Wes Clark says "Take the Hill"

From an email:

When I'm on the campaign trail for candidates across the country, I hear it over and over again: Americans want an end to the Bush one-party government. The current rubber-stamp Congress doesn't serve the interests of the American public. It only serves the interests of George W. Bush, Karl Rove, and their right-wing friends.

You can change that right now and help Democrats "Take the Hill."

Today, I'm asking you to help me raise $5,000 each for four great candidates before the September 30th fundraising deadline: Joe Sestak (PA-07), Bruce Braley (IA-01), Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01), and Eric Massa (NY-29). Each of these Democratic House candidates faces a Republican opponent with a huge campaign war chest. And I need you to help them close the gap.

Please help Joe, Bruce, Carol, and Eric "Take the Hill" this November by donating through my ActBlue page today!

Former 3-star Admiral Joe Sestak is locked in a tight battle in Pennsylvania's 7th District against Republican incumbent Curt Weldon. Current polls show the race tied, making this a great pickup opportunity for the Democrats this year. Joe Sestak has the leadership and experience needed to battle the toughest issues both at home and abroad and will serve honorably in Congress. He knows first hand what it takes to keep this country safe, and he has the vision and know-how to foster opportunities for all Americans. Joe Sestak is a rare candidate who has the experience and the opportunity to bring change to Congress.

Joe is an exceptional candidate who we need in Washington. But he's running in the expensive Philadelphia media market, and he needs your help! I'll be campaigning with Joe on September 29th. Help me bring a message to Joe when I see him that the Clark Community is behind him. Contribute to Joe's campaign by the end-of-quarter fundraising deadline!

Iowa native Bruce Braley is running in the state's 1st district, an open seat and one of the most competitive races in the country. I met Bruce on my last trip to Iowa, and he is clearly a man who will stand up to the special interests on behalf of working families in Washington. Bruce will work to raise the minimum wage, establish a universal pension that employees can take with them from job to job, and replace today's harmful trade policies with fair trade laws that are good for American workers.

This seat is the Democrats' #1 pickup opportunity. But Republicans know this too, and they're already dumping millions into this race to support Republican Mike Whalen. I urge you to support Bruce Braley's campaign with a donation before the September 30th fundraising deadline!

Carol Shea-Porter is a candidate who I know very well, as she worked for my campaign for President in New Hampshire in 2004! Carol is coming off a very impressive grassroots-driven victory in the Democratic primary earlier this month, giving her crucial momentum as she heads towards a November showdown with Republican incumbent Jeb Bradley. Carol is running for the rest of us -- to help stop the greed, the corruption, and the reckless spending of the current Republican leadership and its Members of Congress.

Carol was one of my strongest supporters in 2004, and it is my pleasure to support her candidacy this year. She'll be a strong and capable voice for us in Washington, something we need now more than ever. Please contribute to her campaign and help send a member of the Clark Community to Congress!

I've written to you before about my friend, Fighting Dem Eric Massa (NY-29). Eric was my Military Aide, and I have personally witnessed his remarkable character and his tremendous leadership abilities. Eric is a fighter. He'll take that same spirit that helped him beat cancer to the halls of Congress.

Your previous support for Eric helped jumpstart his campaign, and he's closed the gap with his opponent, Randy Kuhl -- a rubber-stamp Republican who has voted with the GOP leadership 93% of the time. It's time for us to put Eric over the top. Please contribute to his campaign today!

These campaigns are making their final decisions on television ad buys and field strategies. Please give them a boost in these last days before the September 30th fundraising deadline.

Thank you for providing Joe, Bruce, Carol, and Eric the resources they need to spread their message and fight back against the inevitable attacks from their opponents.

Sincerely,

Wes Clark
