Clark for President

"Prepared"
30-second TV spot run in OK, AZ, ND and NM starting Jan. 31, 2004.
 

Joe Slade White
 

Male Announcer: Everything has changed.  Americans want a president who is prepared to deal with threats to our security--those we know and those we don't.

Who has the experience to protect us?

It's an important question.

Wes Clark has dedicated his life to defending our security, our principles.  He's led armies, forged coalitions, and helped negotiate a peace.

At a time like this, don't we need a president like that?

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