Our efforts are being noticed by the pundits, the media, and activists across America with the Associated Press running a story about our movement and Clark's name coming up again on Meet the Press yesterday. And because of you, we now have 4,721 signers on our petition to form the Obama/Clark ticket!

We're gaining momentum, but we need to make a bigger statement. Right now, the media wants to keep effective surrogates out of our national discourse because they want to protect John McCain from real criticism. That's why we need Wes Clark as VP, and your help to put him there. That's why we've set a new goal of 10,000 signatures.

Help us reach 10,000 signatures by forwarding this message to your friends and family. Urge them to sign the petition at ObamaClark.com.

If your friends need any convincing, show them this clip of General Clark on Morning Joe:

Barack Obama and General Clark both opposed the Iraq War at a time when it was unpopular. And when McCain claims he "knows how to win wars," wouldn't it be great to counter with General Clark, who actually won a war and stopped a genocide in Kosovo without losing a single American life?

Now it is time that we send a message loud and clear that we want a Vice Presidential candidate who will support Barack Obama and Democratic candidates down the ballot across America.

With Barack Obama facing relentless attacks, General Clark has shown he has the courage to stand up to the Republican Smear Machine and the audacity to stand up for Barack and the American people.
