Congratulations!

Thanks to the generosity of our WesPAC community, we reached our goal of raising $20,000 for Christine Jenning’s recount fund a full week ahead of schedule.

The ongoing recount in FL-13 is fast becoming an important test case for electronic voting, and the results of this battle will certainly have a major impact on voting throughout our country. It is a testament to our community that we would so quickly seize the opportunity to make sure that Christine has the resources needed to ensure that every intended vote is counted.

Thank you again for your generous help and support. It will certainly make a big difference as Christine fights for electoral justice!

If you haven't had an opportunity to contribute to Christine Jennings recount fund, there is still time, just click here.

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

General Wes Clark in Campaign Ad for Ned Lamont

"Mistake"

I'm retired General Wes Clark.

Joe Lieberman introduced the resolution authorizing the War in Iraq. That was a mistake.

Joe Lieberman voted for that resolution without asking the tough questions. That was also a mistake.

And now, 3 and a half years into a failing mission in Iraq, Joe Lieberman can't seem to say we should change the course. And that's a REAL mistake.

Re-elect Joe Lieberman? Well, there's a word for it.

"Mistake."

I'm Ned Lamont and I approve this message.

This year's midterm elections present American voters with a clear choice on the type of leadership we want for our country. Do we want to continue with the Republicans' current "stay the course" status quo? Or do we want new leadership on the critical issues that we face -- in particular the situation in Iraq -- the type of new leadership that only Democrats can provide?

Support Dr. Spencer's campaign for Congress -- contribute today to help run my radio ad!

For those who choose new leadership, they need look no further than Dr. Selden Spencer, who is the Democratic nominee for Congress in Iowa's 4th district.

I just recorded a radio ad in support of Dr. Spencer's campaign, and we are looking to raise $10,000 in order to play the ad across the 4th Congressional District. Please contribute what you can to air this important message.

I served in the military for 38 years. From my experience, it is clear that our policies are not leading us to victory in Iraq, Afghanistan, or the rest of the Middle East. It will take more than military might alone to secure America

Dr. Selden Spencer of Huxley has been on the ground in Afghanistan. He sees that we need a new direction in the Middle East that includes diplomacy and economic development, in addition to the strong military component of the mission.

Dr. Spencer served in Kabul as a physician with Northwest Medical Teams, and while there it became crystal clear to him that a critical component of our battle in the Middle East needs to be winning the hearts and minds of the people there. This is a lesson the Republicans in Washington refuse to learn, and is one of the primary reasons we need Dr. Selden Spencer in Congress.

The tide is turning.

It's what the polls say and it's what the pundits say. Everywhere I travel, people tell me they have had it with the Republicans' one-party rule in Washington, and they want them out now. Respected political analyst Charlie Cook calls this election "one of those once- or twice-in-a-generation elections when a party enjoys unbelievable gains."

We must seize this opportunity.

But for all our momentum, Democrats still have to do the hard campaign work to make sure we emerge victorious on Election Day.

That's why in past months I have urged you to support Democratic Senate candidates like Harold Ford in Tennessee, Ned Lamont in Connecticut, Claire McCaskill in Missouri, Jon Tester in Montana, and Jim Webb in Virginia. And it is why today, I am imploring you to support the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).

Please contribute to the DSCC today -- and help Democrats take back the Senate on November 7th!

http://www.dscc.org/clark

The DSCC is the arm of the Democratic Party whose sole purpose is to provide Democratic Senate candidates with the financial resources they need to win. I've worked with the DSCC before, and I know that they have the speed, agility, and know-how to lead us to victory on November 7th.

But with only 14 days until the election, this is when the DSCC needs you most. They must have the resources to turn on a dime, react quickly to the changing political landscape, and instantly send money to the candidates who need it most.

I am so thankful for the support many of you recently gave to individual Senate candidates across America. Now I urge you to be just as generous with the DSCC. Please make an immediate contribution today.

We're just two days from the most important fundraising deadline in the 2006 elections, and I wanted to write to you about three candidates who will help change the course in Congress and in America: Jon Tester (MT-Sen), Harold Ford, Jr. (TN-Sen), and Ned Lamont (CT-Sen).

Help change the course with Jon, Harold, and Ned in these final days before the September 30th deadline. Contribute today!

Jon Tester

Jon Tester

Today, I am in Montana to support one of our strongest candidates to take over a Republican-held Senate seat, Jon Tester. Jon is an organic farmer from Big Sandy, MT, and for the last eight years has also been a State Senator and is currently the President of the Montana State Senate.

Jon is running against one of the worst Senators in Congress, Republican Conrad Burns. Burns received nearly $150,000 from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates, with Abramoff himself being quoted in Vanity Fair as saying, "Every appropriation we wanted from Senator Conrad Burns' committee we got." And what Senator tells a team of fire fighters who had traveled to Montana from Virginia to fight a major forest fire that they were "doing a piss-poor job"?

Montana is a state that President Bush carried by 20 points in 2004, yet Jon Tester is leading in the polls because of his authentic representation of Montana values.

Give me some good news to give to Jon Tester while I'm campaigning with him today. Click here to support Jon's campaign now!

Support Bruce, Carol, Joe, and Eric by contributing before the end of quarter deadline

When I'm on the campaign trail for candidates across the country, I hear it over and over again: Americans want an end to the Bush one-party government. The current rubber-stamp Congress doesn't serve the interests of the American public. It only serves the interests of George W. Bush, Karl Rove, and their right-wing friends.

You can change that right now and help Democrats "Take the Hill." 

Today, I'm asking you to help me raise $5,000 each for four great candidates before the September 30th fundraising deadline: Joe Sestak (PA-07), Bruce Braley (IA-01), Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01), and Eric Massa (NY-29). Each of these Democratic House candidates faces a Republican opponent with a huge campaign war chest. And I need you to help them close the gap.

Please help Joe, Bruce, Carol, and Eric "Take the Hill" this November by donating through my ActBlue page today!

ClarkCast 021 - The Security Of Our Elections

In the first of a two-part series, Clark supporter MSinLA interviews noted experts on the topic of elections and election security. In discussing a broad range of potential voting inaccuracies, these interviews tell us much about our current system and how it might be subverted. With the 2006 mid-term elections less than three months away, the integrity of our voting process is a crucial matter. We hope these interviews will motivate you to take action in your state to protect the integrity of our election system.

I know everyone is focused on the CT race. I am too. But no matter what happens tonight, remember today was a good day because Tom DeLay is dropping out. I kept telling folks this might happen and sure enough, DeLay doesn't want to face the voters. He'd prefer saving all that money for his legal defense fund. As all of us know, he's gonna need it. Go Nick Lampson.

Huge news. Just saw on TV. Will get news links when they appear. 5th Circuit just said Tom DeLay must stay on the ballot in TX-22. This race is back to being HUGE. You can give to Nick via WesPAC's ActBlue page: http://actblue.com/page/wespac
