This is an excellent video by Ultraist about John Edwards' vocal fight against poverty, such as raising the minimium wage and the right for service workers, such as those in hotels and janitors, to organize and get better wages and health care. Video also points out Edwards' emphatic stance for universal health care.

It's no wonder that Edwards is receiving the Paul Wellstone Award tomorrow night from the AFL-CIO.

11. I second that. Great song. Edwards is the best orator I know of today. He truly inspires.

2. Very Nice

I agree that Senator Edwards is one of the most deserving individuals of our day. We sure need him in government and specifically in the White House.

3. And remember, we are fighting to end Class War ...

... as Bush knows it. The war between the very wealthy to see who can get the most money while our industrial base collapses and the climate goes haywire.

7. While I love this video, my eyes aint what they ...

...once were, and while the lettering pops out against the darker backgrounds, it washes out a little against lighte backgrounds.

Not complaining, mind, cause I couldn't do it myself if I tried. But if the the video guru that did it was to use the same lettering but with a thin outline of blue all the way around, it would be easier to see.

Of course, yellow with a thin black outline also works (that's what SBS in Australia uses for their excellent subtitling), but white on blue has a traditional political campaign feel. Like:

though certainly not lines that thick!

8. Great video

This man should be our next POTUS. He should be our President right now. I just hope every Democrat gives him serious consideration. Our country deserves a leader that inspires us, a leader who makes us proud and a leader who believes that anything is possible in America. John Edwards is that man. Truly a man of the people.

10. I respect the work he's doing now, don't get me wrong...

But didn't he have a whole term as a Senator to really raise this issue and rise above the "middle" of the road Washington establishment?
