I just made my first donation to Barack Obama for President
because of John Edwards saying he is supporting him for the office.

I have met John, and looked deep into him, and I have seen the measured righteous anger he holds against the swindlers, and corporate entities that literally control this country from top to bottom with their monopolies and strangle hold on the DC estasblishment. I admired him early for not accepting certain types of donations, and I trust that if he is saying Barack should be president, then I should do all I can as a supporter - a proud supporter - of John and his wife, and support Barack for president however I am able. And so, I gave my first donation to his campaign. I encourage all Edwards supporters who haven't already supported his campaign before today, to give something to the campaign that we have before us that can bring about change in DC and help shape our lives in a positive way.

Thanks John!


GOBAMA!

10. they truly look like friends..
you won't see me complain if he's the VEEP nominee. Clark or Webb would be great, maybe even Sebelius, but I will be thrilled to see Edwards be asked, if willing.

11. right on!
thank you! I am angry our country has been taken over by frauds. We resemble something akin to a country teetering on true fascism with all the illegal spying, signing statements, and forced multiple tours of duty for our family and friends in Iraq - a war of no cause - and goodness - the economic screwing we're all taking is a whole other topic!

:hi:

14. Very kind of you. I tear up when I think about her and her strength and conviction
to fight for everyone's rights. As a GLBT'er I would kiss her all over her face for standing up for my rights. She is someone I would love as a 'president'. I have never met her, but I have watched her on TV over and over and I'm amazed at her ability to steer the conversation back towards something of substance.

17. Thank you very much
John Edwards, and his fans, are class acts. Could you imagine him as AG? I would want a front row seat!
