[Music] Male Announcer:  The boy was nearly four when his father died.  His mother gathered him up, returned home to Arkansas.  She found a job as a secretary in a  bank.  It didn't pay much, but that job kept their heads above water -  and held them together. 

So is it any wonder that Wes Clark's proposals and plans for jobs and our economy are bold and real.  Wes Clark will never forget, what one job can mean to a family's life and young child's hopes. 

Wes Clark:  I'm Wes Clark and I approve this message.
