Last Tuesday, Darcy Burner, Congressional candidate in Washington's 8th district, had her home burn down. Darcy needs to focus on her family -- but that means she can't fundraise. Every dollar that we raise for Darcy gives her a little extra time to take care of her family. Show Darcy that we've got her back -- click here to donate to her campaign! |
Politics is tough. So when one of our own is down, we have to have their back.
Last Tuesday morning, Darcy Burner, Congressional candidate in Washington's 8th district, had her home burn down. Darcy's 5-year-old son was awakened by the fire alarm in his room. He woke up his parents, and thankfully, the family escaped safely. However, Darcy's home was completely destroyed.
At this difficult time, Darcy needs to focus on her family as they work to get their lives back in order. That's what she should be doing -- what any of us would do after a similar tragedy.
But in Darcy's case, that means she can't fundraise, she can't campaign. And in an election as important and close as hers will be, every day she's off the campaign trail puts her at a disadvantage. She needs our help.
Every dollar that we raise for Darcy gives her a little extra time to take care of her family. So let's step up and show Darcy that we've got her back. Contribute to Darcy's campaign today!

Darcy is in a tight race and represents one of our best pickup opportunities in the House. She's going to be an advocate to bring our troops home from Iraq. She's going to stand strong to fight warrantless wiretapping and protect the Constitution.
We can't let this tragedy stop us from adding Darcy's voice to Congress. Though Darcy says she lost "just stuff," she needs time with her family now.
Help me give Darcy the time she needs. Every donation provides Darcy with more time to put down the phone for fundraising and focus on her family. Contribute to Darcy's campaign today!

One of the keys to our success over the years is that we stick together. We take care of each other. I am so proud to have supporters like you in the Clark community.
Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
P.S. I've heard from many of you over the past week, and I can't thank you enough for your support. Now help me support Darcy by contributing to her campaign today!
I will definitely contribute... Politics is tough, but it will not discourage us to support ("get their backs") those who are not afraid to speak, and to stand up for the truth and what should be done. And thank you again, sir. -Maryann P.

I always trust your judgement, Gen. Clark--and I know Darcy is fortunate to have you and CCN backing her up.
The General gets it right.
Competence--What a concept!
I always trust your judgment, Gen. Clark--
Ain't that the truth. Darcey's race is important and her predicament a heavy load to haul, but the truth is that always trusting Wes' judgment and motives is a winner.
So proud to be a Wes Clark Democrat! I am focusing on Congressional races, and appreciate you continuing to be out there leading the way for worthy Democrats. Darcy couldn't have a better person out there rallying the troops on her behalf.

Wes Clark could still secure America as a national security candidate.
Wes, We not only support Darcy, we strongly
support all you do. Our hearts are broken over
the way you have been treated. We understand
that you have been through worse times, but you
deserve far more respect and admiration from
the dems than you've been getting.
Bill and Diane
Your judgment has always been unimpeachable which is why you alone have my complete trust.
I remain behind you one hundred percent.
You truly are MY hero.
for helping Darcy, General Wes. She's going through a rough go. But, we'll get her through it. We do take care of each other. So true. :)
Darcy's race is where I've been putting my attention this time around.
You're making me tear up. Of course, we've got your back and of course we're all so proud to be supporting such a worthy and honorable man and of course I can't refuse this request and I am going to donate to Darcy now.
Take care, General, and thanks again for all you do.
