You appear to be a potential candidate who has the background, intelligence, and balanced viewpoint to unseat an administration that truly threatens the future of the majority of americans, economically, geopolitically, and constitutionally. If you decide to run I would be proud to assist you in any way I can.

Hi Wesley, 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. Please run for vice president with Howard Dean. This would put you in a perfect position to become president later on down the line. We also need a progressive realist like yourself to help Howard Dean and legitimize the progressive movement. Join Dean. Thank you, Justin Gardner

I am a Republican, I voted for Bush. I hated the Clinton administration and believe they are primarily responsible for the mess this country is in. I do not fully trust the current administration and the Patriot act scares the hell out of me. I would like to see you in the race because I believe you have integrity and I want to hear what you would propose to do to make things better in America.

Dear Sir, First, thank you for all that you have done for your country, and other NATO countries, up to this point. Your record is exemplary, and your current consideration of whether to run for public office, in and of itself sets a great example for young people. (I am 42, but have three teen-age children and many students under my care and tutelage, who need to see more role models such as yourself.) I am Canadian by birth (a NATO country by statute, but hardly by their actions of late), and became a naturalized US citizen in 1995. I have not missed a single voting opportunity since naturalization. I do not know enough about your stands, on issues that are important to me, in order to make a voting promise. For instance, I am strongly in favor of therapeutic cloning. However, I can say that I believe the country does need new leadership, and that none of the other declared candidates have much hope of securing my vote. I enjoyed watching your appearance on Crossfire, and would beg you to reconsider your response to the suggestion of running as an independent, or as leader of a "bull party". I believe that this web page, as well as similar ones set up by Dr. Dean's supporters, dispel the myth of the necessitiy of party machines. The congressional math of 50/50, with little momentum in either direction, doesn't mesh well with governing algorithm presribed by the US Constitution, as the spate of all manners of train wrecks continues to remind us. I believe that the founding fathers presciently engineered it this way. New parties break the symmetry, and progress (political evolution?) resumes. I believe that you have a rare opportunity, that is not only politically promising, but is also one that may turn out to be a turning point and moment of renewal in the great American saga. Please run for President.

Dear General Clark: I am not in the military, nor have ever been, just a citizen looking for someone to straighten out the mess GW has gotten our country into. Our Military stragedgy is a sham, our economic stragedy is pathetic, our problems with North Korea are escalating, our trade with China is teetering on disater for our factories, the world hates our president and is getting even with his cowboy mentality everywhere we turn, we will probably go down the road of bankruptcy if we allow GW to remain, people are losing their jobs left and right, our administration is of old thinking in a new world, our borders aren't secure, terrorism has not been contained as much as it could be, etc., etc. Just pick an issue, any one would be legitimate. I for one see you as having ideas which can deal with most or all of these issues. I have been following your interviews with much interest for a long long time and have reached the same conclusion as others- please run and deal with the above problems - same us all from this GW and get rid of him and his cronies. Intellectually I think you are FAR above GW/not even in the same league. We cannot afford to continue with Carl Rove/Chaney/Wolfowitz/Rumsfield and the like. They ARE NOT THE AMERICANS we need for the destiny of this country. We are all extremely concerned. Please run and get us back on track. Thank you!

Dear General Clark, Every day the situation in our country, and in the world, worsens. Innocent people are suffering unneccesarily for the gain of a very few. It's clear to me that this administration has its own secret agenda, that it's interested only in the personal gain of its members and not in the common welfare of the American people, nor anyone else in the world. I don't believe that the current men in power even got there through a legitimate election, but rather a political coup. Further, I feel that they will gain "re-election" through similar treachery, which is already underway, as in the Texas legislative juggling and the California recall. I believe these are both examples of republican attempts to consolidate power. It is absolutely imperative that OUR government be brought back to the people, that it represent the wishes of the people. This "administration" has led us down a dark, dangerous, deceitful and lonely path, which will take a very long time to overcome. We, the people, urgently need a candidate for president that can actually beat Bush and his cronies, and that will restore honesty and integrity to the United States. I believe you can fill those shoes. Please run for president, and put your heart and soul into it. Our country needs you! Thank you.

General Clark, I just heard of you possibly running for president today from my boss, the President and C.E.O. of a consulting firm in Ann Arbor Michigan who is staunchly democrat and very much opposed to our current administration. I share the same political views that he does, and agree with him when he told me that you are perhaps the only democrat who has a chance of winning the race against Bush. I read some quotes on how you feel about various issues and you seem to have true compassion and understanding of the way the world and our country works, which the current administration claims to have but we all know is really a farce. You also seem to have what it takes to appease both liberals and center-conservatives and for that reason, I think you should run for president. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I am writing to encourage you to run for president. The leadership of our great country in is disarray and has been for many years. The Bush-Cheney administration has done nothing but accelerate the downward spiral of the United States’ standing as the leader of the free world. Something must change! After seeing you again yesterday on MSNBC, I am more convinced than ever that you are the man for the job. WHEN you announce you candidacy, I will volunteer to assist your campaign in any manner possible. I have pledged to a potential Wesley Clark campaign through draftwesleyclark.com and purchased my “Draft Clark” bumper sticker. I can’t imagine the magnitude of your decision to seek the presidency, but I hope that you have decided to do so. Best Wishes and Continued Support, Stephen T. Wicke Malvern, PA

Wes, I am a 21 year retired Air Force officer. Having 4 years prior enlisted service and 17 years commissioned service, I chose to retire rather than blindly follow Bill Cliton's so-called leadership. He not only continued with the force drawdown (began by Bush The Elder), he cut much more drastically (both timing and quantity) than we could absorb. His foreign (and of course domestic) policy was poll driven--not national interest driven. America lost much of its credibility around the world and, in the end, encouraged terrorist groups to try the perceived lack of will of the American people. The result became evdient on September 11, 2001. You are a poor excuse for a possible candidate, let alone actually being elected as Commander in Chief of the American military. An objective snapshot of your record is proof-positive of my comment. You have never impressed me--NOR other military officers (active and retired) with your lack of independent thought process or support for the troops. You are pure politician, clear and simple. I shudder the thought of you being in either an elected or appointed position of power in our government. Do the American people a famor and do NOT run for elected office!

And speaking of foreign relations what about Rummy and Saddam holding hands and skipping in the early '80s? What about the arms sales to Afghanistan and Iran who probably used or will use them on our troops today? Why didn't daddy Bush go after Saddam in '92? Rumsfeld and Bush Sr. and Cheney knew about the weapons then and how Saddam used them on his own people. Where was their 'compassion' then you unamerican fool? A lot of the Reaganites are in the White House today trying to fix a problem they didn't take care of 20yrs ago? You want to know what they have come up with to solve the problem? Deception to get us into a war, no plan to get us out, cut's in military pay and benefits, and a Terror Futures Index Market to make money at predicting terror and assassinations. Democrats huh?

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. But we need someone who will think carefully about the longterm ramifications of dramatic policy shifts and military campaigns. We have been lied to by the Bush-Cheney administration. A well-deserved and appropriate campaign to root out extremists and Taliban fighters in Afganistan is incomplete. We are now mired for the forseeable future in Iraq; a campaign that was initiated under fradulent pretext. Our children (including my child) is being saddled with enormous budget deficits that consist largely so Bush can borrow money in the future so the ultrawealthy can have enormous tax cuts today. Where is the leadership? Why aren't more people outraged? I would suggest there is no clear alternative; no Democratic or Independent candidate for President that is speaking with a clear, reasoned message. We need a candidate who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times.

To Whom It May Concern: After months of deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that Wesley Clark is the most qualified candidate for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. He brings to the race an experienced pragmatism and a common sense approach to politics that is unequaled by the current crop of candidates. General Clark, if you're reading this, your country needs you now more than ever before. We stand at a point in history where our brash foreign policy could make enemies of important strategic allies. You could bring a strong and protective presence to our nation, while bringing back government based on rational thought and respect for our fellow world citizens. I feel that the two are not mutually exclusive, and I hope you will consider a run at the presidency before it's too late. Thank you sir, for giving us who still think for ourselves a little hope. P.S. I relish the thought of a debate between you and the current president, and I hope you will pay special attention to his AWOL years. As an afterthought, have you considered Max Cleland as a potential VP candidate? I'd also like to see him debate Chickenhawk Cheney.

America is in dire need of your many talents, including your comprehensive understanding of military strategy and economics. I agree with your positions on civil justice and education, and I think a large portion of America does too. However, we do not have a voice in the current exclusionary and reactionary policies of the Bush administration. My name is Jay. I'm a young voter who is being energized to the polls for the first time -- not by any grassroots naivete, but by the exciting potential your campaign has. Right now I'm a political economy major at Tulane University, and if there's one thing I can see instantly from looking at the current state of the state, it's this: the American public needs Wesley Clark to serve us again in distinguished fashion. Already you have held offices placing you among the most powerful men and women in the world; it is time to ascend to the highest. I've been telling my friends about your potential candidacy, and many are excited by the possibility. Right now the Democratic primaries are awash with dreamers and compromisers, and I am hard pressed to find a national leader already taking shape among the nine hopefuls. It does not take any sort of an expert to see you already fit the mold. Even if your own ambitions do not move you to seek office, the plight of the American public should. We need changes in national policy right now, and we need a man who can accomplish these goals. You are that man. For my sake, and the sake of all other unheard and disillusioned Americans, please, run. I appreciate your time. Jay Hazen

Dear General Clark: This past Sunday, I wasn't feeling well, and I decided to taking a nap in our upstairs bedroom. I turned on "Face the Nation" because I knew it would bore me to sleep. However, my ears perked up like radar when I heard a few of your comments regarding the Iraq situation. "Hmmm", I thought--"who is this guy? I'm liking what I'm hearing." I wasn't even looking at the television, just listening. Finally, at the end of your commentary, I had to see who this guy was. Then it clicked. "Oh, yeah, him." I couldn't keep my mind off that interview all day. And yesterday, I hopped on the internet at work during my lunch hour and found out more. I read everything. And there's only one this to say, 'YOU MUST RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!" No, ifs, ands or buts.....you are the leader this country is starving for and the only candidate who can kick The Lessor's butt!!!!! I'm conjuring up this fabulous televised debate that will make that fool finally cower. I could go on for hours telling you how much harm he has done to this country. The time is NOW to announce your decision to run!

Oh dear God, Mr. Clark, PLEASE help save us from the Republican mess we are in, and from the bland boring and pandering Democrats who have made it all possible. please please please.... 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, we need a viable candidate to remove President George Bush from office in 2004. It so happens that I agree with most of your positions, and as a former military officer of high stature, you will have the ability to represent the Democratic Party with credibility in issues of security, terrorism, national defense and civil liberties. Additionally, I will not vote for any candidate who supported the war in Iraq. I was dubious about the short term outcomes and terrified of the long term outcomes. We need to build bridges with the rest of the world, not create more animosity. Please consider running for President. We need a change of course for America.

Dear General Clark, As a citizen of the United States I have become quite confused and alarmed by the direction our country has taken under the current adminstration. I've heard you speak at the commonwealth club in San Francisco and in other venues. Your views on the issues facing this nation seem well thought out and practical. As a fellow citizen I urge you to run for president. The current democratic field has produced only one canidate that I can feel can generate any excitement in the electorate, Howard Dean. I'm concerned the Dr. Dean hasn't thought out exactly what he would do if elected, besides not be George Bush. While that is a start, I feel that you can also generate the same kind of grassroots excitement in moderates like myself and come up with a better plan for our country. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

You can show America that the flag does not belong to just one party and that it is not unpatriotic to offer a different view of the American dream. Your country needs you more now than ever.

Dear General Clarke, I just wanted to write to add my voice to those Americans who are encouraging you, even pleading with you to enter the 2004 presidential race on the democratic ticket. It is my firm belief that you are the only man capable of winning against the present administration. I am sorry though that in asking you to serve you will be inheriting the horrible problems created by the most destructive group of people in history. But I ask you… if in 4 short years these neo-cons could turn a huge surplus into massive deficits, alienate America from even her closest allies, lose some 3 million Americans their jobs while not creating a single one, set our environmental standards so low as to not even exist, get us into an unnecessary war, allow corporate crime to run rampant to the point of destroying all consumer confidence what might these people do if given another 4 years? I know that probably no one alive has served his country longer and more honorably and deserves his retirement more than you, but your country needs you now more than ever before. I am one of the poor folks living from month to month but I will pledge what I can in money and time to your campaign if you will answer the call to serve just one more time for the sake of a very troubled United States of America. Sincerely, Rachel Taylor White female age 51 Cleveland Ohio

Dear General Clark, As an American, I feel like I have little choice in a Presidential candidate who will do the right thing, without regard to political or economic pressures. I am looking for a demostrative leader, not a self-appointed cowboy who does what HE wants to do without regard to the consequences. If you can be the sort of President that I describe above, I believe you owe it to yourself and to citizens like me to run for the office.

Sir, you are the kind of leader this country is yearning for.

If you do decide to run, you'll have my full support and my vote. Thank you, Charles Egan

Sir, I am a verteran of the united states army. I served six years on active duty, and three with the WI national guard. I have completed tours in korea and southwest asia. On the 11th of Sept, 2001 america united, and came together as one. On Mar 20, 2003 the current administration divided this country at it's core. I am expecting my first child in december and I worry about the world he or she will have to face. I have followed your military career, and have also had the pleasure of working along side those that have served under you. Your time is now, your country need you more than ever. What is taking place in Iraq will come back to haunt america for decades if it isn't brought under control. The armed services will face a huge recruiting /retention problem, because of the half truths they were told prior to deployment. I don't feel any safer today now that saddam has gone into hiding. I spent five months on the Iraq/Kuwait border and never felt that my life was in imminent danger. This administration has used fear as a tool to move forward with thier agenda which they refuse to come clean on. Unfortunetly, a national guard pilot from texas dosen't have all the answers. Even if he did, I doubt he would share them. Remember your first day at the academy, your first day as president will be much the same. One million questions, zero answers. But you did it anyway because it was what you chose to do and you suceeded. I look forward to the 2004 fall debates when the question of national security arises and the gentleman from texas tells us that "tax cuts" will take care of nat'l security. Do me a favor after you take office, ask Mr. Rumsfeld if saddam hussien was an evil person in december of 1983 when they sat down together for talks in baghdad. Your the man for the job, count on my vote and support. Thank you.

General Clark: Looking around, at what the world has become, and what is involved within, this country needs the leadership that you can provide. We are in a very serious war, with very serious consequences, not only on the warfront, but on the homefront as well. As a military strategist we need you. As a diplomat we need you. You took an oath, long ago, that involves, duty, honor, and country. Your country needs you now, more than ever. Just as President Bush claims God put him here at this time, the same is to be said of you. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. You would be remiss not to run. The time is now and the time is yours. Seize it and do your best. The only lost opportunity is the missed one. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I can continue on with all kinds of quotes, with the same meaning, but the fact remains, you are the best man for the job, like it or not. You WERE selected. Seize it, my friend: do your best. God bless and be safe. J

How a former member of the United States Army can even think about running for President of The United States on a Democratic ticket is beyond me. The Democrats have proven themselves time and time again that they are anti-military. To even think about running for the Democrats is a disgrace to the uniform that you wore. As a former member of our great country's armed forces I am ashamed that you served under the same flag as me and other fellow Americans. If you do decide to run for president I would be happy to vote against you. Bush in 2004!!!!

Dear General Clark, I like you and have enjoyed your commentary on CNN. I must admit I don't know if it was a good idea because it could undermine the efforts of your peers wearing the stars. Aside from that I enjoy your commentary. I write this to you as a fan so I want you to know that I have the utmost respect for you. I wish you would not attack the President, it just defies logic that you want to take up with the Democrats. They are complete idiots! Their message is just anti-Republican. I like what the president is doing in the middle east/Arab world. I think any student of history can see that if we do not win this battle on Arab lands then we will be forced to fight it in our streets. If Al Gore was in the White House he would have surrendered to the Taliban. You know this, you are a smart man. Don't let your ambition to become president overcome your sense of right and wrong. Throw your support behind Bush for four more years and then run as a Republican in 2008. I WILL VOTE FOR YOU THEN, hell I will hand out literature for you then. Sincerely, Perry M. Bone

Dear General Clark: I admire your public service over the last several decades. Your respected leadership can be measured by the sheer number of citizens in this country that are coming out in support of you running for President. I watch closely the candidates that volunteer themselves up to run for President and all but a very small number throughout history have demonstrated responsible leadership in addition to having that key component, 'charisma,' which is necessary to help people and a nation help itself. When I listen to you speak, I sense what many others sense in you, a person who has compassion for others, a person willing to use the influence he knows he has to do the right things in life, even when they aren't always easy, and a person willing to sacrifice to make a positive difference in other people's lives. General Clark, you have all this and more. I, along with many others, look forward to you making the decision to run for President. It's not always an easy task to make a positive difference in people's lives. Yet, you get back a magnitude that often can't be calculated. This nation, this world, needs your leadership. Warm Regards, Sean

As the son of an NCO who won the Marne Man Award in the 1970s, I developed an enormous amount of respect for you after I heard a story you didn't even tell in your own book.

Dear General Clark: Our country has faced and surmounted grave dangers before--war, economic crisises, civil issues--but never has the scale been of the magnitude we face now. The present administration seems determined to undermine not only the progress of the past but the very principles of democracy and the values this country was founded upon. Your candidacy, in my opinion, will blunt the administration use of the security issue to instill fear in the American public. Other candidates for the democratic nomination do not have the credentials to reassure America. Your country needs you now just as it did when you chose to serve in the military. I look forward to your articulation of the issues and you can count on my support if you do decide to run. Hopefully, Peter R. Whitis, M.D.

General Clark, my wife and I have been to several countires within the past year-Egypt, Mexico, Jamaica, to mention a few. Much if not most of the world has lost respect for the US under the Bush regime.We are feared but not respected and many counties do not want to do business with us.We will lose a lot of business in the years to come. I have seen your interviews during the past week of August 18 and realize that you have the intellect and grasp to be the president that not only we Americans but the rest of the world can look up to and follow and respect. I am a retired Kellogg School MBA and if you run as a democrat, I pledge to give more time than I have ever given to any campaign because we live in a very dangerous time and have been misled by a group of people who do not have the capabality to get our country out of the quagmire that we should never have gotten into. Our country and the world needs your help.

Dear General Clark, America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I'm not sure if you are the person for this job, but I would like to see you seriously compare yourself with some of the other Democratic candidates We need a President with common sense, one with moderation, not a puppet ruler who cannot think for himself or herself. We need a candidate with unquestionable leadership and the foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004, as well as a candidate who will appeal to security-minded Americans. General Clark, I will not lie to you--your status as an investment banker is suspect to me, because I am weary of Bush's business connections that seem to have determined every aspect of national and foreign policy. If you come clean about your business interests and what influences they may have on your Presidency, I will seriously consider voting for you. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Sincerely, Patricia Fogarty Atlanta, GA

I've watched you many times on TV and have been impressed by your balanced views and thoughtful commentary. If our current President was as thoughtful we would not be in the mess we now find ourselves. If you run, I will support you! Sincerely,Philip

Dear General: I wonder what a life-bending decision this must be for you? You and your family have both my sympathy and a wee bit of jealousy. That said, you're qualified to get us out of this mess and I'm not-- so on to you! You're charismatic without being overwhelming. You're informed yet, somehow, almost naively awed by the splendour of America's dream. You appear to see the reality of this country's future spiralling toward a foreign and domestic nose-dive, but the confidence you exude suggests that you see a way out and up-- and you'll take us with you. We watched the charge to Bagdad with you on CNN. You deftly guided us through the complexities of war, and calmed us. That's no small task; the administration was glued to talking points and circular logic. You were human through it all and a fine leader. Thank you. I truly hope you choose to run, General, and that said, I've been politically active since the Boar War (more or less), and am honored to volunteer to help should you choose to run. My family and friends are with you; we hope you choose to serve the country just one more time. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Most sincerely, Priscilla Tingley

26.8.03 Dear General Clark, Generally speaking, I am against former military running for the presidency. However, our present situation demands a person like you. You are an expert in world affairs. You have an excellent educational background. Your military experience is above and beyond the call of duty. You understand the military mind, but you are not overwhelmed by it. In addition, you appear to have a mind that can deal with economics and philosophy. These are not unrelated fields. Maybe you can deal effectively with the military industrial complex. Good Luck! God bless! Please take up the challange.

Dear General Clark; After watching your interviews for the last several weeks, I announced to my husband last night when he got home from work that you, without a shadow of a doubt, would be our next president! He chuckled out loud and asked me if I thought an election would even be necessary. I assured him that I could save the other canidates alot of money if they would just call me and ask me. Seriously, I think President Bush has disappointed many Americans. I am a small business owner that has been in business for nine years. Business has never been worse, and I'm working harder and longer than ever before just to keep the doors open! I have a 22 year old brother in Bagdhad that feels like his Government has decieved him. He was pulled out of college in March for active duty. (He's a medic in the Army National Guard) September 15th will be six months for him. He has not been given any idea as to when to expect to go home. Contrary to what visiting government officials say, moral is very, very low in Iraq. Our American soldiers know they are in a country where they are not wanted! They have just recently been able to take showers and have hot meals. My family and I have sent boxes and boxes of food and toiletry items. Realizing that my brother would probably be called to active duty, I was still in support of President Bush going into Iraq and bringing down Sadam Hussien and his weapons of mass destruction. After all he lead me and all of America to believe that we were in immediate danger! I could go on and on but I won't. Every issue that I've heard you discuss in you interws I totally and 100% agree with. You seem honost and sincere to the core. I appreciate your straight and crystal clear answers. PLEASE, PLEASE GENERAL CLARK, AMERICA NEEDS YOU TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!! Sincerely, Renee Smith

General Clark, I write this letter imploring you to run for president because I am a concerned citizen and like you, a patriot. By patriot I mean one who loves this country and the ideals upon which it was founded: life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, protection of individual freedoms and the rule of law. By patriot, I mean one who fully understands how these ideals are essential to the survival of a democracy and the United States' status as the world's premier example of the same. Currently, in the wake of 9/11, there are many who attempt to co-opt the word 'patriot' and make it imply unquestioning support of our current administration and its policies, and 'America first, rest of the world be dammed'. Under the banner of 'national security', this misguided and shortsighted interpretation of patriotism has moved our great nation into near-pariah status in the eyes of the rest of the world and threatens the very security it purports to enhance. You, sir, are the embodiment of true patriotism and our current, best hope to correct the American public's understanding of the word. In just a few short years, I have watched our government turn further and further away from its essential responsibilities of championing individual freedoms, human rights, protecting the environment, and fostering long term peace and democracy throughout the world. Instead, the focus has been on consolidating and enhancing the power of the powerful, further enriching the coffers of the rich, and imposing an Americentrist agenda on the international community. Despite these and other alarming trends, as a citizen, a patriot and a career service member, I am still proud to be an American, but certainly less so than at any other time in my life. I believe you can help steer us back on course and away from what I see as a perilous foray into a forebodingly anti-democratic, un-American quagmire from which we may never recover. Running for president is a monumental undertaking and would be, no doubt, a tremendous sacrifice for you and your family. That said I would like to add my voice to the steadily building chorus calling for you to run. I have never been as worried about our country's future, or as excited and hopeful about the chance to brighten it as I am today. You have the intelligence, philosophy, credentials and charisma required to win the presidency, and more importantly, the correct national and world-view to be successful at it, and make a profoundly positive impact on this country’s future. Providence has put you in the right place at the right time. The conveyor belt leading you to the White House has started rolling with the ever-increasing motive force your growing band of supporters is supplying. All you need to do now, sir, is step up on it and we will get you there. Run for president. Please. Jesse Kingg

Dear General Clark, I have had the supreme pleasure of watching your interviews on TV. I have been monitoring The Draft Wesley Clark website for about 6 weeks, or better. I wanted to get a good feel for your points of view before writing this to you and offering my support. I must say that I have had a resurgence in my overall belief in this country since seeing your interviews. What this country needs is a person, such as yourself, who not only speaks his mind clearly, but offers honest answers when asked about this country's most important issues. I have not once heard you theorize about something you haven't formulated your own opinion about, nor have I heard you use ad hominem attacks toward the men behind some of the issues you've been asked about recently. You're a fair and intelligent man. I'm not sure this email is any different from the types you have been reading asking you to run for President. However, I want you to know that I not only tell everyone I meet to watch out for your interviews on TV and try to catch one, but I, on a personal level feel that this country will be much worse in the many years to come if you do not run for President. For all the people that I've spoken to over the past few weeks about your candidacy, for the next generations of Americans to come who need to experience an America similar to the one where we were raised, and of course for my own needs to have a person with real integrity, vision, honesty, and intelligence. . .please run for President. Everything you've done in life to this point may have been the proper preparation required for a person, like you, at a time like this, to make a real difference in the lives of Americans and our world family. Sincerely, Donald A. Piccirillo

However, I was struck by the absense of any reference (unless I missed it in a 2AM reading) to the excellent Hart-Rudman commission report on defense of the United States in the 21st century. Does this reflect some unhappiness on your part with that candid and constructive effort? Is that report, in your view, not on the mark? Respectfully, William Lewis

PLUS, WE WOULD HAVE FAITH IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, AND HUMANITY. WE ARE ALREADY PROUD OF YOU AS A PERSON, AS A LEADER, AS A SCHOLAR, .... I, too, believe that you have the ability to defeat George W. Bush; and, that you may be the only person with the personal and professional credentials who would be able to defeat the myth and lies of the accomplishments, etc., of Bush and His Henchmen and Henchwomen. PLEASE RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY; OUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU AND THE WORLD & ITS CITIZENRY NEED YOU. As you and I both know, we are living in life-threatening lethal times; and, I truly believe that you are probably the only person who has the ability to save our lives. You have our family as supporters of your candidacy. Yours truly, The Combs Family General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

The three declared candidates that I like are Kucinich, Sharpton, and Dean however I do not believe that any of them can defeat the current, acting President. I do not know alot about your views and never thought I would support a military man for President but you are very charming and from what I have read at this website and heard you say on TV, it appears your principles and values are akin to my own. I believe you would be able to defeat the madmen now in control of our government and I pray you will announce your candidacy soon. Thank you for your consideration.

General Clark, My name is Pierce Johnston and even though I know you probably will not have the time to read this letter yourself I did wish to say more than the simple form provided by draft Wesley Clark.com I am 23 years old and have been raised all my life as a republican. I was thrilled to vote for Bush in the 2000 election. I fell my support has been misused and my trust in the Republican party has fallen, especially since the events of 9/11. After seeing you on crosefire I knew that there was yet some hope for America during these dark times, that hope was you. Myself and several other consertive frinds of mine said to hell with the party will will vote with the dems if that is what it takes to get you in office. Thats not to say I hope you run as a Dem, but even if you did we will put our ideals of the Republican Party asside because you are turly the right man for the job. If you do run let me know if I can help. I am a consertive college graduate and even though I have a 150 I.Q. I have had trubble in this new-new-new economy to find a fullfilling job, so in other words I would rather work for you for free than take a meaningless job right now. Please run Americia needs you J. Pierce Johnston Now for the form letter: 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: Not aware of this website when I first heard you comment on CNN, I said to my wife "this man needs to run for President. I imediately recognized the clairity with which you spoke and the cool demeanor with which you delivered your message. Now that I have read your bio it is easy to see that you would make a great leader for this contry. And that is what we desperately need. Even though a registered Republican, I, and many I know, see this country and its citizens being manipulated to promote the interests of a cabal who seem more dedicated to self-interest than to the general welfare of these United States. I believe some do not believe in democrary and many find the Constitution very inconvient and a road-block to their goals. On another level I am just tired of government by slogan and the quick quip. George Bush may occupy the White House but he surely is not the man in control. One expects partianhip and loyaltyto party but I am also terribly troubled by the experienced Republicans in Congress who are enabling this adminstration to make the rich richer and the rest of us powerless. Sir, I do think you could win this election and get us out of the morass in which we currently find ourselves. I hope party affilation is not a problem.

