true freedom and a place of peace. I want to believe in my country. General Clark, please run for president.

I have become thoroughly fed up with the way the Bush administration has endangered our ecomony and our livelihoods, pandered to big business and the wealthy, alienated our allies and given the American people a steady diet of disinformation. America desperately needs a new president, one who is up to the challenges of our dangerous and uncertain times. We need a leader who can be a voice of common sense, determination and moderation, both at home and abroad. We need a leader with unquestionable ability and the foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. We need a leader who understands and appreciates what it means to serve this country in uniform, and who respects the risks and hardships our servicemen and women and their families undertake regularly. General Wesley Clark, America needs you and is calling out to you! I want you to be my next president. For the sake of our Nation, please run for president. If there is anything I can do to be of service to you and to your campaign, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be honored to answer your call in whatever way, with whatever means, I have at my disposal. Respectfully yours, and proud to be an American!

Mr. Clark, I feel compelled to write this letter, knowing full well it will probably never be read by you. After reviewing the various Presidential candidates, I have found that a potential Wesley Clark Presidency provides the most encouraging outlook for the future of the United States, as well as the global community. The Bush Administration has squandered the vast potential of the defining moment of my generation - the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks - by imposing a global vision rejected by more than half of presidential voters. I can't express my outrage over the events of the last few years. We need a well spoken, independent, and thoughtful person to lead us. Not a frontman for an unseen, unspoken cauldron of interests that if known, would rightly be rejected by the public. I believe that you are that man. If not as President, than at least as a strong respected voice for our public discourse. -Jeff Vandemark

Dear General Clark, I'm a life-long Republican who is woefully disappointed in the current administration's handling of the War in Iraq. Unfortunately, thus far the Democratic hopefuls have engaged in the same old, tried and true name-calling, finger-pointing, and mud-slinging. I wait in anticipation for the likes of Howard Dean, John Kerry, and the others to clearly define their positions, move past their criticism of President Bush, and set clear agendas for the future of our great nation. Unfortunately, none of them seem willing to distinguish themselves from the usual sampling of wishy-washy politicians we are treated to every four years. Although I disagree with your position on several issues, I agree with you on many. I feel you are the best choice, not just for the Democratic Party, but for the future of our country. In these uncertain times, Americans need a sense of certainty - we need a man who stands firm on his convictions, yet is open to negotiation and compromise. We need someone who is versed in the private sector, but was schooled on the battlefield. We need someone who can be entrusted with defending our borders from terrorist aggression, without diminishing our status on the world stage or needlessly putting our troops in harm's way. I don't see any hope of this in Mr. Kerry, Mr. Dean, or any of the others. And, unfortunately, I no longer see it in my President, George W. Bush. I do see a glimmer of hope in you, General Clark. I see someone willing to speak his mind and not be influenced by opinion polls. I see a veteran of our military forces who could honestly and without hesitation return the salute of any passing member of the United States Military. I see in you a true Commander in Chief. America is at war on many fronts - in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in the court of world opinion and countless other arenas. A nation at war needs a President schooled in the art of war. A nation at war needs a President of unblemished character. A nation at war needs an eloquent speaker, capable of rousing not only the troops, but all Americans. A nation at war needs a Roosevelt, a Truman, or a Reagan. General Clark, do not accept a compromise from Mr. Dean or any others for the Vice-Presidency. At this point in the game, accept no compromises. Please, General, run for the Presidency of the United States of America. Announce your candidacy and do so soon! Stay above the bickering of the other Democrats. Avoid excessive criticism of the President and negative campaigning. Run on your character, record, experience, and above all, a clear and concise agenda for America. Do not let our Presidential election process become a contest where "the one with the most campaign money wins" Every now and then the right man comes along at the right time - President Roosevelt during the Great Depression, President Truman at the end of WWII, President Reagan at the culmination of the Cold War. I believe that you, General, are the right man for these times. Don't let the chance to honorably serve your country yet again pass you by. Do not let my choice next Autumn be between Mr. Bush and Mr. Dean or Mr. Kerry. Sincerely, David Krzisnik Michigan Don't force me to sit out this upcoming election.

