Yesterday, I was in Virginia to formally endorse Jim Webb, a good friend, true patriot, and fellow veteran who is challenging Republican George Allen for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
Today, I'm asking you to join me in pledging Jim our full support in this important race.
Please contribute to Jim's campaign today!
http://www.actblue.com/page/wespacI first met Jim Webb back in 1982, when a West Point classmate of mine brought us together to discuss the idea of building a memorial for our Vietnam veterans on the National Mall. From our first meeting over two decades ago, and ever since, I've come to know Jim as a smart, tough, and principled patriot.
Like me, Jim Webb was drafted into politics. Thousands of Virginians, in search of a real leader to represent them in the Senate, created a grassroots movement to encourage him to jump into the race. On March 7th, Jim answered their call to serve our country once again -- and now he has just three months to introduce himself to Virginia Democrats before the June 13th primary.
I remember well your support of me when I was drafted into the Presidential race. To this very day, I'm humbled and gratified by your faith in me.
In 2003, your financial support allowed our campaign to hit the ground running. Now, I am asking you to do the same for Jim.
Contribute to Jim Webb's campaign today -- before the March 31st quarterly fundraising deadline!
http://www.actblue.com/page/wespacJim Webb is a real leader Virginians can count on. He will put the interests of the people of this great state first and will take his fight to the floor of the Senate. He won't back down from any challenge, and he will focus on the job he is elected to do.
Jim is a decorated Marine, winner of the Navy Cross, and former Secretary of the Navy. As a soldier, Jim was a legendary fighter. As a citizen, Jim has been a principled and persuasive leader. Now, as a Senate candidate, Jim is the only candidate with the experience and skills to broaden our party and win in November.

http://www.actblue.com/page/wespacJim opposed the Iraq War from the beginning. He understood that Iraq did not represent an imminent threat and knew that going to war in Iraq would cause us to lose our focus on the global war on terrorism.
We need Jim to fight to reshape our defense and foreign policy to better reflect the strategic priorities of the country, to rebuild national infrastructure and secure our borders, to work hard to bring true economic and social fairness to our society, and to restore the Constitutional role of the Congress as an equal partner, reining in the unbridled power of the Presidency.
We need Jim's voice of wisdom and reason in the United States Senate. But he needs our help to get there.
Please join me in pledging your full support for Jim Webb. Contribute $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can afford to his campaign now, before the March 31st deadline!
