Last Tuesday, more than 15 million Americans voted in Democratic primaries and caucuses across 22 states. In fact, Democrats outnumbered Republicans on Super Tuesday by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. It was an astounding display of democracy and a testament to the passion of Democrats and like-minded independents in this year's presidential primary.
As you know, I'm supporting Hillary Clinton for President. I could list countless reasons why, but I think one story about Hillary sums it all up.
After the war in Kosovo was over, she and the President flew in to meet the troops. I watched her engage with the privates, sergeants and the colonels. She knew the issues, she knew the personal aspects and she had their respect. In my talk with her, I could see she had followed the issues closely and was well in-tune with the military and diplomatic requirements. She could have been the Commander-in-Chief.
This race couldn't be closer -- and the stakes for our country couldn't be higher. Hillary is going to need millions of dollars to compete in the upcoming states, so I'm asking you to join me. Already, 75,000 people have contributed to Hillary since Super Tuesday. The time to act is now. Please contribute to Hillary today!
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/wesclarkJust think about what George W. Bush is leaving behind for the next President. Imagine walking into the Oval Office with a weakening economy, a broken health care system, fractured relationships with nations across the world, and of course, the mess in Iraq.
There is one candidate I know who can deal with these challenges right from Day One: Hillary Clinton.
The qualities I saw in Hillary that day in Kosovo are what we need today: Wisdom, compassion, intelligence, and moral courage.
I believe in Hillary deeply. I need you to stand with me -- right now. Make a contribution to Hillary's campaign today.
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/wesclarkI spent 34 years in uniform because I love our country. After I retired, I saw this president take us needlessly into Iraq only to watch as our men and women in uniform made sacrifices while the war architects in the White House made none. I couldn't stand on the sidelines and do nothing.
In 2003, with your support, I ran for president. And though we were not successful, I know that our voices together made a difference.
Today, it's time to act again. But alone, I am just a single voice. So I am asking you to add your voice to mine. To help me send a message that our time is now. That we must act now to fix all that this administration has broken. That Hillary is the leader we need.
Please add your voice to mine. Contribute to Hillary's campaign and help her reach voters across America.
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/wesclarkThank you for your support over all these years. It heartens me to know that we are still connected -- fighting for what is right for our families, our country, and our future. And that we are still united by something I said several years ago: We can do better. We will do better. And we will do it together.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
