John Edwards speaking on poverty

Here's a great video of Edwards when he was recently speaking at Center for American Progress. It's a great speech! I'm so glad someone is caring in a huge way as he does to make poverty their center campaign issue(s). Here's the video (you need quicktime):

2. "Project Opportunity"

He has alot going on.

"Project Opportunity is a project of the Center for Promise and Opportunity. “Its mission encompasses much more than just proposing ideas — it will lead efforts to build public support for change, and will serve as an incubator for solutions, conducting real-world trials.” Currently, they are exploring innovative ideas for tax reform, asset building, and education and employment opportunities. Edwards will take this message to colleges across the country with Project Opportunity, along with appearances on Tavis Smiley on Oct 3 and The Daily Show on Oct 5."
