Wes Clark still raising money for Charlie Brown
And of course, if there’s still elections, there’s still fund-raising. Democrat Charlie Brown, who is trailing by about 700 votes for the seat of retiring Rep. John Doolittle, raised $6,000 this morning from an email appeal sent by Wesley Clark’s political action committee. “Charlie’s opponent, Tom McClintock, has hired an election attorney and brought in a team of lawyers to ‘watch’ the locations where absentee and provisional ballots are being counted,” the email said, directing recipients toward the Democratic fund-raising Web site ActBlue.
Gen. Clark's email:
Our friend Charlie Brown needs our help. The margin in California's 4th Congressional District is razor thin, and they're still counting votes. After more than 300,000 ballots were cast in CA-04, the race is tied. The current difference stands at less than half of 1% (less than 500 votes).With 40,000 vote-by-mail and provisional ballots still to be counted, the race is way too close to call. That's why it's critical for us to make sure all the votes are counted in CA-04.

Charlie's opponent, Tom McClintock, has hired an election attorney and brought in a team of lawyers to "watch" the locations where absentee and provisional ballots are being counted. McClintock's team is doing everything they can to challenge the votes of thousands of people who faithfully cast their ballots.
Charlie needs our help to fight back.

In 2006, the WesPAC community's support carried Charlie to within 3 points of victory. Charlie, a 26-year military veteran who served from Vietnam to the Gulf War, will be a strong advocate for our veterans and an important voice to end the war in Iraq.
His opponent never served, has accumulated the worst voting record on military and veterans issues in the California legislature, and yet had the gall to attack Charlie's patriotism with blatant lies and innuendo.
There's too much at stake. It's critical we ensure all the votes are counted in CA-04.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
