John Edwards Responds to Me

This is what arrived in my lisain08@hotmail.com junk folder today. I used the contact me form on his web page. I said:

Hi John: www.lisastruckingadventure.com

The response:

Dear lisa,

The response to Senator Edwards' announcement last week was incredible.Everywhere we went, high-energy crowds of thousands turned out to hear John talk about building one America, where everyone has the opportunity to succeed -- starting with guaranteeing universal health care, ending poverty in thirty years, creating a new energy economy, and restoring America's moral leadership in the world. Online, more than a hundred thousand people have participated in virtual town halls and watched the New Orleans launch. We're off to a great start.But we need your help to keep the momentum going and get the word out to millions more. This campaign is about all of us, about our dreams for a better country and our commitment to making it happen. The best way to spread the word and build our momentum is for people in your area -- and around the nation -- to hear from you: what does your dream for America look like, and why do you support John Edwards' campaign for change?

We have all the tools you'll need to write and submit your letter online -- or to upload your own video to YouTube -- and it only takes a few minutes.Why is sharing your story of support important? Because people in your community and the media in Washington need to know that Americans really care about ending poverty and strengthening the middle class, about universal health care, global warming and restoring our moral authority in the world.The cynics don't believe it. After so many years of watching Washington cater to powerful interests and big corporations, they don't think the American people have the power to fundamentally change our country.But we know better. We heard from thousands of Americans last week about our need to work together to change America.Writing your story of support in a letter to the editor or explaining it in a video on YouTube is the perfect way to tell the world why you're ready to take action to change America. It only takes a few minutes to record a short video or write a short letter to the editor.Please share your story today.

Thank you for taking action.

John Edwards knows a lot about poverty, after all, he’s helped throw a lot of people into it with:

- his co-sponsorship of H-1b visas,

- his support for illegal aliens,

- his vote for MFN-China

but what about stuff like iraq war and the patriot act?

well, he voted for them too

About the only thing you can say for Edwards is, he spent so much time running for president that he didnt have time to do more damage as senator

You’ve got to ask yourself - ‘what did he do, with the power he had, when he had it?
