Will Edwards message resinate.......

with the country. I'm wondering if anyone thinks Edwards poverty message will make an impact on the country. The importance of him taking up the issue of poverty is to shake some of the social conservatives up a little and show them that poverty is a problem.

I believe the message is perfect for him to speak on and his position at Carolina is a great sounding board from a think tank to show how deep rooted the problem is in America. The fact that 1 million new people entered into poverty last year shows that this is becoming a epidemic and not about class differences, but of economic disparities and social plight.

1. Hear, hear!

:toast:

John Edwards is right on target. His "Two Americas" message really resonated with me last year, and his center on Poverty and Opportunity at UNC is something I'm proud that his and my alma mater is hosting.

Social conservatives might well benefit from remembering an old quote:

It is time Christians were judged more by their likeness to Christ than their notions of Christ.
-William Penn

2. He's certainly the right person to deliver it

I'm hoping the gaping wounds left by Katrina will make people more receptive.

If she shifts the country's perceptions, then in the end she will have done the whole country a favor. I just wonder if we're smart enough to be sensitive to this message.
