I would like to take the opportunity to welcome John Edwards to the Presidential race. The Republican Administration and Congress have severely neglected America over the past decade. We have an enormous national debt, a historically high trade deficit, tens of millions of Americans and their children living in poverty. Tens of millions of Americans have no health insurance.

While the rich corporatists have been in control of our country, their wealth has grown, exponentially, while middle and working class America has struggled to just stay even. The middle class is declining in number and wealth at levels never before seen in our history.

John Edwards represents a refreshing voice for us. John Edwards believes in the people of this country and I think it is high time that our government returns to the values that made America great… middle class, mainstream, progressive values… Jobs, a living wage, universal healthcare, and affordable public education.

Four years ago Sen. Edwards made an impassioned speech to America, dubbed the “Two America’s speech”, the Senator enlightened the nation to the fact that there are two America’s, one for the rich and one for everybody else. Senator Edwards believes that it is time that America becomes one again and I wholeheartedly agree with him. I hope you do as well.

So, welcome Senator Edwards, you have my support.
