Have Darcy's Back
Via email and posted to WesPAC (clearly General Clark is not "moving on" from helping Democrats!)
Politics is tough. So when one of our own is down, we have to have their back.
Last Tuesday morning, Darcy Burner, Congressional candidate in Washington's 8th district, had her home burn down. Darcy's 5-year-old son was awakened by the fire alarm in his room. He woke up his parents, and thankfully, the family escaped safely. However, Darcy's home was completely destroyed.
At this difficult time, Darcy needs to focus on her family as they work to get their lives back in order. That's what she should be doing -- what any of us would do after a similar tragedy.
But in Darcy's case, that means she can't fundraise, she can't campaign. And in an election as important and close as hers will be, every day she's off the campaign trail puts her at a disadvantage. She needs our help.
Every $5,000 dollars that we raise for Darcy gives her 1 extra day to take care of her family. So let's step up and show Darcy that we've got her back. Contribute to Darcy's campaign today!

Darcy is in a tight race and represents one of our best pickup opportunities in the House. She's going to be an advocate to bring our troops home from Iraq. She's going to stand strong to fight warrantless wiretapping and protect the Constitution.
We can't let this tragedy stop us from adding Darcy's voice to Congress. Though Darcy says she lost "just stuff," she needs time with her family now.
Help me give Darcy the time she needs. Every $5,000 we raise is another day Darcy can put down the phone for fundraising and focus on her family. Contribute to Darcy's campaign today!

One of the keys to our success over the years is that we stick together. We take care of each other. I am so proud to have supporters like you in the Clark community.
Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
P.S. I've heard from many of you over the past week, and I can't thank you enough for your support. Now help me support Darcy by contributing to her campaign today!
