	A Message from Wes Clark December 2, 2004
	Dear Loyal Supporter, The holiday season is here, but the election season isn't over yet.  So it is with great urgency that I write you today.  My friend, Charlie Melancon, won a place on this Saturday's Louisiana run-off ballot for a seat in Congress, and he needs your help in these final few hours before the election. Charlie Melancon is a native Louisianan who has the experience to get the job done in Washington.  As a state legislator and community leader, he's fought to improve schools and provide our families with health care.  As former president of the American Sugar Cane League, Charlie has the expertise to create and protect jobs in Louisiana. Charlie will be a strong advocate for our military and veterans in Congress. He has already received the endorsement of Veterans Vision and other veterans' organizations. Without a record to run for Congress, his opponent Billy Tauzin, III, is depending on his father's name and the national Republican Party's negative attack machine to win the election.  The contrast in experience between Charlie and Billy Tauzin could not be clearer -- if we can just get the message out to the voters. Now, in the final three days of the campaign, Charlie is combating the vicious smear campaign that targeted so many Democrats on November 2nd.  But with your help, we can fight back and take back this Republican House seat on Saturday. Join me in helping Charlie take his positive message to the voters so that he can serve Louisiana and America in Congress.  The November 2nd elections did not turn out the way we had hoped.  That's why we can't stop fighting now.  On Saturday, we can send a message to Tom Delay and the right-wing attack machine by electing Charlie Melancon to Congress. Thank you so much for your continued support and hard work.  Let's make our voices heard in Louisiana! Sincerely, Wes Clark

Thought I would pass this along - recieved it this morning.

Just letting Freepers, especially Lousiana folks know what the Left is saying about the runoff

[Neville72]

Go away General, your time has come and gone!

Wes Clark, the name sounds vaguely familiar.

Didn't he date Madonna or something?

[1Old Pro]

"Charlie will be a strong advocate for our military and veterans in Congress"

Doesn't he support our military and vets who are not in Congress?

[RexBeach]

Boy, Charlie must be pretty desperate to accept an endorsement from Wes Clark. These endorsements rarely work anyway.

[Cincinatus]

Wasn't he that obnoxious kid on the Starship Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation?

[Lurking in Kansas]

Wes who?

[monkapotamus]

"Charlie has the expertise to stop my precious bodily fluids from being sapped and impurified."

[GianniV]

Um - General Clark, you may want to focus on cleaning up the mess that you created in the Balkans.

[Agrarian]

Army officers who served under him hated him. He was a partisan hack who wouldn't have made it to first base in the big-time without Clinton's patronage.

[Shermy]

General Clark jumped the shark in 1999 when he let that english General guy walk all over him and stop World War III from happening.

Wimp.

[OldFriend]

Slick willie drug him up from the bottom of the heap and kicked him back to the bottom of the heap.

[You Dirty Rats]

Why isn't John Kerry stumping in Louisiana? He still is the 'Rat candidate for President, who may yet win if Ohio is overturned (ha-ha). I think John would be REALLY popular down there, not to mention his sassy wife. He should take Teddy while he's at it -- that would clinch the election for certain.

[jamaly]

Wes Clark can kiss my grits. Dick Cheney was in Louisiana yesterday backing Billy Tauzin III. Somehow I think V.P. Cheney has more gravitas that Ashley Wilkes Clark.

This campaign has become incredibly vicious and probably will be a squeaker.

[LtKerst]

General Wes Clark, who other Generals said was so insane that he almost started WW3 in Bosnia.

[Search4Truth]

The Tauzin family are of the finest sort. His dad just won a Senate seat. God bless him. We need more good Americans like him on the national level representing the good folks of Louisiana.

As usual, the smear campaign they refer to is Tauzin pointing out the differences between he and is opponent, which dems never like like you to do. Interferes with their propaganda.

We don't cotton much to Yankees coming down here and messin with our politics. Could end up as gator bait.

[AndyTheBear]

not to mention his sassy wife

And if Kerry somehow doesn't win the Ohio recount, the Democrats could make her the candidate in 2008. (don't tell the lurkers how afraid we are of that scenario).

[California Patriot]

Does anyone have any useful knowledge about how these two races are going? Are we going to win either of them? Both of them?

[You Dirty Rats]

We're actually very afraid. I hope they don't amend the Constitution to allow her to run, because she would win the nomination and Ah-Nold would win ours. Ah-Nold would have no chance against THK!
