The more I look at it, the more we should all be supporting Edwards. I thought Obama was it and that is was who I was going to throw my weight behind, but I think that's a mistake. Here is some words from Edwards 80page book:
http://www.johnedwards.com/issues/plan-to-build-one-america.pdfRead the book and then make a final decision.
End the War in Iraq: We should immediately withdraw 40,000
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 for 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‐origin labeling, antitrust
enforcement, a ban on packer ownership and a moratorium on
building or expanding concentrated animal feeding
operations.