Dear Mr. Clark: Please do run for President! I will not only vote for you but will work hard for your election over the internet (I am disabled). May I make a few suggestions? Do no wait beyond September 30 to announce your candidacy. Do not over-emphasize your splendid military record; all voters will be familiar with it soon enough (i.e., do not run simply as a General). Do emphasize your solid experience in diplomacy and international affairs, and your training in economics. National security has been your forte. Now you need to think hard about what you would do about the nation's many serious economic problems, and you need to be seeking the advice of recognized experts to develop specific, well-considered programs that will stand up under the attacks of Karl Rove & Co. That is where you will be vulnerable to attempts to discredit your competence to lead the country. As an independent voter, I urge you to enter the race as a Democrat. I think you are the only person in the country who has a strong chance of beating George W. Bush in 2004. That doesn't mean that you will win, but if you give it your best you at least have a fighting chance. Your country needs you as never before, sir. Sincerely, Robert E. Phillips

America needs a new president. You are the best hope of unseating Pres. Bush and puting a stop to the distructin he is reaping throughout the World. As a public educator I am very conserned about the plight of our schools and the idiocy of the "leave no child behind" plan. A more accurate name would be "Leave no attorney behind"--Federal mandates with out any money--It seems as though the current administration wants public schools to fail in order to justify some type fo voucher program. Also, the current tax cuts are rediculous. My wife and I will benefit on a personal level, but the nation overall will suffer unless the current tax trend is changed. Please run!!!!!Your country needs you. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Gen. Clark, America needs a candidate who: A) Can make the American people feel he'll make them safer from terrorism while also avoiding entangling the nation in needless wars, B) Makes major decisions based on information rather than the faith-based "logic" currently in DC, & 3) will actually try to make the world safer instead of winning the media spin on whether or not he's making the world safer. As much as I like Dean, he'll get mauled in an general election because he's seen as weak on foreign policy. None of the other Dems seem like they can beat Dean in the primaries. The nation NEEDS you to run for president. Thanks, Chris Jaffe

General Clark- The current administration is taking our country in a dangerous and frightening direction. George Bush's arrogant, reckless foreign policy puts us in more danger every day. He is simply not qualified to lead us in these dangerous and complicated times. None of the declared Democratic candidates have your credentials in the areas of national security and foreign policy. The Bush administration's dismal economic record, and the ongoing quagmire in Iraq may not be enough to move the frightened, post 9/11, voting population away from Bush's "perceived" strong defense stand . We need a candidate with overwhelming qualifications in this area. You are the only one who can compete with George Bush. As a small business owner, the last three years have been the most difficult economic conditions that I have faced. Every day is a struggle. Last year my husband and I worked the ENTIRE year without salary to avoid laying off our employees. We poured our savings into our business because we knew there were no jobs for either us or our employees if we were to close. Although you may not have developed national economic policy before, it is simply not possible for you to do a worse job than the current administration. At least you have an academic background in economics. You were probably awake in class when Keynesian Economics was discussed and understand that the answer to every problem is not a tax cut. As a taxpayer, a small business owner and citizen I want a 4 star general and Rhodes Scholar as my President not baseball team owner who barely made it through school. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Sincerely, Martha Haywood The current administration is taking our country in a dangerous and frightening direction. George Bush's fori policy General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear Gen. Clark, Like most of my fellow citizens who are horrified and frightened by the present administration's patronizing, manipulative contempt for working people (including soldiers deployed in Iraq, whose combat pay and veterans' benefits matter much less than tax cuts for rich people), I confess I'll vote for anyone at all who opposes G.W. Bush in 2004. However, the idea that you might run does better than that -- if you were to run, I could actually feel INSPIRED to vote! You truly command my admiration, as a brave man with a noble personal history who upholds the humane, progressive, LIBERAL values that I revere. It's exciting for me, as a lifelong lefty-progressive Democrat, to find a principled military man whose political perspective is like mine. So much for the right-wing nutzos who think Democrats are all wusses, and so much for lefty-losers who think military leaders are all knee-jerk Republicans -- General Clark, please run for President and give folks like me a REAL candidate to vote for!

Dear General Clark, Please consider running as Vice-Presidential candidate with Governor Howard Dean. I believe the two of you together would be an unbeatable team. He's built so much excitement and momentum over the past several months with Democrats, but if you would join him as his running mate, you would, no doubt, attract non-Democrats as well, and I can't think of a stronger ticket. The important thing is to stop the reckless, dangerous actions of George W. Bush and his hardliners. You can do it. You can change the current disastrous course of our nation. Governor Dean has publicly indicated an interest in selecting you as his running mate. Please give it serious consideration. Thank you for the years of outstanding service. Sincerely, M. Sue Daugherty

You are a fraud. As a retired military member myself, you are a perfect example of the political officer who was only concerned with his own well-being while those below you did all the heavy lifting, and you took the glory and credit. And nothing has changed since you've swapped your cammies for a suit and tie. You're still out there, running your mouth and taking all the credit for the work those soldiers and airmen did in your one little undertaking. I don't know how you sleep at night, you piece of crap.

I recently saw the staff on draftwesleyclark.com on CNN. When first watching, to be honest I could not remember who was Wesley Clark. The name was familliar. Then I remembered your CNN analysis on the weeks and months following 9/11. Your analysis demonstrated a a thorough understanding of the issues and challenges. I also remember your role as the head of NATO. Your leadership is well documented. In general there are three things that make a candidate "electable" Integrity Competence Leadership You possess all three. I think, if you choose to run, you will be the only credible opposition candidate. If you don't run, George Bush has a free ticket the re-election. Can America afford 4 more years of Bush? We need you, sir. Please run.

I am a retired electrical engineer and worked on military and space programs for over 35 years i am married and have six grandchildren. I have always voted for a republican president and i voted for george bush. i now believe that he is a very dangerous man in this position. he has surrounded himself with people that do not have the united states' interests foremost and if re-elected will ruin our country politically here and abroad as well as economically. we need a strong democratic candidate who is attractive to the electorate and who can debate these issues forcefully, i do not believe that any of the current democratic candidates are strong enough to convince the voters to vote for them instead of bush. i think you could be that person. but you have to take a strong stand agaisnt bush's economic and foreign policies. howard dean has made some headway doing this but i dont think he presents as much of a presidential image as you do. i know this sounds phoney but the sad fact is that many of the american people vote more for a persons image then they do for the man or his positions. a strong image and bold positions can make the difference. we dont need a lightweight clone of george bush as the democratic nominee.

General Clark, I am extremely dissatisfied with our current state of affair in the USA today. I want my government to represent all Americans fairly, not just the wealthy and the powerful. I'm just sick of the way Bush took us into an unnecessary war, and I want someone who's smart and courageous enough to see the threats more clearly. I agree with your stance on the Iraq situation. I have been following the Democratic Presidential candidates closely, and I am not happy with most of them (except Dean) who seem to be afraid to stand up to Bush. What this country needs is a hands on president who geuninely understands and care about the economic and social problems we face. I honestly believe that Bush is too dumb to be a governor, let alone a president. I love your calm yet firm and thoughtful demeanor, and sticking to issues rather than rhetorics. Please join the Democratic Party to help oust our dumb president. You'll get my serious consideration. Sincerely,

Dear General Clark, These days I do not like it when I watch television. I am going to be a citizen of this country next month. I am a card carrying Libertarian. I believed in the world of Ronald Reagan. I was sad when George HW Bush lost his election, but I am not happy today with the Rumsfeld Pentagon. The reason for this is the following. Rumsfeld came to the Pentagon along with Wolfowitz with a pre-conceived notion that Saddam should go. After 9/11, he had decided to go to Iraq as he saw that the idea could be sold to America. He left the job in Afghanistan half done. Where a strong military ground force was needed he sent in the Northern Alliance. Where house to house searches to find Bin Ladin was needed he sent in the Pakistani Military. The man and his buddies are at Large. I spent four years researching Bin Ladin for my novel set in South Asia. (published anonymously) My efforts were vindicated when as in the novel, terrorists attempted to enter the Kashmir Assembly and then the Indian Parliament, post 9/11. I killed Bin Ladin in my novel. I was hoping that Rumsfeld would get him in the hills of Spin Boldak. Instead we are today making new enemies in Iraq. In this tag game called axis of evil, every day a new country like Iran or Syria is told, "You're it". And sadly enough, an Amen Corner friendly American Media today jumped on this bandwagon. Frankly, I think this National Security team, (I have tremendous respect for Colin Powell) is playing into the Bin Ladin Gambit. Bin Ladin likes to say that it is in the nature of people to love a strong horse. It will take him just one more successful terror attack to emerge as a hero, a strong horse. After such an attack he will tell the US get out of Iraq, or else. This is how a terrorist would fight. As for our borders, I think they are porous. I think the openings into the US are many. Bin Ladin could perhaps (A) shoot a chemical or nuclear SilkWorm missile from a Windsor, Canada suburb into Detroit. (B) Use Molotov cocktails inside an airplane (C) Do a conventional McVeigh bomb (D) Fire a shoulder fired missile into DisneyLand. I drove through from Canada and nobody really checked anything. The American Homeland will be secure when (A) Bin Ladin and the rest of the Al-Qaeda leadership is killed (B) A Palestinian state is established (C) Peace is made with Arab Nations and their peoples post Bin Ladin Normally, I would vote Libertarian, but I plan to make a special case for the next election and will elect Wesley Clark, if you do us the honor of running. I want to see Bin Ladin defeated and America stand just and proud again, first among equals, but one among equals. Admired not feared, honored not plotted against. We need your leadership, General. Thanks srini

dear general clark, I am writing, as I am scared, fear of the terrorists, goes with out saying, what concerns me more deeply is my present governments' response to the world situation, after 9/11. I am a minister and I travel and work extensively in Europe.... I am frightened by how much our present government has alienated Europe and the rest of the world. I am scared by the manipulation of the populous, and what has become acceptable behavior of an American in order to be a good citizen, something is terribly out of balance, and though there are some good people running for the democratic nomination, none has the voice and experience you do working with true danger and united cooperation. I appreciate your clarity, calmness, and kindness, I can appreciate your family would be reluctant to take on this burden, and I would if I could.... Things have gotten out of hand if my friends and I, at the age of 56, talk about moving out of the country in order to feel some kind of return of gracefulness. Though I am a minister, I am frightened by how much the religious right wing seems to have control of the philosophical agenda in our country, what would Ben Franklin say, let alone George Washington. If you run, I pledge you my support and prayers, Sincerely, Jessica Britt

Dear General Clark: I saw you on Crossfire about a month ago. I was so impressed by your answers that I did a search on google and typed Wesley Clark but I couldn't find anything solid. But few days ago I heard about www.draftwesleyclark.com and I felt as if my dreams came true.I knew that there are many people around the country that want you to lead us for a better future. Let me tell you why you should run; I have my own selfish reasons. I was born and raised in Nepal. When I was growing up we had teachers from the US, who used to teach us Maths, Science and English. They taught us a lot about different subjects and much more. This one day they mentioned about the American dream: imagine big, work hard and you'll make it big. Since then I've worked hard and studied hard to make it big someday. But these days I feel the American dream as just being a myth or something that sells books. I need 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.

We believe that you present the education, experience and character that can turn this country around, and bring the world closer to peace. As a Democratic Party activist in New Mexico, an early caucus state, I find daily that other activists are increasingly turning to a Clark candidacy as the most positive and hopeful. If you'll run, we'll be there.

Please run; as you may be the only one with enough experience to understand how these foreign countries work. I believe our government is run by a lot of weak people that are more concerned about themselvesd. They do the politically correct easy way out; not the way most people think it should be done. You must look at the long term results (and it takes time to get their). Thanks for running you will have more support than you think. Good Luck.

Sir: This country needs you more than anyone at any other time in history. I am a WWII veteran, earned the Combat Infantryman's Badge, and am extremely bitter about the chickenhawks who are sending our troops to be psychologically traumatized, maimed and killed for all the wrong reasons. Most combat veterans suffer from one of these effects. Earlier this year George W. Bush honored the troops and shortly after that cut the funds for the Veteran's Affairs. Such appalling hypocrisy. Three months later, when, for the first time in 50 years, I applied for health benefits I was turned down because of a shortage of funds. Friends who applied six months earlier were accepted. I felt like throwing my CIB away. You are one person we vets see as a fellow veteran and are the kind of leader whom we would follow anywhere. Next year I'll be 80 years old so don't move too fast.

I was watching C-span when I saw the effort being made for you to run, and immediately I thought to myself....now this is somebody I would vote for. This spontaneous thought came about without knowing what your agend is in various topics, but nevertheless it was a gut instinct, and that is what I will stick by. For some strange reason you look to be an inspiring and credible person. Perhaps it is your education or your military past. Democrat or Republican does not concern me. I believe that you will do a great job. Your military experience and upbrining alone will set new standards for what the presidency should be about. A sense of restoration is deemed necessary in these new times for our country and the world. I am looking forward to see you running for the presidency, and I hope you do so. Good Luck.

Clark's resume fits job description precisely. Candidate's qualifications in National Security, Defense, Diplomacy and Intelligence are up to the demands of the office Has combat experience. Strong academic record in related fields of poitics and economics. This candidate is easily more qualified in most areas of professional experience, hands-on management of large organzations, budgeting and related business skillset, than is the current occupant of the office of President. The question of Gen. Clark that the electorate will be asking, will have nothing to do with his qualifications for the job. Those are already assured. The questions most voters will be asking about this candidate is: Can we trust him ? Is he a good man. Is he ethical ? Does he care about his country ? Does he believe in justice ? We know he's tough enough for the job. But is he fair ?

General Clark, The United States has a lot of fixing to do. We need to fix our relationships with many in the international community. We need someone who has credibility, intelligence and flexibility. We need to say goodbye to the rigid "with us or against us" rhetoric. We need you to be the President of the United States.

Please run for president General Clark! The news is just going to get more and more depressing if you don't. When a clear-headed capable guy showed up on Meet the Press and said he might run for president, I had hope for the our nation and the world for the first time in years. P.S. I voted absentee in Florida, to no avail!

Dear General Clark, You are my choice for President, should you decide to run. I like your no-nonsense attitude and fairness. Please help rebuild our relations with countries around the world and please help keep us safe. Work smarter, not harder. Try to make our government more efficient, not more cumbersome. I think the Department of Homeland Security is like the Department of Redundancy Department. We already have the National Security Agency, FBI, and CIA. The problem before Sept. 11th was a lack of exchange of information between the agencies. So, instead of putting all of these agencies under one roof, we added another burecratic agency with which no one will communicate. Find a way to improve the efficiency of our federal resources. Protect our environment. Help improve our relations with the world. Help solve the root problems around the world and not just the symptoms. I think Bush is trying to solve the root problems, but I'm not sure he's going about it the best way. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Thank you very much for your consideration.

General Clark, I am a former Army NCO and Officer. I am not happy with the direction of the Bush Administration's foreign policy especially in Iraq. We need leadership that restores our credibility in the world and with our key allies. We need to work with the UN to produce results that do not leave the US alone attempting to impose solutions on other countries. I believe that your are the leader that can give us a stable foreign policy so that resources can be used to promote needed improvements in our own country instead of wasted in foreign adventures that are best conducted in unision with allies. General Clark, America needs you now! You have our support. Please run for president.

Is it any wonder that other Countries do not like and sometimes hate the United States. My husband and I have talked many times about moving to another Country, especially if things do not change. I love my Country, but not like this and it's time that the people have a real choice and not the same "Good Old Boys". Please General Clark, run for President.

We, as Americans are so divided right now and that's exactly how George Bush wants it. We need to unite for the good of this great country. I cannot and will not sit idly by and watch our country be destroyed by George Bush. I believe YOU can be our saving grace. You have the education, the experience and the leadership this country so desperately needs. Please, help us restore honor and dignity in the Whitehouse. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear Gen. Clark, I plead with you to run for president, but I have some ideas on how I feel you should do it. The Democrats seem to have difficulty articulating a message. I offer what I believe can and should be the winning message for the candidate that wins the White House in 2004. I stipulate that a message improperly delivered is perhaps worse than no message at all; successful articulation includes repetition, emphasis, and a flair for putting one’s opponent on the defensive. A candidate that embraces this message should not say everything written here all at once, but perhaps one of these paragraphs each week, so that the news media properly digests the meaning. Having said that, if I wished to become President, this is what I would say: “This administration insists that this election is about a war against terrorism. This administration refuses to define what it calls “terrorism.” It seems to mean one thing for our friends and another for our enemies. While I insist on working closely with our allies to genuinely defeat Al Qaeda, I do not believe in wars against shadow enemies, and without a definition of terrorism, this administration takes us down a dark, dishonest road. I choose not to fight a war against an undefined enemy. I choose instead to fight a war for security. “This administration will not define what it means by a war against terrorism, but I will define what I mean by a war for security. First, it means a war for something instead of a war against something. It means choosing to appeal to hope and not fear. This administration wants Americans to continue being scared about their future. I think Americans have good reason to be hopeful about their future. “I define security in three key areas: national security, local security, and economic security. Unlike this administration, I am happy to define what I mean. “National security means working closely with our allies to defeat Al Qaeda and bring home Osama Bin Laden’s head on a plate. This president told us that he was “a uniter, not a divider,” then told our fifty-year allies that they were “either with us or against us.” National security means an end to such hypocrisies. National security is not alienating friends who may be able to provide important help. If, God forbid, a bomb explodes somewhere, anywhere, killing Americans, the American people deserve to know that their White House has done everything possible to prevent that spilled American blood, including working closely with all our allies to defeat our enemies. This administration has said that it “can go it alone.” I believe American lives are too precious for such an attitude. “National security means finding out what really happened on 9/11. This administration has stymied such efforts. National security means homeland security with teeth. This administration would rather use that money to give its rich friends tax cuts. National security means finding the anthrax killer. “This administration’s only consistency has been its inconsistency. One day, it tells us that no one imagined planes as weapons, the next day, it tells us that the CIA had been practicing for just such an emergency. One day it says we are going to war over weapons of mass destruction, the next day it says that such weapons do not matter. One day it says we don’t need the U.N.’s help, the next day it says we need it. National security means, above all things, honesty, consistency, and transparency. “National security does not mean ripping up the Constitution. This administration would have Americans think that desperate times call for desperate measures. I do not believe that Americans are desperate, I believe Americans are strong, and do not want their Constitution ignored. Ben Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential liberty for a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” What this administration has done in Guantanamo Bay is wrong. What this administration has done to Arab-Americans all over this country is unconstitutional and unethical. My White House will honor the documents set forth by our founding fathers. “9/11 was the worst day in our nation’s young history. But 9/11 is not a prop. This administration deeply dishonors the victims and heroes of that tragic day by using 9/11 as an excuse. As an excuse for what? As an excuse for campaign stunts. As an excuse for policies that it was pursuing on 9/10. As an excuse for tax cuts, a war against Saddam Hussein, and a war against everyone who disagrees with the hard right. “Local security can be summed up in one phrase: match our commitments in Iraq to our commitments in America. In other words, if we build a school in Iraq, we should build a school in America. If we help fund a hospital in Iraq, let’s help fund a hospital in America. If we assist the dispossessed and destitute in Iraq, let’s assist at the same level in America. If we force Iraqis to practice reasonable restraint with guns, let’s force the same reasonable restraint in America. If we refuse to let religious fundamentalists participate in Iraq’s government, let’s refuse the same thing here. The point is that if something is worth our commitment in Iraq, why would this administration be less committed to its own citizens? “Economic security means security for the well-being of all Americans. It does not mean cuts in Social Security, in Medicare, in veterans benefits, all monies that this administration prefers to dole out as corporate welfare and tax cuts to its rich friends. Economic security means a strong dollar. Economic security means preventing the deficit from rising further. I agree with Tom DeLay from a few years ago, who insisted on a balanced budget amendment. Economic security means not jeopardizing the future of our elderly and our children. There’s a simple question when you look at a picture of our current president: do you trust this man with your money? “Economic security does not mean secret deals with corporations that undermine our national confidence. Economic security does not mean environmentalism by Enron or post-war planning by Halliburton. Economic security, like national security, means transparency. When people ask this administration about these deals, President Bush calls in a hundred lawyers. What does this administration have to hide? “I ask the American people to join me in a war for security. I ask the American people to join me in demanding that this administration explain its half-truths, its evasions, and what it means by “terrorism.” I ask the American people to trust in hope and not fear. I ask for your nomination to become President of the United States.” Just a humble suggestion. Best regards, Daniel Smith-Rowsey

Several months ago, I watched a number of your CNN commentaries on the war in Iraq. Your insight on and clear minded approach to the situation inspired me, and left a lasting impression. When I heard that "General Clark" may be running for president, my memory of those discussions was refreshed, and I couldn't wait to find out if these two General Clarks were indeed one in the same. No presidential candidate has ever energized me to actively participate in his campaign until now. The thought of having a knowledgeable, capable, and courageous president and commander in chief is incredible. I thank you for considering serving our country at the time of its greatest need, and hope with all my heart that you will do so. I am making a $100 pledge at this site tonight, and plan to make more as needed in the future. Laura Clewell Corporate Fraud Investigator Age: 29

The problem of 20th century was the problem of color. The problem of the 21st century is militant Islam. Islam spread by the sword. It wipped out most if not all the Jews and Christians on the southern shore of the Mediterranean. This religion is at war with three other major religions. It is the only religion that sanctions killing non-belivers and perscribes death for apostasy. We need a president to set the tone for a war time America.

Gen Wesley Clark, I certainly hope you will run on the democratic ticket in 2004. Your military expertise is of the utmost importance at this time. Having grown up in the San Diego area and Oceanside,Ca. the military has been a big part of my life. You have the leadership and stamina to take on the existing white house. I am an senior citizen and remember when Ike ran. Despite some reports he was respected my many As I write this I am hearing about anothr GI killed in Iraq. More troops are needed in this war.NOW. This Iraq was was ill advised at best. Having lived thru the Viet Nam, Korea and others I see the need for outstanding miltary mind and vision is needed.This area is highly military minded as you well know. My hope is it will be you leading the democrats to victory in 2004! Thanx for serving our country and let's get on with it! CLARK FOR PRESIDENT 2004 Sincerely, Margaret Doser San Diego (burb) Ca.

General Clark, If your country ever needed you, it needs you now. George Bush has been President for just two and a half years, and the destruction has been remarkable. When he "won" the election, I was afraid, because he showed so little intelligence. I said to myself, how much damage can he do in just 4 years? The budget surplus has disappeared and we have a huge deficit. Unemployment went from under 4% to over 6%. Everyone is living in a constant state of fear, and our sons and daughters, husbands and wives are dying in Iraq. Please General Clark, you have an opportunity to protect our country from even further peril. We really need you. Thank you for listening to my opinion. Inez Wilkes.

America desperately needs new leadership. As the old saying goes, "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there." At present, I do not believe the Bush Administration knows where it is going and, worse, where it is taking us. You possess the educational background, the military experience, and the common sense values to right the ship before it is too late. If you lead, I know people will follow. I will. Please run for president. We're looking for leaders we can respect and admire. Americans want to be proud of their president again.

Dear Gen. Clark, Although I'm not yet a voter I do pay close attention to American politics. In the last election, I was turned off by the lack of choice on the ballot. And since Bush has gotten into office I don't think he's done his job well. He's a good leader in hard times, but his domestic policy hasn't been working and his foreign policy didn't fit with me when he started pushing for the war in Iraq. I feel decieved by the President. But you seem like an honest guy. You have real combat experience and some of the best credentials I've ever seen. Not only would you present an alternative choice on the ballot, but I think you would make an excellent president. I urge you to run for office, because I believe you could make this place a great country. I haven't ever been this excited about a candidate for the presidency. I saw you for the first time on Meet The Press, and I heard you criticising Bush's war. You weren't like other Democrats though, you didn't attack the war because it was Bush's, you attacked it because it was wrong. You seem to have an excellent sense of justice and fairness. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Sincerely, Christopher Taylor

Second send. My email address was incorrect. Sorry. I'll type it here also. [email protected] --- I just caught the end of a CSPAN segment about you today (8/25/03), with reference to this website, DWC, and I have to say I'm very impressed. It sounds like you'd be an ideal candidate for 2004. Please consider running. We need you in the White House to get our country back in order; at home and abroad. None of the current Dem candidates stand out so this is a perfect opportunity for you to change that! The time is right. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Thanks, I look forward to learning more about you. Craig Leibbrand Chanhassen, MN

Dear General Clark: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DEFEAT BUSH. It is your time. With the focus of the country on national security, perhaps more than any time since WWII, no candidate for the 2004 election can win without credibility as a defender of America against terrorism. Inexplicably, Bush has this credibility among the majority of the electorate. None of the current Democratic candidates has it and, hence, none of them can win. You do and you can. As succintly as I can: You should run because you are: 1) guided by a sense of morality and justice, as well as the long view of what we need for a better society and environment--wholly unlike the Bush Administration; and 2) you are the only one who can defeat Bush. That second point bears endless repeating: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DEFEAT BUSH. Please do not indulge in any thought to the contrary, as you decide whether to run. Jill A. Schwartz

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. A voice of strength, compassion and integrity. one with the unquestionable leadership and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. I spent many nights with you while the war in Iraq broke. I have followed your appearances since then. If you run, I pledge my time money and support. America needs you, the world needs you. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Please dont announce until after September 20, when Mercury goes direct. We all saw what happened in a Mercury retrograde election.

A Voice From Your Past! I am pleased to learn of the possibility that you will seek the Presidency. You would be a great President. I have watched with interest many of your interviews on TV. You handled them very well as usual. I recall a previous Press Conference in The Hague!!! and the calls I had from various Papers after the event. I stand ready and willing to help in any way I can from my post here in New Jersey. I agree that 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 you as our next president. Of all the candidates currently asking for my vote, not one is up to the the many challenges of our uncertain times. It appears to be "business as usual" on many fronts. I'm SO tired of voting for the "lesser of 2 or 6 evils," most of with whom I truly am uncomfortable - because I really don't believe they have any interests other than their own, at heart. I have great difficulty finding confidence with any of them. You are a breath of fresh air in the sense that I have total faith in your abilities, your intelligence and experience. I trust you. I hope from my heart that you will choose to run for President in the upcoming election. I will support you in every way & by all means possible, toward that end. More than ever before, we need a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. You have the unquestionable leadership qualities and foreign policy credentials necessary to win in 2004. We really, really need you to guide our country into the future. General Clark, please run for president. Thank you. Susy

I have been closely following politics for many years--the past several with more cynicism than enthusiasm. I see little to get excited about in the next election--unless you decide to join the Democratic primary. I am sure that like me there are millions of Americans who have become disenfranchised by the swamp that politics have fallen in to. I believe you can revive some idealism in old cynics like me who grew up in the days of the Kennedys and Eugene McCarthy. Instead of a President who dresses up and plays GI-Joe or Top Gun on an aircraft carrier, I'd like to know the man in charge of the country has REAL experience! I will enthusiastically work for your campaign. I am high school teacher and a published writer who would feel revived to get back in to the political process. 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. My only son... my only child... is serving proudly in Iraq. (HHC/12th AVN BDE/ Balad). He is a career soldier of 14-years service. He is proud and confident of his field commanders. Yet, our policies there and in Afghanistan (where several of his friends are serving) are posing serious questions in their minds. He... and all of our military personnel... and indeed, every citizen... need you as Commander in Chief. We need your unique expertise, not only in international military affairs, but also for your strengths and applied wisdom in world politics and economics. 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 The upcoming battle for the future of this country which will be carried out in the next Presidential election is too important to be lost to political miscalculation. I believe that the best hope of defeating George W. Bush will be a ticket combining an experienced politician who has had the courage to confront this President's deceptions and follies with an outsider having impeccable credentials and superior intellect. I humbly propose that you consider thinking outside the box by joining forces with Senator Joe Biden to form the ticket that I believe can defeat the current leadership. I believe Sen. Biden would have no problem debating Presidnet Bush and I believe that you would be the perfect adversary to VP Cheney. My family, friends and I want to see you involved, but we are pragmatic enough to believe that this would be the best scenario for our country. Good luck and great success in whatever you decide to do!

Dear Sir: My beloved country has fallen into the hands of tyrants guided only by the goal of absoulte power. Criticism is now "treason"; invasion of my privacy and the abrogation of my civil rights is now a patriotic act. Perhaps Mr. Orwell was a bit premature in his prediction of the negative Utopia and the political use of corrupted language. But it is here now. And I, for one, am scared! I have read about your career, your views on the ailments that afflict our country and your suggestions as to how to correct the "misguided" (read "dumb", for lack of better and more graphic term) policies of this administration. I find myself agreeing with you overall philosophy of government and, by extension, the exercise of executive responsibility and power. I can understand your hesitance in "throwing your hat in the ring". I have always thought that any person who aspired to that job was an insane, unthinking, power hungry individual. But, on the other hand, your reluctance convinces me that you are none of those things. Please consider the candidacy. We need rational alternatives that can only come from Democrats like yourself. Furthermore, I am not one of those Democrats that thinks "winning" is everyting and therefore supports a candidate with the "best chance" to win. I would support a man of vision and principle, such as yourself, regardless of the odds against your nomination or election. At least I would feel I had done the best I couild to save my Country. Please consider running! Please!

