The Edwards Woo Voters in New Hampshire One-by-One!
On Sunday afternoon, Donna Jordan approached Democrat John Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, at an event here and asked why she should vote for Edwards rather than Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.


Jordan, 51, has breast cancer, and the medicine that costs her $110 a month in the United States can be had for $15 a month in Canada, not far from this northern New Hampshire town.


Elizabeth Edwards, who also has breast cancer, explained her husband's health proposals and told her that Clinton "has accepted campaign money from the drug companies," Jordan said in an interview. "That was the key."

Jordan pinned an Edwards campaign button to her lapel, and trekked to the Berlin fire station 12 hours later — at 3 a.m. Monday — to see John and Elizabeth Edwards when they greeted about 40 supporters as part of an all-night bus tour of the state.


When Elizabeth Edwards told the gathering about converting an undecided voter from the area, Jordan surprised her by calling out, "here I am."

2. Follow the money, folks.
The big drug companies are going to expect something for their donations. Hillary and Barack represent the status quo in Washington: they are going to preach change, but they won't do it because they owe the same people Bushco owes.

All that cash comes at a price: and it's at the American people's expense.

Common sense proves that Hillary and Barack are in no position to change America; they simply cannot break free from the big money. Their greed has compromised their ability to lead this country into a new era, and bring it out of the Dark Ages of GOP Abuse.

If you take dirty money, you're no better than Bush.

It's time to put a stop to money and the media telling us who our next President should be. Anyone with a lick of sense knows this. So, stop letting them get away with it people!

FOLLOW THE MONEY!
