2. Lincoln's warning
In a November 21, 1864 letter to Colonel William F. Elkins, Lincoln wrote: "I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."

Edwards is the only candidate attempting to heed the warning from Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Eisenhower.

12. I support Edwards because...
he has clearly identified and "called out" the root cause of our failing democracy: Corporatocracy and institution of the modern-day American feudal system.

15. Barack is the ticket because clearly being endorsed by most Dems means
a smooth road to getting legislation passed and repair for the damaged caused in the last 7 years.
