Edwards campaign headquarters evacuated

[133724]

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The campaign headquarters of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards was evacuated Wednesday after a staff member opened a letter containing white powder, a campaign official said.

"The health and safety of our staff and volunteers is obviously our paramount concern, so we contacted the authorities," said Jonathan Prince, deputy campaign manager. "The authorities have asked us to evacuate while they run tests on the substance, and we have done so."

Chapel Hill police spokeswoman Jane Cousins said the female campaign worker who opened the legal-sized envelope containing the powder has been interviewed by health officials and has shown no health problems.

2. It's not Dems, but real threats of populist power that threaten...

Hmmm, political and corporate dynasties. It's a two legged trail. At some point they will converge.

Power to the people (once they are informed).
