White House Snapshot


 

An Interview You Should Watch:

Whenever challenges face the world, one fact is clear: The world looks to the United States.

Last night, in an interview with 60 Minutes, President Obama explained why the United States is “the indispensable nation” when trouble arises in the world. From responding to humanitarian crises to confronting terrorism, America leads.

a personal message from General (Ret.) Wesley Clark


I’ve been a VoteVets advisor since their launch in 2006, and I can’t remember a more decisive ad than the one featuring Vietnam Veteran Charles Erwin hammering Mitch McConnell for his vote to block improvements to VA care during a time of crisis.

In the coming weeks, VoteVets is set to launch similarly powerful ads in several states with critical Senate elections.

When the clock strikes midnight, they’ll close the books on their final fundraising deadline and start to make decisions about how far they can push these ads. I hope you’ll stand with me and make a $5 contribution to VoteVets today.

Thanks for standing with me and supporting VoteVets.

All the best,

General (Ret.) Wesley Clark
