Let's be grateful there's Wes Clark

Wes Clark is popping up in a lot of important places. With superb ideas. Here's one example, Clark's take on health care — single payer! — with the force of his creative intellect behind it. I knew there was a reason I didn't give up my WEZPREZ license plates!

The good General is making appearances in California this week...a Thursday evening fundraiser in San Francisco (details here). And, on Saturday in Los Angeles, two events (information, below the fold, courtesy of Michael Webber, president of the 4-Star Democratic Club):

General Clark will be active in the Los Angeles area on February 4th at a huge Rally to Take Back the House during the day and a fundraiser reception that evening.

At the FREE rally on February 4th General Wesley Clark will be joined by Stephanie Miller of LA's Progressive Talk AM 1150 to inspire the troops and lead the charge to take back the House of Representatives in 2006!

We are bringing Democrats together from all over Southern California to support Democrat Francine Busby, who is running for indicted Republican Duke Cunningham's old seat (CA-50) in a special election April 11th. Democratic candidates in red districts across Southern California will unite behind her by sending “Buses For Busby”— filled with local activists—to San Diego this Spring to help win this first important battle in the war to clean up the House and reclaim a majority for Democrats.
