A Good Offense



Blanche tells me she needs 200 donors in the next 7 days, and I am proud to do all I can to help her reach her goal. I urge you to take action today.

To face today's challenges and guide our country through a time of crisis, we need more good, hard-working leaders fighting for us in Washington. We need more folks like my fellow Arkansan, Blanche Lincoln.

Every day, Blanche Lincoln is fighting the good fight for all of us in the U.S. Senate, putting Arkansans back to work, fixing this economy, and keeping America safe and strong.

Blanche is up for reelection in 2010, and we've got to do everything we can to keep her in the Senate. With the June 30 quarterly fundraising deadline just around the corner, I hope you'll join me and stand with Blanche right now.

Please contribute $25, $50, or more to Sen. Blanche Lincoln. We need her in the Senate, and your support before June 30 will give Blanche a crucial boost towards victory in 2010:

Already, the pundits are all chattering about who will run against Blanche. Right now, we know the national Republican Party is searching for a strong, well-funded challenger to take her on.

Well I've always believed the best defense is a good offense. A strong showing of grassroots support at the June 30 quarterly filing deadline -- just days away -- will make these would-be challengers think twice.

Blanche tells me she needs 250 donors in the next 7 days, and I am proud to do all I can to help her reach her goal. I urge you to take action today.

Please contribute $25, $50, or more to Sen. Blanche Lincoln right this minute. We need her in the Senate, and your support before June 30 will give Blanche a critical boost towards victory in 2010:

When Senator Lincoln's refundable child tax credit first became law, she had to persuade her colleagues that millions of working families who don't earn enough to pay income taxes should not be ignored by a policy intended to end child poverty.

It's obviously a good idea, but it took Blanche's hard work, soft touch, and firm hand to get it done. We need more of that good, common-sense leadership in the U.S. Senate.

Blanche's would-be opponents don't offer alternatives when they criticize the tough choices that she is making for us. They don't promise a new direction, just more of the same Bush-Cheney policies that got us into this mess in the first place.

I am proud to support Blanche Lincoln for the U.S. Senate in 2010 -- but she needs all of our support right now. We're just a few days away from the second quarter FEC deadline, and I need your help to show Blanche's opponents that her campaign has the strength and grassroots energy to win.

Please contribute $25, $50, or more to Sen. Blanche Lincoln right this minute. We need her in the Senate, and your support before June 30 will give Blanche a critical boost towards victory in 2010:

Whether it's putting Americans back to work, fighting for our children's education, or winning energy independence from Middle Eastern oil, my friend Blanche is the one who always remembers where she came from. She's the one who doesn't forget who she went to Congress to serve.

That's why you should get behind her today. I promise you won't regret it.

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

Sorry, sir. I can't go there. Lincoln isn't one of my favorite (supposed) Democrats.

well known Democrats is that he can effectively campaign for liberal, moderate, and more conservative Democrats while other well known Democrats cannot do that!

Gen. Clark can campaign for and be seen with more liberal Democratic candidates like Ned Lamont and Charlie Rangel:

Gen. Clark can also campaign for more moderate Democrats like Tim Kaine and Jim Webb who were running in red states and for Joe Sestak who was running in a red district:

Finally, Gen. Clark can also campaign for more conservative Democrats who were running in red states like Harold Ford and Jon Tester and for House candidates who were running in red districts like Kirsten Gillibrand:

Do you think that any of these moderate and conservative Democratic candidates would ever agree to be publicly seen with people like Ted Kennedy or John Kerry? I honestly do not think so!

The big picture of things to me is that Gen. Clark is very unique because probably every Democratic candidate running anywhere in the country would be glad to be seen with him while that is definitely not the case with many other well known Democrats. This is a quality about Gen. Clark that has impressed me for years!

So I am glad that Gen. Clark is supporting Blanche Lincoln who is running in a fairly red state and I am also glad that probably any Democratic candidate (liberal, moderate, or conservative) would be glad to be publicly seen with him!

Gen. Clark having such a broad based appeal is a very unique quality and it speaks very highly of him in my opinion!

The reason for which General Clark is able to attract individuals of many political persuassions is because he is a practical realist.

Only tried and true progressives get anything from me. People like her do more damage than Republicans imho