Sir, though I a.lready wrote you earlier today, there are some follow up thoughts I wanted to share with you. Obviously, you have remained on my mind, which is indicitive of how strongly I feel about you running for President. The last time I felt this strongly about a Presidential cnadidate was 1968 when Bobby Kennedy ran, I was 19 at the time. I had a strong conviction then that he was exactly the right person to lead our nation at that difficult and important time. He was a man whose support cut across racial lines, a rich man who truly understood and stood for he needs of the poor among us. Had he lived, I believe he would have unified our nation. Since then I have of course backed others for the Presidency, but never have I believed again that any of them was ideally suited, by temperment, experience, beliefs, and destiny, to lead our nation. I do feel that way about you. I have pledged money to your campaign, and I will donate regularly. I have never previously given money to any political candidate for any position. I have great respect for Howard Dean. In a way he is the Eugene McCarthy of our time. He led the way with his frankness and clear call for change. His nomination, however, would lead to a very polarized campaign. One that I fear he would lose. I will support him should you decline to run, but I beg you to run. There is no one else who is positioned to actually deliver on the hollow promises George W. Bush made. He promised a nation humble in its foreign policy. He pledged compassion for those not well off. And above all else he promised to work together with Americans of all political affiliations, to be a unifier. In each case he has done the oppositie. Since his election he promised to increase our security, and I fear here too he has done exactly the oppositie. I believe you would actually lead a government of national unity. I have been deeply moved reading the letters written by those who served under you, and who have met you in all walks of life. General Clark, you can bring us together in a way that Gov. Dean would be very hard pressed to accomplish, even if he were able to win the Nov. 2004 election. Your nation truly needs you, and you specifically. I am somewhat a student of America's early history. George Washington was able to gather together a cabinet of prominent Americans that neither Thomas Jefferson or John Addams coould have. WE need national unity now sir, and we need you. Tom Rinaldo Phoenicia NY

We need to get Bush OUT of the White House and replace him with someone who has everything he lacks: intelligence, experience, intellectual honesty, concern for ordinary folks, the poor, the world community, etc. I like Howard Dean and he would probably be a good president, but I like you better, and with your stellar military background and southern roots, you are the more electable candidate. If you run, I will have finally found a good use for that $300 check that Bush sent me a couple of years ago--give it to your campaign fund!

During the events surrounding The American Invasion of Iraq, I quickly found that both my wife and I we're cautiously waiting each evening for the (hopeful) appearance of Mr. Clarke with Aaron Brown on CNN. We both found the overwhelming media coverage and flurry of international news frightening. Mr. Clarke possesed a calm that transcended the unreality of the war and perhaps more than any other figure, helped to calm and reassure us during that very trying time. I would say to my wife-- "Dad's on T.V., come watch..." America will get a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times.

I keep hearing news that you and Howard Dean have some sort of politican relationship. I personally don't care for Howard Dean and am a little worried if you have some type of alliance with him. I feel he is too liberal for me. (I consider myselp socially liberal, but fiscally conservative) I want YOU to be president because I am so impressed when I hear you discuss issues. And because I think you appeal to both Democrats and Republicans. You are a much stronger candidate in my eyes than any of the other Democratic candidates, so please run. President Bush has screwed up our standing in the world as a result of his mishandling of the Iraqi war. After 9/11, world allies sympathized with us and where all on our side in wanting to stamp out terrorism. Now we're percieved as arrogant and self-serving. Please run for president and undo this mess we're in. Respectfully, Terry Skordahl, Minnesota

Please run for president. Should you choose not to run for president, your joining Howard Dean's campaign could result in a formidable team.