Dear General Wesley Clark, I am writing to ask the General to declare his candidacy for President, this is not the time for amatuer hour at the Whitehouse. My ancestor was Federick T. Dent advisor to U.S. Grant and Brother N Law. I would be happy to serve on your staff if you so desire. I've listened to your analysis on the talk shows and your responses show a level of maturity lacking in your contemporaries. Please run your country needs you at this most critical time in our history. A good strategy would be to show the electoral map from 2000 and the north south division. This is an area where the General could run ads stressing his leadership and his ability to unite the country and stand heads above his Democratic rivals. The General sounds Presidential and his opponents sound like children in the schoolyard.

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 someone like you. Whether you run or not is your decision and yours alone. All concerned citizens can do is to tell you we need a new face, one who is dedicated to the United States and its founding principles, as well as to the improvement of all our people, economically, socially and within their families and communities. What we don't need is a radical of either the left or right who wants only to force his brand of life on everyone in America. That is what the current occupant of the White House wants to do. That is unacceptable to the vast majority of our citizens. We need a president who understands what war is about and how and when it is necessary for our survival and security, but who also knows that it should not be used for political or personal reasons. We need a person who understands economics and law and history and how America operates and thinks, not a person who will constantly try to change the public mind to accept only the credo of the president and his mentors. We do not want religion to be forced into our lives through government. We do not want to lose our personal freedoms for questionable reasons. If you have the traits that I have outlined and if you feel you can stand up to the rigors of campaigning and the slams against you and your family and friends by a determined, well organized and hugely financed right wing I urge you to run and win!

They have encumbered future generations with debt because of their preferential tax rebate program to a select few & their lack of a foreign policy has resulted in the alienation of our allies who we need not only in this time of war and terrorism but also as trading partners.Your military, political and economics background make you well suited to represent the population of the USA. You have political rapport with European leaders. Please run for president of the USA,

I believe that you alone can preserve our strength and win back our European allies. You epitomize the highest American ideals of character, service, courage, compassion, and intelligence. I read "Waging Modern War" shortly after it was published and I wondered then why we never seemed to have political leaders with your abilities, vision, and experience. Count me as an enthusiastic supporter.

Dear Wesley Clark - Gen. (ret) As a Vietnam & Desert Storm Combat Veteran, 19 years in the Iowa Army National Guard I've always tried to avoid coming into contact with any Generals. Everyone else thinks you guys walk on water. Well as an NCO who refused to play that political game thru my entire career, I must make an exception in your case. Ordinarily, its been my experience that Army Generals make rank by avoiding controversy and getting their tickets punched. After listening to your analysis of the Operations in Afghanistan & Iraq - you may be this country's last best hope.

I'm willing to support any Democrat in the effort to replace President Bush but one of the most important matters I take into account is the issue of who, among the Democratic candidates, will have the best chance of defeating him in a head to head campaign. It's clear to me that you have the best chance. In fact, I believe the Republicans fear you like no other candidate. They cannot smear you with attacks about your being weak against terror. There only hope will be to attack your stands on environmental, social and economic issues where all the facts stand on your side. George Bush is especially vulnerable to charges of having abandoned the less fortunate in our society (including those in our military), environmental safeguards, and fiscal responsibility and you have a very even-tempered and well-spoken manner in public which can defeat him soundly at the polls. Please consider running for the Presidency most seriously because we cannot affort another 4 years of reckless foreign and domestic policy such as we've seen since 2000 and neither can the world. Many people suffer and die if the arrogant idealogues we have running the show now are allowed to continue for another full term. -Harris Hardy

General Clark, My name is David Blair. I am a high school math teacher and basketball coach. My wife is a nurse, recently finishing her duty in the Navy. We are both completely disgusted with the Bush administration. I have never been so involved with politics....because my wife and I have almost come to the point that we would rather live in another country than to have four more years of Bush junior. I believe the greatest nation on earth deserves better than "bring it on" and "get out there and shop". I feel as though I lose IQ points every time I listen to this president. It's not fair. This country deserves better. I love my country, but I cannot imagine what another four years of this man would bring. PLEASE. I know that everyone looks great on paper...and every candidate is perfect until they run...but I admire what you have gone through, what you stand for and what you have made yourself into. I admire your discipline and work ethic, and especially your intelligence. I enjoy reading books about great leaders. But I have yet to find any of my generation ( I am 36 years old). It would be nice to look upon my president with a sense of admiration and hope. I hope you decide to run. You owe nothing to your country...obviously you've given your life to serving ... but I do pray that you would find it within yourself to become a candidate for president. My wife and I do not have a lot of extra money, but we would do whatever we could to help. Thank you so much for your time and good luck with your decision. And thank you for all you have given to protect our freedom.

In my fathers memory, I have tried to always vote for the few leaders I thought had the same 'spirit' he did. He honored home, family, his country and his maker, and he was always so proud to serve. My dad was a career army officer, a Colonel in the 101st Airborne- the Screamin' Eagles. He died on active duty in 1962. I believe you have the same spirit, and I would be very proud to vote for you sir. Please run for the Presidency. We need you.

General Clark - I am a social liberal and partially a fiscal conservative. I have been active in the Democratic party for over 30 years and have been disillusioned with the leadership since they were unable to stop the Clinton impeachment debacle due to weak leadership and lack of guts. It is time for a big change in our party if we are ever going to be able to place our values in a position for positive change in this country. If a strong unwavering candidate, such as yourself or Sen. Clinton, comes forth, I think we can remove Bush from office. I encourage you to run for President if you believe you have a chance. The Zogby Poll may be overly optimistic, so you will need to look at more data. Your entry into this campaign will elevate the present discussion among candidates which so far has been less then enlightening. Whatever you choose, you have served our country well and will no doubt continue to do so.

I am a military wife who does not agree with the way our current president is handling the "war on terror". My husband has been drug along on a ride that I feel didn't need to be taken, and it is only getting worse for us. We just found out that there is a possibilty he will have to serve two short tours back to back, because the Bush administration has stretched our military responsibilities too far. I don't agree with the war in Iraq, but Bush decided to start the war so we need to finish it. I feel you would make better, more honestly motivated decisions concerning the war. General Clark, we need you in the white house to correct what the current president has made a mess of. Please, help us.

I truly believe that American has not been in such a desperate position in the last 50 years (OK, maybe the Cuban missle crisis). General Clark, you MUST run, we need your expertise and reasonableness after all the hateful rhetoric slung by the Limbaughs-Coulters-O'Reillys-Hannitys of the world. Bush, that unelected faker, is a disgrace to the presidency. He has never earned anything--everything from his oil dealings to his baseball ownership to the governorship to, finally, the presidency has been handed to him because of Daddy's contacts. He can barely speak a coherent sentence; he only speaks what Karl Rove puts in his mouth. The cynicism of this administration--parlaying 9/11 patriotism into their misbegotten Iraq qar--is breathtaking. We need your strength, calmness and intelligence to get us back on track. Republicans don't own patriotism. I deeply resent the notion that if you are a Democrat you are a traitor. AND PLEASE, do not run as a v.p.--as the Zogby poll proved, Dean's support is soft. YOU SHOULD TAKE SECOND BILLING TO NO ONE!

I just want to tell all those crybabies out there who care more about how much money they have than investing a little income tax in their country that: TAXES ARE HERE, THEY'RE A FACT OF LIFE, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE. These are selfish American's who care about nothing other than the size of their wallets. You want to reap the benefits of a free society (at least it was), you want your free speech, you want your "shock and awe military", and you want your opportunity to make a decent living and pursue the "American Dream" but, oh by the way, YOU WANT IT FREE. I'll tell you what, go into the nicest restaurant, order the finest meal and drink the finest wine then when you get the bill tell the waitress and owner that you really don't feel like paying and see what kind of response you get. I saw a Republican congressman speaking on C-Span recruiting college undergrads and told them that they stand for "NO TAXES". What, no taxes? He's a Congressman, taxes pay his salary. I guess he doesn't want to work in the public sector for long. You want no taxes? Fine, no taxes...and no military, no government, no court system, no law enforcement, no prisons, NO FREEDOM!! You want to get a first hand experience of what Iraq looks like? Halt any and all taxes. Give me a break. You want to be Patriotic to this country outside of "supporting our troops"? Then shut up, stop whining, and pay for the troops too!! I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AND I AM PROUD TO PAY MY TAXES TO A COUNTRY WORTH INVESTING IN!!!!! PERIOD!!

Dear General Clark, I am an ex actress, recently divorced, mother of two young children ages 2 and 4. When I heard that there was a chance that you might run for president I felt the first breath of inspired air in a very long time. I have felt so lost in this country and where it is headed. I think that you may very well be the man who could beat George W. Bush in the 2004 election. I felt it viscerally. If you run I pledge to work for your campaign. I know clearly that is where I need to be next and that is not a feeling I have had for a very long time. We need you! Sincerly, Claudia Laslie 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 strongly support your entry into this 2004 race. I am convinced that the current President will go down in History as America's most dangerous. Also, even though I have always been cautious about a military President, your presence in this woeful mix of yes-men will give voters a real choice. I am a life-long Democrat disenchanted with my party's choices. If you run, I urge you to avoid getting sucked into these meaningless Democratic debates. We need someone who can lead our country out of the international morass Bush/Rumsfeld/Cheney has placed us. That means someone who will be viewed above the average, with the brains so lacking in the current administration, and not bought by the religious right. Today I received my share of this outrageous tax cut-$221.31-that will be my initial pledge to your campaign. I urge the DraftClark folks to suggest to others that, at least, one pledge be their share- to the penny -of this tax rebate.

We have lost creditability with other countries, have put our troops at risk and we have a president who does not have the ability to run this country. His appointees and staff are making the decisions. The economy is in shambles. Without change a second Bush administration will completely destroy our country.

America needs a new president. One who is honest with the American people, one who cares about America, democracy, and the people who work hard everyday. and try to do the right thing. The current president was put in for several reasons; to keep big business in control, degrade environmental standards, and break up our system, such as programs that help kids, poor families, old, and sick people. If this person is allowed another four years, driven by nothing more than ego, money, and power, we will not know America! We are truly at a crossroad. Please run for President. All of the sacrafices that you have made, along with all of the other brave men and women, for our Country will be thrown away by this bush administration. It is so obvious to me what bush's intensions have been from the beginning. How can people can be so naive? The Democratic leaders know what he is about, they are so scared of this administration, we can't depend on them anymore. The Democratic party keeps asking for money for their campaign. I am not giving money to anyone who is afraid to do their job. Everytime they get up in Congress to talk about the bills that the republicans are trying to slick through for bush, the Democrates are stating the truth, but what do they do, but whine, whine, I can't stand a whinner! I say to them, DO SOMETHING, don't whine! Every move the bush administration makes, is well planned with a strong strategy that covers every angle, it is unbelievable. Sorry, I am rambling, it is just that I am so mad about this scam! The American people NEED someone who is SMART, with experience, someone who is level headed, someone who understands what is really going on, and someone who will not stand in front of the people and lie to them. You are that person! Bush is destroying our Country right before our eyes. It is going to take someone who is very strong and smart to be able to combat this appointed president and his followers who are willing to do ANYTHING to stay in control. There are few who will be able to do this, I believe you can and will. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Mr. Clark, In the last election, I voted for Ralph Nader, a man whom I feel is America's unsung hero. I am very much a young, vocal liberal. In this upcoming election, however, I see little hope for voters like myself. There is absolutely no major Democratic candidate that excites me, and I definitely cannot in good conscious support Mr. Bush. As it appears that the Green party will make no major run for this presidential election, I believe that I will have no one to vote for. I will never vote simply to block another's election;consequently, I send this humble letter to you sir. It is my hope that you will finally choose to run for the presidency. I have witnessed you speak on many occassions, and I have been very impressed with your opinions and your background. Mr. Clark, please help re-energize those of us who feel that we have lost our voice in American politics. Sincerest thanks, Matthew Majzun

Dear Mr. Clark, From the little I know about you, you seem to have what it takes to BEAT President Bush. These are very scary times in this country and people are very afraid. Most people, faced with the choice between Bush or Dean (or another Democrat currently running) would probably choose Bush because they believe that he would be the man who could keep our country safe, because he is a Republican and believes in a strong military. He also feeds into the fear of the American people. However people are very concerned for their jobs and the economy. It's going to become glaringly apparent around election time that the tax cuts will not have helped the economy and people will be furious and even more worried and frustrated. Yet they will still vote for Bush because of the terrorism and military issue. People will be able to trust that you believe in the military, yet they will also want to vote for you because you will be able to provide them with an alternative to Bush's economic policies. Personally, I'm sure I lean much more left than you, but I would probably still vote for you because you seem to be truly compassionate towards the common person and you truly care about the environment and see what's really at stake. If we lose the environment, ultimately we lose this planet and the rich guys up on top will ulimately lose what they have as well. Please run for President.

I do not understand how an accomplished General Officer like yourself can even consider running on the Democratic (read socialist) ticket. Although it is somewhat true that the military is a socialistic society in and of itself, this does not mean that this type of an economy is appropriate for the general population - much less this great country you've served so proudly. The party of your choice has made it one of their primary missions to descimate the Armed Forces of the US. This is, in today's Global War on Terrorism, a travesty more so than when Carter or even Clinton were Commanders in Chief. I urge you to renounce the way that the Democratic party has pursued such an extreme anti-military agenda (budget cuts, massive force structure and endstrength slashes, neverending peacekeeping deployments - read Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti, Somolia, etc - and a gutting of the moral fiber that made the Services strong. If you choose the party of Truman, a fine warrior and respectable President, please look not to fill the world with social programs and a further weakend military, but look to continue the level of respect and proper utilization of the men and women whom, like yourself, choose to serve.

I am a Christian and a pacifist and am angry about the social, economic, constitutional, environmental, etc. injustices that are occuring in this administration. I truly hope to hear more about what Mr. Clark will do for America on these issues. His views on the Iraq war - before, during and after have caused me to consider him as my first choice as the next President of the United States.

I heard General Clark say tonight on Hardball that he thought he might not be well received among the Democratic voters. Not so..I went from being a registered republican many years ago to being a registered independent who votes democratic. Not only that, I am a Southerner, with a brother who was also a Marine Lt. in Vietnam, who brought home two bronze stars and one sliver. There are millions more like me and my family in the South Bush thinks he controls, who are not fanatic zealots and morons. We want some common sense, intelligent, respectable, fair and ethical leadership in our foreign and domestic policies. If his stand on the issues is as stated on this site, I can assure him there will be citizens out here working night and day to get him elected.

General Clark. I think that all of your talk about the problems with partisan politics are absolutely correct. I know there has been a lot of speculation about what party you would run for if you do decide to launch a presidential campaign. What I want to know is if you would ever consider running as an Independent? Surely the best way to unify the country and move it away from partisan politics would be to have a leader that is independent of both parties. I think that with your history and name recognition, you are just the person to be able to successfully pull this off. It has been a long time since the country has been unified under a leader of such nonpartisan beliefs. The leader I speak of, of course, is General George Washington. As an unaffiliated registered voter, I feel that the biggest step you can take to bring this country together is to launch your campaign as an Independent candidate. The American people have had enough of bipartisan bickering and stagnation. What we need is a real leader, one who is not under the umbrella of either Republican or Democrat. That is why when I go into that voting booth in November 2004, I hope to see your name on the ballot independent of any political party. Thank you.

Confidential: FAO General Wesley K. Clark Dear General Clark, I drafted the following in early April this year, and originally intended it for a British/European readership. In the event, I experienced a few problems which took a up a great deal of my time and energy and it was never submitted. However, I am encouraged by the continuing questions raised in Washington over the legitimacy of the Bush-Blair justification for the second Iraq War, and the suggestions that you may consider leading the Democrats in 2004, to submit these thoughts in the hope you will find them useful. What I do not specifically state, since at the time of drafting I deemed this might well be counterproductive, is my view, since gradually vindicated, e.g. by the evidence currently being heard by the Hutton Inquiry here in the UK, that Bush and Blair basically cooked up the crusade against Saddam to pull their respective political chestnuts out of the fire. In Bush’s case, pre 9/11, his legitimacy was under inetnsifying scrutiny and his domestic agenda running into the sand, while his handling of foreign affairs (for example, Kyoto) had many wise heads shaking sadly. Essentially he was facing an almost unprecedented crisis of domestic confidence. 9/11 must have seemed a political godsend, but it could only be milked for so long. Blair had similar problems, at least as serious though less immediate. Re-elected in 2001 on the understanding that delivery on the promise made in 1997 of significant and consistent improvements in public services without significant rises in tax would be imminent, by 2002, it was becoming increasingly obvious that while both tax, mostly indirect and state borrowing were rising to historically high levels, the improvements in public services were a long way off. This combined with the increasing resonance of accusations of sleaze, control freakery and spin from all quarters and the break with the Liberal Democrats over PR presented Blair with a long term problem; he could probably hang on until 2005/6 but after that New Labour would be trashed at the polls, and all his achievements would be laid waste. Blair appreciates that in order for the New Labour agenda to really take root, he needs to win again in 2005/6. There was the tempting precedent of Mrs Thatcher’s remarkable recovery in political fortune in 1982 and as Air Marshal Sir John Walker (former Chief, Defence Intelligence, former deputy chair, JIC, is alleged in today’s Independent newspaper as having suggested in a submission to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, the claims about Iraq’s WMDs contained in the UK Governments ‘Dossier’ were: "not the reason to go to war, but the excuse to go to war". Sir John also is said to have asked: "When was the decision taken to go to war? If this thesis bears examination, then the nation was committed to war in the late summer, early autumn of 2002.", i.e. well before the publication of the Dossier. I expanded on that theme in a letter to the Telegraph in December last year (they didn’t publish it). I’ve added that as well in case you can use it, it follows at the end. My concern is that I’m not sure how much if any of the above can be useful from the point of view of political capital; from what I read, the US public is broadly in support of Bush over the war, mistaken though it undoubtedly was. A careful path will need to be trodden between presenting the unvarnished truth as to the reasons for and the long term consequences of continued commitment of US forces in Iraq on the one hand while not at any stage undermining or denigrating the role that US forces have played. Equally, if you are to take the offensive in respect of the Middle East you will, I believe, need to re-sell your internationalist approach to global security, and to package it simply and accessibly. You will also, I believe require a clear alternative solution to rival the ‘road map’. America needs a new president. And the rest of the world would breathe a sigh of relief if it had one. 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 agree to do this, I would be pleased to come to the US to work for your campaign. 4th April, 2003 re: The Need for Peace – and the UN Now that arguments about the legitimacy, diplomatic presentation and modalities of alliance building have ceased to have any practical relevance, we should focus our attention on the post-conflict challenges facing the International Community. There can be little doubt that “the Coalition” will eventually win this war in purely military terms. The UK, likely to be on the winning side, runs the risk of ending up with significantly reduced influence in Europe . The calculation of the British national interest is, one presumes, predicated on the assumption that UK will be closely aligned with the dominant power in the international system for the foreseeable future. It remains to be seen how useful that alignment might be in practical terms, and what significance Britain’s loyalty will have to Mr. Bush and his successors. In the immediate future Colin Powell has stated that it would be natural to expect that the Coalition powers will be a play a major role in a post-Saddam Iraq , so the UK can also expect significant ongoing financial commitment, but this time the sort of recompense that followed the first Gulf war is unlikely. The list of losers is likely to be long. Aside from the post-war consensus, one obvious casualty could be the so-called Middle East Peace Process. Consider a post-conflict Bush administration strategic perspective. Iraq is defeated. Saudi Arabia is mindful of the presence of so many US troops nearby, and wishes to ingratiate itself lest US neoconservatives like Max Singer at the Hudson Institute are listened to more. Egypt is likely to continue to be dependant for financial assistance and is therefore at least temporarily neutralised. It remains to be seen how Turkey will position itself as the conflict develops, but the signs are that it will not wish to disqualify itself further for financial assistance, and will be prepared to look the other way (in spite of the antecedents of the new government) in exchange for a free hand in Turkish, even if not Iraqi, Kurdistan . Iran is both internally divided and strategically ‘boxed in’. Syria may be kept from being too bothersome with a combination of show of force, diplomacy, and territorial titbits. Or it may itself be given a regime makeover, as once suggested by Richard Perle. What better time to impose a Bush settlement on the Israel-Palestine question that will avoid the tortuous negotiations and failed compromises of the past? In the process of imposing a (probably heavily pro-Israel) settlement significant financial and political support could be won for the 2004 Presidential elections, which are likely to start to become a major consideration from this summer onwards. The UN is, according to President Bush, now ‘irrelevant’. To some extent this development is not surprising. Try to forget the minor point that the UN, its rules and institutions were created with the active participation and consent of the US and that with a view to establishing a body which would not be the poodle that the League had been. The problem is – what then? A return to pre-League times, when the absence of accepted international norms and institutions led to the 1914 débâcle? At the very least a multilateralist approach surely cannot be entirely dispensed with . This now needs urgent attention, not least because the status, validity and role of the UN has been called into question at the same time as a number of other key pillars of the post-war security order are crumbling. Once we had SALT, the ABM Treaty, START and the CTBT. Now, with Washington determined to look tough and decisive and with the focus solely on the NPT, proliferation of WMD is likely to be increasingly uncontrolled, unless the US takes the lead in decommissioning its own massive arsenal . The view from NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson, that proliferation threats may not be susceptible to conventional deterrence , surely undermines the case for continued delay in disarmament still further. Meanwhile the increasing globalisation of the world’s economies is throwing up new challenges that can only be effectively dealt with through supra-national approaches, and probably, agencies. George W. Bush has an opportunity to do what clearly should have been done after the collapse of ‘communism’ and the capitulation of Russia – reform, renew, and strengthen the UN (if necessary through a new foundation), so that the Miloševic’s, Saddam’s, Mugabe’s and Kim’s of this world can be effectively dealt with by the international community rather than by individual powers and according to an agreed and established framework of law and justice. Such an institution and precepts would be a worthy translation of the constitution and founding principles of the United States itself. While the abolition of arcanae such as the Permanent Five would appear to dilute US power in purely treaty terms, Washington would in all probability end up with increased influence both through its founding role, and the fact that its massive economic and military weight would no longer be impeded by the P5 veto. This contention is not mere European wishful thinking. As Schake and Becher have argued “The critical tests of American power in the twenty-first century will be whether the U.S. has the vision to lead the design of an international architecture that fosters American interests and the interests of other states”. In Prague, the US President said: “The hopes of all mankind depend on the courage and the unity of great democracies.” How true – but does this high moral sentiment translate to into actions consistent with the founding principles of great democracies? Apparently not, if it clashes with his new National Security Strategy . A great challenge has been thrown down to “the West”; how in this new world of borderless threats and crime can the democracies retain both their freedoms and the impartiality and fairness of their judicial systems while ensuring the security of their citizens? Senator Rod Grams (R, Mn) once said you can’t have both, and perhaps he was right. Only through international bodies representing a range of perspectives can such borderless threats be effectively countered. Equally, only through such bodies are intractable problems such as the Israel-Palestine question, the Korean legacy, Kashmir, etc. likely to be susceptible to just and lasting resolution. As mediator/guarantor in such matters the US is tainted by (at least partially justified) allegations of bias. Such an allegation would be less likely and less credible in the case of a truly representative global institution. The constitution and mandate of the successor to the UN is now clearly on the agenda. What will be it’s constitution? It’s mandate? How will it interact with other international agencies and associations such as the IMF, the World Bank, GATT, Interpol, the International Court of Justice, the EU, ASEAN, MERCOSUR, etc.? Should these agencies continue independently or be a part of the new entity? How will global environmental problems be managed? What of migration flows, another problem that can only be effectively addressed on an international level?

Let us take first the supposed pretext for action against Iraq, namely • that it is developing weapons of mass destruction, which it would use to destabilise the region and possibly to attach NATO members • That it is in violation of a number of UN resolutions • That President Saddam Hussein is an evil dictator who must be removed to protect his own people and to set an example to others. • That Saddam’s regime aids and abets international terrorist organisations, al-Qaeda in particular. Not one of these stands up to serious examination. First of all there seems little evidence that Iraq does have a credible WMD programme. However, whether or not Iraq has continued with its WMD programme is not really the issue. Would Iraq use them? I don’t know. John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt think Saddam is deterrable (Foreign Policy magazine, December 2002). Certainly if Saddam and his advisers had any sense they would think carefully about the much larger numbers of more potent weapons held by the US, Russia, the PRC, France and the UK itself before doing so. It is also interesting to note that when Saddam was at arguably his most powerful and dangerous – in 1990/91- he did not use WMD either against Kuwait or against the forces of the alliance. Finally, if the US is seriously concerned about WMD, what about its own arsenal, easily the largest in the world? A further point which should not be overlooked; other than the permanent five, Israel, India & Pakistan have nuclear weapons and that does not include states which may have armed in secret that we do not yet know about. Of the latter group, all were armed by the US and the former USSR during the Cold War, and we have recent evidence that India and Pakistan are prepared to use them. Does Iraq therefore represent a clear and present danger in the way other states do not? The point about the violation of UN resolutions is also nonsense. If the US intends to champion adherence to the resolutions of the UN it would have ensured that other violators were brought to book. Israel (UN resolutions 242,252,446,465 (which the US is in effect also in violation of) 471, 605, 607, 636, 694, 726, 799, 1322, 1405 and 1435) springs to mind. While on the subject of Israel, it is worth noting here that it has an undisputed and active biological and chemical weapons programme, largely developed with US encouragement, and that these have been used outside its own borders (The Fateful Triangle, Chomsky, Pluto Press 1999). It would appear on the face of it that the US only cares about violations when it suits its own policy of global strategic expansion. There is no question that Saddam is a deeply unpleasant dictator. The question is again why does the US care in this case where it does/has not in the case of, say, Indonesia (Suharto), Nigeria (Abacha) or for that matter Saudi Arabia (the house of Saud)? In the case of the first, the answer is because it was essentially irrelevant to US considerations. In the case of the latter two it is arguably because the US does not really care about the political complexion of the leadership, as long as they will do business with Washington on oil exports. In the final analysis, the US must be consistent in its approach to democracy and human rights if it wants to be taken seriously when it claims to wish to act as a champion of these values. Has Saddam aided al-Qaeda/other terrorist groups or does he do so now? The evidence that he is doing so appears to be largely anecdotal. This it seems is enough for Blair and Bush. Should it be? Arguably no. The problem is a lack of common standards. How do we define terror? How do we define a terrorist? How do we distinguish between one and a legitimate freedom fighter? George W. Bush’s definition of terrorism seems narrow – all Islamic militant groups would appear to qualify in principle, but the Kurds do not because they oppose Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. See Malise Ruthven’s “A Fury for God: The Islamist Attack on America” (Granta Books, 2002). Iran, which in the normal run of things could also be expected to oppose Saddam Hussein’s Iraq is part of the ‘axis of evil’ and is therefore an enemy despite the differences between Tehran and Baghdad. Islamic separatists in the Phillipines are a threat deserving of US military and financial assistance but Washington doesn’t approve of Vladimir Putin’s handling of the Chechens. On a related point – and this will doubtless go down like a lead balloon in some circles – how is it that terrorism is suddenly and only now a global problem, deserving of the most indiscriminate and extreme use of force across the globe? We in the UK had to deal with terrorist acts from the IRA/Provisional IRA for decades. Did the US plan a landing in Galway Bay? Hardly. Significant funding for the terrorist’s weapons, logistical support and political backing came from nationalist/republican groups in the USA, with no meaningful interference from successive US administrations. Then again, since the many of the terrorists who planned 9/11 appear to have trained and lived in the UK, does that make us a supporter of terrorism? Let us assume for a moment that Saddam is a supporter of terrorism – will hitting his regime prevent it? The history of terrorism – which stretches back thousands of years suggests otherwise. Was Jewish terrorism prevented by the massacre at Massada? Was republicanism quashed when the British Army put down the Easter Rising? Russian partisans continued their difficult and dangerous struggle despite occupation by the most powerful army the world had ever seen and reprisals from the SS. The problem is that it is impossible to wipe out such an organisation by conventional military means. Their support is not based exclusively at the level of national government, though that may be an element, but is more community based. Military action against either the nation or the community tends to strengthen rather than weaken support.(Khan Yunis in The Economist October 12th, 2002). This (and many other related issues) are addressed in “Worlds in Collision” (Palgrave Macmillan, 2002). Even if one does not agree with all the foregoing, is the Bush approach to Iraq the right one? It is not that many weeks ago when George W. Bush told us that he would be prepared to act against Iraq without UN approval and if required without the help or approval of its allies in NATO. Some have argued (cf Robert Kagan’s article in the August 2002 issue of Prospect) that the US has now grown so powerful that it really does not need the international community in the way it once did. Actually the US does need the UN and NATO. "The European NATO governments could refuse American use of Nato's European assets in an attack on Iraq... For the US, NATO has to exist. Washington may be indifferent to allied opinion, or in no need of allied military support, but it has to have the European alliance because NATO provides the indispensable infrastructure for US military deployments throughout Europe, Eurasia, the middle east and Africa." (William Pfaff in the International Herald Tribune, quoted by Anatole Lieven of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Prospect September 2002). Power is relative, dynamic and ever-changing in magnitude and manifestation. If you had asked a member of, say, the Royal Society in the 1890’s whether one day Britannia would no longer rule the waves and a quarter of the world, he (it likely would have been a he) would have laughed. Yet just as the multipolar world of the great powers was replaced by the bipolar one of the super powers (The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, Kennedy, Unwin & Hyman 1988), so the hyper power of the US must one day diminish – possibly as China matures during the course of the next few decades. In fact as Wesley Clark argued in a more recent issue of Prospect magazine it probably needs the international community more now than it has ever done, to legitimise its agenda and allow it, through NATO to act a guarantor of international security. This is a theme expanded on by Joseph S. Nye, Jr. in his “The Paradox of American Power”, (OUP 2002), in which he provides an intelligent analysis of the role of a multilateral approach to the solution of world problems. Even commentators such as Thomas L Friedman recognise NATO has a role. “We don't need a NATO that can run. We need a NATO that can sit - in more places than Bosnia and Kosovo.” (New York Times /IHT 12th December 2002). The big question is: should NATO act without UN authority? Richard Perle seems to think so (IHT 28th November 2002) but I do not in consideration of the dangerous precedent this might set and the potential implications for the undermining cooperation and security. Another argument against war on Iraq is more selfish, but we should be aware of it; in the event of war being launched within the recent UN resolution parameters it is likely that the US will go in, do a lot of damage and pull out with maximum political capital gained for the Bush administration and minimum financial capital committed for the post-conflict phase. The US, if past precedent (Bosnia, Kosovo) is anything to go by will attempt to rope in the European allies for reconstruction and peacekeeping. Britain, because of the special relationship, Blair’s policy stance on this issue, and its’ status as a member state of the EU could well be caught in a double whammy – major expenditure on the war itself followed by further major expenditure on the reconstruction. That might sound like antic-Americanism; but judging from Robert D. Kaplan’s article “A Post-Saddam Scenario” in The Atlantic, it is clear that there are grounds for concern. There is a broader issue here too. When the Soviet Union effectively imploded, many hoped that after the atrocities of World War II followed by nail biting insecurity of the previous Cold War, the US, its allies in NATO and the permanent five would combine to bring about a new world order in which global peace and security were enshrined in a new and more effective charter and institution. The opportunity to create is still there; it is not too late. One day it will be. Returning to the points made earlier in respect of terrorism, in order for there to be real international peace and security, there must common standards. There is a need for a recognised politico-legal process, defining what is and is not permissible and what sanctions may be applied if the agreed rules are broken. There must be a recognised, respected and duly constituted authority. The parameters of its action and agencies, including the armed forces of member states, and alliances between them, should be defined. There can be no doubt that the US has key role to play in this. The challenge for a truly great nation is to accept and promote collective responsibility when it is at the top of its game – not as Britain did, only once it realises that the strategic balance is beginning to shift against it. Yrs Faithfully … Well, that’s just about all. My advice: go for it. If you don’t, there seems no other credible Democrat contender for 2004. That could well mean McCain as the only serious opposition to Bush, and he may turn out to be a paper tiger. In my opinion if Bush wins, and Arnie takes California (he probably will), Hillary Clinton’s chances in 2008 are not as good as some pundits think. Yours sincerely Alexander A. Bone

You have the stature and military record that even the malicious right will hesitate to drag through the mud. You have the brains, statesmanship, and world-view that the rest of planet is looking for in the US leader. In short, if you run your odds of winning are very high, and the benefit to the US people and the world is huge. My adopted country needs you to run. Best of luck.

