There are few bigger champions of Netroots Nation than Gen. Wesley Clark. For the third consecutive year, the retired four-star general will speak to our community as part of Thursday night’s program.

From his participation in the 2006 science panel at YearlyKos to last year's morning keynote in Chicago, Clark has been an active participant in the convention. And he was an early supporter of the movement, posting frequently at Daily Kos and gaining substantial support as a 2003 presidential candidate through the Netroots-driven DraftWesleyClark.com.

Attendees will have a chance to hear Clark speak Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m.
