Check in here to support ELIZABETH Edwards ...
We know she's posted here before and we should let
her know that, regardless of what's being said in
the media, WE SUPPORT HER efforts on behalf of health
care and other issues she has spoken out about.

I want to encourage her to pursue a future as an
activist -- at CAP or elsewhere -- and also to let
her know that we love and support her, apart from
John and his political endeavors and foibles.

You go, girl!!!!!

1. Elizabeth rocks and any decision she makes about anything she want s to do is OK with me!
I love Elizabeth Edwards. No matter what anyone says, she is a champion of the people and at great sacrifice to herself. God Bless Elizabeth and the Edwards family, all of them.

7. And poverty...
Thank you for this post.

The saddest part in all this mess, in addition to the pain brought to Elizabeth and the family, is that it will probably be used as an excuse to push poverty and health-care issues off the table. Clinton and Obama made these planks part of their platforms after Edwards dropped out. I hope Obama continues to focus on them going forward.

I agree, let's support Elizabeth in her efforts to keep health care and poverty central issues in our country.

8. Mrs. Edwards, I'm so sorry this has become such an issue, and
that's because I have such respect for you. You don't deserve this focus, nor do your children.
You are a special lady. :hug:

11. I support Elizabeth. I feel badly for what she's going through, been through and...
...for the fact that people can't seem to LEAVE IT ALONE and who want to keep picking at the scabs of her wounds.

It's none of our business and it's hard enough for her without all of us contributing to it.

12. Part of the reason I supported JE was because he had such great taste in partners.
;) Happy to K and R for a wonderful, passionate, thoughtful, intelligent, remarkable woman.

15. I remember hearing you being interviewed on NYC radio last year.
Almost one year ago, Tuesday, August 20 on The Morning Show with Sam Greenfield on WWRL in the morning. Later, you were at Book Ends in Ridgewood, New Jersey. I thought and still think you are extraordinary and a role model. You inspire me.

17. Elizabeth was the reason I supported John
She stood out from the crowd and because of her I started listening to him. She is such a bright star and for this to happen to someone of her caliber is so very sad. Hang in there Elizabeth and know that you are admired greatly by many people!

24. Elizabeth, you have experienced far more than your share of life's challenges.
Thank you for all you have done for others.

I hope your friends are giving you the support that you need through this difficult time.

25. Thanks for continuing to show kindness and graciousness under pressure...
My family and I will never forget how you went out of your way to speak with us at a Wendy's in Raleigh a week before Christmas 2007. You shared your time for us even though you were 'doing some Christmas shopping' for the kids, and just stopped in to get a takeout order. Obviously this must have been a difficult time for you.

Thank you for putting the needs of others first, and making every day count. The world is a better place for having you in it.

Nothing but best wishes for you and your family!