I am a resident of lower Manhattan (27 years), and I despair for our country's future. We desperately need a candidate with the political skills and social values necessary to bring the United States back into a positive relationship with the other nations of the world. I have read your position papers, and your biography, and I believe you are the best suited to this difficult challenge. It is, more than ever before, the most important job in the world. President Bush has stated that he wants to make Iraq more like the U.S., that he wants Iraqis to enjoy the same benefits of democracy that we enjoy. From my perspective, it appears that the President and his advisors wish to make America more like Iraq, with a destroyed economy, where the citizens have diminished rights, little privacy and must live under threat of brute force. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. The world needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I am a strong supporter of you (and have also witnessed you on CNN various times), and would love to see you team up with Howard Dean in one way or another. The two of you would make an unstoppable force and would easily clear the field in the upcoming election. It's time to get a Democratic administration in the White House, before it's too late. Please team up with Dean, you'd both be able to win.

Much to the extreme frustration of many good American citizens, that has mostly eroded at the hands of the current administration.

Dear Gen. Clark, I am a Republican (no I'm not afraid to admit it), but a moderate. I have been watching the Democractic candidates with interest, to see if anyone might cause me to jump ship, they have not, until now. I was a Navy man myself, and it seems like maybe what we need in Washington is a little discipline. One thing though, "bluntly" saying that you are pro choice will immediately cause every Catholic Archdiocese in the U.S. and voting territories to issue a bulletin that Cathoics should NOT vote for you. In your late entry position at this time you cannot afford to alientate such a large block of voters. Tone down the pro choice stuff and come out against "late term abortion". If will soften your position with the "right to life" groups, and it wont piss off the "pro choice" either. Just my 2 cents worth of advice, sorry I can't vote for you in the primarys, but I'm registered Rep. Good Luck, and if you win the nomination, I'll vote for you in '04. Sincerely, Bill Green

A moderate Democrat this country does not need. It does not need you. It does not need another individual from Arkansas in the White House. Your stepping your big toe into this race is disheartening. You and your cohorts have set your sites on not only the bringing down of the current President but this entire country with nothing but liberal, self centered, narrow minded, selfish ambitions. Today is 9/11/03 sir, and undermining the the current administration with the the country at war seems very strange with your military background. 'Thank you' for consorting with the enemies and giving them more ammunition to turn public opinion against not just the President but this entire country and our way of life. You, as a former military man, know very well that a united country is our best defense. As an Arkansan who grew up in this state and has lived in it my entire life and voted Democratic, I deplore you to rethink the damage you are comtemplating along with Billy boy at your side.

We(the public) are not children who should be kept in the dark and not allowed to question our government and trust them in all their decisions. Please strongly consider running for the Presidency.

Dear General Clark, America most definitely needs a new president. We are in a desperate situation for better leadership for our great country. Everything I have read and observed about your background and leadership abilities indicate that you can beat George W. Bush in 2004. I do respect the other Democratic candidates currently in the race for the Democratic nomination for President, but I do not think any of them can beat Bush. After 9/11, Bush has become a wartime President and it will take a candidate with your outstanding military (and many other impressive) credentials to beat him. Our country does need you General Clark. Please step up and give America an opportunity for strong and effective leadership once again. We are so heading in the wrong direction. Remember, Bill Mahr's mother, the retired Navy nurse, wants you too!

As a concerned American I ask you General Clark to do this country the greatest favor of your life and run for President in 2004, since I believe you alone can win an election against the Republican Party in 2004. This country needs a real leader during these very trying times; someone we can admire and respect here at home and around the world. You qualify in all respects. As a retired Army Sergeant Major I have never been to concerned or involved in politics since those elected and serving in a political office, whether Republican, Democrat or Independant, alway seemed to have the best interests of their constituents and their country at heart. I don't believe this is true of the Republican Party today. I believe in my heart that everything possible must be done to "save" this country from continuing down the road that the Republican Party is now taking this country, and instead we need to elect people who will show concern for the cares for the masses of the people here at home, and has the admiration and respect of the world. General Wesley Clark, America is waiting for your answer. Please don't let us down!!! Harry D. White

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. In addition, the economy has devastated my husband's retirement account. His and millions of others. With the Republicans in power in my great state of Texas, state employees have been wiped out in benefits and retirement. That is going to be a nationwide problem. Instead of buying school books and providing health insurance for our teachers millions are being spent on Special Legislative Sessions to further the cause of Mr. DeLay.