Please DO NOT run on a ticket with Howard Dean. As a lifelong Democrat, I can honestly say that he does not appeal to moderate Democrats or to Independents. He has some very avid supporters, but not enough to get him elected. I don't believe you can strengthen his ticket enough, and he can certainly ruin your chances. I just watched Buchanan and Press and you were excellent. I intend, if you run, to make a contribution to your campaign.

Dear General Clark: I am a lifelong Democrat and ask that you run for President on the Democrat ticket (please, not Vice-President). I've been impressed with your leadership ability since the Kosovo conflict and ask that you continue your service to our country as President. I am not a military person and have been more inclined to agree with people who are willing to negotiate instead of fight and kill. But because of the attack on our country on 9/11/2001, I am convinced that we need a leader who possesses a strong, intelligent military background, in addition to the ability to lead without shooting first, so to speak. I lack confidence in our current president and am anxious to see him replaced with someone of your caliber. Please consider my thoughts and take the leap! Sincerely, Pat Hadley-Miller

Dear General Clark, I am writing to add my voice to the thousands of others who would like you to run for president in 2004. Next year's election will be my first opportunity to vote for President, and I would love to cast my ballot for someone with your experience, integrity, and vision for America. As a young citizen, the thought of the current administration leaving an uncontrollable deficit, a quagmire in Iraq, and years of disastrous domestic policy for my generation to fix makes me realize that we need new leadership before it is too late. I hope you consider running for president, and regardless of your decision, you should know that you are an inspiration to the next generation of great Americans.

Dear General Clark: America needs a new president, who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times, who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. America needs someone like you who has unquestionable leadership in foreign policy credentials necessary to win the Presidential election in 2004. America needs a new direction in environmental, economic and foreign policies. General Clark, America needs you to guide her to a path of peace and prosperity and not war for oil and for corporate interests. Please run for President of The United States of America. Sincerely, Anthony Manzano

Dear General Clark, This letter will be brief and direct since I am sure you won’t have much time to read it if you ever have a chance to do so. Between well intentioned leaders who are stronger in religious faith than in political intelligence, bias and dangerous ideologues, and many citizens who are either uninformed, afraid or confused, this country is in deep trouble. I believe, as many others, that you are most probably the only one, given your international and military experience, tested courage, and intellectual acumen, to be able to reassure most Americans, while leading them on a path of good judgment, realism and strength. It happens, at times, that the fate of a country and the world depends on the decision of a single individual. And this might very well be the case. Thank you, and God bless you. Respectfully yours,

America needs a new president. One who has a chance at being elected. So far, though I like some of the Democratic candidates, I really don't think any of them could win. I think you could and I will do all I can to help you achieve that end. I feel comfortable and secure when I hear you speak - that means a lot in today's world. Please run!!! General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, Our country is in dire need of a viable third party candidate. The Republicans and the Democrats have made a game out of distorting each others view with the aim of getting themselves elected. together they have run up the largest debt in history, for which we are paying dearly. They are on the road to bankrupting SS and Medicare, and leaving future generations to pay. Please take up the challenge to lead us out of this insanity.

If you run for president I won't vote for you and here's why: 1) You believe in "affirmative action". Did you forget the Declaration of independence "all men are created equal". Did you forget about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 "you can't use race, religion, color, sex, national orgin or pregnancy as a basis for hiring, firing, etc." 2) You don't believe the general public should have "assault weapons". Did you forget the 2nd amendment? The right to keep and bear arms has nothing to do with hunting. It's there so the citizenry can overthrow an abusive government if necesarry. Of course you are part of the United Nations whose goal is disarm the public. Just like Hitler did. 3) You think this country was founded on a principle of progressive taxation. Where did you get that idea? Did you forget that the income tax was supposed to be temporary just to finance WW1? How is taxing income different than slavery? You think income tax cuts caused the deficit? What about out of control government spending and growth? If the Federal Government really wanted to stimulate the economy all income tax would be abolished immediately. Corporate income tax is just passed on to the consumer as a cost of doing business. Every time a corporate tax loophole is closed my taxes go up! Why don't you look at the Comprehensive Annual Financial report and see how much income and assets the Federal Government really has. I know you have to be aware of this report but probably won't admit it. The Federal government has many assets that the Constitution doesn't authorize them to own. 4) Healthcare- You appear to be in favor of socialized health care. Where in the Constitution does it say the Federal government is supposed to be involved in healthcare? 5) Education-Where does it say in the Constitution that the Federal Government is supposed to be involved in public education? I saw this website on C-Span and thought it might be something worthwhile. Was I wrong? You're just a typical bunch of liberals/socialists who believe the government should control everything and provide all our needs (as they see fit).

Dear General Clark: I am an Anglo-American in my eightieth year, having served five years in the Royal Air Force in WWII, married an American and became an American in l966. Please respond to this call to declare your candidacy for the Presidency: our country and the world needs you. We need a leader of intelligence, education, multinational experience, a knowledge of national security, a character grounded in integrity, service, and compassion. One who can balance foreign and domestic policy frameworks, and I emphasize "frameworks of thought" based on knowledge of the lives of people, a willingness to honour the knowledge of science, set out against long-term horizons, and: implementation strategies that are based on the of building of relational fields with a wise emphasis on local, state, national, international, and global considerations. This administration is demonstrating an intention to retire the progress of the 20th century, a failure to employ human wisdom and scientific knowledge, the dismantling of any shred of the social contract, and a total disregard for development of the public arena and the many commons that provide the basis for development of the business and industrial sector, as well as the public sector. We need a new vision, and a new guidance system in this country, led by leaders such as yourself. We need you to answer this call, and, in turn, we need you extend this call to the many thoughtful, progressive, value- called leaders who are waiting to participate in the recovery and ongoing vibrant development of this country. I do not ask this of you lightly, and I know that your response to such a call will require, again, full commitment to the service of this country and the world. I pray that you will respond in the affirmative. With respect, and my blessings. Anne W. Dosher.

General Clark, I understand that your decision is a difficult one for you and your family, and that their interests are necessarily your first concern. But I want you to understand that there are thousands of people, all over this country, who are absolutely committed to working for your campaign, and are already putting in considerable time and effort towards advocating your candidacy, and who will give even more when and if you officially announce your intention to run. We know that it is likely that the Bush campaign will outspend us, and we know that they can draw on resources we don't have. But let me assure you that they will not beat us in effort or commitment. Of course you must think of those closest to you above all, and of course you will, but if you are hesitant because of doubts you have about the seriousness of those who support you, do not be. We will respect your decision either way, but know that I would consider it an honor to be able to cast my vote for you. Yours, Andrew Northrup

I pretty much define myself as a political moderate but conservative leaning. I supported George W. Bush over Al Gore in 2000, and something I still stand by. However, Bush has not turned out to be the moderate or "compassionate" conservative I thought he would be. From weak economic and environmental policy to our international isolation due the way in which we are fighting the war on terror, I have become increasingly alienated by the Bush administrations incompetence and unwillingness to immediately internationlize the effort in Iraq and bring as many allies as possible into the war on terror and nation building in the Middle East. The democratic candidates who merely pander the liberal base is not the leadership I am looking for. I am looking for someone who can lead America into a successful war on terror along with allies across party lines. I have complete confidence that where Bush falls short, you will succeed. Please do your country the ultimate service and become our next president. I promise you have my vote.

Dear Sir: It has been awhile now since I have been proud to be an American, but thanks to the efforts of Mssrs. Hlinko and Margulies, some hope has returned to me. Nothing is more important just now, I insist, than replacing the current occupants of the White House. The Nation has seldom been in as desperate a need of leadership. You possess the strength of character, the genuine American values and the level-headedness needed to provide that leadership - and thank God you also have the charisma and background needed to get you taken seriously...and elected. The Democratic Party has failed to offer up an acceptable alternative who can unseat the president and I have no confidence in the electability of an Independent candidacy. Leaving things up to grassroots organizations like this one, we the people and you. Please give me and America hope that our boat can be righted, our national pride and purpose restored, and the American democracy encouraged to endure and prosper. You must, sir, offer yourself to your country as a candidate for president.

Dear Mr. Clark: I have heard and read you are considering a run for the presidency in 2004. We desperately need Bush out of the White House and I believe you may be able to help make this happen. I do not have as much information about you as i would like, but what I have read is encouraging. If indeed you are thinking of running, I wish you would make the announcement soon. I think the sooner you throw your hat in the ring the better. I do believe this country needs you. I am very afraid that if Bush manages to get into office again (I won't say re-elected, as he was never elected in the first place), this country will never recover. I plan to move to Canada if the worst happens. I can't bear to stay here and see what happens if BushCo stays in power. In sum, if you are going to run, get on with it and let the country know. If not, let us know and we can all stop hoping and wondering and get on with the business of trying to figure out how best to get our country back. Most sincerely,

I can tell you honestly, I am 34 and have never voted. Shameful? I suppose, but I never felt compelled to excersize my right based on the choices at hand. It's like someone asking you, "Heads or tails?" when all they're really offering is a meager nickel either way. General Clark, you have my admiration and respect. I firmly believe that you have the worldwide credibility to run this nation for a full two terms. In fact, I'm quite certain that you could be so successful that no one would consider running against you for the second term. There would be no greater honor among men than to see you sworn into office. I think it would be the only inaguration where taking an oath for our citizens would actually be upheld. I am not one to put faith in other human beings. We are, after all, nasty creatures and of little substance. For once in my life though, I would be proud to defend the honor of a man that I've never met. Put simply sir, you shine.

I cannot remember a time where I've felt so uncertain about the the future. I am your contemporay, having graduated from college in 1966, and can I can look forward, along with my wife, to a reasonably secure retirement. But what about the future of my two sons? What I see is a president (Bush) who: cares little or nothing about the environment; has committed us to a war and open end commitment in Iraq based upon false premises; owes his allegiance to vested corporate interests and the very wealthy; speaks of "compassionate conservatism" but doesn't follow through; and, worst of all, seems to have no long-term vision of the future. I've never been politially active, but a decision by you to run for President could change that. Your potential candidacy has rekindled a hope for a renewal of integrity in our national leadership which I have not considered since 1960, when as a student I heard President John F. Kennedy speak in person. General Clark, please run for president.

If you want to provide leadership for this nation, and indeed, for the world, step forward sooner rather than later...don't wait to be drafted, for that may never materialize....and time is tight to mount a successful campaign. This nation needs someone speaking out about the wreckless policies being pursued by the Bush Administration, someone who will give Members of Congress reason to pause, time to realize that all the White House is about is "winning" and not "leading." Presently the Democrats are more concerned about dinging each other than presenting a bona fide, well-conceived, carefully articulated vision. You can change the focus. And you should.

General Clark, The greatest challenge facing us now is the debacle in Iraq. I heard you speak on the Sunday talk show and I believe you are one of the few people in the country who can fix the damage we've done. Although domestic policy (and abortion) are hot topics for a president, it's really congress who rights the laws. But foreign policy is the President's private domain. And look what has happened in the last two years: We've angered our allies, alienated the world with our "freedom-loving people" rhetoric and invaded two countries. We've lied to the United Nations and to the world. You would bring to the office an understanding of the way the world really works. Please consider running. I know it must be the most grueling experience, but you must. There's no one else who can win.

Dear General Clark, I am struggling to relate in written words the strength of my desire to elect you the next President of the United States. In my opinion, your background as a successfull military leader of the highest ranking makes you the only potential Democratic candidate who could defeat President Bush. The other candidates are simply unelectable. I am actually becoming frightened by the way this administration is performing in foreign efforts (whereas I previously trusted the now useless Colon Powell); I am frustrated by the callous disregard for environmental issues; and I am furious over economic and political gifts to big business, the ultrawealthy, and the religious right. I am increasingly convinced that the current economic policies will bankrupt us for the forseeable future. I feel that you are the only candidate that can reverse the course on which we have started over the last 2.5 years. Perhaps even more importantly, if you do not run, this country will be forced to endure - and then undo - a full 8 years of cynical, destructive governing. I agree with your domestic stances as they have thus-far been articulated and I trust your expertise and judgement in foreign affairs. Perhaps a telling manifestation of my desire vote for you is my contribution to this website. I have given $100 and have pledged $1000 should you run. As a surgical resident, this represents a substantial contribution. I could be easily convinced to give more and to work for your campaign. Please run. Matthew L.

General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. General Eisenhower answered the call after WWII with no political experience other than the talents he developed as Supreme Commander. From what I have seen and read of your positions I beleive you are at least as capable as he was, andyou could be the man to turn this country around and put it back on track. Iknow your family may dislike more sacrifices but believe me it would never be more necessary than now.

Dear General Clark, So many people are interested as you consider this race for President of the USA. While the invitation below may seem last minute, it could be a terrific place to announce your decision - or simply to address an extremely Democratic audience at the third straight sell out of our annual Lawton Chiles fund raising dinner with over 800 people at the University of Florida's Reitz Union THIS THURSDAY NIGHT, August 28 from 6-10PM. The first hour and a half is dedicated to letting people meet the candidate> In addition, we can assure you a 10 minute platform for a presentation after the dinner on the program. Alachua County, including Gainesville, FLorida, is one of the top three performing Democratic counties in ethe entire state, and we all know how critical Florida will be to the 2004 election. Someone from our local Democratic Party could meet you in Jacksonville or Orlando (about 2 hours away) or you can fly directly into Gainesville. Please let us know if this could work for you! WE HOPE SO. You may call or email me for more details. Warm regards! Sally Dickinson, member of Lawton Chiles Dinner Committee and of Alachua County Democratic Executive Committee.

I like Howard Dean - in fact, I've contributed to his run for nomination. But having seen you explain how you would handle Iraq on "Face the Nation", and comparing your performance there with Dr. Dean's performance on "Meet the Press", I've come to the conclusion that you might be the better person at this moment in history to kick that scary, unelected man out of the White House. We all know Rove, Cheney & Co. will turn up the fear and terror warnings come election time. You are the one guy that can make Americans who have been made to feel frightened feel safe, while de-railing the Neo-Conservative Freightrain to Hell for the rest of us. General Clark, we HAVE to win this. You know what's at stake. Please, at least enter the race and give the Democrats a fighting chance. You just know the Bush White House is quaking in its chickenhawk boots for fear you will.

We also need someone to stand up for environmental concerns that have now fallen to the wayside since the Bush Administration took over. We had made such great strides over the prior 8 years, only to lose ground so rapidly!! It is imperative that the American People -- NOT the American CORPORATION -- have good representation. We also need leadership in foreign policy and an individual with common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I belive, sir, that we need men and women of integrity, and charisma and commensense to run this country. Too often we are not given that option. People of that caliber choose not to run, scared off by political consultants, the media and their own sense of modesty. In other times, these considerations can be tolerate, understood, but not now. We are facing a crisis in leadership, that may well turn into a crisis for our republic. Our current president, not only is not up to the tasks our more turbulent world requires, he has no interst in becoming up to the task. I believe you are person of talent, leadership experience, and integrity. I believe you have the ability to win support, get people excited, the ability to beat President Bush. I urge you to please, run for President. If you have any doubts as to the necessity of this action, let's review: Back in the fall of 2000, Presdient George W. Bush faced a serious quesiton as to his legitamacy as Presdent. Over the course of his presidency, it has been answered— he is not. His thoughts are for himself, his welfare and that of his cronies. He treats the presidency not as a country club membership that he, due to his family and connections is owed, not an position in which he owes anything to us. He has made policy by pique. Reversing International treaties, enviromental laws , etc. simply because it was a Clinton legacy. We went to war with Iraq, though it was not in our national interests, though it put a more imporant national interst (that of preventing terrorism) on the backburner, simply to ensure his father's legacy, and to beat his father's enemy. And of course, while this country faced tragedy, he hid. Instead of rushing towards his people in pain, he fled. Not simply, over the river, giving speeches in Philly, or Richmond, to appease Secret Service, but as far away as he could go and still be on U.S. soil. While the outgoing mayor of New York, essentially, was left to be leader of the nation, the actual leader made it clear that he considered his life to be more imporant than our needs. Giuliani, had not real political gain, by staying in the heart of the city. That very day, New Yorkers were to vote for the man to replace him. And yet he stayed. He l ed. Even our former President, Clinton, now a New Yorker, was quicker on the scene than Bush. Indeed, Bush felt many, many days later, that he had to be "invited" by Giuliani before he would come to New York, and in a very public way. How could any legitamate leader have stayed away? His people were frightened, grieving and anxious. They needed the father-leader to change those emotions into courage, inspiration and fortitude. He did not. Instead he suspended habeus corpus, he suspended Geneva Covention, he gave broad and vague powers to Ashcroft, and has left all with the notion that to support the country must perfoce mean supporting him and his agenda. His attack of Afganistan is left unfinished. Once again, America breaks a promise to the Afghani people, which will only incite more terrorists. Instead, he focuses on Iraq, lying to the American people for his reasons, for the effort, and doing so on the cheap, costing many American lives. There are certainly more failures in his administration but these should be enough to connvicne that four more years of this behavior will leave America weak, our democracy thinned and with more enemies than we could possibly fight. So please, run for President. Yes, America has withstood politcal hacks and undemocratic leaders before, but never in times of danger and strife.

Dear General Clark, I really hope you had the opportunity to watch or listen to the excellent C-SPAN broadcast earlier this afternoon. The results of the Zogby poll that was comissioned by draftwesleyclark.com were fascinating. I KNEW that the majority of people felt it WASN'T too late for another Democratic contender to enter the race. And with your truly impressive bio, it's not at all suprising that your numbers beat those of GW Bush. Bush is just icing, but you are the cake! In other words, you're genuine. The real thing. Do you how amazing that is? You have the IT factor general. Please run!

Dear General Clark, I am writing you in order to ask you to help your country in this troubled age and run for President of the United States of America. I am a doctoral student in New Testament and Early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School, and I'm troubled by the religious fanaticism I see on both sides of the war on terrorism. Furthermore, my younger brother is a member of the 82nd Airborne Division. He has served in Iraq, and is currently en route back to American soil, having fulfilled his four year commitment to the Army. The last six months have been very difficult for my family, and we're extremely grateful that he is coming home. However, we are also still very concerned about our men and women who are still in harm's way. The Bush administration's case for war was unsound and manipulative, and their plan (or lack thereof) for a post-war Iraq has failed miserably. Their hidden agendas and utter incompetence have resulted in the deaths of Americans and Iraqis alike, and their continuing arrogance has left us virtually alone in the international community to manage this disastrous conflict. Worst of all, the Iraq war has tied up the overwhelming majority of our military forces, leaving us unprepared for the emergence of an actual threat, such as North Korea or another major domestic terror attack. We are at a crisis point in the fledgling war on terror: overextended, misguided, vulnerable. We as Americans desperately need your leadership as a former General to help get us out of the mess caused by a cadre of former CEO's with embarassingly little real military experience. Please, run for President and defeat George Bush. I am too optimistic of an American to believe that his sheer incompetence can continue to have credibility with the people of this country when they are presented with a truly compelling alternative. Sincerely, Brent Landau Th.D Candidate, Harvard Divinity School

General Clark- It would seem that with 9 Democrats already in the running for the party's presidential nomination, there ought to be a good choice in the pack. And I think there are just that - "good" choices. However, from what I have gleaned about your career, political beliefes and policy positions, I want to know more about you and the credentials you can offer U.S. citizens - especially as an alternative to our current disaster-of-a-President. We need someone who understands that we need to . . . befriend our allies, not alienate them; instill respect and inspire civility in our enemies, not violate our own principles of justice in order to erradicate them; maintain a strong national defense, not just the appearance of one; offer a progressive domestic social agenda, not one which places civil codes of conduct in the hands of religious extremists and right-wing moralists; promote environmental health for generations of all Americans to come, not increase the wealth of energy and oil executives just so they can pass it on to the next generations of their families; strengthen and tirelessly improve our worst schools, not encourage families to flee the schools in their own back yards. From what I have seen, I think you share these beliefs. I encourage you to run for President of the United States, and to seek the endoresement of the Democratic Party in so doing. Among the declared Democrats, there are good choices; but we need a great choice. You just may be that choice.

After reading letters to you, let me add my urging also. You won't need to wear your uniform, land on an aircraft carrier or use any "Army doll" to prove your grit, for, someone who is truly qualified to lead our nation does not need any props. The ideal combo would be Clark-Kerry or Kerry-Clark, so long as it is the two of you. The debates between you and the "cowboy" would be great if they only allow for real debating and not have it programmed to allow Bush to have any edge. Please accept this challenge and announce your candidacy on the Today show to Katie!!!!!

It is simply the time that you must step in and fill the position with dignity, strength and foresight. Our nation cannot enure four more years of the Bush administration.

America needs a new president. This is an extreme understatement. I have never been more afraid for the future of our country than I am now with Bush in office. And it's as if the entire country is in denial of what is happening right under their noses. I believe that part of this denial is the fact that there isn't a Democratic candidate that is strong enough, and especially believeable enough, when speaking out on military issues, homeland security, foriegn policy, etc... Please take this call to action. And please don't take a more minor role by being a Vice Presidential candidiate. Only you in the lead will be a strong enough force to oust Bush.

I was "awestruck" seeing you report on the War coverage and lost many a goods nights sleep because of your ability to clearly break it down; make it understandable to John Q. Public. Your SUPERIOR intelligence, calm manner, ability to translate to the viewers, enormous compassion and worry for out troops are but just a few of the reasons we need you to run our Nation. I am 58 Years old, from the Kennedy years and not since then will there be such vitality back into the White House should you choose to run for our President and lead us back into a Quieter and more Gentle Nation. I am also a Clinton supporter and would go to the ends of the earth to see you elected. I have never actually taken an active role in political elections but I have always voted and feel so proud to be born an American exercising my rights to live in this great country; Our FREE America. I firlmy believe that you would become best known as our "Gentle President;Our STRONGEST President." It will certainly take more than 2 terms in the White House for our newly elected President to turn things around and put us back on the right road,but you are by far our best chance for that to happen. Just like Princess Diana.....you are a "People's President!" I have discussed this with others and they all feel the same way. You are not "Untouchable" and are so respectful to others. I also hear from many others that they too feel that "We", as a "Nation" have been shut out of OUR OWN WHITE HOUSE........be it Democrat or Republican. We need your kind, gentle, intelligent and FORCEFUL decisions to embrace us, as a Nation, and begin to live as a UNIFIED NATION once again. God help our Nation as well as the war torn Nations of such turmoil and destruction as we stand today. You have served our nation so well already, but PLEASE.........consider this election as one more time we can ask of your services. I am ashamed to say that I almost feel as if I would not even vote in the next election for the first ever with the state of conditions we now live in as well as the Democratic candidates running to date. None of them are right for the job. I have been a Democrat all my life but should you run on a Republican Ticket I WOULD STILL VOTE FOR YOU. It makes no difference whether it is one party or the other. It is just getting the right person into the position to do the enormous job ahead of our Nation and begin our own clean-up process. Troubles that haunt us daily on the screen from afar are heartbreaking. Yet, troubles in our very own backyard is where the process of healing is where the answers lie. I am going onto your website, downloading flyers and sending emails to everyone I can to expose your name and show support in our efforts to insure you will be on our ticket to elect as our new President. I have little money but will become involved in any local fund raiser I can to help with the cost of running for office. I have NOT BEEEN THIS EXCITED ABOUT AN ELECTION since the Kennedy years with the prospect that you are considering running. For the sake of not only our Nation, but for the betterment of all mankind in the midst of so much tragedy Worldwide.........PLEASE, announce to the public you will be on our ticket. If you have belief in a "Higher Power" turn it over to that power and your decision will come to you........not you to it. And by the grace of my own God I pray that my own prayers will be answered by you being elected as Our Next President. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers as you face these enormous issues and decisions that have been put before you at this time. Men like you do not come along very often and because you have already dedicated your entire career to out Nation already, I hope you will find it in your heart to understand YOU CAN REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE and serve our Country one more time. (2 Terms would be lovely!) I have a FAVORITE news correspondent and that is AARON BROWN. I saw you sit next to him many times as you advised us of war events. DO ME A FAVOR........if you decide to run.........ANNOUNCE IT WITH HIM BEING NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM YOU! He doesn't have your qualifications to run, but boy.......in his job he projects the same type of image to his public that you do.......and WE LOVE IT! I have never written anything like this before and feel kind of silly doing it........but trust me, I have never been more sure of anything in my whole life than I am about you running for President. God forbid I should even use the name Michael Jackson as a role model, but he did a WONDERFUL SONG years ago called 'HEAL THE WORLD"........it reminds me of what you could do. Listen to it; make it your campaign song! I have a strong musical background of professionals in my family and the words in that particular song sure tug at a lot of peoples hearts right now. God Bless you with the ability to make the right decision be it "yes" or no.........and may you always be at peace with that decision. With Gratitude, Karen and Tony Waeschle

Unlike messrs. John Hlinko and Josh Margulies, who are spearheading the Draft Wesley Clark dive, I have meet you at the briefing of the Women's Leadership Forum. And, yes, you were - and are - most impressive. I have heard you several times on TV and even taped one of the interviews you gave.

I am a dedicated Democrat; a citizen who believes wholeheartedly and value our Constitution, the life-blood of our democracy. Yet time

and again, it has been abrocated, ignored and interpreted

erroneously, sometimes with malice.

