‘Two Americas’ in Aspen
Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards shares his vision

Carolyn Sackariason
Vail, CO Colorado
August 10, 2007

~snip~ “Am I the only person wearing a tie? What is wrong with me?” he asked. Edwards took off his coat and tie, and loosened his shirt. Then he got down to business.

“I think we need change in the worst way,” Edwards said, adding that the next president and the United States will have to spend enormous energy undoing what President George W. Bush has done in his two terms in office.

If elected, Edwards said, he will close the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay the first day he can. There will be no more secret prisons, people will not be held without a trial, there will be no torture of prisoners and no illegal spying on the American people.

“Isn’t it staggering that a candidate for president has to say these things?” he asked. “That is how far we’ve come.” ~snip~
