A Draft Clark meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday in the Little B's Mexican Food & Steak House banquet room, 1052 Harrison St., to support Arkansas native and retired four-star Gen. Wesley K. Clark as he considers a run for the White House.

The meetings, which are being organized by Arkansans for Clark, will give supporters of Clark the opportunity to get involved in a national grassroots campaign to encourage him to run for president.

Supporters of Clark and others who are interested in his possible candidacy are invited. Daniel Colclasure and Nealon DeVore, co-chairs of the Faulkner County Committee for Clark, will be the hosts.

According to Draft Clark 2004, a national political action committee that is a partner of Arkansans for Clark, more than 100 Draft Clark MeetUps will be held across the nation on Monday.

On Aug. 4, five Arkansas meetings were held in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Monticello and Mountain View that were attended by 300 Clark supporters in the state.

Citizens are also invited to sign an Arkansans for Clark online petition by visiting www.arkansansforclark.com. More information is available at www.draftclark2004.com.

Clark retired from the Army in 2000 after a 34-year career that culminated with his role as Supreme Allied Commander of NATO during the Bosnia war and Commander in Chief of the U.S. European Command. He is a Vietnam veteran who was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart. In 2000, President Clinton awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.
