Calling all Clark supporters!!
I live in TN and for the past few days have been working my rear off for Clark and the campaign. I've made over 300 phone calls to the residents of TN to get their views and stand on the upcoming primary. I'm doing my part, but it isn't nearly enough. We have a strong volunteer squad in Knoxville, but there are so many more things that need to happen. Wes has a pretty big support here, but what I'm running into is that most people who are undecided are, of course, relying on the media to make their decisions.

We need your help. We need letters and callers (that would be willing). After the event last night (Wes was in Knoxville at Calhoun's on the river to talk to a crowd of 100+ before he was off to the Lady Vols/UConn game), I'm even more convinced that he is the man for the job. For those of you who've met/heard him speak, you know the kind of command he takes over the room and the amazing aura he has surrounding him. So, I'm pleading for help. I think TN is really important right now and I need help letting my state know how much of an impact Wes Clark could make if given the opportunity. Thanks for your time!

2. Here's to hoping!
Thanks! Last night was a really positive thing for Wes. I heard a lot of responses from people that were undecided who, because of him coming, have no decided to vote Clark. Check out this article in the local newspaper. http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/election/article/0,1406,KNS_630_2633895,00.html

3. thanks for the link :)
<<Hickman, a Republican who also voted for Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen, said Bush's handling of the war in Iraq and the ballooning deficit pushed him away from the president>>>

I think Clark has the opportunity to pick up quite a few votes this way. Bush is going down.

4. You're welcome!
Definitely think it was a big thing for him. Plus a lot of people respect that he even took the time to go to the Lady Vols game, doesn't hurt that ESPN was covering the game. :)

SEND BUSH OUT THE DOOR IN '04! That's what it's all about.

8. Most do...
But then there are some who could care less and think he's "not in first so I'm not wasting my vote." So hopefully last night persuaded them!

9. That's wonderful!
I really think that it's going to be the calls/letters that will have the most influence on the undecided voters. GO YOU!

6. I'm on my way to Tennessee from Illinois!
I am waiting to find out EXACTLY where we are needed the most. I have NO idea where I'll be, but I'll be somewhere in Tennessee helping the campaign! :)

Go Tennessee!

Go Wes!
