I am sorry but this guy is too good and too passionate to not inspire every damn one of us to stand up and tack this damn country back from the corporate thugs in both parties!

2. I have lived amongst those folks all of us keep hearing about all of my life. You know,

the ones who vote against their own best interests. Edwards CAN get through to them. Same background as theirs + He is successful. They will listen to John Edwards.

5. I know what you mean-
My father was a Nixon Democrat, which led, painfully to a Regan Democrat. People like my dad would have loved Edwards.

4. He's essentially asking for an opportunity to make us proud to be U.S. citizens
again.

I believe he desereves that chance and is sleeves-rolled-up-ready to serve.

It's been 8 very long, tedious, embarrassing years.

Go, Johnny, go.

7. Why I chose Lint Head as my DU name.
I was born 15 miles from where John Edwards was born. My father worked in a cotton / textile mill just as his father did. My first job as a teenager was in a textile mill. Lint Head was a derogatory term used as a put down by elitists and bigots to refer to anyone working in a cotton mill. I wear that name proudly and pray that John Edwards will be President and truly do away with the corporate stranglehold that causes Americans to suffer so much. My father lost much of his hearing and health from working in a cotton mill for decades. He was born before and lived through the depression. He is my hero to this day.
Go go go, go Johnny Go. Johnny be Prez!

8. He wants to make sure everyone has the opportunity ...
...to do what he did. To succeed in America. To have a future, hope, to make something of themselves, of their lives and to leave their kids a better life. THAT has been stolen from us by corporate control and greed! And we need a guy like Edwards to help us fight to TAKE IT (OUR country!) BACK.
