feed-back. One guy said he wanted this played over and over and over, and I think he used the largest type he could use, in Big Blue Letters!

11. Great video
Okay, I will admit that I usually tear up at these JRE videos. But, nonetheless, this is very inspiring and uplifting. Keep up the good work.

18. Kennedy was my first vote for a presidential candidate
Yup, I'm a about 6 or 8 years older.

I'm too lazy to find Edwards site and would like to donate. Is it best to vote on his site or Act Blue? Was a Biden supporter and used both. Someone mentioned your dollars would be doubled during a certain time period. Do you have the Edwards site handy?

23. I remember last week someone posting about Edwards
quest for dollars so went to that post and clicked on the KOS site and then the donations for Edwards. Filled out the donation application and clicked submit and it just returned to what I had just completed, did it again and same thing. Weird. Usually you get notice that you have donated. So I emailed them at the contribution address and am waiting to find out if I donated, donated twice or didn't donate. This is not my day.

42. Yep, and a JFK Democrat, that man had so much compassion
unfortunately his assassination crushed our generation's spirit. I think the Beatles saved us :D

45. Don't Forget John Lennon & So Many Others! Loved Dylan... But He
never was political even though many thought he was. He wrote many songs that tapped into the "times" but HE himself has stated that he never performed for political reasons.

And it used to make Joan Baez so angry... not in a bad way, but because she felt he wasted that ability! Still, he did a lot with his song writing!

But Jackson Browne is by far my most favorite and he IS very political and has written many songs about what is/has gone on in this country!!

25. I was there to see him in Atlanta
That is the Union hall he spoke at in the beginning of the video. John is an amazing man... he is so inspiring! (Actually my partner is in the video!!)

And the best part? he is the real deal.

GO JOHN GO!!!!

31. I voted for Edward's today in CA
I'd love to see a close three way. If the US had a decent media, Edwards would be running closer, as would Kucinich.

33. Good on you. I'm doing early voting for John Edwards in Florida but guess what
Edited on Tue Jan-22-08 04:14 PM by kelligesq
we're using Sequoia touch voting machines for primary and then
optical scanners for general election

neither of which have proven reliable.

Somewhere I read years ago that Bill Clinton would be the last
legitimately elected president. Maybe it was a prediction

But unless we get back to paper ballots, they certainly may be right.

48. Here's a vid I was asked to make for a website...
It's a short web-ad for them to use to get people to their sites
They rejected it

36. Not excited by Edwards as I was for Biden, but this helps me warm to him a lot!
Great song for giving the "tingle". Makes me almost want to become emotionally invested in a candidate again. That's scary to me.

I will always wear my Biden avatar proudly.

Edwards is looking better and better.

You gave him that very human element that goes with the theme of "we're all in this together". I believe in John.
