Wes Clark and the DCCC want us to let George Bush know that Americans support a change of direction in Iraq.
We want a New Direction in Iraq and, together, we need to show that the American people support the Democratic plan for change in Iraq. That is why I am joining the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in telling the President not to veto the Democratic plan for change in Iraq and to treat our troops with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Wes Clark spent 34 years in the US Army, is a highly decorated veteran of war, a successful businessman - and a true American hero. He is on the advisory board of VoteVets.org and a founding member and advisor to IAVA - Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
I've spent my entire professional career standing up for our men and women in uniform. I have carefully reviewed and considered the Democrats' plan for change in Iraq. More than any bill passed by the previous Republican Rubber Stamp Congress, it ensures our troops have the training and equipment they need - and our veterans get the services they deserve.
What it doesn't do, however, is give George W. Bush a blank check to continue his strategy for failure in Iraq.

George Bush has spent spring break cutting brush and using America's military as a backdrop for his usual lies and deceptions about Iraq. President Bush went to Fort Irwin to find his captive audience. According to some reports President Bush was greeted with "strange quiet" in response to his usual applause lines.
I can tell you it's not only civilians who want a New Direction. Generals on the ground and Pentagon officials know we cannot succeed if we stay the course. The President is increasingly becoming more isolated in his stay-the-course strategy.

It is time for Americans to speak directly to President Bush. Send him a message that "you stand with Democrats and insist on a new direction in Iraq". Wes Clark wants to send 50,000 signatures to President Bush before April 20th.