To all of you "unbeatable" "dreamteam" Dean fanatics that have decided to infiltrate the Website for the General's PRESIDENCY: GO HOME! YOUR BOY DEAN IS ALL BARK AND NO BITE. You're all like gnats on a dogs butt and you're doing a disservice to our country. If you're so confident in your candidate, then you would be comfortable with him on his own as a candidate and not scared that the General will run in the primary against him. I'm comfortable with the General as a lone candidate at this point. Don't you guys think Dean can win without the General? No. Then who do you think deserves to be President because the General can do it without Dean. He endorsed by the Clinton's and many prominent media and he hasn't even run yet. You're weak without him but he's not weak without Dean.

General Clark, I hope you will make a run for the presidency. We need an honest leader who will serve the people of this great country. I am a former Navy submariner and now teach law at the University of Florida. I grew up on a rice farm in south Louisiana. But my most important contribution to this world comes in my three young children (1 1/2, 5, and 7). I worry a great deal about the world they and their families will face. The arrogant, self-serving policies of the current administration are alienating our allies, strengthening our enemies, and causing the great many moderate peoples of the world to question our status as the world's greatest nation. There is an old saying that "a rising tide lifts all boats." The Bush administration has caused a global falling tide that is taking everyone down. I hope you will run. And I hope there will be a place on your team for me and others who care passionately about our fine country. I am a moderate who is tired of seeing the right wing of this country define patriotism. I served my country and would do it again in a heartbeat. That is patriotism in my view. Bashing one's critics and ruining their lives is about the most unpatriotic action I can imagine. Once again, please run. The nation, the world, and my three wonderful children need you.

Dear General Clark: I lived in Russelville, AK in the early 70s for about three years. I am a republican and living in California now. This president has totally messed up what US stands for; our priciples, our morals, our integrity, our international relations, our freedom, our economy, our jobs and list goes on. It is all slogans and words, but he does the opposite. I very sincerely urge you to run for the presidency and in these uncertain times, I believe that the country needs a person like you rather than these other political HACKS, whether democrats or republicans. You need to provide leadership and sort out the priorities that will help every citizen of USA and not just the rich, right or the left. The country is getting polarized, a very very dangerous environment and is going to hurt every one in the future. Later we can help other nations as needed, with the help of a true coalition and not by ourselves. When a country is a Super Power, it does not have to show its power, others know it. Our security and peace of mind is very important and that should be our key priority. If you provide the leadership that everyAmerican is looking for today, you will be elected. I can promise you two votes, mine and that of my wife for sure. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear GERT Clark, So much for "retirement" but your guy can win. We need new leadership, someone with the credibility and communication skills. Your guy is the best. Sorry to have to say this. While I cannot begin to imagine how invasive this could be to your family, look at all this support. There are campaign donation limits, but on behalf of the future Wesley Clark for President volunteers, I'd like to suggest there could be a lot of non-financial volunteer support for you too. Flying in to clean your fishtanks (if any), walk the dog (if any) or put chlorine tabs in the pool might be examples on the silly and trivial side -- but think out of the box on how the volunteers can make this tolerable for you. You might get a lot of support. Just look at this website.... WOW. Appreciate your considering this. We really need some help in this country and are willing to do what it takes.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times - and has your kind of experience with the military and foreign affairs. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president, -- do not run as a Vice Presidential candidate - it would be a waste of your talent - the Democrats need you as their front-runner! We can't afford to waste any more time on candidates that might not make it!

General Clark, I worked for you when you were head of BCTP. I was an augmentee OC when Gen Cavasos was with you. I recently retired and feel you have the courage to stand up for America. If I can be of any assistance here in West Texas, let me know. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004.

