1. Haven't heard a statement yet.

If I find one, I'll be sure to post it.

2. From Jan 24, 2008

Today, Senator John Edwards released the following statement urging Senate Democrats to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA):

"In Washington today, telecom lobbyists have launched a full-court press to win retroactive immunity for their illegal eavesdropping on American citizens. Granting retroactive immunity will let corporate law-breakers off the hook and hamstring efforts to learn the truth about Bush's illegal spying program.

"It's time for Senate Democrats to show a little backbone and stand up to George W. Bush and the corporate lobbyists. They should do everything in their power -- including joining Senator Dodd's efforts to filibuster this legislation -- to stop retroactive immunity. The Constitution should not be for sale at any price."

This is amongst the ever growing reasons why I don't want JRE on the ticket with Obama.

but why would you not want John on the ticket?

3. I think it's reasonable to assume how he feels about it.

It's likely just one more reason he was purposely ignored in the primaries. :evilfrown:

4. Yes, can't have a candidate that will actually stand up to the corporat PTB and hold them accountabl

now can we? x(

7. I still cannot find any hope with the dealings in the Senate and

with our Presidental candidate. I wish there was something that would change.

8. I just popped in to see if there are any signs of change, and

under my original message:
I was wondering what John Edwards was saying about telecome immunity. The poster under mine today writes: we are screwed. That does seem to be what John Edwards might be saying.
