After we take away the young, poor, elderly, minorities, single mothers, women and the disabled, what's left? What's left is a buncha WASPs males with millions from their inheritances or from robbing everyone else. It is true that our govenment ignores the needs of the many in favor of these few.

Civilizations have fallen by pandering to a majority and ignoring the rest. The needs of the majority are not necessarily what is best for the whole.

A commonality in the fall of governments through history is the lack of response to the needs of the many in exchange for response to the wants of the few.

John Edwards has a vision of American based upon community, guided by compassion, and committed to peace. If you see what he has done in his private life to make a difference for those which had none to stand for them, and see what he brings to America in his deeds and virtues, you will, as I do, support John Edwards for President in 2008.