The 2nd Amendment of the Constitution begins "A well regulated Militia (note the capitalization), being necessary to the security

of a freed State" Why this phrasing? Go the Section (Article) 8;

The Congress shall have power: paragraphs 15 & 16; to wit --

TO PROVIDE for calling forth the militia to EXECUTE THE LAWS OF THE UNION, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;

TO PROVIDE for ORGANIZING, ARMING, AND DISCIPLINING THE MILITIA, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of

the UNITED STATES, reserving to he States respectively, the

APPOINTMENT OF THE OFFICERS, and the authority of training the

militia ACCORDING TO THE DISCIPLINE PRESCRIBED BY CONGRESS.

I'm also a realist and wouldn't expect you to articulate this, even

if you came to believe this. I do want to replace Bush, et al, and as a long standing activist, I'll do everything I can to see that

happen. Will you? Would you be willing to make a sacrifice that may bruise your (leadership) ego? Would you consider (if chosen) running as a Vice Presidential candidate? Tough question for a tough guy. Hilda B. Classon

and again, it has been abrocated, defiled by those who would make this country into their own image.

And here's where I have a problem with you - the Constitution when

it comes to guns. I fully appreciate that you are a military man and your perception on guns comes from that experience.

The 2nd Amendment starts with the phrase "A well regulated Militia (note the capitalization of that word), being necessary to the SECURITY OF A FREE STATE". That should give you a hint, at least, that there is more to the 2nd Amendment than meets the eye.

Under section 8, "The Congress Shall have power", scrolled down to paragraphs 15 & 16, which clearly defines what a Militial is:

TO PROVIDE for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union

To everyone who is "scared" to have a Rhodes Scholar General running this country please heed this: POLITICIANS HAVE GOTTEN US INTO THIS MESS. It's funny, the General has had nothing to do with the current state of affairs for America domestically and internationally but for some reason people believe that the Politicians who are to blame will all of the sudden become competent. Fact: Bush, Dean, Kerry, Gephart, Lieberman, Edwards, Graham are all politicians. Fact: General has served this country faithfully for thirty years. Rove and this administration are not scared of politicians like Dean, but they are scared of General Clark. There's a reason for that. We need someone who cares about America's security and it's people. Not just a certain selection of people. The Dems have rallied because of the extreme right-wing ideals of this Administration not because we have the ideal candidate. Rallying cries come from a party shooting itself in the foot. To prevent that from happening to the Dems we don't need an extreme emotional "knee jerk" reaction because that will revive and rally the neo-cons once again. General Clark has a perspective beyond the partisan politics that continues to allow this country to victimize it's own people. Get real and wake up. Support General Clark!

Dear General Clark, If Joseph Biden of Delaware doesn't announce his candidacy there will be an urgent need for a person with strong experience in foriegn policy and national security to cream Bush. I have no doubt that you could beat Bush in the next election, however I am worried that you will have a hard time recieving a democratic nomination if you don't "throw your hat in" soon. In the field right now there is no "straight shooter" with national security expertise; they are all speaking a politicians language that most americans are turned off by. One of the reasons Bush has support is because he speaks simply to the common citizen. If you run we will have a highly regarded expert on national security and foreign policy as well as a straight shooter. Your candidacy is key to wining the next election for Democrats.

I just listened to c-span and as a conservative Republican but liberal on social issues, I believe that the attack on Iraq was totally against all precedents in American history. I believe that out current President is unqualified for the Office and it is time to have a president that we and the world can be proud of to spread our ideas of freedom and self-government. I wouldl vote for Colin Powell in a heartbeat but in my mind Wesley Clark would be a substantial improvement over the dangerous administration we have now.If he runs I will pledge my time and finances to help get him elected. What America reallyneeds is a candidate that is not elected by the right-wings nuts or the far left-wing factions like the NEA and Trial Lawyers but represents the average American who is fiscally conservative,strong on defense but moderate and thoughtfull on social issues . General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I have never in my life been actively involved in politics until George W. Bush was given the presidency of the United States of America. I am alarmed at the true fact that we have become a rogue nation. The arrogant way our leaders talk down to the countries that do not agree with us. The war that should never have happened, the cash and carry policy, and the dismantling of treaties and environmental safeguards. I have listened to you speak many times. It would be wonderful and give this country hope again under your presidency to become the proud and honorable nation we once were, and.. to have a president that is both tough and knowledgeable. I will work for you presidency wherever and to do whatever it takes to elect you. One who can be a voice for common sense and moderation in these dangerous, uncertain times.

General Clark: Plato's Republic raises the point that two necessary conditions must be met before a just state can exist. The leaders of the state must be philosophers first, seeking to understand right and wrong through study and action. Second, those who would lead the state must not nominate themselves for the position, for that kind of ambition makes them unfit to lead. Leaders of a just state must accept the call to lead reluctantly, which shows their qualificaiton. General Clark, I believe you are both a philosopher and a reluctant leader, exactly the kind of person we need to refocus our nation on becoming more just. I ask you to please, run for the Office of President.

Dear General Clark, I am a registered Democrat - a moderate registered Democrat. I won't go into why I disagree with the present administration except to say that I disagree with almost 100% of their policies both domestic and foreign. I don't believe they have the best interests of the majority of Americans nor the majority of non-Americans in mind when strategizing and implementing their national and world-wide philosophies. I have been watching the draftwesleyclark.com website for several weeks and, based on your admirable biography, your postions on issues important to our country and to the world and my almost complete disagreement with the philosophy of the right wing of the Republican party as exemplified by the current administration, I encourage you with as much passion as can be conveyed via and email to run for President of our wonderful United States in 2004.

I would love to see a Kerry/Clark ticket in 2004, because that would be the one to defeat Bush with relative ease. I realize that may not be what you want to hear, but it is likely that if Gen. Clark enters the primary he will split the votes of Gephardt, Kerry and others, while leaving the broad base of Dean as the largest group. Dean will not and cannot beat Bush in the general election, so America would end up with four more years of greed and failure. Many would disagree with me and I have no problem with that being the case. However, I felt compelled to write Gen. Clark and express my concern regarding his campaign and ask if there may be a chance that he would endorse John Kerry in the primary and join the ticket for the general election. The democratic party needs to find some unity, and I couldn't think of a better combination than that of two men who have served our country with honor. Most Americans have suffered greatly at the hands of the inept Bush administration and it would be nice to know that two highly qualified people could come together for the good of this great country. Regardless, if General Clark runs in the primary and earns the nomination, he will have the vote and support of my family in the general election. Many in my family have been active in politics for several years and we all have an appreciation and love for the democratic process. Good luck to General Clark in all future endeavors, and many thanks for bravely serving our great nation. You have the respect and admiration of many throughout the world. Pragmatically, Jason D.

My Dear General, Robert E. Lee said "do your duty in all things. You cannot do more, you cannot wish to do less." In an America when the economy is in disarray, morale among citizens is low, credibility of the executive branch is undermined, war is waged against a country based on absolutely fallacious arguments, the privacy of law abiding americans are in jeopardy and the patriotic attitude of americans is criticized when they exercise their constitutional right to verbally challenge the government. It is your duty as the great american you are and the hero you will always be to get up out of the sidelines and offer up your services to the american people who love you so much. Your country needs you sir, arise and do your duty. Your Friend, Kingsley

Dear Mr. Clark, I have never before been so interested in supporting an individual to run for president.I and my family urge you to run.I travel to many different nations on business and have found that under this administration the general opinion of America has never been worse.The solidarity expressed by the world after Sept 11th has been squandered.America is seen in the eyes of many as an Empire seeker without concern for the rest of the world except to dominate it.I fear we have lost the moral high ground due to the arrogant bluster of the Rumsfeld/Cheney/Bush administration.Many in the world have gone from admiring us to fearing us which in the long run will lead to more hate.I am convinced that you are the man to lead us back to a unified world where America leads not only millitarily but moraly.RUN WESLEY RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. America needs a new president who will represent the people and not just corporations who contribute money. America needs a new president who will watch over our environment. We need a new president who will honor and respect our national forests and national parks - not one who will let corporations to come in and log the trees in the name of preventing forest fires as most forest fires renew the forests and logging just leaves tree stumps standing like statues. We need a new president who will look at alternative energy sources - not just oil and gas drilling. WE ABSOLUTELY NEED AN INTELLIGENT PRESIDENT TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY! 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, It is imperative that we elect a new president to run this country, one who has integrity and can put the country back to what it should be. Our country is being trashed by the Bush administration, with a failed foreign policy, and deceit in his entire policy agenda. Please throw your hat into the ring and lead our country back to emotional and economical health. I'm afraid that without some sanity in our government, the outlook for our country is very grim indeed. Please help us.

General Clark, Sir, As a military academy graduate, (USCGA 55) I may have some understanding of the qualities needed, at this extremely critical time, to properly lead this country in its domestic policies, its outreach in foreign policies, and in its policies of defense against hostile forces. I do not see any of these qualities in the present President and, I am sorry to say, no one in the present contenders for the Democratic candidacy seems to combine all the necessary qualities either. I believe that we need the leadership of a person trained to be a leader and someone who has shown the qualities of a leader. You, sir, appear to have the qualifications and I believe that you owe this country one more debt of service. Please make yourself available as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Respectfully, Ronald Gaspard (P.S. By date of rank, I am eleven year senior (1955 vis-a vis 1966), so you should listen to me.)

I have never thought I'd wake up in America and feel scared: scared that I'll never find a job that will pay me enough to save for my son's future and scared that I could be the target of a terrorist plot. But, in the course of the past three years, both of these scenarios have come true as a result of the current administration's unwillingness to support the average working American and because of their intolerence to change foreign policies that have not worked in more than 50 years. I see in you someone who will not only work with those of average means to provide better-paying jobs - not just more and more affordable and better health care and educational opportunities for the working poor and middle class - the forgotten majority - of this country. I also see in you someone who has experience making foreign policy decisions that will, not only be in the best interest of this country, but will take other countries and their citizens into account, repairing the American credibility worldwide. Please run for president. My little boy needs you there to ensure his future.

Dear General Clark, I believe we are at a turning point in our country's history. The future of our country is at stake. The current administration governs by fabricating, manipulating and exaggerating evidence of threats against our people, then exploiting those fears to fulfill thier despicable agenda. My security is far less important to me than my liberty. This country was founded on the principle; "Give me liberty or give me death",not "Give me liberty as long as i am secure". General Clark, you are the man that can beat this president in 2004. Your country needs you, again. Reverse this current agenda so we may all be secure in knowing that the man in the white house has and will continue to fight for our freedom, our future and our way of life. Thank you

The Democratic Party needs an individual with high ideals and strong leadership and communication skills. In reading you stands on the issue, I am reminded in some ways of Colin Powell (one of the few Republicans I have much respect for). I am fearful of the consequences of the Patriot Act if not revisited and I am also fearful of the direction our country is going while in the hands of the far right. We need a voice of moderation and in my humble opinion, you would fill the bill enormously. Please give consideration to throwing your had in the ring - I think you might just have the best shot of any Democrat in the race, and would certainly have my vote and support.

The United States is in the midst of a dangerous and disturbing era. We are being "led" by Karl Rove's, corporate America's and the military- industrial complex's puppet. We were drawn into a war in Iraq for the benefit of Bush's cronies in the oil business and anyone who thinks otherwise is as green as a gourd. The environment is being bludgeoned by Bush policy and the lack thereof. The rich were given a tax and my social security check is taxed. I spend $2000 a year on prescription medications and $1600 a year to suplement my Medicare. That leaves me $11700 from my social security. That is ludicrous. The Republican's are trying to make power grabs in places like Texas and California which to me is scary. There was a blackout in the northeast and midwest which Tom Delay blames on the democrats for blocking the enery bill, the same Tom Delay who was instrumental in blocking $350,000,000 to improve the grid because it would have also raised assitance for the poor on their electricity bills. I could go on and on. I have lived thru the presidencies of every president since FDR. I have never been more concerned or alarmed than I am with the one we have now and after Richard Nixon and his enemies list, I didn't think that possible. We need a housecleaning General Clark. You are the man who can do that. Please run for Preident. Please!

The United States, nay, the world is at a frigtening crossroads. Wisdom abroad and compassion at home are the key vitures necessary to take us into the 21st century. I am a Democrat who has been deeply disgusted by the ignorance and immaturity of our current president. More than that, however, there is not one Democrat running for office that excites my interest. When I watch the nine candidates I see nine men who dislike Bush either on a foreign affairs basis or a domestic basis or both. Then they break into two camps those that supported the war and are therefore afraid to criticize it, and those who are proud to criticize it but do not seem to have the vision or desire to resolve what a cowboy president got us into. When I saw Wesley Clake several times floating balloons hinting at a run for the presidency. However, he has not come out openly. It is about time, he has the foreign affairs legitimacy and the democractic values that I strongly support and I pray that he will run. I have no doubt thatif he joins the race, he is the only one that can challenge Bush on the foreign relations front, and unless the economy turns around he, along with almost every democrat can take Bush on domestically. Please General Clarke, fulfill my American dream -- RUN FOR PRESIDENT!! Sincerely, Wade Marsten

Re: Education I have not seen Clark comments on Education and I would like to offer the General some thoughts if he has not taken a position. NCLB needs to GO not be reformed. I have been reading Waging Modern War and think much of your understanding about dynamics in the military can be applied to Education. Education is not a group who knows itself or understands it's work, many careerists distort the "expertise", and ed. research is being manipulated by the grant process (see Joanne Yatvin's minority poistion from the National Reading Panel). In fact educational research in general is an absurd field, ask any sociologist or other real researcher. As the General reflects often in his book, it's all about the people. Teaching and learning is about kids following along behind a competent, dynamic adult, mentoring. Personalities the critical ingredient and should not be interfered with. Give Principal's authority and freedom to act and hold them acountable. I expect these are things the General already knows from experience. I am committed to Clark's presidency.

Dear General, I'm a life-long republican from east Texas, recently relocated to Jacksonville, Florida. I've always been active in politics; I even did campaigning for Dole ('96) and for President Bush during his second campaign for governor of Texas, and do not regret that support. However, this is no longer a governship we're talking about. An under-educated "good ole' boy" may be suited to be governor of Texas, but we need a real leader to be our president. That's why I'm writing you today. You are that leader. Please do us the honor of being our next president. Show the world that American's are courageous enough to wage war, but smart enough to know when NOT to. Help us rebuild the international alliances our country has been building over the last 8 decades. Respectually, Gregory G. Foster, J.D.

General Clark, I am writing you this note to ask you to run for President in the coming election. I have become very concerned with the direction of that our country has taken under this president. He has misled the American people purposefully in unilateraly launching this war, and too much good will towards the American people has been squandered since the attacks of 9/11, too many allies have been alienated, too many innocent people are suffering abroad and too many American soldiers, airmen, marines and sailors lives are being squandered by a man who only could volunteer to protect the skys of Texas when you where leading in Vietnam. This administration is too close to certain corporate giants, has the tax code all wrong (again to benefit wealthy friends), is the worst on environmental policy, education, and is twisting the Bill Of Right's in the name of security. And on the economy forget about it! We're in trouble. Big trouble. Please do it for our country, it's people, land and environment, our children and future. We need someone who can take the fight to this president on foriegn policy and is not tone deaf of fiscal and social policy. WE NEED A WINNER! WE NEED YOU!

General Clark, I am writing this letter to join the chorus of voices asking you to run for President of the United States in 2004. Since the September 11th attacks, we have heard time and time again about the leadership of President George W. Bush. But where has he led us? Into the doldrums of economic decline and endless war. The man who loudly touted himself as a "uniter, not a divider" has led a country that was united after the WTC/Pentagon attacks and has divided it almost 50/50. He has taken the support and sympathy of the world and turned it into resentment and fear. This is not uniting. This is not "changing the tone." This country needs a leader right now, a leader who will not only talk the talk but walk the walk. The United States needs a President with whom, as Harry Truman said all those years ago, "the buck stops here." Every time I hear your words, I become more convinced that that leader, that President, is you. If you enter the race, I pledge to you my complete support until Election Day 2004. America cannot afford four more years of Bush. You can do much to ensure that we do not have to. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I've been listening to you speak for the last couple of months, and I'm convinced that you could do a lot of good for our country as President. America needs responsible, thoughtful, visionary leadership. It will quite a challenge to change the priorities the current administration has in place, but you are in a great position to give it a try. Please run for President.

I can think of few times when our nation has been in such danger, and I'm not referring to terrorism. The Bush adminsitration's disregard for our Constitution, the squandering of America's position as a respected leader among nations, the perversion of our domestic priorities and misdirection of our nation's wealth as a plutocracy is created, the bleeding of our economic recovery in order to support our leaders' misguided international agenda --- all driven by narrowly focused zealotry and greed and maintained under a premise of democratic government through misinformation and propaganda. You have spent your adult life serving your country, you have seen combat, now we are asking you to serve America in the most critical battle of your lifetime. Please, enter the presidential race as the Democratic candidate. I'm convinced that you are the candidate who can defeat G.W. Bush and turn our country away from the disastrous course it is now on.

Thirty-two years ago I left the Army. After twenty months in the Army, ten in Vietnam (easy duty), I left with two indelible lessons: the difference between combat veterans and the rest of us is enormous; and follow generals at your peril. But when I heard President Bush say "bring'em on" I finally realized how reckless our current president is. And when I saw him in the flight suit on the aircraft carrier I finally realized how empty and manipulative is his cheap and easy patriotism. Now I'm ready to follow another general. Please run for President.

Dear General Clark, I believe America prefers a real war hero like you to be president, rather than our current one who occasionally dresses like a war hero for expensive, fake photo opportunities. Your civilian accomplishments will also be a refreshing contrast to the current president's resume of sweet heart deals and corporate welfare. Either way, civilian or military, when the public compares you two, the disparity will be startling. Please make Labor day weekend a great one for working people by announcing you will be running for president. Dan Flikkema

Dear Gerneral Clark, Please run for president. The other candidates are interesting, particularly Howard Dean, but I do think a man of your experience would be a better candidate. I heard you speak on the Diane Reim(sp?) show recently and was most impressed. With Bush doing things like wearing mi.litary uniform the military is losing its identity. With Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense, we are making appalling decisions both in war and in "peace." We really need a fine experienced candidate like yourself to stop the very frightening series of decisions being made by this administration. One of the latest is reversing pollution coltrols for old factories. I could go on and on, but must stop with just one plea: PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT AS A DEMOCRAT IN THE NH PRIMARY!! (Ms.) Kirby T.

Dear General Clark -- At this difficult time, the Democratic Party and this country needs a leader with your military background, global perspective, communication skills, and raw intelligence. General, I'd like to highlight a few of the concerns that have prompted this concerned citizen to write to you. The Republicans are on the verge of transforming the judiciary into an instrument that will cripple this country's ability to make progress on such issues as civil rights and protecting the environment for a generation; they are eviscerating the traditional church/state divide, a pillar of our republic since its inception; they're tax policy is creating a society of haves and have nots reminiscent of America in the robber baron era; and their unilateralism abroad constitutes a new and dangerous type of nationalism that threatens to undermine international institutions and our own democratic traditions. Given the enormous financial advantage the Republicans enjoy, the Republican/Rupert Murdoch/Rush Limbaugh echo chamber, and the understandable desire of Americans to give the President the benefit of the doubt when the country is engaged in a "war against terror," winning will be an uphill battle for any Democrat. However, if anyone has a chance of stemming the reactionary Republican tide, I believe it’s you. Please general, your country needs you! - Avner M. Shapiro

I agree that America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. However, I beleive the Democratic Party is in desperate need of leadership as well. I have spent most of my adult life (age 22-37) as an elected official (on the local and state levels). I retired from public offices 5 years ago. One of the several resons I did so was a disillusionment with Democratic Party leadership. I remain a Democrat. Yet, I fear that , in an effort to pander to all of our key constituent groups, we have lost our common sense. Everything I've read about you, from the issue positions highlighted on this web site to your outstanding resume, indicates that you could be the person to return our party and our country to the path of compassionate, efficient, common sense government. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General, As the son of a Colonel in the US Army, I have lived overseas and seen firsthand much of the world and the impact that America has on it. I have seen true leadership at many levels of the government, met many great leaders, but also have felt the absence of leadership at times. This is is one of those times, a time when we have no true leader, when we see no leadership, rather only political games. We need a hero like you General, someone who will lead with courage, dignity, wisdom, and above all else with a true passion for the well-being of the citizens of this country and for humanity as a whole. I understand there are many factors to consider, but at the end of the day Americans would be losing a lot if you were not to run for president. Please run. Sincerely, Emilio Torres-Lumsden

I would expect the decision to run for President of the United States to be an intensely personal and difficult decision. You must consider the impact upon your family and upon yourself, of shouldering such a heavy burden. I do not know why a letter from me, a stranger, would convince you to run. I'm just an American, who loves my country, and who believes strongly that the world's last remaining superpower is being led in a direction that is causing the world, including our allies, to question our motives. I believe that the current administration is creating more enemies than friends. And America, for all of its might, does not need more enemies. I look at what has happened in Afghanistan. How, instead of putting the necessary resources in place to rebuild this country and keep our promises to our friends there, we have embarked on a war in Iraq with uncertain timelines, and unprecedented costs, with negligable economic and security rewards. I look at our economy. Despite tax cuts that we could ill afford, and that have produced record deficits, the Silicon Valley, where I work, holds an unprecedented 8.4% unemployment rate. I don't believe that America can afford four more years of this type of leadership, Mr. Clark. And having heard from the other candidates, I don't believe that they can capture the moderates that will be required to win this election. In these uncertain times, we need to be guided by someone who is intensely familiar with the military, but who will not abuse our power in ways that cause even our closest allies to distrust our motives. And while John Kerry has a military background, he still comes across as a politician, above all other things. And he lacks the energy that I've seen you demonstrate. If I thought that another candidate had a chance, I would volunteer for them. One who had already declared and started running and had a warchest underway. For you have fallen behind, Mr. Clark, by playing this waiting game. And it may still be a hopeless effort, at this point, because the democrats must spend a great deal of money to advertise against each other in the primary, while Bush has used the bully pulpit of the presidency to secure a large warchest for the general election. And money can make a very large difference, in an election, Mr. Clark. But we have to try. If you will agree to run, I will volunteer to support you. And I will work hard to do so. I am not an 'experienced volunteer.' I am a young person, in his, early 30's. A father and a husband. I have a full time job. But I am energetic. I have skills, like creation of websites, and marketing. I could be useful. But only, if you declare your candidacy. Delay may have already cost us too much time. But let's do our best and see. The country deserves better, than what we've seen so far.

Last time I got actively involved was for JFK in 1960 as a young Marine stationed at Monterey studying Russian. The time is right; I'm not sure many of us know enough about you to commit ... but ... if you are interested in being a Statesman versus a Politician, the country has a need, General Clark. If, however, you are going to wait for the next poll to see what you think, please do NOT run for president. Most Sincerely, Donald F. Cuniff, Ed.D.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I have read where you stand on many of the issues that I am concerned with and I am in agreement with your position. As a retired Master Sergeant I am concerned that our Nation is being looted by those in the current administration and this can only get worse if the current President is reelected. As far as I can see, you are the only candidate the Democratic party could support that effectively ties the hands of the current President with respect to his Iraqi policy. It is my further concern that many young men and women are losing their lives only to enrichen the purses of the few. Being a Vietnam veteran, I am incensed! It is my sense that only one who has been in combat should have the authority to send our young men and women to that end. And lastly, having been in the military during the transition to an all-volunteer service and the necessary critical emphasis this placed on the role of our National Guard and Reserves, knowing their acknowledged limitations during deployment, I am very concerned about how thinly our forces are deployed and the many theaters they are assigned to. In my estimation this leaves us vulnerable to other crises that may ACTUALLY threaten our way of life. 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.

Something needs to be done about that nincompoop Bush and the psycho-conservative ideologues he has placed in the positions of power. And this comes from a registered Republican. The Democrats, as it stands, are dead in the water. We need you to enter this race and focus some attention on real issues rather than the stale, canned ultra-liberal hogwash proposed by the current Democratic candidates. Someone must bring this country back to the center. That someone is you. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Dear General Clark, As a citizen who feels aligned to the goals of the Democratic party, I am asking you to please consider a run for President of the United States. You are highly respected as a militry leader and, just like President Eisenhower, you have what it takes to be a great national leader. The Democratic Party needs you. Any other candidate in the current field will be seen as too liberal by mainstream America, and the old Republican charge that Democrats are "soft on Defense" will be leveled against them, and will have a negative impact on their candicacy. You are in a unique position, General Clark. I'm afraid that, without you in the race, we will have the same President until 2008---and that is just too long. Thank You for listening.................

America needs a president who will behave responsibly on the world scene, not one who seems hell-bent on seeing how many treaties and alliances he can break. We need a fiscally responsible president, not who will not transform a huge surplus into an all-time record deficit. We need a president who can speak in complete sentences. We need a president who's a grown-up. Actually, we need a Democrat. That means we need to nominate somebody who in electable. That means our candidate has to look like a president. And the other sad sacks that are running all look like . . . losers. I mean, John Kerry seems like a nice guy and everything, but he always looks like he just found out his mother died. Dick Gephart looks like your high school buddy who was always too timid to ask out the girl he really liked, so she married somebody else. Yeesh. I mean, face it, in America today, it's all about how you look on TV. Presidential beauty is pixel-deep. Anyway, you've got good pixels. And you seem smart and self-possessed, like a real leader. And you said the right thing about the hideous Bush tax cuts, even though the Right crucified you and called you a commie. So, DO IT. You know you want it. Run for president. You'll win. I mean, picture it--you debating Bushie boy on TV? He'd look like a midget. Thanks.

I know that the direction of a nation directly impact the lives of its people and more so its children. Our nation actions on the internationl scene has created a national security monster that threatens the security of not only our selves but our children. On domestic affairs our economy is not conducive to effective planning for our childrens' future while making sure that their is a roof over our heads and food on the table. General clark for the sake of our children I urge you to please deliver us from the Bush administration and its path of destruction. WESLEY CLARK FOR PRESIDENT.

General Clark, I have seen you on the news reports and was impressed by the clarity of the statements. My wife and I have signed up to work for the Democratic party because of the California recall. We will be staying to volunteer hours for the Presidential race. I realize that we need someone who would be a hard person for the Republican media machine to put down. I feel that they are laughing at the group so far declared even though there is so much material against the lies and cowboy attitude of a person who can't ride a horse. Well, neither can I but I would work constantly for you to be our new President. I read alot and can go into the details but this is such a necessity to bring in a new administration, to show the Moslem world that we are not all the enemy, to end the hatred. One idea is to take out the taxes on the oil and give a fair price to the people whose resourses we are using. The Earth needs help and a clear message. Please Run. Harvey Cohon

Dear General Clark, If you generally concur with the brief 4 point international policy statement ouitlined below, I would like to encourage you to run for president and offer my services as a experienced field coordinator/operative and perhaps as a member of your issues formulation staff. Point#1- Current and near term threats and opportunities dictate that we give a robust, innovative multi-dimensional "international policy" attention atleast equal to that of domestic policy. Point#2- The Bush "foriegn policy" is creating far more enemies than it eliminates and fewer and less helpful allies. The Bushit approach is taking us in a catastrophic direction by being overly militaristic and unilateral and underappreciating the effect that our percieved gluttony in the face of poverty induced suffering has on potential adversaries. Point#3- A preferred "international Policy" would feature something similar to what I call the DOSEEDS Alliance (Democracies Organized for Security, the Environment and Economic development Standards). More geographically expansive and multi-dimensionally involved than NATO and more selective of membership and coordinated of purpose than the U.N., DOSEEDS would launch a New Extended Marshall Plan to wage a campaign against Terrorism Injustice and Poverty (The TIP War). The three primary reasons for investing in DOSSEDS/NEMP are; 3a-Enhanced security by investing in and with aliies more willing and able to assist with the military,peacekeeping ,financial, logistical and intelligence resources to address threats. 3b- Enhanced multi-national longterm prosperity by forming a "Most Favored Nations" trade alliance with standardized worker, consumer and environmental rights and protections. 3c- Serve a civil/spiritual purpose of eliminating the suffering caused by poverty and lack of opportunity first among intial DOSEEDS members and then over a decade or generation, worldwide, utilizing the least violent methods possible necessary for each circumstance. Point#4 Unfortunately this type of policy will not easily, cheaply or quickly reap its ultimate rewards. A degree of short/medium term public mobilization and self sacrifice comparable to what we invested in the 1940's and 50's appears necessary. General Clark, you appear to be the best prospective leader to take this message to the American people. If you decide to run with a similar position I would like to dedicate virtual around the clock service to the campaign enduring spartan conditions and asking only subsistence compensation. While I would like to build on my experience as a innovative and well regarded field coordinator/operative I would also like to explore joining your issues formulation team by having three additional ideas assesed by your chief of staff/personel dept/staff and supporters with better credentials/practical issues experience than I. Briefly stated these ideas include: Idea#2 A Middle East stabilization proposal I call the "Ten Year- Four Entities Palestinian/Israeli Co-exsistence Initative." The TY-FEPICI outline is 4 pages in length. Idea#3 A joint public/private enterprise zone project that will have significant direct Mid-Atlantic and indirect national economic benifits which I call the "Tour America Travel and Tourism Theme Park". The Tour America outline is two pages in length. Idea#4 A plan to reform the presidential primary process called the "Most Americans Presidential Primary Plan and Schedule". The MAPPPS outline is 5 pages in length. Sir, this country needs an extraordinary leader and I believe you may be that person. It is of the utmost importance to me to be involved in such an effort. If you choose to run please have someone contact me at their earliest convenince. Thank-ypu for your time and consideration. Take Care and Love/God Bless. Sincerely, Bob Ahlstrom

I only found out two days ago that there was a group of like minded supporters with the same thoughts in mind. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I know it is a difficult decision for someone like yourself who has been outside of the political arena to decide to throw his hat in for the office of President. But our country clearly needs someone with your leadership skills to win back our credibility abroad, our commitment to a free and open society here at home, and whom can defeat a president who is popular only because of security anxities felt by most Americans. You can address those anxieties more credibly than other Democratic candidate - and you can also articulate the values which the party (and I believe most of this nation) hold in their hearts. Please Please Please consider running. I will work hard for your election if you do choose to run, and will have an enthusiasm which seems far remote at the present time, in this developing vitally important race. (The next president picks perhaps two or three justices of the Supreme Court as well - this dare not be John Ashcroft/aka George W Bush). Thank You! Dan Weisberg Chicago

Do you really think that just cause you supervised the bombing of a third world country you're qualified to be president? Maybe you could be vp with Hillary as the boss. God that's a disgusting thought. BTW: What sort of losers would set up a site supporting a numb-nuts like you? Ha-Ha Rod Nelson

Dear General Clark, I urge you to run for one simple reason. I personally believe that you are the only "candidate" offering the integrity, credibility and qualifications to unseat President Bush. It is imperative that President Bush be removed from office during the next election. I'm tired of having our country so poorly represented by a mind-numbing, word-mangling simpleton who has sold out this country to his special interests. PLEASE RUN!

