Daily Kos: As long as he's breathing: John Edwards’ commitment |
|
Enjoy :patriot: by be inspired Tue May 22, 2007 at 12:09:15 PM EDT While the corporate MSM is busying talking about Edwards' hair and distracting from the real issues because Republicans don't have any solutions, the real John Edwards is out there fighting for all Americans, including the 37 million who live in poverty and the 47 million without health care.
be inspired's diary :: :: John Edwards has said he'll continue to fight to lift people out of poverty and help working people, as long as he's breathing. His commitment to it runs so deep that he opened a poverty center at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, started a college for everyone program to send poor kids to college, co-edited a book of essays by poverty experts, has traveled the country to work with unions to organize workers, and last year he gave the proceeds of a book and at least 28% ($350,000) of his $1.25 million income to charities like Habitat for Humanity and International Rescue Committee. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty, either. On more than one occasion, he's participated in Habitat for Humanity building projects in the ninth ward of New Orleans.