General Clark, In 1993 I was a 91Bravo Pvt. serving with the 27th Main Support Battalion in the 1st Calvary Division. I believe there were around 300 or so participants going out for the EFMB that year and I was the last one of 19 standing that you pinned. After serving our great country I came home to Tallahassee, went to school, got married, and now have a wonderful 18 month old son. Serving in the 1st Calvary Division under your command was the most rewarding experience of my life. I believe that even if you were wounded, (which if I was your medic I'd get you healed back up in no time), and you could only lead half as good as you did back then, not only America but the rest of the world could feel the honor, loyalty, and respect for freedom that I have felt every since. I'll be there if you need me (maybe not as a medic, it's been a few years!). Michael Eudy Veteran 91Bravo, 1st Calvary Division

Dear General Clark, I am hoping that, regardless of what extent you may or may not be favored by corporate donors or opinion polls, you will heed the thousands upon thousands of requests from desperately concerned Americans to run for President of the United States. Like millions of Americans I'm terribly worried about the incompetence of the Bush Administration and self-destructive course upon which they have launched the United States-both politically and economically. While I would admittedly vote for anyone to get these people out of office, it is clear to me that you possess the vision, experience, and integrity that is necessary to lead the United States in a competent, successful manner. General Clark, I have a brother who is serving in the army in Iraq, and while I opposed the manner in which President Bush rushed us into that war, I fully support all of our service men and women there. By this, I mean that I wish our troops to receive their hazardous duty and family separation pay. I wish that they not be exposed to depleted uranium weapons that provide quick military victories and tens of thousands of subsequent cancer casualties. I wish that veterans not have their benefits slashed. And this means that I wish them to be lead by a competent, experienced, and honest Commander in Chief, not by a failed businessman who avoided combat and went AWOL from his National Guard unit during the Vietnam War. I believe that you are the person best qualified not accomplish these things and I sincerely hope you will run for office. Best wishes, Charles Colt

Dear General Clark, I had the extraordinary opportunity to meet you many months ago and have been waiting anxiously on the sidelines for your decision. My wife and I are in our early 30's and we have watched this great nation become a resented nation. A bully if you would. We need change, regime change. My committment to you is this - like a chain letter, I will actively recruit 100 people in our area to vote for you. Friends, family, clients, neighbors. In addition, so will my wife. And of those 100, we will actively encourage them to recruite 100. As your message at the MeetUp stated - this movement is bring ciizen participation back to democracy. We need a leader who listens to regular people, not special interests. We need - Wesley Clark! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark; If you are going to run for President, do it on your own. Do not align yourself with Howard Dean. The man is an idiot, a no-neck idiot as are all the democrats so far in the race and none of them will ever beat President Bush. From the very beginning you said you did not want to run but you have this group that is drafting you to run. I told you before to do what you felt was right for you. Whatever you do, do not run with anyone, especially Howard Dean. The man belongs in Vermont and I hope dies in Vermont - he will never make the White House. Good luck to you. Judy Woodruff is constantly harping on you that you are running even when I heard you personally say "I am not running." So you are stuck between a rock and a hard place - never be second man; if you're going to do it, be the first in line.

You WILL win if you run against Bush. I don't believe any other democratic candidate can. With your experience, intelligence and naturally radiating honesty, it will be easy. So go ahead! This country needs someone like you to volunteer for the job. Some of the other candidates have been creepy crawling up to it from the sewers of Washington politics, and are slowly killing my life-long faith in politics. If you think it would be too much hard work, remember how George showed that anyone can do it, take month-long vacations, and still make it in bed by nine. Please just say yes.

