John Edwards: A Heart for America

By John Edwards | Wednesday, February 21, 2007

Somewhere in America, an eight-year-old girl goes to sleep hungry, a little girl who ought to be drawing pictures and learning multiplication cries herself to sleep, praying that her father, who has been out of work for two years, will get a job again. It doesn't’t have to be that way.

Somewhere in America, a hotel housekeeper walks a picket line with her union brothers and sisters fighting for decent health care benefits during the day and works the late-shift at a diner at night so that she and her family can live a decent life and so her boy can go to college and have choices she never had.

And somewhere, a young man folds a college acceptance letter and puts it in his drawer because even with his part-time job and his mother’s second job, he knows he cannot afford to go. It doesn't’t have to be that way.

It doesn't have to be this way

Everyone matters

We are Americans, and we’re better than that.

The time for half-measures, empty promises and sweet rhetoric is gone. Now is the time for courage, decisiveness and moral leadership.

It’s time to stand up for the promise of America again — and for the principle that every American matters, no matter where you come from, or what color your skin is, or how much money you have in your pocket.

My thoughts - if this country is stronger as a whole, then all the fear mongering, hysteria, and war profiteering will end. A house united is stronger than one divided. He is the only candidate that is proposing measures to make the foundations of this country stronger as a whole. He's my choice and he speaks for me.

1. I'm Leaning Towards Edwards More, Since My Main Man - Al Gore

doesn't seem to want the job any longer.

[Initech]

3. Gore would be stupid not to run. He's the only one we've got who would be a "shoo-in".

Hillary? Nah. I dont think the people would vote for another Clinton.

Obama? Maybe. Give him another five or six years.

Edwards? He'd make a great VP, but I'm not sure he's who we are looking for.

[Colobo]

4. Obama: Give him 6 more months

And he'll be ready to turn around Washington.

[JuniperLea]

5. Me too

But I'm holding onto my fantasy... Gore announces his intention to run for Prez in his Oscar acceptance speech.

*sigh*

10. Oh Yes!!!!

Heavy Sigh, Oh, Heavy Sigh!!!!!

[waiting for hope]

9. Back in 2005 I was thinking a

Gore/Edwards ticket would be great - but I've moved on to Edwards all the way. I believe Gore is going to go on to do bigger and better things - Look at Bill, he's probably achieved more with his Global Intuitive than he did the last years of his presidency.

2. Edwards is a great candidate

I would have no problems voting for him.

6. Anyone except Biden for me! n/t

7. I'm holding out for this man

[kimmerspixelated]

11. If you remember LAugh-In

You're bound to be as old as Me! I always loved PP!

[1monster]

12. Perhaps as old as you, but it was not Laugh-In, it was the Smother's

Brothers. Loved that show.

I really loved Leigh the Hippie.

8. John Edwards speaks for me, too
