Join Clark in helping Pryor...

[IA_Seth]

What all of our candidates should be worried about this early in the game...

---------

Dear Seth,

Help Mark Pryor fight back. Contribute to his campaign today!

Senator Mark Pryor is under attack.

17 months before election day, Karl Rove and the national Republicans are already throwing mud. Mark is one of Karl Rove's top targets for the 2008 cycle. Rove and the right-wing think they can take his seat from the Democrats, and they are already employing their dirty tricks to try to take him down.

Prove Karl Rove wrong. It's time to fight back for Mark. Will you join me and contribute to Senator Pryor's campaign before tomorrow's critical June 30th fundraising deadline?

Mark is not just my Senator here in Arkansas. In a U.S. Senate where Democrats hold the slimmest of margins, 51-49, Mark's Senate seat in Arkansas is essential to keeping Democratic control of the Senate. In just a few months of controlling Congress, we've passed ethics reform, raised the minimum wage, and have brought about Congressional oversight of the Bush Administration's policies and actions.

There's so much more work to be done in Congress, and Mark Pryor needs to be re-elected to represent all of us.

Please join me and help re-elect Senator Mark Pryor. Contribute to his campaign today!

Do you want to know why Karl Rove and his cronies started attacking Mark? They went after Mark because he voted for ethics reform!

This is what else Mark has done in the U.S. Senate:

Worked for our military personnel and their families to not only receive every benefit they have earned, but also expanded benefits for health care, education and training.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Mark helped lead the fight in Congress to force changes on the Bush Administration so that the federal response to natural disasters is skilled and reliable.
Worked from his position on the Senate Armed Services Committee to ensure that U.S. policy on the war is focused primarily on fully equipping and protecting the health and security of those soldiers.
As Chairman of the Consumer Relations Subcommittee, led the fight for increased consumer protections against telemarketers and identity theft.
We need Mark to stay right where he is -- fighting for us in the U.S. Senate. Please make a contribution to his campaign before the critical June 30th deadline!

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

P.S. This campaign is one of my top priorities in 2008. So please contribute whatever you can to lead Mark to victory in 2008.

1. kick eom

2. Not fond of Pryor

He was one of the Democrats that endorsed non-Democrat Joe Lieberman in the General Election.

However, I guess we need him to maintain a majority. I didn't think this was one of our dangered seats for 2008. Blanche Lincoln won pretty easily last time.

[LiberalArkie]

3. Weird, both Lincoln and Pryor vote conservative every time.

[MalloyLiberal]

4. NO

Pryor is a traitor to the Dem party.

[Cameron27]

8. But we need to keep the majority in Congress.

[MalloyLiberal]

14. "We"? No. He does not stand with the people

He gives them the finger.

F him.

[ArkySue]

5. I don't think Pryor's seat is in jeopardy from the Repubs...

With his voting record he may as well be one.

I love Gen. Clark but I don't get his endorsement of Pryor...after all, there is no opponent yet. (I'm praying for a progressive Dem to take him out in the primary) Yeah, I know, wishful thinking. <sigh>

[snowbear]

6. I'd rather join Pryor in helping Clark...

... too bad that's not what the plea for help was.

[Spirochete]

7. If he was replaced by a repug

would anyone even notice? He's just Lieberman with a shorter name.

[dsc]

9. Yea I think we would notice if instead of Chairman Leahy

we had Chairman Hatch. Yea I think we might notice if we had Chairman Imhofe instead of Chairwoman Boxer. I could go on, do I really need to?

[Spirochete]

11. No need

If we don't have enough of a majority that Lieberman and Pryor don't make much difference after next year's elections, we are in bad trouble anyway.

[MalloyLiberal]

15. Correct

[jenmarie]

12. Exactly!

Wasn't thrilled with the email request from Clark, but I know him to be a man who puts country before party, and for him to prioritize this race says enough for me. Clark worked non-stop in '05 and '06 to make sure Dems won back the majority. Considering we may be looking at another Republic president in 2009, I think we need to be focusing as much on congressional races and building our majority as we can. I'm in.

10. I think Wes is a more than decent guy, but he's wrong on Pryor.

Pryor is one of the "Gang of Fourteen" DINOs.

No thanks.

13. My problem with Pryor

He was a co-chairman of the DSCC, whose primary job is to elect Democrats to the Senate. AFAIK, Lieberman is no longer a Democrat. Therefore, it seems paradoxical for him to co-chair an organization designed to help Democrats while refusing to endorse the party's nominee in Connecticut.

[Totally Committed]

17. I agree, but the "Gang of fourteen" thing is my overriding objection to helping elect this man

to office. I would gladly support any electable (real) Democrat who runs against him, but he will never see a penny of my money, or a minute of my support, no matter how much a respect the person who is asking for it.

16. Well I certainly hope the seat stays Democratic,

but I think I may have to "keep my powder dry" on this one.