This government's nuclear weapons policy, defense spending, disrespect for the enviroment, budget deficit,high unemployment is irresponsible. General Clark, America needs you.

Out of the field of potential Democratic candidates, you are uniquely qualified to counter Carl Rove's unseemly, uberpatriotic campaign strategies. More than that, you have strength of character and a keen intellect, two qualities absent in the current administration. Even if you decide not to run, I hope that you continue to be a voice of reason amidst the chattering heads on television.

As a registered, absentee voter from Oregon living in Japan, I am very concerned about America's place in the world. The world is changing, and the current administration's arrogance in response to this is disheartening. America risks losing its integrity and position of moral leadership. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. We need a voice for common sense and moderation. I am afraid no other candidate really has a chance of defeating President Bush, nor the skills necessary to lead effectively even if he does. General Clark, please run for president.

But he shouldn't run for the sake of the democrats, he represents our best opportunity to win the needed support of the world on terrorism and foreign policy and can reverse the worldwide trend of anti-americanism that threatens our national security. Good luck General. So hurry up and declare already....

General Clark, You have renewed my interest in the political process which was mostly extinguished after the 2000 election debacle that resulted in the appointment of George Bush to the presidency. From the first time I heard you speak, I have been impressed by the authenticity with which you communicate your views. You appear to have a well informed and nuanced understanding of the salient issues that confront this country. You also have a gift for clearly articulating the concerns that I and many other Americans have regarding this administration's handling of both foreign and domestic affairs. This country needs new leadership and in my estimation you appear to possess the qualities of integrity, flexibility, and intellect to a greater extent than the other democratic contenders and which are lacking in the current US president. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

However, I feel that you, more than any other possible candidate, has the ability to inspire and interest both young and old, rich and poor, blue and white collar. America needs a man of your stature. America needs a leader as smart, innovative, and charismatic as yourself. General Clark, on behalf of my generation-- the ones who will eventually inherit this world-- I urge you to ensure that we are not left with an embattled and economically weak nation when it is our turn to lead. General Clark, please run for president, never before has our country been in such dire need for leadership such as yours.

I couldn't believe that the decision had already been made, but now I know it was. I felt this preemptive war was wrong and that we were being rushed into doing this. I believe this administration was not at all honest in the facts. I was impressed by your clear views on this issue and immediately thought that you were someone I would back to lead our country.

I am deeply concerned about the direction our country has taken since George Bush was appointed president. Secrets and lies abound, the deficit is mounting, and we have made many more enemies around the world. I have heard you speak on CNN and on other new shows and I have been very impressed. America needs a new president, and I believe you are the only one out there who can stand up to George Bush and defeat him. You have given a great deal to your country over the years. It is a great deal to ask that you give again, but I belive you are the man for these troubled times. A man of vision, of patience, of tolerance, and of wisdom. And one who has demonstrated unquestionable leadership over the years. How wonderful to have a president who would not have to play at having been a soldier. Please, for the sake of our children and all that we hold dear, consider that America needs you. And please run for president.

I believe you just may be the best possible candidate for President the Democratic Party can nominate. I have read your views on the issues most important to me as an American: International policy,how America conducts itself as part of the world community: Solving problems at home: getting the economy recharged:providing health care and services for all our citizens: proportional taxation : a woman's right to free choice. Most important, I believe you a gifted with a keen intelect and an unusual grasp of extraordinarily complex issues which face us both internationally and domestically. Please add my voice to all those who are asking you to seriously consider a run for the presidency in 2004! Enthusiastically, Eleanor W. McGrath

America was NOT founded upon a Progressive Income Tax. But I'm willing to forgive you for that foolish comment. You're still a better man that George "draft dodger" Bush. I will support you for President if you can support a fair tax for everyone, like the proposal offered at: www.FairTax.org The progressive Income Tax has been a failure. It has caused class warfare in this country and brought the Soviet Economy to its knees. Ours will follow if you don't abolish a broken tax system that does not work. As for foreign policy, Bush is a joke. His invade first, ask questions later has America looking like fools to the rest of the world. He is an embarrasment to America. We can do better if you run General Clark.

General Clark, please understand, we, the American people desperately need a President we can believe in. It's been a very long time since that has happened. I know it's a tremendous undertaking for you and your family, but the fact is you are what this country needs. You just have to accept the fact your personhood shines so much brighter than anyone else that is running...and you subsequently have a responsibility to rise to the occasion. I know that may sound harsh, but these are desperate times! I have never done this before, that is to get involved with the drafting of a presidential candidate. But if a relatively conservative middle aged RN (me) is inspired to respond to the call to draft you to run for President, I think you can be assured it is an indicator your potential campaign has tremendous energy. At the risk of sounding too dramatic...there is something electric happening at a grass roots level...kind of a Teddy Roosevelt phenomenon. It's what our country is supposed to be about. Don't give up on this possibility. You are the man for the job. I said this to my husband about a year ago when I saw you commenting on Afghanistan. That same night my Dad (a decorated WWII vet-Ranger) called me and told me about you, I told him I already figured it out. I have been talking you up at work and telling others about who you are. I know it's not likely you'll ever read this, it will be just a part of some polling apparatus. But of you happen to read it, know I will join your campaign here in Atlanta. In fact there's a call up meeting to draft you at Bailey's Pub 9/8/03-just 5 minutes from my home. We're not an overly political family, but we'll be there. America needs you. You can do it!

Gen. Clark: If you ran, I'd support you. I'm presently for Dean. But strategically, I think you'd be more competitive. The Esquire piece said that to defeat Bush, you must declare war on him. I agree. He was a weak president to start with. He has gained strength only through the tragedy of 9/11 and the resulting cascade of fear. But he has never been challenged. I believe if you decide to run, you will do so for the right reasons. And you will wage a good fight. But you must decide soon. It will take a little time for people to get comfortable with someone who is committed to holding Bush accountable. But that is the only path to victory.

In Defense of Liberalism Liberalism can be defined as a philosophy advocating personal freedom and social progress. In the US today liberals are chastised as Un-American. Economic liberalism is the complete absence of regulations on business. This type of Laissez fare capitalism leads to the concentration of political, social, and economic power into the hands of the very rich, witch would be fine if their were no such thing as evil. Liberalism reached its heyday in the 1940’s and 50’s as a reaction to the excesses of the robber baron capitalists. Today we have swung to the conservative agenda. Deregulation is the mantra for fixing everything. Deregulating the energy industry will lead to lower prices and more reliable service. Tell that to the Californians. Deregulating the Airlines was supposed to do the same for that industry, but has only let to corporate welfare with large government subsidies handed out to keep the companies afloat, while ignoring the plight of poor citizens. American politics is completely in the hands of two parties that are nothing more than whores for their corporate pimps. How else could corporate welfare be justified and personal welfare scorned? Bush and his conservative hawks have led us to the invasion of another country on the basis of “hyped” intelligence. Our credibility around the world has been deeply eroded and our economy is in shambles. If you are sick of political doubletalk and a country being run by a halfwit conservative, go to draftwesleyclark.com and urge the formal general to run. He is the only Democratic candidate that can possibly unseat Bush and return this country to a more reasonable course. Alan Goldstein General Clark I am sending this letter to newspapers in favor of your candicy.

Dear General Wesley Clark: I would like to encourage you to enter the political arena and take on George W. Bush in the upcoming election. It is my belief that he is doing great damage to our country and should be removed from office. I also believe that to do so will require the presence of a security minded individual that the American people can believe in. Please, enter the race as either a Presidential candidate or as the VP for a serious Democratic candidate. We need you.

America does not need a new president. George Bush is a great leader and you don't even come close to his abilities. It boggles my mind how you ever reached the rank of General. For someone who claims to be better than any other candidate out there you sure don't act like it. The fact that you sat there on national TV and said that this nation was foundedona progressive tax system lets me know that you can't be trusted with our future. Take you rhetoric from "The Communist Manifesto" and move to Cuba where it is accepted. General Clark, America DOESN'T need you. Please DON'T run for president. Please go away and retire ike a good general.

Rumors on CNN say that Dean is looking to you as a potential Vice President. Don't do that General, we need a military moderate for President. Dean's motivation is impressive but he has lacked the substance that you bring in all interviews I've witnessed. This ticket with you as VP will lose many votes from independent and swing voters with Dean as President. Look at all of the people, look closely at the Republicans, who are voicing their support in this draft. These people are supporting you as President with the exception of a select few. There's a reason for that General. As a centrist Democrat voter from Ohio I can objectively state that VP with Dean is not strategically sound politically. I'm not an expert but I have been paying close attention to both sides. Clark/Dean may be a winner but YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE FOREFRONT. YOU'RE THE LEADER BOTH SIDES AND THE MIDDLE ARE LOOKING FOR.

America needs a president that has a strong background in foreign affairs and is capable to lead America's armed forces. Americans want to know that their president can sit in the Situation Room for the first time and have a commanding understanding of the conditions and circumstances that face him. They want to know that their president is able to make the tough decisions in such an instance as 911. Additionally, the background that you would bring from your educational experience at Oxford as well as your time spent as an investment banker will help our country get back on track economically.

I am a progressive democrat, which to me means sustainable economics, caring for each other and the earth, working for peace, etc. In order to have a basis from which to grow into a long term sustainable world view, we must have a democracy first. And we don't. If Bush wins the next election, we will veer even closer to a tipping point from whcih we probably won't recover. Unfortunately, none of the current Democratic candidates can carry the country. My opinion is based on extensive interviewing of disenfranchised Republicans, here in San Diego. What we need is a solid, sophisticated, non-defensive, intelligent, centrist candidate who has an impeccable record and who is committed to preserve, protect and further our democracy. I think you are the person who can do this. Please add my voice to the millions of US citizens, their children and grandchildren who are urging you to run. Should you decide to run, I will do my part.

General Clark, Our country needs a leader of whom we can be proud, not only for his or her recent accomplishments, but also for his or her life-long actions. Your personal history is most impressive; your conduct on national media (Meet the Press, etc.) convinced me that this country does have a viable alternative for the 2004 election. Please consider the following: We need a president who..... -recognizes the impact of the assault on individual rights which the current administration has conducted under the guise of patriotism. -understands that we are a member of the world community and have obligations, as well as rights, as a member, and who will rebuild damaged relationships. -understands and accepts that protection of the environment is in the interest of every country. -will represent our country with dignity, knowledge, intelligence, and honor. I have read your positions on taxation, education, women's issues, gun control, education etc. and am very comfortable with them. Your leadership with the military, with NATO, and as a Rhodes scholar are strong recommendations of your abilities. Finally, we need a leader to whom my 7 year old grandson (and other young people) can look up to as a role model, a person of integrity, intelligence, compassion, and moral strength. Please consider running for the office of President of the United States. We need your leadership. Sincerely, Adele S. Daily

We've got to wake up and take our country back from these immoral, incompetent, crony capitalists typified by the likes of Tom DeLay, Karl Rove, W, Cheney, etc.... As polls have recently indicated, you may be our best chance. General Clark please run.

What we need is proven leadership not the weasely, self-serving (to big business), hypocritical cheerleader-in chief we have now. The contribute-first, it-will-profit-you-later selling out of the nation's patrimony must stop before the Bushites make us an oligarchy. The current mis-administratiuon inherited a healthy surplus only to prove their domestic and war policies could bankrupt the country in three short years. That accomplishment is unequalled in American history. To top that, they squandered world goodwill from 9/11 in record time. They will resort to ANY lengths, as they already have to be"re-elected". We must use one of their tools against them-REPETITION. How 'bout this as a theme. The only true thing about this Republican Regime is that they are true believers. It doesn't bother them to invent intelligence, doctor statistics or make up news. They have failed the country economically. They have failed to correct the abuses (their own) at the polls Their focus on power, money and military might is their be-all and end-all. The best that can be said of them is that THEY ARE WRONG and leading the nation away from its foundation. (I will send this same letter to a like-minded leader-Howard Dean). Re: leadershipship...the only example of "W"s success, if it can be called that after his early oil business fiascos, was his using his father's political connections to filch Texas Stadium from the city of Fort Worth and stick the taxpayers with the bill. Isn't that the Iraq strategy: avail such as The Carlyle Group access to Iraqi oil and have the U.S. taxpayer's pay the bill.

Dear General Clark, My husband and I were so happy the first time we heard that you might be running for president. We've always been impressed by your intelligence and your grasp of an issue, no matter what was being discussed. One tends to think that a military person is an expert on military issues only, but you certainly break that stereotype. You have sound ideas on all issues, and we are thoroughly impressed by you and encouraged to think someone of your caliber might be willing to serve our country in the most important position in this land. You could bring so many wonderful qualities to the presidiency, and for the first time in a very long time we are excited about having someone we can support heart and soul for the office of President of the United States. We believe in you, and we are hoping and praying that you will choose to serve your country with all the gifts God gave you for the benefit of America and the world. You are an inspiration with your calm demeanor and command of the issues. You make us have faith in this country again. We know running for president can be difficult on family, friends, and colleagues, and we respect you for seriously considering them before you make your final decision. We can only hope that they want for you and this country what we want, a president we can all be proud of for doing what's right for this country and the world. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Sincerely, Daphne and James Hemmings

Mr. Clark and the crew at draftwesleyclark.com By all means run, although I think the're are many avantages to running as an independant. It would certainly be one way of neutralizing the campaign funds disparity. You can enter the race whenever you want and let your opponents batter and outspend each other. As a tactician of some reknown I would think this would appeal to you. I wonder though how hip you are to the net and its possibilities. My guess is that most of the people around you are unaware of some of the political functions that have been nurtered there. I've been researching the social/politial aspect of the net since being frustrated at the lack of commercial media coverage post 911. In short theres a whole world out there you are trying to tune in on, ergo this site. I might be willing to share my research, contact me if you are interested. I'd like to include this exerpt from a favorite writer, Greg Palast concerning the current ability of parties to manipulate the vote, one of the many things you will have to plan for. Best wishes, Jim Sofra Mpid "This story of stolen elections -- the last one, the next one -- is not about computers, database management or voting machinery. If the theft of U.S. elections can be prevented by fixing our voting methods and equipment, we could solve our problems by the means suggested by the Russian Duma. The Russians voted a resolution demanding that American presidential elections, like Haiti’s and Rwanda’s, should be held under the auspices of the United Nations. The solution to democracy’s ills cannot be found in computer fixes or in banning butterfiy ballots. All that stuff about technology and procedure is vanishingly peripheral to this fact: In 2000, the man who lost the vote grabbed the power. I reported these stories from Europe, where simple minds think that the appropriate response to the discovery that the wrong man took office would be to remove him from that office. So where do we turn? The Democrats’ employing William (son of Boss) Daley as their spokesman during the Florida vote count, and Al Gore’s despicably gracious concession speech, show that both political parties share, though in different measure, a contempt for the electorate’s will."

Dear General Clark, We saw you on Bob Schiefer's program this morning (Sunday, 8/24/03) and my wife and I are deeply impressed with you. I also checked out your Web site and I do know about your positions.* Very simply put: you absolutely come across as someone we Democrats can trust and you will absolutely win any primary and the election against George Bush. Please, Sir: Run! You will be backed by a huge number of people who feel as we do, I'm confident. We desparately need your leadership. No other democratic candidate can possibly pull this off! Sincerely, David and Mona White *Exception: "The states should decide about gun control." We and you know this is fudging the issue. But if this is what it takes to win the election, OK.

To tell you the truth, General Clark, you running for President would be the absolute best thing for this great country. I fear that Mr. Bush just wants to try to follow in Napolean's foot steps. In the upcoming spring I will be leaving for the Marines and I just wouldn't want to fight for Bush's crusade because he comes across as a lying sack of you know what. However, someone of your stature I would be the first one to go because you're smart, respectable, and honest. You have my family's and my unwavering support if you decide to run. We don't have enough money to make a contribution but someone like yourself I doubt would care about money. So please do what's 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. Please run for president.

General Clark, I believe our nation is headed in the wrong direction. The current President is failing on economic, foreign policy, and domestic issues. President Bush's neo-conservative ideology is "out of touch" with most his fellow Americans. We need a President that will bring credibility back to our great nation. Someone who will work with the freedom loving nations of the world to help shoulder the burden of the war on terrorism from our over stretched military. The president should understand the wants and needs of the entire nation, not just the right wing. Our President should be trying to solve the problem of debt, not ignoring debt as the CEO of Enron did. Watching your commentary over the last few months, I've come to the conclusion that you have the credentials to lead the Democratic Party, Independents, and the rest of the nation as the next President of the United States. Sincerely, Bill Ivanich

General Clark, America needs a new president. I don't want supreme court to decide the outcome of 2004 elections and only you can avoid that from happening. After listening to you on the TV, I am convinced that only you can pull America out of the economic slump. Your expertise on world affairs will bring the world together with America as a leader again. You have my VOTE!

Please run for President. We need someone who will place the interests of Americans first. Not Israeli Settlers. Not multi-national corporations. If we need to warn the Arabs that an invasion of Israel will be their demise-- so be it. If we need to send the Isralis home, or lose billions-- so be it. This "Settler Issue" IS GROUND ZERO. Please run for President and take on this issue.... Sincerely Kenneth Burke (aka... draft_wesley_clark on yahoo message boards)

General Clark, America doesn't just need a new president. We need you. The current president has lied through his teeth and duped the US treasury out of billions for personal gain--to avenge his father's defeat and to finance his reelection campaign. His war in Iraq is simply "wagging the dog." He campaigned on compassion and delivered extremism. His communication strategy is "say it enough times and they'll believe it" even though his actions belie his statements. He abandoned the war on terrorism before it was finished, and now the Taliban are doing more and more damage in Afghanistan. He alienated all our allies with his ludicrous Iraq policy and may cost our biggest ally, Tony Blair, his job. By slashing taxes when we could ill afford it and spending billions every month we don't have and won't have while he's in office, he is bankrupting the government. That may be one way to have smaller government, but look at the price. I'm concerned that our stature in the world, our safety and our economy may never recover from the damage Bush has inflicted. I am a centrist. Progressive on social issues but fiscally disciplined, tough on crime and favoring a strong military. Like most, I'm tired of having to choose between my social and other beliefs as a result of the radical partisan split between the Democrats and the Republicans. President Clinton pretty much had the balance right. No one out there now campaigning does. Many ordinary Americans don't seem to understand that Bush is only for people in his own extremely wealthy economic circumstances. Until he's gone we won't be safe flying because he doesn't fly commercial, we won't have a workable energy policy because Texas has oil and it's own power grid, jobs won't created because he and his family don't need them, and he'll continue to invite terrorists to "bring it on" to the troops in Iraq because his family is safe in the US. We'll never collect Social Security because he doesn't need it. As best as I can see from your statements and what I've read, you are the only one contemplating a run for the White House with any sense of what the people of this country are about and what we want in a leader. You have credibility, strength and rationality. Please run, and count on my support. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I am scared but your willingness to enter the political scene gives me hope and a renewed sense of energy and faith in the American way. Our country,America, needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. You have proven yourself capable of dealing with world leaders in a win win manner. Hurry before more damage needs to take place. It is rare that I hear someone saying exactly what I would say. You have the intellect, the experience, and the passion to help, not just us here in America but the countless friends in the world, put our country's position as leader of the free world in a positive and humane direction. Please, General Clark, Uncle Sam needs you even more at this time. Please run for President. Mahalo and Aloha!

You are on the eve of announcing your run for U.S. presidency. As a military strategist, a wise and prudent tactic is to run as a republican and challenge President Bush. Believe it or not, there are republicans who one Bush defeated, because of the disastrous foreign and domestic policies. The democratic field is cluster with to many themes. Running as a republican, you will have stronger competition in President Bush, but you will not be label or over shadow in the democratic field. Your profile will increase tenfold as a republican, because the media love a good fight. I have not heard of any polls on this theory, however, you will make a good president. The country cannot afford to have Bush as president another four years.

If you really believe in what this country stands for and are as sick as I am of the way our institutions and principles have been corrupted and perverted by a group of people who have no regard for our republican form of government, declare your candidacy for President. This country needs a leader who will bring moral authority to the office of President. We deserve a leader who knows the meaning of sacrifice. We are entitled to firm, focused, progressive leadership and you are the only person capable of providing that kind of leadership.

Dear General Clark, I am a Democrat, but feel that the current list of candidates are not people that I am comfortable voting for, although any would be better than our current president. I am by no means a left wing supporter and I think we need a 'moderate' democrat who has the ability to be an incredible leader and rally all politicians to the cause of the American people. This person has to balance the interests of the common man and woman with the interests of the American business, our foreign counterparts, as well as the environment without catering to big business interests and left wing associations. I believe that you, sir, are this candidate and you have both my and my wife's support and votes should you decide to run for the American presidency. As a former Army reservist, college graduate, and manufacturing professional with an Aerospace/Defense company, I am very troubled with the state of our country. Our unilateral arrogance and poor foreign policy have isolated us from the rest of the world and fueled more hatred for America. I am also very disturbed by the rate at which both white and blue collar jobs are being shed by both the manufacturing and service industries in favor of low cost labor. We are not playing on a level field in regard to trade with other countries. I strongly believe in the American work ethic and ingenuity and that American companies can remain profitable and competitive without outsourcing to low cost countries. We are only going to be as strong as our labor market and need to maintain our high standard of living in order to remain a super power. We need to reward American companies that keep jobs domestically and create hardships for those that do not. I believe in capitalism, but too often greed and the 'bottom line' forces companies here to shut their doors. This problem needs to be rectified, soon. There are many issues, but with your education and experience, I definitely think you are the man to tackle them in a no nonsense manner. Best of luck and I hope to hear soon that you will become a candidate for the President of the United States. Regards, Matthew Lytle Grand Rapids, MI

As a parent, grandparent and a retired police officer, I feel that you would surround yourself with competent, qualified Americans who would be dedicated to finding solutions to our domestic needs. When the war started I first saw you with Arron Brown on CNN. Your professiolism and compassion you showed during that week kept me informed in plain talk what was going on. I think you have been taught by your parents to be courteous but firm in your beliefs and concerns for America and it's needs. I also think your concern for our troops and other coalition forces shows how sincere you are for all Americans and for the international community. I hope you choose to run because I truly believe you can win. If the American people know someone cares about them and their loved ones serving in the military and has the experience and expertise you have developed through your military career and life experiences, I think your grass roots support will soar, including Democrats and Republicans. The American people need you to lead and protect our great country. General Clark, there is a phrase `Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country`and I and my family believe that you , as President of the United States would give people the hope that `someone cares`.....

*I thought your Aug. 24 interview on Face the Nation was great, especially what you said about Iraq being not just a military problem, but a political problem. Our present military approach to Iraq with killing and terrorizing civilians is simply creating more anti-American feeling and leading to more terrorism. *I think the United Nations should be involved and THE UN SHOULD HAVE A MAJOR ROLE IN POLICY-MAKING. We went into Iraq without UN support, made some big mistakes, and we are now suffering from our mistakes. Why should UN members send troops to serve under our inept leadership? * I also think the Bush tax cuts were a mistake. I don't think they will stimulate our economy, and I think our ballooning deficits are a disaster. 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. *We need your military and international expertise, and your business background is also a major stength. IF BUSH IS RE-ELECTED IT WILL BE A DISASTER FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF THE PRESENT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES CAN DEFEAT HIM.

I was an early Dean supporter and contributor, but after hearing about you and researching your candidacy, I'm with you 100% and ready to contribute as well as work as a volunteer! Don't be put off by the polls and name recognition issues now. Your message will resonate, and your stature and experience give you unique credibility. I was at a dinner party with 9 other Democrats last night and we started talking about the election. Everyone expressed dismay at the choices before them, and expressed tepid support for Dean or Kerry. I told them about your candidacy and your position and background. . .They were unanimously excited about your candidacy. Once you announce, I'm sure the party WILL coalesce around you. You are the hope to get this nation turned away from this unilateralist cowboy foreign policy and this enrich-the-wealthy domestic policy. . . Please, please run! And I will promise to work hard for you in California, where I believe you would win in a landslide. Heck, I'd even travel to New Hampshire to help get the campaign kick-started. General Clark, America needs you. Four more years of Bush will be a disaster. . Your presidency would put America back on track! Please run for president.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. We need a president who is not controlled by the military industrial complex or corporate America. We need a president who is sincere and has the motivation to create new jobs. I've been unemployed for almost a year and am trying to keep a family of four functioning. Although I have 20 years experience in Information Technology and am working on a Master's degree, I can't seem to get hired. I'd like to see corporations taxed heavily when they go to other countries for cheap labor. We don't need more H-1 visas either. We also need a healthcare system like most of the western world where all people receive care with or without insurance. We can take the insurance companies out of the mix and the costs will fall. Please take a look at the salaries of CEOs. They receive 25,000,000 per year and more while alsmost half of the people can't afford coverage.

Dear General Wesley Clark, Several years ago my wife, Marie, and I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with you at a dinner party at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia hosted by Arlen and Joan Specter in support of the new Constitution Center. Based on your comments and our ensuing discussion I recall saying to Marie upon our departure from that event: "Why in this country can't we find a person of such qualifications to run for and serve as President of the United States?" To the best of my recollection the timing was shortly after the Supreme Court of the United States had determined by fiat that George W. Bush was to serve as President and prior to the events of 9/11. At that time the occassion for change in office was not present and the need was not so compelling as it is today. It is or belief that you are not only the best qualified of all the potential candidates to serve as President but also the most electable in a general national election. The combination of your outstanding educational background, your record of major success in all of the military and quasi-foreigh policy roles you have undertaken, your extensive knowledge and experience in military and foreign policy matters, and the practical political fact that you come from the South make you the most formidable opponent to the existing President. The nation cannot endure a second term of the present administration. We need your leadership to effect change in our existing foreign and domestic priorities and fulfillments. We pledge to you that if you will declare your candidacy, we will do all that we can in support thereof, including participation in fund raising. We are already maxed out with personal pledges to that effect. In hope that you as a good soldier will heed the urgent call of duty to run for President, we look forward to joining you on the battlefield in whatever capacity will best serve you and the nation as a whole. For your information we are old and close friends and long term active political supporters of Arlen Specter. I have been a lifetime registered Republican, but I recognize that there is an overriding need to cast aside party labels in the interest of supporting sensible leadership with rational policies for the future of the nation. Sincerely, Joe and Marie Field

This morning I was talking to a friend - a 65-year old woman, married, 2 kids, grandchildren. She asked me if I had watched any of the Sunday news shows. She then proceeded to tell me that you are her candidate of choice. She is not a political activist, just a concerned citizen who follows public affairs and loves her country.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. I'm tired of living in Bush's America, where fear is the norm and we have to pay the government protection money. 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, My wife Scotia and I have both become numbed by the social, economic and environmental horrors unleashed by Mr. Bush and his brain dead brain-trust. The Democrats offer no alternative because of their hopeless tone-deafness with regard to the proper, appropriate use of military power. We are both true Goldwater Conservatives/ Scoop Jackson Democrats who believe that environmental sensitivity, social compassion and at least an attempt to reduce these crippling deficits are essential to the future health of this country. The media has convinced most Americans that we are either Liberals or Conservatives when, in fact, 65-75% of us are moderates. General Clark, please run and attempt to restore sanity to the political process. We have become a nation that plans for the future on an ad-hoc month by month basis. We are counting on you. ---Sincerely, Gregory and Scotia Fey, Delray Beach, Fl.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. The latest polls show a majority of Americans would prefer that George Bush not be re-elected. With your experience in Bosnia, you are the only potential candidate that can put together a co-operative effort to solve the problems in Iraq. General Clark, America needs you.

