Reply #6: The Truth Is… Far More People Are For Edwards Than The “Media” Care to “Talk” About… [View All]

I chose to endorse John Edwards long ago after having met him in person a couple of times, observed his interactions with other people like myself and watched as his populist policies evolved. Thanks to Danny Glover coming out in favor of the best "candidate for the people." We have plenty of candidates who are very good for "the corporation"... on both sides of the aisle. Lets hope that more well known, respected people demonstrate the personal courage to publicly oppose the DLC/Corporatist dems and fight for America's Presidential Candidate in 2008.

The following is my endorsement of Senator Edwards.

Dear Friends:

Today, December 28th 2006 John Edwards formally announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the office of President of the United States. He had been working to help the people of New Orleans many of whom remain dramatically impacted by the effects of Hurricane Katrina... Now a distant memory for most Americans...

It is with great enthusiasm that I write you today asking you to join me in endorsing the candidacy of Senator John Edwards, in the 2008 race for the Democratic Presidential nomination.

John Russell Fl 5's diary :: ::
In a world ravaged by chaos, respect for America as the great beacon of light from which sound judgment and leadership are the norm, rather than the exception must be restored. John Edwards is the one individual in my opinion who will restore objective positive consideration and judgment to our nations highest office.
John Edwards has expressed his opinions and taken action on behalf of the major issues of the day including his admission of regret regarding his vote for the war in Iraq. I am confident that he will demonstrate the courage to place action behind his words in beginning to take the steps necessary to move American forces out of Iraq as he said in his announcement this morning.

I heard John Edwards not only this morning, but in the past, point his favor toward a universal health care system covering all Americans, as well as investments in alternative energy to break our nations dependence on fossil fuels.

John Edwards has spoken of two Americas... one that represents those individuals who live in the very top tier and in contrast to the huddled masses who live in an ever-growing bottom tier. The middle class is shrinking. John Edwards offers answers to the growing economic chasm that gives rise to this "Two Americas" problem.

Restoring "progressivity" to a Federal Tax policy that is now essentially flat as a result of the Bush tax cuts (disproportionately benefiting the top 1% of income earners), is mandatory if America is to stave off further declines in the ranks of the middle class.

It is my considered opinion that the former Senator from North Carolina is the only candidate with the political courage to carry out what needs to be done in order to accomplish this necessary goal.

America is not in a good place in so many ways today as I write this message. In this historic time America and the world are in need of a person of great character and judgment in this most important of positions; A person who will place a steady hand on the helm of this great country who can and will motivate and work with other capable people to lead the world out of this tumultuous storm of turmoil in which it finds itself.

Lets work together to put John Edwards in White House in January of 2009. Let's work together to help John Edwards realize his dream of achieving "One America".

Thank you for your attention.

John Russell, Dade City, Florida
