Edwards Campaign Announces Holiday Ad Campaign
New ad reminds America to remember the less fortunate this holiday season
John Edwards for President
Wednesday, December 19, 2007
----
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – As the holiday season enters full swing, today the John Edwards for President campaign announced a special holiday television ad, "Season."

In the 30-second ad, which will begin airing on Sunday in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Edwards asks us to remember that one out of every four homeless people on our streets is a veteran and 37 million people in our country live in poverty. He challenges Americans to promise that never again will we forget those without a voice, because "in America, the chance to build a better life is a promise made to each of us, and the obligation to keep it rests with us all."

The full ad can be viewed here: http://johnedwards.com/ads/season

Full Transcript of "Season:"

One out of every four homeless people on our streets is a veteran.

Thirty-seven million Americans live in poverty.

Who speaks for them? We do.

This is the season of miracles, of faith and love.

So let us promise together: you will never be forgotten again.

We see you, we hear you, and we will speak for you.

In America, the chance to build a better life is a promise made to each of us, and the obligation to keep it rests with us all.

I'm John Edwards and I approved this message.

7. But, but, but another candidate is going to bring YOU presents...

right to your home! She's wrapping them now... What YOU should think about is what will make YOU happy! Presents!

You don't want to think about anyone else - especially not "the needy" during the Christmas season...

I think I'll stick with supporting Edwards!

John Edwards gets it.

11. Nice Holiday message from Edwards..

horseface says:

"Edwards wishes he was Obama"

"Edwards wishes he came from nowhere. Thats what his main problem is. He is talking the Obama talk without a core to support it. People can see it, that's why he'll lose and thats why he should bow down to Obama. The only reason Edwards should attack Obama is if he learns that Obama dosent want him as VP. That way he has nothing to lose."

12. Guess how long it took Tucker Carlson to bash it?

Guess...

[Apollo11]

13. How about helping ALL homeless people?

Or is it only important to help the veterans?

And who is the "we" who speaks for the poor?

Why can't poor people speak for themselves?

Kind of patronizing, if you ask me.
