Hi folks! I think I just made up my mind to support Edwards
Might have something to do with this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2382566&mesg_id=2382566

I started thinking who among the candidates would be most likely to have the moral fortitude to try and deal with the injustices that have taken place these past 7 years and longer- and John Edwards came to mind.

I just donated $100 to his campaign. I live in MASS., so the work I can do locally right now would not really matter.

plus kpetes' thread is very very good:
'An Edwards victory would be a jolt to the central nervous system of the Democratic Establishment.' I say YEAH on that!

:hi:

all I can really do right now is some money to him, but I'll do what I can.

1. Hi zippy890!
:hi: And A Big Welcome! Nice to have you here and your support is greatly appreciated. And any work that you can do will matter, never fear on that one - have you looked into the Mass One Corps Chapter? Here's the link to your states chapters: http://blog.johnedwards.com/chapters/state/MA

And if you are interested in getting all the news from the campaign and in the media, every night on Daily Kos, there is what's called an EENR - Edwards Evening News Roundup - here's the link to last nights: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/11/30/17944/797 . There is a great group of supporters over there getting the message out, and you are welcome to join in the conversation.

Again, glad to see you!

4. "Will you help me tear down this wall?"
Yes, zippy890, there are no guarantees, but I think John Edwards is the most likely to break through that wall, and show Jonathan Turley that there is ONE candidate who SEES the problem, and wants to DO something about it!

5. Great to have you with us zippy!
I am convinced that Edwards has both the cojones and the convictions to challenge the Dem establishment! Plus he has the cross-over appeal necessary in the GE. We can't get anywhere without that! You just inspired me to make another small contribution to the DU Act Blue page for Edwards:

7. Hi, Zippy! I wish I could say I just decided on Edwards, but like
Edited on Sat Dec-01-07 07:00 PM by mother earth
Kpete and probably countless others, he had my support when he left the corporatists group. That put him front and center in my vision field...I'm 100% John Edwards and my heart is steadfast, because he is the candidate that can pull us out of ruin. The only candidate that cand and will stand up for the citizens in this country and win the election. Kpete's assessment was to the point, he cut to the heart of the matter.

I'm surprised that there aren't more here declaring their choice, but Iowa is looking better all the time.
