Wes Clark's email appeal for Hillary : Experience


Dear Pamela, Help us reach our goal today. Help Hillary win!

For the next 28 days, I'm doing everything I can for Hillary. I'm hitting the campaign trail for Hillary in Iowa so I can talk to voters, make phone calls, and do whatever I can to help her campaign win. I've known Hillary for 24 years, and I've seen what she can do. That's why I'm traveling for her in Iowa, because I know that helping her in this race is the most important thing I can do at this moment.

There are just 28 days until the Iowa caucuses, and the race there is a dead heat. It's so close that anything -- no matter how small it may seem -- can make a difference. It could be one group of voters I talked to yesterday. It could be a donation you make today that puts Hillary over the top. I know from experience that everything we do at this critical moment matters.

Your action today can affect the ultimate outcome of this race. Hillary's campaign has set an ambitious goal for the week: $1.25 million to help her fight in the early states. We're more than halfway there, but we can't reach that goal without your help.

Click here to contribute today and help Hillary win.

We are facing tough times in this country. For seven years, we've learned a hard lesson: Experience matters. If we want to reverse George Bush's irresponsible course, we need real leadership.

Deciding to support Hillary was easy for me -- I know she'll make sound decisions and execute them flawlessly. I trust her to steer us straight at home and represent us ably abroad. So if we want to put our country back on track, you and I need to play an active role in her campaign -- especially at a critical moment like this.

Now there are just 28 days until the first contest in this race, the Iowa caucuses. In Iowa, the race is tight, and Hillary's supporters are excited and ready to get to work. I know I'm going to do everything I can to help her win, and I hope you'll join me now.

You can make a difference for her in a race this close. There's no better way than to help her reach that $1.25 million goal so she has what she needs to win.

Thank you for all you are doing to help Hillary change America.

Sincerely,
Wes Clark

Collecting Signatures at the Dalai Lama Event Yesterday


The Dalai Lama gave a talk in Chicago yesterday and I thought it would be a good place to gather more signatures for the stopiranwar.com petition. News reports say that over 10,000 were in attendance, and I was able to get over 75 signatures while people waited to pass through the security checkpoints.

So, here is a collection of humor sites, for those who could use a break...

This is making the rounds on the Internet again - thought I'd post it for anyone who would enjoy a little laugh.

"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it." - Groucho Marx

The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor: She said, "If you were my
husband I'd give you poison," and he said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink
it."

A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows
or of some unspeakable disease." "That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether
I embrace your policies or your mistress."
