Netroots fundraising idea- $200,000 on Jan. 30th in honor of all homeless veterans

John has recently been giving voice to the moral outrage that is 200,000 of our own veterans who are currently homeless - men and women who have served our country nobly and honorably and yet have been left literally out in the cold by our government. Even worse is the tidbit that more than twice that number of our veterans experience homelessness during at least some portion of the year...

This IS a moral outrage and I am glad to see that John Edwards has been speaking up about it every chance he gets, including during his "whistle stops", during the debates, and even when he appeared on Letterman. As a matter of fact, John's been so vocal about this travesty that even Bill O'Reilly himself has been calling John out; it seems BillO doesn't believe there are homeless veterans.

So let's all join in to help give John Edwards a continuing voice in this election so he can keep giving voice to the voiceless like those 200,000 Homeless Veterans that he speaks so passionately about.

The Fundraising date is set for Wednesday January 30, 2008 - the day before the Los Angeles debates - two days before the end of the month and less than a week before Super-whatever-it's-being-called-now Tuesday.

Please join us in helping John keep his voice loud and clear during this rough and tumble campaign season!

Pax!
