"So who's giving the big bucks to the Clark campaign, huh?"

The ad was made by the people at DraftWesleyClark, which is not affilited with the General directly.

"In the 4 months 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. It has raised over $500,000 in pledges 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."

"(Washington, DC), August 13, 2003- DraftWesleyClark.com, the campaign to draft former General Wesley Clark for President, today announced that it is launching a television ad campaign in key primary states. The 60-second ad, “Preserve, Protect and Defend,” was funded by donations from Clark supporters. Even in advance of its launch, it has already gained significant national attention. Portions of the ad will be shown this Thursday (tomorrow) on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
