The Bush administration's prosecution of the Iraq war and its handling of the needs of members of the military, active and inactive, were the topics of the day at Veterans for Claire's final stop.

Retired General Wesley Clark and State Auditor Claire McCaskill spoke to a group of veterans, many wearing McCaskill stickers, at American Legion Memorial Post 103 in Mapelwood.

McCaskill thanked the assembled veterans for their service, saying she respected the sacrifices of all veterans, including Rep. Jack Jackson (R-89), a retired Marine colonel, who she said had been publicly criticizing her.

Pelosi and Clark to Address College Democrats of America Convention

July 7, 2006

Today, College Democrats of America (CDA) announced that House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and General Wesley Clark will address this year's CDA convention. Leader Pelosi and General Clark will speak about the importance of the youth vote and how young people can get involved in the upcoming mid-term elections. They will join the line-up of other Democratic speakers including DNC Chairman Howard Dean and Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack. The CDA convention will be held on the campus of St. Louis University in St. Louis, Mo.

This will be the first time CDA will hold it convention outside of Washington, DC during a mid-term election year. Holding this year's convention outside the beltway is consistent with Democratic efforts to organize and reach out several months before the election, while running a 50 state strategy that refuses to take any vote for granted.
