(10/15/03) U.S. Sen. John Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, will kick off a statewide book drive in Iowa next week.
The Edwards presidential campaign is seeking to collect 2,004 books to give to after-school programs and other educational endeavors in Iowa. Books will be collected at campaign events and the campaign's 14 field offices.
Elizabeth Edwards plans to kick off the effort Monday in Des Moines. She has several other Iowa stops planned after that.

Elizabeth and John have been very involved in after school programs. They set up at least one in Raleigh, named after their son Wade, who was killed in a car accident at age 16. They are truly caring, giving people.
