"Season" TV Ad (with video)

John Edwards asks us to remember that one out of every four homeless people on our streets is a veteran and 37 million people in our country live in poverty. He challenges Americans to promise that never again will we forget those without a voice, because “in America, the chance to build a better life is a promise made to each of us, and the obligation to keep it rests with us all."

Chapel Hill, North Carolina – As the holiday season enters full swing, today the John Edwards for President campaign announced a special holiday television ad, "Season."

In the 30-second ad, which will begin airing on Sunday in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Edwards asks us to remember that one out of every four homeless people on our streets is a veteran and 37 million people in our country live in poverty. He challenges Americans to promise that never again will we forget those without a voice, because "in America, the chance to build a better life is a promise made to each of us, and the obligation to keep it rests with us all."

Full Transcript of "Season:"

One out of every four homeless people on our streets is a veteran.

Thirty-seven million Americans live in poverty.

Who speaks for them? We do.

This is the season of miracles, of faith and love.

So let us promise together: you will never be forgotten again.

We see you, we hear you, and we will speak for you.

In America, the chance to build a better life is a promise made to each of us, and the obligation to keep it rests with us all.

I'm John Edwards and I approved this message.

I really do like what they do in his ads. It's heartfelt. It's not a sales pitch dressed up with christmas ornaments. Very very nice. :bounce:

Thanks for posting it. :-)

A little too "Trial Lawyer" for me.

I'd still vote for him.

I wish like all hell each area had to have a politics channel where all candidates running for offices locally, regionally, and federally could get air time to have all the time they need to debate or discuss their policies. It might bring more people into the politic arena and show them they can be part of the process... It would also decrease the need for so much money spent on commercials.. Why are our public politicians buying t.v. time on our public airwaves.. its really quite disgusting. Thank God for the Internet. At least those who wish to pay attention can wade thru the policies and decide for themselves what platform they'd like to endorse.
