Well, I’ve never know the General to back down from a fight. This latest email from WesPac provides proof that Wes is in this battle for the long haul, regardless of rightwing attacks against him.
Update
Thanks so much for putting this on the Recommended Diaries list. Why do I like Clark so much?
In 2004, we were fortunate to have been invited to a well-known celebrity’s home for a General Clark fundraiser. The place was filled with the Hollywood elite and a few politicians (about 200-300 attended), but the general took the time for small talk with my wife and I. In fact, during our conversation, the California State Insurance Commissioner interrupted and introduced himself, but Clark chose to continue his visit with us. That's the way General Clark is, he treats everyone the same, with dignity and respect. I encourage everyone to write to Obama and let him know how YOU feel!
A little over a month ago, following my appearance on Face the Nation, the right wing freak machine took me out of context, attacked me, and just wanted me to "hit the road."
Well, I'm here to tell you: I'm not going away.
We simply have too much to do in these final three months. We have to elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States. And we have to give him a working majority in Congress. So let's give the right wing what they asked for. I'm ready to "hit the road" and help Democrats across the country!
I'm committed to doing everything I can to help Democrats win this November. I've opened up my schedule and am ready to hit the campaign trail across the country. That's why I'm traveling across the country over the coming weeks.
I can only do this if WesPAC has the financial resources to keep me on the road these final three months. That's why we started the "Hit The Road Fund." I need your help to make sure I can stay on the campaign trail to help folks like Charlie Brown (CA-4), Eric Massa (NY-29), and Bob Tuke (TN-Sen).
I've set a goal of raising $25,000 by this Friday. Make a contribution to our "Hit The Road Fund" today!

When people hit you, you have to hit back. I won't back away from a fight, and over the years we've gotten to know each other, I know you won't either. Please contribute to our "Hit The Road Fund" today!
Electing the right people this November will be critical to securing America's future. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
I've had the pleasure of meeting Wes Clark. I can assuredly say that, in spite of pressure to go easy on McSame and his GOP cronies, Wes Clark will always tell it like it is!
