But you can watch video.

==Mrs. Edwards also addressed the Rage For Justice Awards theme of 'courage, not compromise': "We live in a society where compromise is even applauded ... Compromise, usually described as consensus, rather than capitulation, has become a goal. And the cost of compromise to principles and to real lives, well that doesn't seem to matter."

==Edwards shared her vision for change: "The way to build a fair and just society is not through baby steps, not through concession or incremental solutions, but with big ideas and with an obvious backbone to match."

==And compared public service to politics: "Public service is all about action. ... Success in politics doesn't have the same standard. Success in politics is personal. Was the candidate elected? That's it! ... The rationale for a political race has to be something greater than the candidate. The sentence 'Joe Smith wants to be President because Joe Smith believes in blank' has to be completed by something other than Joe Smith's name."

==Edwards warned the public not to delay the fight for justice, "We let them keep their dimes, or in the real world their billions, and we promise to fight tomorrow. Well, I don't know how many tomorrows I have. None of us do, really. I want to fight now
