Who We Are
Since it launched, DraftWesleyClark.com has spurred tens of thousands of letters to
General Clark, urging him to run for president. It has gained
national and international media coverage on TV (CBS, NBC, CNN),
in print, online, and on radio. And it has helped to launch local Clark chapters ("MeetUps")
in over 100 cities across America. As hard as we have worked,
however, we believe the real credit for the explosion of this
movement belongs to General Clark himself -- who has shown
himself to be a powerfully compelling alternative to the current
roster of candidates.
We are not affiliated with Wesley
Clark -- we are just impressed by his solid record of leadership
and achievement. Former supreme commander of NATO. First in his
class at West Point. Vietnam combat veteran. A Rhodes Scholar. A
necessary voice of common sense and moderation on the
foreign policy front. We like what we see -- and we want to see
more.