Dear General Clark: I am a citizen of Germany, married to an American, living in Boston, MA, and working in the administration of Harvard University. I feel American, but am not yet naturalized. I was very troubled and pained over the recent disruptions between the United States and Germany regarding the Iraq war. I always was very grateful for your considerate and diplomatic comments in the media, even though nobody else would even want to pronounce the names of those countries of so-called "Old Europe." I strongly feel that you are an upright man, who, once he gives his word will devote his whole life to the cause he finds just and worthy. The presidency of the United States, the most powerful nation in the world, is a cause that desperately needs your expertise, your help, your concern, and your wisdom as commander-in-chief, as well as the premier diplomat, and leader in all domestic matters. Naturally, running for president is an important decision, and I don't know about your own personal visions for the future, but if you would decide to run, it would be like a light at the end of this very dark tunnel, we all live in right now. General Clark, the people of America, and the nations of the world, need you. Please run for president. P.S.: My husband, who is a voter, promised to vote for you -- and I will make sure he keeps this promise!

Mr. Clark, I believe you to be a pariotic man who, more importantly has demonstrated the ideals in your life that in America patriotism is a call to a greater service to humanity, rather than a veneer to attack foes under and an excuse to put one above criticism. It is this quality that is so sorely lacking in our present leadership, and so i urge you to become a candidate for the Democratic nomination. We need a President, not a profiteer-in-chief, and you offer America a winning alternative to mortgaging our future. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

CLARK/DEAN THE WINNING TICKET Please Choose General Clark as your running mate, or be his should he win the nomination. As a military man he has a lot of knowledge in international politics and foreign relations. As the governor of Vermont and a physician you have great credentials in domestic issues, especially healthcare and the balanced budget. I, personally, agree with you on the war in Iraq as well and the longer the Bush team blunders and the more their lies are exposed, the more the American people will agree. However, the press keeps hammering at how the Dems have no credibility w/ National Defense and a lot of people out there are swallowing it. With Clark on the ticket they'll have nothing to say. PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE LIBERMAN!!! Or Kerry for that matter. Gephardt is a good choice. I would love to see Sharpton on the ticket but we all know that will never fly. Nonetheless, it is good to have him in the debate, for he speaks the unadulterated truth, pulls no punches and is funny as hell! Anyway, God Bless You! Stay healthy. See you Tuesday in Chicago Sincerely, Dean Scarpinato

I have heard many stories of days gone by when American's used to be inspired by their leaders, but I've never experienced that in this age of extreme cynicism and polarizing politics, and God willing, I will some day. My hope is that inspiration will come from you. Everything I have read and heard about you has inspired me. The country needs you, Democrats/Independents need you, and most of all I need you. All I want is to be inspired and lead and my heart tells me you are the man to do that. Please run. Either way, you have earned my respect General Clark. Thanks, Rob Rardin

A president who will work to make America great again - to heal our friendships with other nations, revive our economy, and help those who need help. This morning (on Face the Nation) you said you would announce your decision in a week. Please, please, run for president. You may be the only person who can actually beat George W. Bush, and we desperately need him out of the Whitehouse if our country is to survive. I know you are "retired" now, but I believe you still have a duty to your country. You may be our only hope, and to not run would be to turn your back on America. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I have never been more concerned about the direction of our country. Our current president seems to have no connection with the people he governs. He seems to have no understanding of the complex mosaic of issues and how they relate to each other. Jobs, energy, environment, SPENDING leading to massive deficits, on and on. His vision to leave no child behind is leaving more children behind than ever (local govenrments have less money than ever and are cutting education programs). Please help relieve us of this "compassionate conservativism". Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Bush are an incredible danger to our country. You are the only candidate I admire. You are the only candidate with the leadership. You are the only candidate I could follow. Please consider running for president. Our world cannot take another 4 years of this administration.

You are the one Democrat able to capture crucial swing votes necessary to have a chance to beat the current officeholder whose name I will not mention because I cannot keep myself from attaching a few curse words to it.

Dear General Clark, I cannot begin to tell you how afraid I am of the direction of this country. Bush, Rumsfield's arrogance is appalling. Placing enourmous burdens on our military, putting them in ridiculous and untenable situations. The world is different now, after 9-11 that is true. But our allies still the same. We had them willing to help us after 9-11 and now where are they? Bushes chest beating, "bring them on" "freedom fries", the list goes on , is seen as childish and dangerous. They are waiting to find ears that hear and a mind that is open and not religiously impared. They and the american people are waiting for a man who can rise to the crisis, capable of seeing the big picture, who can hold out a hand to the rest of the world and not threats of a bully backed up by missles. We surely need the missles, thank God we have them. But we must use them judiciously. The US and this current adminstration have not done that. The current adminstration is a alone in this effort despite what they say about allies willing to send troups. The military alone cannot do what is needed in Iraq. Frankly, the death of the UN adviser(I cannot remember his name right now) is the fault of the Bush administration. His blood is on their hands. Annan in his grief, alluded to that. Those UN people in Iraq, doing an incredible job, needed protection. We are spread too thin. And Rumsfield and Wolfowitz are too arrogant to admit they were ill advised. They never, they are true belivers of themselves despite the evidence that appears constantly day after day. Frankly, they are blind. When is this nightmare going to end? It will end when a strong Democratic ticket can sweep away what has gone before, pull together with the United Nations, share the responsibilty of Iraq with our allies. YOU, SIR, CAN DO THIS 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.

Since our current president has been in office, he has consistently put forth policies that roll back all the advances this country has made toward protecting the environment; has appointed judges that are far, far to the right of the American public; appointed an Attorney General who appears totally inept in his job; has given tax cuts to millionairs instead of to the people who would spend the money ( which would in turn help the economy) because they need it to survive; etc. etc. We need a president who will repair our damaged relations with the rest of the world, and who knows what it means to have a strong military from his own experience. After reading your biography and thoughts on the issues, I strongly endorse you as a candidate. If you do declare, I will support you with as much financial aid as I can afford, which I have to admit is not overwhelming, but I will work to make your presidency happen. You can count on me. Sincerely, Peggy R. Prichett

Dear General Clark, As our great nation becomes more involved each day around the world, it is a must we have a leader with military and foreign policy experience. We need a leader who can guide this nation into economic recovery. Too many people are out of work and have been for too long. We need a leader who understands and supports solid education for our young people and one who cares about the needs of our elderly. I respectfully ask that you run for President. You certainly have my vote. Best wishes!

Dear General Clark, I have written to you before to urge you to run for President. I continue to believe YOU SHOULD BE THE PRESIDENT, that's right the President, NOT THE VICE PRESIDENT. I am concerned about those who believe or urge you to run with one of the declared Democratic candidates. This is a mistake! Someone like you should not even consider 2nd chair. Also, I believe it is a mistake for you to join forces with any of the candidates whose ideas are too far to the left that your alliance with them would prevent you from being elected. I don't know who your current advisors are, but please don't let anyone convince you that Clark/Dean is a smart move. It's sure to alienate any of the more conservative and moderate voters who consider you their candidate. I AM A REPUBLICAN and will vote for you no matter what, but there are plenty of other Republicans ready to jump ship and vote for you so long as your running mate is not too liberal.

General Clark, you have served America so well your whole life. Please do all you can now to save us from the current administration. Please run for president. You will definitely have my vote.

I was also impressed later with the way you handled the SACEUR job. I believe you would be a better president than any of the current candidates--to include the guy who has the job! This country needs to replace King George. If you decide to run, there will be a lot of us out here who will support you in that effort. John Van Zant Col (Ret), Armor

We need someone who is intelligent and who can speak directly to the working people and not someone who thinks we are stupid and ill informed as Mr. B thinks we are. And you are not bad on the eyes either. Brains and looks go for it!!! God knows we need both. 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 get into this fight any place you can and show Bush and those behind him for profiteering warmongers they are. Help us get our future back and with it the well being of all peoples on the planet. We have to force Isreal to settle its differences w/ Palestine and give up their pursuit of Arab land which is holding the entire world in a strangle hold of death and destruction. Please help us.

General Clarke, i saw you on crossfire over the summer. It would be the biggest waste of talent if you didnt run for president. You make all the hypocritic republicans look so small when you face them in conversation. You can beat Bush. He is ruining our country with the patriot act and the clear skies act. He is lying to the public. I could be on a black list somewhere because the patriot act allows the government to spy on me right now to see what i wrote to you. Bush changes intellegence reports and EPA reports. He manupulated the public to go to war. Young boys only a little bit older than me are dead because of the Bush Administration. I know you already know this, but you need to know that so many Americans like me are terrified of what Bush is doing to this country. You have to run for President. You will beat him and end all this madness.

Gen. Clark, First and foremost, thank you for your service to your country and countrymen. A grateful nation thanks you. I am but a simple citizen. Your lifelong acheivements and accomplishments have earned you the due respect, admiration, and gratitude of our nation's citizens; most especially from this one citizen and his family. We could ask no more of any great American. Your legacy is secure as hero and icon of selfless service, and your commitment to duty unquestioned. Yet respectfully sir, I and many other like-minded and concerned Americans beseech you to once again serve your country as a leader of people and great purpose. Our nation needs bold and vigorous leadership like no other time in our history. It's people are desperate for a leader. A true leader of experience, intelligence, wisdom, grasp, and gravitas that others would surely follow. A leader that is honest, insightful, and articulate. A leader that knows the meaning of sacrifice and duty. A leader that has sworn to protect, defend, and uphold the Constitution of the United States. A leader that dedicated men and women in uniform have unwaveringly followed into combat to defend our nation, protect liberty, and cherish peace. A leader. You sir, are a leader. A leader this nation and its citizens need. A leader we need now. Desperately. Unquestionably. Immediately. Again sir, I say to you that I am but a humble, ordinary citizen. I deem myself a patriot; I love my country and the values of liberty and freedom that it cherishes so. I believe that there is no higher purpose or calling for anyone within our mortal realm than in selfless service to country and mankind. I know that you are both patriot and leader of extraordinary measure. We need extraordinary men to lead. And while true that your countrymen can rightly ask no more of you, our need exceeds our thanks. Gen. Clark - most respectfully I ask of you, and your family; please heed the call and ponder it well. Let the American people have a true leader to choose. A man of integrity, impeccable character, intellegence, and wisdom the likes of which our nation has not had the option to choose to lead in many decades. You sir, are that leader. Lead once again. Patriots will follow. Duty calls us all.

Gen. Clark: Like so many other Americans I have been paying close attention to the political atmosphere that has enveloped our country, especially after the vicious attacks on 9/11. Our current Commander in Chief falls far short of the task that has fallen upon our country and America is in dire need of a leader with, not only vision but, experience in matters outside the realm of the contiguous United States. I believe you to be that man. I watched you during the invasion of Iraq, on CNN, and was first impressed with your objectivity and knowledge. I have been watching you closely since then and want to express my strong desire for you to throw your hat into the ring of Presidential candidates - so to speak. I am a Marine and the son of a Marine. I am a decorated veteran, although not on the same level as yourself, and also served in Vietnam. My father and I served simultaneous tours with 1/9 - just south of the DMZ - in '69 and '70. I realize the value and 'hands on' skill of a soldier in times of strife. If you would do our country the honor of answering it's call, one more time in your career, I would be happy to assist you and your campaign in any way I could. Sincerely, Frank D. Miller

Dear Honorable Gen. Clark, I am a 25 year old who pleads with you with more reverence than a son would to his own father. This nation, a testament to the most noble struggle of the human spirit, and the gretest achievement born of human struggle lies in the hands of a modern day Nero. What Nero was to Rome this man Bush will be to this nation and this world. Sir, the founding fathers and the constitution envisioned that the plight of freedom would touch the deepest recess of great courageous souls who would bear the burden and rise to the challenge of preserving freedom for all mankind, and today there is no other person more capable and indeed more worthy to be the leader of 6 billion members of the human race. We stand on the brink of unparelleled achievements in all fields of human understanding, achievements that can end human misery, disease, and poverty for all time. We also stand on the brink of a global nuclear World War. Extremist religious nationalists are gaining political power around the globe from right here in the US, the entire Middle East, and most of South East Asia at a rate not seen since before WW2. The burden of freedom on one shoulder, the course of the human race on another shoulder, and the noose of history is tied to every leader. Only great men such as yourself can bear those burdens and not be suffocated by that noose. Since the death of President Kennedy, mediocre, spiritless, unimaginative, men have trampled on and crushed the spirit of this nation. Yet once again grace has bestowed upon this great nation an even greater leader who can charter a worthy course towards the dawn of a new hope and new beginning for all mankind. Sir a citizen has every right not only to ask but to demand from a leader. So I, as an American, as a human being, and as a citizen demand humbly, and beg with honor for my future, for your children's future, and for the future of every man, woman, and child who has no voice but has hope in this great nation that you run for the highest and most noble office, the crown jewel of human achievement, the Presidency of the United States of America. Go and fight the toughest battle of your entire life and win it for the sake of a better future for every child. A man of your capacity cannot back down and stay silent at any cost sir. You have made me believe on greatness of political leadership again and I want to thank you for it, hopefully one day I will get to thank you in person. May god bless you, your family, and your victory. a proud supporter, Jay Patel

General, please, don't hesitate for another minute. I, along with others, are beginning to feel embarrassed of being Americans - as represented to the world by our current president. Though other Democratic candidates have notable qualities, in my estimation you are the only one that can unseat the man who now rules. In fact, I relish the thought of a debate with you and that man. Though I don't have a lot of money, at present (tough economy), I promise to donate what I can towards your cause, should you decide to run. But, I ask again, don't delay too long. There are many of us out here who are despairing that should this president be granted another four years, by the time he leaves, there will be little left of this country that is good. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

I was impressed by the significant percentage of Republicans who would consider jumping the fence in the (granted, less than scientific) poll on CNN's Crossfire Friday -- as well as a whopping 88% of Democrat audience members. The thinking Republicans are embarrassed by Bush's lies, his ineptitude. Governor Dean has a serious uphill climb to inspire centrist Democrats to make the trek to the polls. And it's a fascinating notion that the U.S. military could promote a leader with such broad appeal on both security and progressive issues. Then again, the U.S. military has come a long way, to become an organization that promotes a broad diversity of Americans. I think we all agree that this country is at a pivotal point in its history. Partisan gameplaying is paralyzing efforts to go forward. We need a uniter, not a divider, in the executive office. I sincerely hope you decide to run. I believe you can win. You can count on my vote, and whatever help I can give.

Sir, I'm impressed. I'm tired of my voting choices being between the far left and the far right. I am lucky enough to live in MN, where we had third-party Jesse Ventura for Governor for one term. But other than that, my choices are limited. Whether you choose to run as a Democrat, a Republican, or Independent, you reasonable stance on the issues guarantees you my vote, my wife's vote, my Dad's vote, and my neighbor's vote. I haven't asked other people yet, but four votes is a start. Please strongly consider running for President.

You could be America's best hope. The European banks are planning to dump the US Dollar and consider it worthless. The Saudi's are converting to the Euro which is backed by gold. When the US Dollar is devalued because of our National debt, and since our dollar is "fiat" (backed by nothing), we are going to see Civil unrest in this country like never before. The Banking familes are planning to put the screws to us in the US. We need you to abolish the private Federal Reserve Banking system and return our nation to lawful money. You need to follow John F. Kennedy who promised to abolish he evil FED. you must do this immediately after being elected, or our Nation is deep trouble. Europe and their gold backed euro will demote us to a third world debtor nation. You must stop this banking fraud on the American people now and give us back LAWFUL currency. Our founding father warned us in the Constitution not to turn over the power to create money to anyone buy Congress. President Wilson betrayed the American people when he signed the Federal Reserve Act and hus made all of us Economic Slaves to he Central bank and their phony Social Security Insurance scam. As a Rhodes scholar, you have been taught about this in England. You know that our labor, and our childrens labor are owned by the bankers when they issue a social security (slave) number to us. We are nothing more than Chattel. Like cows in the field. Needing a license and permission to marry and to drive. Not free. You can follow in the footsteps of John F. Kennedy and finish his wishes by abolishing the non-government, non-American Federal Reserve Banking Cartel and their evil fractional reserve banking scam. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

You maintain your cool; you are the essence of cool. And you are beautiful to look at. Never underestimate the profound need Americans seem to have for a comely president. (And please don't be insulted by this.) I have been a Howard Dean supporter for almost a year, but in my deepest heart, I don't think he has a snow ball's chance. But YOU DO. You would be loved by the American people. And they would be right to love you. Your policies - although currently opaque- are clear to anyone really listening.

Having read your excellent resume, we are very hopeful that you will 1)extricate us as speedily as possible and honorably (credibly) from the Iraq war. On this issue alone, we are fearful the other presidential candidates will lose to Bush. 2)gain backl our allies and perhaps make new friends where possible by trying diplomacy first 3)guide this nation back to its democratic values. We ask, not lightly, that you sacrifice your retirement to the grave needs of the U. S. at this historic moment.

Dear Wesley Clark; I work in a factory and am sick and tired of what Bush and his rich small minded friends are doing to our country by NOT recognizing the needs of the truly Common People like myself with his ruinous economic and environmental policys and war on terrorism we seem to be losing with every american body counted in the news. I have read about you and for once in my life I truly FEEL that I could actively raise a voice and care for a candidate for president. Please make a run of it... You have MY Blue Collar vote and Loyalty!

General Clark, Now more than ever America is a nation divided. You are the one man who may be able to reunite the people of this great land. America needs a man who is capable of leading America in these tumultuos times. A man with your beliefs and your record as a war hero would make you an attractive candidate to replace the incompetent Bush administration. As it stands now not one of the potential challengers has a legitimate chance to unseat our current president to put America back where it belongs. Please run for President. You have served this country for a long time, pleas consider serving it again.

Well as a non-American citizen I have been looking down at your country from up North and seen with some dismay the choices that seem to be made not just by George Bush but the lack of moral character shown by the Democrats. I have seen some of your record and know that like many military officers you have a sense of history and can understand the consequences of your actions better than some others without your insight. I think you are one of the few that a chance to make a larger contribution than color-commentary on CNN. You should take this oppourtunity and use it to make people wake up and take notice before its to late. I urge you to run not for the sake of Country, duty or honour. I urge you to run because its the right place, right time and you are the right person. Thank you

I have been more dismayed by the UN bombing in Baghdad than any other single event of the Iraqi War. I am convinced that as a county we need to have a person with military, political, and economic insights. Someone who would be electable against the current Whitehouse resident. Someone who would be credible in a variety of contexts and understands the complexity of issues and the responsibility the US has for its actions abroad. Someone with integrity. Someone with vision. You seem like such a person, who also has a commitment to service and can withstand the media onslaught that will have to be faced in current campaigns. Please consider running for President.

Hey Angus, not only are you a coward, you're a liar. First you don't mention your real name and then you endorse Milosovic by defending his cause by calling the General a war criminal. You probably support Saddam too. I go two words for you "SOUR GRAPES". Go cry somewhere else because we all feel your pain that the genocide you support couldn't continue. And you couldn't wipe the General's butt with all of the money you say you have. Sell crazy in some other country we're all stocked up here because of Bush.

An uncertain voter is the worst kind. In modern America, the confused are multiplying and a revolution, brewing. George W. Bush handled 9/11 with courage, and conviction. Americans needed that type of leadership at that moment. But, as an uncertain voter who is quite learned in the areas of history, political science, and current events, I find myself yearning for a better America. We began as "a world apart". We have grown into the world's only hope. Our engagement in the world, both politicaly and socially, is unprecedented. The need for a leader that is compassionate, yet understanding of the world's opinions is imperative. Obviously, we know now, perceptions can kill. We have managed to create a world where we are the leading force and countless global systems and institutions have been formed in our name. The right combination of everything that is needed in an American presidency is a conviction that the presidency itself is no longer only responsible for Americans, as well as the pronouncement that our experiment, (America) will not be undermined because we are, infact, at the brink of a world in which peace prevails, or a world in which fighting erupts. We are, in many ways, responsible for the world and the future of it. Why is it so fundamental that we stay a world apart? Our pride in our ahievements is fundamental to American society, but our pride in our ideals are far more important. The world is looking to us for leadership, and we aren't delivering. I'm writing you because I think you seem to find that blurry line of conservative isolationism, and liberal open-mindedness. Someone who is not afraid to fight for the cause but only when the fight is necessary. In the hope for a bright future for the world, your presidency could mark a revolutionary moment in American politics, and therefore world history. We can change America's direction as easily as turning our cars. Help us drive that car into the future of a globalized world where men, woman, and children are cared for, educated, and truly creatures of the world, not creatures of the old world we are desperately trying to erradicate. I realize that America's chance has been handed to us. Hopefully, you can make the right decision with our responsibilities, and the enormous opportunity 9/11 just might have given us. Yours in hope, Joe Rizzuto If you ever need help campaigning, let me know :)

Dear Gen. Clark: First I'm a high donor fundraiser and also an exper ienced organizer and publicist. Second, since the root cause of most of our problems is our corrupt campaign finance system and AriZona and Maine have demonstrated a superb constitutional alternative--full publicly funded elections, you can count on me to help substantially if this become one of your planks. This policy will also be essential to your winning, since it is the most effective way to get non-voting youth and cynical older adults to decide tore register and to vote (FOR YOU), because the reason they don't register and vote now, is they see both parties bought off. You will be seen as the first candidate ever with a plan to end this! Yours truly, Gary Krane, Pres., David v Goliath Services Oakland, CA and Minneapolis P.S.

I hope that you do run. I do not believe tht this country could survive another term under Bush. We have people out of work -for extended periods of time, men and women dying overseas, and a president that can not tell the truth if it slapped him in the face. Pride is going to the the downfall of the US. Instead of asking the UN directly for help with the war in Iraq--like he did when we went to war, he wants to continue to send Mr. Powell to defend the actions of the US and to ask for unwavering help from other countries. As we wait for him to swallow his pride, young men and women continue to die. As a voting Democrat, my support was behind Kerry, once Gore decided not run. But Dean is stealing the "Glory" and I don't feel that he would/could win the Presidency.

But even moreso I am disgusted with Bush's stance towards the environment and his extremely close relationship with big business. I cannot tolerate it anymore.

Do us all a favor and stay out of the race for President. The last thing we need is one more politician and you are certainly, by all indications, just a typical politician. Your service to your country may be commendable, but you are no longer speaking for our armed forces, in my book. I've seen you on TV countless times this week and you do a wonderful job of not answering simple questions, with simple answers. You are just typical politician that gives long speeches and engages in double-talk instead of answering a simple yes or no. You are even worse actually, because you pretend NOT to be a politician. But there you are......you are asked something and just babble away, covering your talking points and when you're done, I'm asking myself "what in the world was his answer to the QUESTION???".........not the points he is making sure we all know he's covering, but why doesn't he actually answer what the interviewer asked. So please, take all your fans and supporters and stay at home!!!

I have been following you over the past 6 months, reading about your background and experience. You are well respected by other world leaders, something I think is imperative in the current situation with Iraq, Liberia and North Korea. Your background in economics could provide this country with perhaps a more stable economy with a focus on educating our children and caring for our elders in sensible ways. I believe you to be the best candidate and hope you will consider running for office. I have never pledged money to a campaign but if you declare your candidacy, I will send a contribution to support you.

The people of America have a great need now, more than ever, for someone who is intelligent, real-world smart, who has integrity and has experience! We need someone who will uphold his/her sworn oath to UPHOLD AND DEFEND the Consitution of the United States and the people! Who will not abuse the powers granted to the President of the United States. Someone who will truly work with all sides, that will be a centralist! We need to bring this country back to working together, not breaking it apart, along party lines. This is not something that most people who were young during the '60's would think of finding and begging for, from a General, but please help us fight this administration which has stomped not only on other countries, but on the people of the United States, and the Constitution! I believe that if Bush is elected in 2004, that the rights our Founding Fathers and all the other patriots, throughout our history, have fought for, will be gone! And, that will bring darkness to all of the world! I fly my American flag upside-down, because we are in trouble here! (Might be a good symbol for your campaign). I BEG YOU TO RUN! RUN & WIN FOR OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PEOPLE! At the very least, we need you to bring dialog back to the process! To make this administration answer questions that we have! The PRESS is not asking these questions, either through fear or ownership, and the Democratic leadership has been frightened into silence! Let me know what I can do to help!

Sir, As a recently ETS'd paratrooper from the 82nd, my pride in the infantry, the Army, and the Nation is marred by the thought of how we, as soldiers are being employed, spread dangerously thin over no less than three fronts at the present time. Not to mention the constant foolish budget battles for new weapon systems, when our ground troops, the core and driving force of the Army, is left to pay for most of our own equipment. Your experience in diplomacy and in economics encourages me as much as your military background, sir. We need a REAL leader in office, someone to inspire the people, not some pretty face with a blue-blood pedigree and a wall-locker stocked with rhetoric bullshit. I'm registered independant, sir, but that is just a box I checked on a form. Run for office, I don't care which party. You will have the support of the military, and it's family members, and that's just for starters. Please consider it, sir. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, I have seen you several times on TV, most recently, yesterday on CNN's Crossfire. I have been rooting for you to run for president for a few months, now. After seeing you again yesterday, I realized what a true statesman you are. America hasn't had a statesman-like, viable presidential candidate for a very long time. General Clark, America is yearning for a statesman like you to be our president, especially in these uncertain times. America needs you. Please run for president for 2004!!!

Dear General Clark You can make a difference in the world today, millions of us are counting on your expertise to get our country back on track. But, by your non-commitment to running, thus far, you are hanging us out to dry. We need to know if your in this race, and soon. If you decide not to run, after all this time, it will demoralize millions, and America will be left with less chance to rid ourselves of Bush. The anxiety you're causing your supporters is overwhelming. Please, Sir, get in this race nd give Americans a sane and rational voice in the world. Most Sincerely Karen Hellard Clark supporter

Dear General Clark, The United States is vulnerable to losing it's freedom, economy and environment if the policies of the Bush administration continue on unchallenged. It seems all too likely that with the current array of presidental hopefuls that is exactly what will happen. From the first time I heard you speak I knew that love of country is what motivates you and that you could become the next President of the United States because of that. Please announce your canidancy, stongly, clearly and now. Sincerely, Blair deLaubenfels

General Clark, I have been following politics closely dating back to the time of JFK (I'm a couple years younger than you). You are the most qualified presidential candidate I have seen in 40+ years, with a blend of military and financial experience, we have not seen wrapped into one person. Sadly, in the last three years things have gone badly, very badly. Almost nothing has gone well. Economy starts to tank, 9 - 11, budget deficits, a very difficult situation in Iraq, large job losses, electric power outages, gasoline problems, etc. I remember the ? that President Reagan asked in '80: Are you better off than you were four years ago? President Reagan had a solution -- retire the incumbent and give another a chance to run the country. I agree. We need President Clark. Run General Run!!

Over the last two years, the country has taken a course of action which is dangerous, unfair, and foolish. The patriotism of people who are cautious about sending the US military into combat is questioned, consideration of envirornmental issues is skewed and limited, and anyone with a basic understanding of economics knows that massive deficits is not good financial policy. America lacks choice in the political system. As a follower of political science all my life, I have rarely felt strongly about any candidates offered by the two party system. I am excited about seeing General Clark enter the arena. I can understand the hesitation at the committment of taking on such a task. However, the call to civic duty is a strong pull. I believe the current administration is taking this country into a dangerous future. I believe their policies are undermining this country's strongest assets. Much of what I hear and read in the news has little substance and a lot of propaganda. I feel the fringe right-wing has taken control of public policy. A candidate who can be seen as strong, but is sensible and truly compassionate, is needed in this next election. As a volunteer fire-fighter, taxpayer, citizen and patriot, I ask and urge General Clark to undertake the rigors of the campaign and the service and run for President of the United States. America needs an administration who understands and cares about sending American troops into combat. General Clark, thank you for giving hope to those of us who are not fanatically right-wing.