Dear Gen. Clark I am looking forward to the day you announce that you will run for President. The Democratic Party needs a fresh face. We need someone who can revitalize in us our progressive princilpes and beliefs. When I watch you on the TV talk shows, your demeanor and analyes, it seems to me, strike the right tones - you don't waffle on issues or sound defensive about our positions as does Sen.Kerry; you don't seem tainted by big insurance/accounting scandals or past administrations as does Sen. Leiberman; you are not beholdened to Big Labor or other core constituencies as is Rep. Gephardt and others; you are not shrill and naive about war issues as is Rep Kucinich. This is a good and necessary thing in order to restart the Democratic Party, which seems to be stuck in reactive behavior to the GOP. You project a substantial, calm, rational and youthful figure. I am not at all worried if you are not "up" on all issues. Your intelligence and experience can guide you and us citizens, as we reshape the nation to meet the challenges of this decade and beyond. I was always frustrated by Vice Pres. Gore's 2000 campaign. He never emphasized his stong national defense posture duing his campaign speeches. In hindsight, what a mistake! Instead of just shooting straight, he got tied up catering to voting niches. I would be disappointed if you co-opted your bid by joining the Dean campaign. Beside the fact he looks like my dentist, and that he is running a demagogic campaign, he doesn't show me how he will make a difference or match up well with Pres. Bush. I also think a lot of his support is ephemeral. People in the Left-wing are willing to feed him to sing the blues while the centrists still hope that a substantial figure will emerge from the pack. If ou take a risk for a principle, the people will follow. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, I have been deeply concerned for the direction America has been heading since Bush has taken office. From foreign policy to the economy to abortion rights to environmental concerns, I fear this country has taken a turn in a direction that we will remorsely regret in years to come. I have been following the democratic candidates quite closely hoping one would stand out as a serious challenge to the current administration and so far I am disappointed. It is not that some are not well qualified, it is that none seem to have the entire package needed to defeat Bush--who IS vulnerable! I have been waiting to donate to a campaign that could seriously take on this administration and win. I believe strongly from what I have read and heard of your backgroud, integrity, and experience that YOU may not only be that candidate, but that you might be the ONLY candidate that could do that. It is not troo late to enter the race as no one seems "fired up" about any of the nine so far. There are plenty of us out here waiting for some one to give us hope that we could actually unseat this President and start this country back on a road more likely to take us, as a nation, in the direction I believe would benifit the majority of Americans, not just the wealthy few whose big dollars seem to so impress this adminstration. Please run!

One with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. The Democratic Party needs focus and leadership sir, and I firmly believe that only you can bring that. We can not let the Republic slip further and further away from its true ideals and its people. So much could have been done these past two years under the current administration both at home and abroad. So much has been lost do to missmanagement and ineffective leadership. None of the current Democratic candidates truely has what it takes to lead this nation. They do not posses the skills or knowledge of the world as you have had the opprotunity of doing up close and personal. This is not to say that they are not qualified or successful politicians. The point is that they are only politicians whose experiance it limited and lacking for todays demanding challenges. We need a true Statesmen in the White House...a Statesmen. A person who can properly motivate, seize the objective, build political and domestic coalitions around the world and at home to create a better world. Someone who can restore the ideals and direction of our great Republic and make it a true Republic again in which the people can enjoy life and liberty. A nation that is safe and secure without comprosiming our freedom and a world that can begin to heal the wounds that are still left open after 500 years of imperialism. It is not an easy task, but one that must begin. It will take generations to accomplish, but that is the true cause for which our blood, sweat and tears will be expended. Though we may not finish this task it must begin now, before it is to late. Let them say that it began here, and with us. These are serious time and we need serious people with serious solutions. There is a big difference between someone who WANTS to be president and some one who CAN be president. That person who CAN be is you General. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Sincerly, Ivan Torres

Dear Mrs.Clark, I've heard that you are reticent about Mr.Clark running for the Presidency. It's perfectly understandable that you would be reluctant to have your husband run. It's not going to be an easy run and, if he wins, it will be a long four or eight years. And I'm sure that you may feel that the General has served enough. But maybe, service to one's country, especially for those who have served all their lives, never really ends. Perhaps, service and life, for those who serve, is one and the same thing. The American people need the General more then we have ever needed him before. I personally feel that everything he has done heretofore, has been a dress rehersal for this moment in history. I think running for the Presidency is Wesley Clark's destiny. Mrs. Clark, please forgive me for asking, but ,wont you share your husband with America one last time? With profound respect, Jim Bush

