This year, we're facing the most important election in a generation. As Americans, we must ask ourselves which candidate will bring about the change our country so desperately needs. In my opinion, Barack Obama is the only candidate with the judgment to move our country forward.
The disastrous consequences of George W. Bush's poor judgment over these last 7-+ years are all too apparent. Now, John McCain is offering 4 more years of Bush -- while Barack Obama offers the change in direction our country so desperately needs.
Barack had the judgment to oppose the war in Iraq before it began, and he is ready to bring our troops home and end the occupation of Iraq in a responsible way. John McCain has said that American troops should be willing to stay in Iraq for 100 years.
Barack will engage in the diplomacy that is necessary to bring stability to the Middle East. Just like George Bush, John McCain repeatedly resorts to saber-rattling and threats about invading Iran while revealing a startling ignorance of the basic issues that define the politics of the region.
Barack knows we have to invest in renewable energy to end America's dependence on foreign oil and fight global warming. And like George Bush, John McCain is in the pocket of big oil.
It's about judgment -- and I think the answer is clear.
Join me today. Support Barack Obama's campaign for change by making a contribution before the June 30 deadline!
While I respect John McCain's service, I know exactly what he stands for -- Bush's third term. And in national security terms, John McCain is largely untested and untried. He's never been responsible for policy formulation. John McCain is calculating that he will use the national security debate to his advantage. He's wrong.
Like Bush, McCain has always been for the use of force, force, and more force. In my experience, the only time to use force is as a last resort. When John McCain talks about throwing Russia out of the G8 and makes irresponsible comments about bombing Iran, he reveals his own disrespect for the office of the presidency.
And while he's all too willing to continue putting our troops in harm's way, John McCain initially refused to support providing benefits like the new GI Bill to our veterans because he believes that providing good education opportunities to our troops will hurt retention. That's ridiculous.
We need new leadership in the White House -- not George Bush's third term. Join me in supporting Barack Obama's campaign before the June 30th deadline!
Last week I sat down with Barack Obama. I know he's the right person to lead our country forward. Now we need to come together and support his campaign for change.
As I see the sacrifices our troops and their families make every day; as I see Americans buckling under the weight of record high gas prices; and as I see families struggling with sky rocketing health care costs, I know this:
We simply can't afford another 4 years of the McCain-Bush-Cheney agenda.
We must change the course of our country's future. We must elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States. Contribute today!
Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
P.S. The June 30th fundraising deadline is only 5 days away. It's a critical milepost where the press and the pundits will be looking at the strength of Barack Obama's grassroots-powered campaign against John McCain's lobbyist-powered campaign. Let's show America that Barack Obama has the strength, the momentum, and the resources to win this November. Contribute to Barack's campaign today!