This election is about all of the issues. Not a perception of security based on waging war on peoples rights and fears. I finally know where General Clark stands on domestic issues, after being reassured when I heard him speak on foreign issues. Now I support him completely. We NEED someone who will stand up for something, and tell the people in this country that we can do better. Let's dump the wishy washy Democratic candidates and bring honesty and integrity back to the White House. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark Sir, I served in the US Army during the time you were the CINC of EUCOM/NATO. I was so proud of your performance and leadership during the Kosovo campaign that I knew then that you would one day be called upon to lead our nation in the fight we in the Counterintelligece community knew was on the horizion. Sir, Your country needs you NOW more than at any time in your 32 + years of service. Sir your expertise and vision are the only things that can save our great nation. I currently work in Bosnia as a member of the SFOR peace keeping force in a CIV capacity. You and I know how critical strong American leadership in the Balkans and beyond is necessary but you and I unlike the current President know that a strong NATO and strong international efforts are needed in this new war against terror. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. I will support you in deed, in finance and in word. All The Way Sir!!! Airborne!!

Dear Sir, My name is CPT Jeffrey W. Shuck from Fort Benning, Georgia. I saw you on Crossfire yesterday, and felt the old longing come back. I have wanted you to run for President for a little while now. I like your stance on the issues and your "no nonesense" attitude. You will understand that I don't go into specifics because I am still on Active Duty, and I must maintain some sense of decorum. It has been hard to sit out of Afghanistan and Iraq. I sustained a crippling accident in 2000 in which I broke my back, and it was not fully discovered until 2001 when I was training up for the Best Ranger competition. Now I am a chronic back patient. Some folks in my shoes would be angry or bitter over the mismanaged care I received, but I have a family that loves me, and I think the Army Medical Board is going to do right by me. Although I have some heavy philosophical differences with the way Iraq was presented and being handled, I would still trade my fore arm crutches for a wheel chair the rest of my life, if I could go be with my friends. Only people like us realize that when Mom, apple pie, patriotism, and all that other rhetoric flies out the window, it is only the man or woman on the left or right of you that makes any difference. I have been shocked and appalled at the misconceptions and misleadings that have arisen from Iraq. I guess it comes down to fully committing the manpower and resources, or getting out. Iraq will be an election issue in 2004. I believe you to be the kind of "Hard but fair" leader this country needs. I have served this country for 16 total years when you count my enlisted, guard, active, and commissioned time. I know quality when I see it. Your calm attitude under pressure, your friendliness to the common person, and your strong sense of purpose makes you the perfect candidate in my mind for the Presidency no matter if you run as a Democrat, Republican, or Independent. Sir, for every man, woman, and child in this country like me who sees what a strong, good hearted leader you are, please think of running in 2004's election. I feel you would win by a land-slide, and more importantly you would be able to lead our nation to the next level economically, nationally, and internationally. I would be happy to talk to you at great length over this matter if you would like. You will find my name, address, phone number, and email attached. v/r JEFFREY W. SHUCK CPT, IN PMD Staff Officer

General Clark, Sir, I sincerely hope you decide to run for President of the United States. Our country needs REAL LEADERSHIP NOW – more than ever. I want to be as proud of our President, as I am of our country. I believe Theodore Roosevelt was our greatest "modern" President. Intelligent, thoughtful, diverse and balanced. He was a man with a personal integrity and inner strength to over come adversity, a man who placed himself in harm's way to fight for something he believed in, and a true leader with a vision to see the larger picture, who knew how to use diplomacy as well as force. I believe you have a lot in common with that man. I am so embarrassed by Bush and the tired, old "inside" political hack-cronies that surround him, and indeed, put him there. Their mentality is "walk and talk loudly, carry a big stick and use it without thinking about the consequences". They are liars. But even more seriously - I believe they are doing our country grave harm, which may not be able to be reversed. I would be happy and proud to support your candidacy in any way I can.

General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. I am hoping you will run as a Democrat! I have been waiting for a plausible Democratic candidate that can beat Bush and you do seem to have the qualifications I have been looking for. I have been a confirmed Democrat since I worked for JFK in 1960 and have worked in every election since then. Unless we can get you, I see no hope of beating Bush! Most of my friends and relatives, agree with me, and do not want to vote for any of the other candidates. I have been a very active member of the Democratic Party in Maryland and helped to organize my county, Baltimore County, when Sen. Paul Sarbanes first ran for the Senate. I will be happy to help you, when you announce as a Democrat. I have been keeping my eye on you for awhile and hope you will take this new challenge. I will be there to help you win! Evelyn Burns

General Clark, the fight is here and the time is now. George W. Bush and the people pulling his strings(Carlyle Group, Skull and Bones, etc.) are the greatest evil this world has ever seen. Does that sound dramatic? It is. And, it's true. This cabal has as their agenda nothing less than world domination, a new world order. Calling this a right-wing conspiracy is the understatement of the millenium. They've invaded, lied, and killed thousands of innocent people. Both the war in afghanistran and iraq can be classified as nuclear war, because of the use of DEPLETED URANIUM MUNITIONS. They've trampled on the constitution, the rights of american citizens, and intentionally destroyed the economy. Shakespeare wrote," cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war". Loose your dogs, General. We need them, and we need you. The people of not just america, but the people of the world will back you all the way. Sincerely, An American

Sir: I wanted to add a footnote to my last letter. I think you have a great chance of becoming President. In the last election people voted against Gore{because of what Clinton did, and the handling of welfare} and not for Bush as i'm sure you already know. Only about 25% of the people really want Bush; the rich. If you should decide to run I would hope you would not attack him personally, just his policies. I wouldn't worry about the raising money . If people believe in you they will vote for you. America needs someone they can believe in, not someone they have to constantly worry about. Earl

General Clark, I hope you get to see this letter. I saw you last Thursday with BJ on Channel 11. You make more sense to me than any other candidate in years. You really touched my heart when you talked of meeting with the troops at Walter Reed, especially the one that had lost a leg in a land mine accident. You told of the life changes for this soldier and his family that many people will not realize. May I please share with you my story. My daddy lost a leg in Korea 53 years ago. I grew up seeing his health deterioate slowly. You see, he never talked of "the war" until the last 15 or so years of his life. It was only then that he was able to share with his Marine buddies his experiences. It was at his death that he told me he was still proud to be a Marine and to have fought for freedom of our great country.See, he taught me how great our country and our freedom is. He spent his life showing me this country and he was proud that it is such a beautiful land and he fought to keep it that way. He stood in his front yard and saluted the flag many, many times. How I wish I could see him do that one more time. Daddy died 7/13/01 - just two months before 9-11. America the Beautiful was sung as the Marines folded the flag at the gravesite. It was significant of how Daddy lived his life and taught me to do so also. He never wanted us to see war on our beautiful land. I am sharing this with you because I think you CAN make a difference. We need our country to be a safe place for us to raise our families. I hope you can make a difference. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Thank you. Debra Alexander

Hello Sir: I've seen you on Crossfire a few times. I liked what you said yesterday about the Democratic party having many ideas, and the Republican party wanting your money and could care less about your ideas. The republicans scare me with their overwhelming greed! I believe prophey says: A leader will be "appointed" under great contoversy and he will be the "son of a King" and one of his deeds will be "no child left behind". The aforementioned person will be the beginning that shall bring forth the end. Have any idea who it is?. I have wondered also if you're a true democrat{possibly a independant}, or another wolf in sheeps clothing. I do believe that if the Bush administration is allowed to continue that the life will be squezzed out of America, an only the well-to-do will remain. If you expect to win you have to convince "x" democrats that what Bush is doing is worse than welfare handouts. {alot of people left the party cause of that and what Pesidentl Clinton did. }I would like to believe you and pray that you really could make a difference. You're the best hope we have, if your words are genuine! Earl

General Clark, The possibility that you may run for president has given me a glimmer of hope that a sensible, moderate voice free from the increasingly polemical ranting of left and right can be heard. Our present administration's motives may be to protect our citizens, but there methods have been blinded by ideological rigidity and self-righteousness. I encourage you to enter the fray!!! America needs you. Please run for president.

Would you please rescue us from the idiots that have taken over the executive branch of our government? Please run and win the Presidency of the United States.

Please consider a Presidential run. I'm a 65 year old retired RN who has always voted and, win or lose, treated the winner with respect. George W Bush and his minions and their seeming lack of concern for our servicemen & women scares me. I have a very strong, very unpleasant feeling that this war is political and has been stoked by the desire to re-elect Bush. How did Halliburton get contracts without bidding? Why are nearly 30 pages re: Saudi Arabia deleted from the 9-11 report? Why did Rice,Rumsfeld and Bush lie about weapons of mass destruction? Why do I feel that this country is being sold piece by piece to huge corporations? Please offer me some hope. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president. Jan Wylie, RN

You come accross as serious, intelligent, thoughtful, and professional, which is more than one can say about most of the other Democratic candidates. We need a person with your military credentials too, both to deal with the real threats that we face and to give credibility to an alternative strategy for dealing with them. I think you are more 'electable' than all the other Dem candidates. America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times.

Dear General Clark, It is apperant that this country needs more than rhetoric in a leader. I believe we need a man with the integrity of Jimmy Carter, the intestinal fortitude of FDR, the diplomatic abilities of Colon Powell, and the comon sense of Ben Franklin. Having seen you on tv many times, I think you may possess these qualities. If so, please run for president. We need you! I was reading some of the other letters sent to you and ran across the one from the smartass calling himself WJ Klinton. This is a good exaple of those who are currently running this country. No debate, no facts, no independent opinions, just namecalling and labeling of those who disagree with the current administration. We really need you badly!

Dear General Clark, My husband and I have watched in despair what has been happening in this country in the past three years. We have watched as the economy stagnates, as the freedoms protected by the Constitution have been flouted by our government, and as we wage unproductive war against marginal threats while countries that poise an actual threat are ignored. The worst part of the entire situation is that we have every reason to believe that it will go on for another four years. When we heard that you were considering running for the presidency, it presented the only ray of hope we have had since our current president took office. You would not only be an inspired leader to a country that desperately needs one, your intelligence and presence would redefine what it means to be President of this nation. As reluctant as you might be, the country needs you in this time of crisis. Not only are you the only candidate that has a chance to defeat Mr. Bush, you are by far the most qualified to be our Commander in Chief. I hope and pray that you choose to run. With all of our support, Melaney and Chris Bedard

Dear General Clark, Please run for president. You are the sole alternative to return intellect, experience and character to the most important office in this country and the world. We need you! You are the most honest, experienced, knowledgeable and humble person of rank I have ever witnessed, who truly loves this country and doesn't consider rank as an opportunity to use power for his own benefit. I and my entire family hope you can find within yourself the courage to stand up to those I consider to be the most self-serving and misguided administration in the modern history of our country. We know the damage the Bush administration has already done to NATO, to the middle east, to the environment, the economy and to the meaning of integrity in the office president. You are the embodiment of all of all we hope a president could and should be. Also, General Clark, whatever you choose, we support you. We know that you will do, as you always have done, what is best for this country and therefore for yourself. If for nothing else, thank you for being an example of character, integrity, honor, culture, and real, altruistic love for the United States of America and for each of us.

My brave soldiers, young and stern, are mislead by reckless fools. Profligate with my patriot’s trusting blood, they slander my name, Where further do they march!? My aged warrior, who else have I? to reclaim my standards and replace them properly upon the ramparts of freedom. MY NAME IS LIBERTY! Your commission honorably retired, endeared to your countrymen Your duty faithfully performed, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, Know, If the cause were but light or transient, your repose, I would not disturb; But Alas, my peril is dire, the danger immediate! I stand before you an image of your Nation in distress, Desperate, Knowing I have nothing to offer but the wretched refuge of my teeming shore, My aged warrior, veteran champion of the tempest tossed, ask not for whom I Summon, Wesley K.

Dear General Clark, I am one of the signers of the original petition calling for you to run for President. I have pledged $100 to your campaign, if you choose to run. I have emailed you a form letter. I've enailed the "Draft Wesley Clark" website, asking to be kept on a definite volunteer list if you run. Now I'm writing this letter. If I could afford it, I'd rent a blimp to hover over your house, with the banner "Please run for President, General Clark." In this time of turmoil for our nation, we need a man of your proven qualities. (A dedication to service, a record of bravery, a unique intelligence - what better man can we look to for leadership?) We need you, General Clark. You are our best hope. Sincerely, Carolyn Clanton

He said almost all of "the grunts" or privates talk about how you should run. You are articulate and have lots of experience with the Armed Forces, which is what we need at this time. I did not agree with the Iraq war, but something is wrong with all the soldiers dying over there. These are the sons and daughters who I know or who are low or middle class like me, Bush sheds no tears for how much a family is affected by a death or just a deployment. Please run. We need someone like you to get America back on track in the World. As soon as you think it over and decide to run, our checkbook is coming out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear General Clark, I am 18 years old so this will be the first election where I will be able to vote. I've spent most of my life overseas in various countries. I experienced severe culture shock coming back to finish my last couple of years of high school at Milton Academy. I didn’t like the narrow viewpoints that most children my age seem to express due to their limited exposure to international cultural issues. I’ve heard you articulate your views on the television and agree with them. I believe that if you run, you will be the only one that deserves to win the election. Please run and be our future.

General Clark, 1. I was extremely disillusioned in 2000 when the Republicans cast a military hero to the wind in favor of George W. Bush. 2. I am not particularly loyal to either the Democrats or the Republicans; I am a registered independent. 3. The latest trend of G.O.P.-flavored jingoism has turned me away from anything stamped "Republican." 4. I am a patriot, and I resent it when someone with no military background whatsoever tells me my views indicate otherwise. 5. If you run for president in 2004 I can assure you plenty of military folks will cast their votes for you. 6. I am one of those folks.

General Clark, we need you to run for President. I appreciated your thoughtful and intelligent comments on CNN during the Iraq War and said then to my husband, he ought to run for President! And this week I have heard you on other cable TV news programs. I am impressed. We need intelligent, thoughtful leadership domestically and in foreign policy. As a health care professional (I am a dentist), I am very aware that way too many of our health care dollars are spent on hospital administrative fights with health insurance companies, and insurance companies figuring out ways to deny care, rather than on direct patient services. Having grown up in small town Oregon, where public school teachers, could afford to buy a nice house, and where there were neither the very rich nor the very poor, I am disappointed that the real strength of this country, the middle class, is being eroded by the Republican support of the very wealthy to the exclusion of ordinary Americans. And, I am old enough to remember General Eisenhower saying that if elected he would "go to Korea". I think the Iraq War has made us more unsafe in this age of terror, I think it was naive of the so called "neo-cons" to think the war would be over in a few weeks, people would dance in the streets and magically democracy would blossom. But now we are stuck with being in Iraq, and we seem to have forgotten our obligation to Afghanistan, to say nothing of myriad other areas such as N. Korea, Africa, the MidEast "roadmap" etc. I think you would be uniquely qualified to lead this country out of this foreign policy mess. President Bush does not seem to see all the shades of gray in issues, or respect divergent opinions, or even remember that he said he would bring all Americans together. His high poll numbers are just because Americans were frightened by 9/11, but he has not made good leadership decisions in the aftermath. Please run for President. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president and touch many hearts. Please read my article "The Touch Of War" below to see what I think and feel about our war activities. Thank you so much...and please run for president. The Touch Of War "Losing my 28-year-old husband and father of our two young children is a terrible and painful experience. His death is also part of an immense national loss and I am comforted by knowing so many share my grief. But because I have lost Craig as part of this historic tragedy, my anguish is compounded exponentially by fear that his death will be used to justify new violence against other innocent victims." This plea by 9/11 widow Amber Amundson is from her Internet article "A Widow's Plea for Non-violence" dated September 25, 2001 Weeping is our finest sympathy for Amber and all others who mourn this tragedy. It is the highest expression of our desire to share their grief. When war touches our lives, many things change. We become anguished when loved ones are lost or seriously wounded. Our questions about war issues become important and can make us more aware of our common humanity. The following questions and comments may help, even though we may already have our own opinions and answers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kill or be Killed? Is war ever a moral way of settling disputes? Some say "Never" while others say "It depends". Complete pacifists hold that reverence for human life is supreme and that there are nonviolent alternatives to war. Mass destruction in the name of freedom, democracy, country, God or defense is never justified. They say the slaughter of war destroys the very values it claims to vindicate. Those who say "It depends" say that when life gets harsh due to political, economic, or social conditions, warfare may be the only way to obtain a decent life. To them war is a necessary evil. Why must we get to where we have to decide to kill or be killed? Why don't we use nonviolent alternatives more? Why can't we become more united by our common humanity? When war touches our lives with perceived injustice and extensive feelings of hostility, some are more likely to kill or desire to kill. Helplessness, lack of meaning, and separation brought by war may make us feel more and more removed from the humane aspects of life. Good And Evil In our current war on terrorism Americans see Osama bin Laden as evil. Jihad University students see Americans as evil. Evil brings the problems of how to identify it, how to reduce its power, and how to eliminate it. Some say that evil is a myth used to depower humans. They claim that until we humanize our enemy, we surrender our lives to an erroneous illusion called evil. Meanwhile we see ourselves as good. This motivates using violence to squelch our enemies, while being blind to our own misdeeds during war. Why eliminate evil by evil means? Why can't we humanize our enemies? Why don't we understand the good - evil polarity much better? Life is full of polarities. We can think of them as either/or divisions or as both/and connections. When they are reconciled we see the both/and connections in life. No person is then seen as all good or all bad. Legalizing Violence The enemy in war is often seen as an evil aggressor. If it can be alleged that the enemy is to be repelled or retaliated against for an evil aggression, then anything goes. Wars then become wars of defense, with the aggressor always on the other side. When anything goes some peacetime crimes like killing, maiming, and destroying property become legal. The tendency to hurt and strike back to release pain is emphasized. It is assumed that if the enemy is hurt enough, surrender and submission will follow. As concern about evil aggression increases, violence may become the leading industry. Maintaining large budgets for defense may become habitual and required. Warlike traits and the frequency of warfare may increase as militarism becomes an acceptable way of life. Why must we hurt back to release pain? Why is it necessary to legalize peacetime crimes for war? Why must violence become a leading industry? The anything goes mentality is very destructive. We can call on our sense of decency and humanity to stop the glorification of violence. We can all learn to release our pain by nonviolence so others won't be hurt. Militarism Popular Militarism has its positive side. Values like patriotism, duty, honor, courage, and loyalty appeal to many. So do self-sacrifice, leadership, discipline and physical fitness. In this way militarism becomes popular in spite of the destruction it can bring with war. Veterans organizations and military establishments grow. Many workers unenthused about war are drawn to the defense industries. To them it means new jobs and higher wages. For labor unions and elected officials it means prosperity. But war also brings less wholesome attitudes like conformity, elitism and authoritarianism. And war is destructive and costly. Why popularize militarism that may bring much agony and death? Why not create enhancements of the human condition that abhor war? Why don't we use our global economic power to remove human misery everywhere? Values that place much emphasis on bigger and better ways to maim and destroy can be changed. We can learn much more about why we must resort to aggression and violence. We can learn to solve difficult social problems without war. Wounds And Death Iraq may have chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. Our biggest concern is that Saddam Hussein will use them. Weapons of mass destruction may cause damage long after the moment of impact. While many may die immediately, others may die much later. Wounds of survivors may take a long time to heal. Some may have wounds that never heal. Men, women, and children whose homes have been bombed, shelled, or burned may be forced to live in overcrowded refuge camps. They may not have enough food, shelter, and water. Craters, destroyed property, and contaminated air may have devastating effects on their spirits. Many shared symbols of wholesome living are shattered in war torn areas. Trust and loyalties fade. Many people become numb and emotionally desensitized, as their pain becomes more and more unbearable. Extreme cruelty may be committed by those who cannot feel the pain of their victims. Those outside the war zone may become callous and heartless, as they read that thousands of people were killed. They may not realize that nearly as many or more may have been maimed, blinded, burned, poisoned or otherwise afflicted. Why must we build and maintain weapons of mass destruction that terrorize and brutalize? Why must so many suffer because of our mass inhumanity to one another? Why do humans not feel the pain of their victims? All of us can do more to get in touch with our feelings so we can feel the pain of others. We can help heal wounded hearts everywhere so everyone will naturally abhor violence and avoid war. War Is Useless General Douglas MacArthur was our Pacific commander in World War II. He said the very destruction of war on both friend and foe alike makes it useless for solving international disputes. War is the most devastating form of violence. World War II was the biggest and most terrible war. About half of the thirty million killed were civilians. The rest were soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Over 400,000 of these were Americans. As the threats to each side mount, hostility and hatred increase. Killing and other atrocities may become rampant, with little regard for what is humane and decent. The destruction that maims and kills innocent children is particularly deplorable. Why must we harm and destroy, rather than help and create? Why do we kill innocent men, women, and children? Why do we persist in using something as useless as war? The meaning and purpose of a civil humanity is peace and order, where we willingly settle disputes with nonviolence. We can all contribute to peace by knowing our hostilities and dealing creatively with them. Even if our hostile feelings propel us toward aggression, we still have our conscious reasoning power, and our value system, that provide restraint. War A Cultural Phenomenon Anthropologist Margaret Mead explodes the myth that human nature is necessarily competitive, aggressive, or warlike. In her study "Warfare is Only an Invention - Not a Biological Necessity" Asia, XL, 1940 she finds that war is a cultural phenomenon. Not all societies use war to resolve disputes. Mead claims that the idea of warfare is an invention. It is like any of our other human inventions such as writing, marriage, and cooking. Poor inventions usually give way to better ones. This happens when the defect of the old invention is fully recognized and something more suited to human reality is created. She maintains that we can be taught that warfare is a defective social institution. This can be done via propaganda against warfare and documentation of its terrible costs in human suffering and social waste. Further, there must be a belief that a new social invention is possible...and that the creation of new methods will render warfare as out of date as the horse and buggy. Why have we not accepted globally that war is a human invention? Why can't our global humanity emulate those societies that avoid war? Why have all attempts to make war obsolete failed? We have not addressed our capacity for creation and destruction in sufficient breadth and depth. We need a quick profound global revolution of the heart that creates much positive social change and brings the precious humanity that we want. Then Amber need not be anguished further that the death of her husband will be used to justify new violence against innocent victims.

General Clark, please run for president. I've seen you a few times on TV and you're the only person I would want to vote for. I would find someone to support, but you're the guy...if you would run. Your time is now! I think with the times we're in we need a general to be president. I have no confidence in Bush or the Bush team except for Colin Powell. Please run for president. Thanks, Tom

General Clark, I've never contributed to a political campaign before but I have just pledged my support for you if you should decide to run for president. I am a police officer and a veteran of the USAF. I have never been so ashamed of an administration as I am of the current one. President Bush and the Neo-Cons (Chickenhawks) are leading this counrty into a hugh sinkhole. Our most trusted friends and allies around the world now shun us. The economy is in the dumps, crime is on the rise and the only answer from President Bush is another tax cut for the rich and a war based on lies and deception. The Bush administration promised millions of dollars for homeland security and public safety to purchase radios, protective gear and other high tech equipment. Sadly, I must say If there was another 911 today, hundreds of First Responders could be killed because we have not gotten what was promised. If we don't turn this around NOW then I fear for the future of my two children and my counrty. General, when the counrty called you answered and now we call upon you again. The counrty needs you! Please run for president. Gregory Barnes

Dear General Clark, I have now seen you on television, read your views as described on your website, and read the August Esquire article about you. I am now ready to be more articulate than in my first letter to you about why I hope you will run for the office of President. I have disagreed with almost every political action President Bush has taken, but the thing I find most upsetting in the last two-and-a-half years is that President Bush--in offering his tax cuts and his military strategy--has appealed to the selfishness in everyone. He is not a statesman, but a salesman. He is not offering us a better society. He is saying "I'll give you money if you vote for me." You, General Clark, with your belief in accountability, your honesty, and your compassionate principles, are a natural leader--a statesman, not a salesman. You can remind us that we are all working together for a better society as well as personal happiness and that the better society will increase our personal happiness. I completely endorse your agenda of 5-, 30-, and 100-year outcomes. If you choose to run, I will give you my full support in terms of committing money and volunteering time (such time and money as a middle-class, middle-aged mother of two, a planner and a writer, has). I appreciate that the Republican establishment fights a nasty fight and that the media are intrusive and arrogant. But if you run for president, you will have some good people helping you. Sincerely yours, Anne Mackin Krieger

Dear General Clark, You have spent your whole life dedicated to serving our nation and protecting the values that our nation was founded on. Please do not turn your back on your country at a time your country needs you the most. You have courageously criticized Mr. Bush for leading the nation in the wrong direction, I hope that you will choose to lead the nation in the right direction. Please run for President of the United States. I look forward to volunteering in Texas for you.

America needs a new president. One who is up to the challenge of our uncertain times. Please run for President. For the first I am so excited about a campaign (that isn't even official yet!). All I know is we cannot allow George W. Bush to have a second term. Until now I didn't think there was anyone out there who could beat him. You come across with such clarity and good sense. You're the man who can do it. Wesley Clark, PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT. The country needs you. 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. General Clark, America needs you. Please run for president.

Obviously, I don't know Wesley Clark, but he came across well on CNN's "Crossfire" today, and from what I saw and heard, I like Clark as a person. Clark exudes "independence" and "integrity." He appears to be an AMERICAN with real INTERNATIONAL experience. He was FIRST in his class (1966) at West Point, he is a Rhodes Scholar, and he has Master's degrees in THREE different subject areas. So we KNOW he's SMART! And Clark is obviously a PROVEN LEADER too. He didn't become a four star general by following the crowd! Given Clark's education, experience and credentials, I THINK he KNOWS what AMERICA was and is supposed to be, and I HOPE it's the America George Washington advised in his Farewell Address. Maybe Clark will be America's next Eisenhower! Like Clark, I too believe America is at a VERY dangerous CROSSROADS in its history! Continuing on the path we're being TAKEN UNDER FALSE PRETENSES by Bush & Company is, in my opinion, ABSOLUTELY the wrong way to go! Our rights are being abridged by the second! Witness Attorney General Ashcroft's latest efforts! First the "Patriot Act," now he's stumping for his so-called "Victory Act!" I smell a Greek in a Trojan Horse! And our sons and daughters are being forced to fight and die in foreign lands. I SENSE I can trust Clark with the lives of my children! I don't know of any other candidate or possible candidate for President in '04 I can say that about! I just donated ( Draft Wesley Clark for President ) another $25 to the DraftWesleyClark movement, and I bought about $30 worth of Draft Wesley Clark items -- a "Draft Wesley Clark" bumper sticker and "Draft Wesley Clark" Beer Stein! Before I'm through, I may buy the "Draft Wesley Clark" cap and T-Shirt too! Got to do something to make this world a better place FOR MY CHILDREN'S SAKE! But I can't protect my children by myself. I need you to protect your children too, and in the process, we'll each help the other to protect ALL children. Here's hoping Gen. Clark runs for president in '04!

You summed up many of the problems that are confronting our nation in the few moments you were on CNN and you were like a breath of fresh air. Your country needs you!! Please consider a run for the Presidency and declare yourself soon. The citizens of our beloved country are desperately in need of someone we can look up to.

General Clark, as a fellow retired soldier, I would gladly elect a President who regards American soldiers as flesh and blood, and not just a tool to rally voters around the flag and his administration. The death of one soldier to boost a politician's poll numbers is one too many. We have been led for too long by politicians who pay lip service to "our brave American fighting men and women" but who have no real appreciation for the sacrifices those soldiers and their families are making for this nation. I believe that you would put the people of this nation ahead of your own personal gain, and I ask that you run for President.

Dear General Clark, I've never written a candidate or potential candidate before. Nor have I joined a political party or group. However, I see this election as so critical to the stability of the United States and the world, I feel compelled to act now. I am prepared to dedicate my money and my time to your candidacy. I will support you with zeal and determination to make a change for the better in this new world, which frightens me more than I have ever been frightened. I was in the air above New York on 9/11 and spent many days there in the weeks after. My experience there inspired me to move back to Arkansas and seek a simpler life once again. But the fear and confusion of this new global instability has affected even the formerly calm communities in Northwest Arkansas. We cannot afford to look to 2008 for a change. We must act now. I was of the mind early in this campaign that only Howard Dean had a chance in hell of defeating George W. Bush. I now know with all certainty that you are the only one who CAN defeat George W. Bush. I plead with you as a fellow Arkansan, a fellow American, and a fellow citizen of the world, to run. Run with all you've got. We need you now, and you have my unflagging support to the end. Sincerely, Paul J. Boatright