General Clark, By means of introduction, my name is Michael J. Fleming, and I'm a 28-year-old attorney living in Westchester County, New York. I must admit that other then reading your names on press clippings during the peak of the US's military's Operation Allied Force in Kosavo, I have had little exposure to your work and voice. However, the time I have spent reading your ideas, hearing your voice and feeling your presence during the last thirty days, has left me with an unquenchable thirst for more. You appear to be exactly what America needs. Although I understand you are somewhat modest, your military achievements are so impressive that I can't help but be drawn to your every word on the terrorist threat facing the world, and how to adress it on the military front. You compassion for America is demonstrated by your position on affirmative action and the environment. Your ability to see the big picture, while grasping exactly why we must combat global warming and drilling in the ANWR. Finally, but most imortantly to me, you move the common man to want more out of life. I'm just a regualar guy. I grew up in Staten Island, and moved out to Oregon to get my education. I put myself through college and law school with scholorships, loans, and hard work. Never before has a potential candidate for public office cried out to me. I'm a man who is tired of the bull that currently runs through the political system, and is demonstrated by the tirades of canditadates for the Democratic Presedential Nomination. I implore you to consider running for the greatest job in the world. As someone who is having a hard time considering who the American people should "hire" for the next eight years, your decision could easily end the interview process for me and make a difficult decision much easier. Should you decide to enter the fray, I along with many of my friends, will join your team and stand by your side. You and and you family are in my heart and mind as you sift through these letters and make your decision. Should you honor this country by chossing to work for us, to lead us and to guide us, I pledge to you my support, my dedication, and most importantly, my vote. God speed on the path you choose General Clark. Best, Mike Fleming

General Clark, Not so long ago I met you on several different occasions. I was a server at the Capital Grille in Washington D.C. I waited on you while at times you had lunch, but most times you had meetings. It compell's me to write to you, and let you know that whenever folk talk about politics and the presidential run 2004, I let them know that the gentlemen they see is the one I met. My wife and I miss Washinton alot, we relocated to south florida (affordable housing). What has me concerned about the present administration is the lack of understanding about american public education and how the President has completely undermined himself and his "no child left behind" policy. Children are being left behind with the voucher system. Public schools are facing tremendous pressure here in florida with the fcat standerdized test. teachers are not teaching 3, 6, 9, and 12 grade material. they are teaching children how to prepare for a test that if they fail they will be left behind! My parents came to this country from the Cape Verde Island in the 60's and landed in a little place called Providence, Rhode Island that was big on Hope (state motto) and by force of grace and grit made things happen for not just my family but for our community. That hope that I felt as a youg man that came to fruition during the Clinton Administration (he's from a place called hope as well) is just about gone. It has been wiped clean by a leader of so few, and an interest of humanity so little. The three things I know about America was written so many years ago by our forefathers to help guide and keep america and it's people true: I am the hope of the slave, the dream of the immigrant, and the spirit of the underdog. I wish you well, just get out there and do it- the kids on college campuses need you, the kids in florida public school need you-( challenge both bush brothers to take the Fcats whatever grade level) the very democracey that we live by needs you. Choose Hilary Clinton as your Vice President and you will ensure you victory and propell the democratic party to 2012!!!!!! sincerly Joseph J.

I believe America needs a new president who understands the delicate balancing game that is international politics. So many bridges have been burned by the current administration, it could very well take decades to undo the damage. Every day our government's actions alienate more moderate citizens around the globe, and push the fanatical unerpriveleged classes into active war against us and everything we stand for. I support our troops as they work in Iraq and Afghanistan, but feel that many of the methods they are using to carry out their jobs are only serving to inflame anti-American sentiment. There simply has to be a better way to build bridges of understanding. One thing stands out in my mind on this day, September 11, 2003. Two years ago, the world held out its collective hand to Americans who were angry, grieving, and shocked to the core by what 19 zealot terrorists did to us. And yet polls showed that a majority of citizens in many allied countries thought that America had "asked for it" in terms of having a bullying and arrogant foreign policy that belittled and denigrated other nations. I know Americans who were traveling overseas during the September 11 attacks, and they spoke movingly of having individual citizens overseas offer sincere condolences and small acts of kindness. Were these the same foreign citizens who said "America asked for it?" What this dichotomy says to me is that America's government and actions are reviled, but the citizens are not. We must change the way we interact with the world or I truly believe we will find ourselves with few friends and fewer defenders in the years to come. General Clark, I believe you understand what concensus building involves, and the need to walk softly and carry a big stick. American leaders need to take more opportunities to keep their mouths shut and listen to what is being said to them. American foreign policy needs to change in order to respect and understand the motivations and needs of other citizens and other countries. If it does not, the next September 11 style attack will find fewer critics and more supporters around the world, as we saw in the streets of Palestine on this day two years ago. Please run for president and restore America to its rightful role of strong, thoughtful and compassionate leader of the free world. America has a history of fighting for the underdog--where is that proud tradition now? We saw it in the liberation of Baghdad, but seem to have lost the way since that day when the statues fell.

