Here is a great article written by Leslie Savan on the MSM’s efforts to keep us from hearing the name “Edwards”… hears hoping more journalists will start calling a spade a spade.

When I think of what John Edwards means to me, these three words come to mind: Experience, Vision, Leadership. When I listen and watch his speeches online, my heart inflates with hope and I get chills up my spine. Edwards makes me believe in my country and the amazing possibilities that lie ahead for the first time in many years. We absolutely need someone in the White House who is inspirational and willing to go the distance. Someone who wants to roll up their sleeves and get the job done. Someone prepared to step in and deal with this mess we’re in.

I live in CA but my dad lives in Nashville TN and I’m planning to visit him in early February.

Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Senator John Edwards released the following statement about today’s release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing the largest increase in union membership since 1979.

“I salute the courage, tenacity, and success of the men and women who have joined the labor movement in historic numbers over the past year, and in doing so, have helped strengthen the middle class in America. I have stood on countless picket lines and in the trenches of organizing campaigns across this country with strong men and women who simply seek fair pay, decent benefits, and a voice on their jobs. But I know too well the ongoing harassment that these Americans face for seeking unionization, and as we struggle with difficult economic times, I will fight even harder to make it easier for more workers to join unions through passage of the Employee Free Choice Act, by calling on employers to be responsible and law abiding, and by continuing to stand with workers in their campaigns.”

Edwards campaign unveils new television and radio ads in South Carolina one day before voters head to the polls

Columbia, South Carolina – As Senators Clinton and Obama continue to squabble, the John Edwards for President campaign today released two new ads in South Carolina focusing on the issues that really matter to the American people in this election.

The new 30-second television spot “Grown Up” includes clips from last Monday’s South Carolina debate where Senators Clinton and Obama launch viscous personal attacks against each other. These attacks are contrasted with Edwards’ “grown up” response where he reminds voters that this election is not about us personally – but rather “what we are trying to for this country.”

Spartanburg, South Carolina – Today, Senator John Edwards released the following statement on the economic stimulus package before Congress:

“This is another example of Washington deserting working people and the middle class. They gave $70 billion of tax breaks that do nothing for those who’ve lost their jobs. It’s a complete disconnect between what’s happening in Washington and what I see happening here in South Carolina and across the country. We desperately need a modernization of the unemployment insurance law to cover more poor families and those who have lost their jobs. We also need to build an infrastructure for the clean energy economy that will create jobs and fight global warming.

In upcoming attraction, John Edwards rescues a nation hijacked by special interests and delivers it back to the hands of the people

Columbia, South Carolina – Two days before South Carolina voters go to the polls, the John Edwards for President campaign unveiled a new theatrical trailer for Native Son: The Movie starring Senator John Edwards. The trailer, narrated by well-known voiceover artist and Edwards’ supporter George DelHoyo, highlights how Edwards has spent his life standing up to the rich and powerful to help the kind of regular people he grew up with in the Palmetto State, and how, as president, Edwards will rescue a nation hijacked by special interests and deliver it back to the hands of the people.
