Dear supporter,
It’s an exciting time to be a Democrat.

While ending my campaign was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made, seeing the unified spirit and energy of Democrats around the country confirms that it was the right decision at the right time.  Now that two weeks have passed, I hope you too can appreciate just how important our work has been.
But please realize how much work is ahead for all of us.
So that I may properly transfer the incredible support, energy and resources of my campaign to the eventual Democratic nominee, I need you, one of my most loyal and generous supporters, to help today. The costs of shutting down a national organization are costly.  I can assure you that we have a strong team working on this matter quickly and cost effectively.
Your personal contribution of $50 or $100 right now will help us close the books on my campaign and will allow us to focus our complete attention and resources on the great challenge ahead.
I am eager to do everything I can to help defeat George W. Bush, and I’m asking you to please stand with me now and in the weeks and months ahead.  The Republican attacks are just starting, but together we can silence them with the facts and our vision for a better America for our families.
Over the coming days we will be treated to an intense debate between the remaining candidates.  It is a valuable debate about the issues we face, and the American people are listening.  Voter turnout is setting new records across the country.  Together, we stand poised to win in November – and we will.
So, as things wrap up in Little Rock, I’m back on the campaign trail this week in support of Senator Kerry.  Please help my campaign one last time, and then join me in actively supporting Democratic candidates everywhere with all the passion and enthusiasm you showed during my campaign.
Ours is truly one of the great movements of American political history.  We will not be forgotten, and with your help today, our drive to change America will continue.
With great appreciation,

Wes Clark

Dear loyal supporter,
With the results of Tuesday’s primaries in Texas, Mississippi, Florida, and Louisiana, and after a spirited series of primaries and caucuses in more than 34 states, John Kerry has clinched the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.
Never before in history has our party stood so united, so determined, so early.  Never before has our party been so ready, so soon, so confident in who we are, what we believe, and how we are going to make this great country even greater.  And now, with John Kerry, we are ready to lead this nation forward.
I’m proud to be standing with John Kerry -- a real American patriot, a true statesman, a great leader, and the next President of the United States.  I’m doing my part to make sure that he wins this fall, including making calls, appearing on news shows, and reaching out to voters.  Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve campaigned in Georgia and Kansas.  Next week I’ll be campaigning for John Kerry in the key swing-state of Ohio, and I’m looking forward to helping much more in the weeks and months to follow.
And I’m proud that so many of you are standing with us to fight for America’s future.  The response from friends like you, and millions of other Democrats, has been overwhelming.  Throughout my campaign, and especially over the past few weeks, I’ve witnessed first-hand in people everywhere the passion and enthusiasm we need to change America.
You have already played a critical role in this great national debate:  you got me into this race, you carried our message throughout your community, and you supported my campaign from beginning to end.  This process of debating the issues, motivating grassroots support, bringing new people into the party, and choosing our nominee has been great for the Democratic Party.  And now we will close ranks behind John Kerry, committed to do all that we can to win back the White House this November.
But we still need your help -- today, this week, this month, and through November -- to elect John Kerry this fall.  Here are just a few things I’d ask you to do:
° Join your local Kerry 2004 Meetup.   Bring your knowledge and experience in grassroots organizing to the next Kerry 2004 Meetup on Thursday, March 25th.  Your work through local Meetups played a critical role in our campaign, and they will be important to John Kerry’s victory this fall.  We will win this election one community at a time, one vote at a time, and Meetups can really help.
° Visit www.JohnKerry.com.  Learn more about John Kerry, his stands on the issues, and how you can get more involved in his campaign.
° Get involved with your local Democratic party.   Help organize local outreach events and voter registration drives.
° Reach out to friends and family.  Talk to everyone you know about the importance of this fall’s election, and invite them to get involved with you.
° Stay tuned for coming news about my future plans.   I’m finalizing the details on these activities, and I’ll be telling you more about them in the next few weeks.  We’ll need your help to take action at a local level and across the country, supporting John Kerry and Democrats everywhere in bringing a higher standard of leadership to America.
As always, thanks so much for your continued support.  I look forward to working with all of you to elect John Kerry this November and make America an even better, safer, stronger, and more prosperous nation.
Best regards,

Wes Clark