The comments and arrogance shown by top level people are an embarrassment and make us the ridicule of the entire world. They do not know or understand the meaning of diplomacy and tact and got us into a war on false pretenses. Our economy is in shambles yet this administration is obvilious to reality. In watching you, I see a intelligent leader who would bring back dignity to the White House and who has the abiity to regain the respect and support of other nations in ending this war successfully while taking steps to improve our economy.

Four more years of the current administration will lead us to a national despair not seen since the post-Vietnam era--militarily, economically, diplomatically. We need a leader with vision AND common sense. We need a president and an administration that is soft-hearted but not soft-headed. The country needs leadership that can deal with complexity on a domestic and international scale, not a "wag the dog" production that seeks to use every situation to fulfill some extreme dogmatic policy. Be that leader. Emphatically throw your hat into the ring and I promise I'll do what I can to support your campaign. Sincerely, John Barrett Millville, UT

Dear General Clark: Kucinich has heart, Dean has looks, Kerry has paid his military dues, but YOU seem to have it all. The risks are huge for you and your family and we don't underestimate that, but those of us who still believe in our Constitution and the viablility of a better, more peaceful world are at last seeing a ray of hope in you. The times call for a Renaissance Man and you are it! PLEASE consider answering the call. Announce your candiacy and you will find thousands who will campaign for you, contribute money and work to bring the cynical majority back into the voting fold. Sincerely, Jeannette Episcopo My husband and I saw you on CNN sometime during the early stages of the latest military fiasco and were impressed with your candor and experience.

The debates and events this past week showed us one thing: Dean is totally unqualified to be President. If Clark decides to be second fiddle to Dean as a running mate or to not run at all and endorse Dean for President, I will lose a lot of respect for the man. And the Democratic party will lose a vote from me.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I was familiar with you from CNN, but it was you appeance on the HBO Bill Maher show that made me realize you are the person for the job. Your appearance was brief, but powerfully sensible. In my opinion the message needs to be clear and elegantly simple. Just rise above the mess we seem to now be in under President Bush - Keep it "simple". Mr. Bush has created so much unnecessary complexity in our daily living, and in my opinon is ill-equipped to deal with it productively. I would support you as President, and Mrs. Clinton would make a good VP!

America needs a new president. We need a candidate who can fight Bush on his own ground and shoe with confidence and conviction that Bush has led and decieved the American public. We have been "Bushwacked" We need a person with your intelligence, bsackground and a person who will instill confidence in Americans that how we move from here is not only politically correct but morally correct as well with mp preconcieved ulterior motives that this admistration has. That is moving to the beat of the Oil companies and Halburton and the likes drums. PLEASE DON;T RUN WITH DEAN. RUN BY YOURSELF. You and you along could win this election.

This is the first time I have ever contacted a political person. Several months ago, I heard you on the radio, came into work and announced that I had just listened to the next President of the United States. Since then, I have been listening and looking for you, but until the September 8th Newsweek article, I thought you had decided not to run. I am sending this to encourage you to run for President in 2004. I am very concerned about the general decline of America and feel you have the qualifications to make things better. I have never contributed to any campaign, but since I am certain that you would be excellent for our country, I will pledge $100 should you choose to run. I am anxiously waiting your decision.

After reading your biographical information and news and commentary from a variety of sources, you sound like the sort of common sense person we need in the White House. Wether you run for president or team up with Mr. Dean, you would fill the need the country has for intelligent leadership at the top.
