Support & Endorsements



	"I have been moved by John Edward's willingness to provide specifics and to roll up his sleeves and get involved in a meaningful way, versus echoing empty rhetoric." Rboleyn "So hopeful, so optimistic, so relieved to see J.E. back in the action!" bikerbriguy78 "John Edwards all the way. Courage, guts, and decency. The press can't find a hint of a financial, moral, or marital scandal about him, so they focus on the price of his haircuts. Ridiculous." redding888 "I am proud to endorse my friend, John. He has always stood to fight for real change in women's lives—working tirelessly to raise the minimum wage, end poverty & guarantee universal healthcare." Former New Mexico Attorney General Patricia Madrid "I support the Edwards campaign because I believe he tells us the truth. I believe America needs Edwards at this point in our history because we have had so much to be cynical about for so long. Anybody who says, "I think all politicians are crooks" or "there's no difference between a Republican and a Democrat" needs to have another good look at Edwards. He's different. I feel strongly that my children need Edwards to make them proud about being Americans again. I don't want my kids to have to worry about traveling with an American passport, like I do. When you come from humble beginnings, the way he (and I) did, it is difficult to feel completely happy with your own good fortune when you see others suffering around you. The empathy is built in when you've been there yourself. I believe that this man really does understand and wants to help the working class have a better life. He wants to do the right thing for America. I believe that." AlphaPaint1 "John Edwards is the only candidate I can really get behind. He is the only candidate to talk meaningfully about class and poverty, and his health care proposal is the best I've seen. As long as Clinton and Obama keep playing it safe, refusing to take a stand, and bowing to religionists, Edwards will get my vote." LucyStone "I support progressive candidates who speak to populist values. I believe John Edwards to be such a candidate." BduPree "Our country cannot keep going in such a negative direction, and I feel that it is not all right to just complain about it, it's up to every person to help make a positive change. That is why I support John Edwards." demkitten "I believe in John Edwards and his message. I admire him & I think he will be a strong president. He can guide the country in the right direction. He reminds me of Bobby Kennedy. I hope to be of some help to him and the campaign on the grassroots level." PoliGirl "Obama has a compelling theme of Hope. Clinton has a persuasive resume and impressive organizational prowess. But John Edwards, who has put the candid back in candidate, has what each of them lacks - a defined message and specific agenda." Mark Shields "...being from NC I know a little about John, his work ethic and positions...it's time to return to an energized grass roots...politics from the ground up!" chefus
