Pay Attention People of Iowa (New Hampshire and South Carolina)

Because some of you are causing me too much stress
Here is the new John Edwards ad that should be premiering tonight and it has a very simple but legitimate point- Congress shouldn't have health care while regular americans don't


And his Jefferson-Jackson speech from Saturday


Also here's his 80 page "Plan To Build One America." From the Introduction

Dear Friend :
America is facing great challenges . We need bold ideas for change that are equal to the problems we face . And especially now , our country needs to hear the truth from its leaders.
The truth is that Washington is broken -rigged by the special interests and lobbyists to benefit the very few at the expense of the rest of us. Because our government no longer works for most families , we risk becoming the first generation of Americans that fail to pass on a better life to our children,
This is not the America I believe in . Together we can reclaim our government and redeem the promise of America for our children. You have a uniquely important responsibility. You are the guardians not only of what kind of president we'll have but what kind of future we'll leave to our children.
You deserve real substance, not rhetoric. By describing my detailed plans, I hope this book will allow you to make an informed decision. It includes my proposals to:

• End the War in Iraq: We should immediately withdraw 40,00 to 50,000 combat troops and bring home the rest within nine to ten months. We also need a "diplomatic surge" to engage all nations in the region in reaching a political solution in Iraq.
• Guarantee Universal Health Care: This is a moral issue. I will stand up to the big drug and insurance companies and guarantee health care for every American, while cutting costs and improving care. My plan costs $90 billion to $120 billion. To pay for it, I will repeal the Bush tax cuts from families above $200,000 a year to pay for it.
• Support Middle-Class Families: I will raise the minimum wage, strengthen workers' rights to organize and reject bad trade deals. I will help families save, cut taxes for middle-class families, protect pensions and lift millions out of poverty.
• Teach Our Children: We must end No Child Left Behind's punitive approach and restore a comprehensive curriculum. I support universal early childhood education, smaller classes and better teacher pay. My College for Everyone plan will make college affordable for every student willing to work part-time.
• Achieve Energy Independence and Fight Global Warming: The crisis of global warming demands action today. I will cap and reduce greenhouse gases by 80 percent by 2050, as scientists say is necessary, and invest in innovation and renewable energy to create new jobs that cannot be sent overseas.
• Revitalize Rural America: My Rural Recovery Act will invest in local Main Street businesses, attract new industries like renewable energy and strengthen rural schools. I will stand up for family farms with country-of-of origin labeling, antitrust enforcement, a ban on packer ownership and a moratorium on building or expanding concentrated animal feeding operations.

I hope you will read my plan. You might not agree with every detail, but you deserve to know where I stand.When you're done, I want to hear your ideas, suggestions and thoughts. Please call me at (919) 636-3131 or email me at info@johnedwards.com.
Together we can-and will-redeem our country's promise and our children's future.

Give 'em Hell, John. Give 'em Hell


God I love him so much. If he doesn't win...well I don't know what I'll do. Maybe move to Venezuela.

So please, for the sake of me not having to relearn Spanish, Vote John Edwards.
