A MESSAGE FROM JOHN EDWARDS '08
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Dear Friend,

I may be the underdog in this campaign, running against two
candidates with more than $200 million between them – but the real
underdogs are the middle class and those without a voice in America
today.

They are losing ground while the CEOs of huge corporations pocket
million dollar bonuses and corporate lobbyists get their way and
promote their special interests in Washington.

While ExxonMobil rakes in record profits and receives government
handouts, gas prices are going through the roof, oil has
skyrocketed to $100 a barrel and the middle class is paying through
the nose at the pump.

Meanwhile, 200,000 veterans – men and women who proudly wore
America's uniform and served with honor on behalf of our country –
will sleep tonight under bridges and on grates, ignored and uncared
for by their government.

I know you cannot negotiate with the entrenched, moneyed interests
who are strangling our government. You have to fight them and stand
up to them. That is what I have done my whole life – and that's
exactly what I intend to do as president of the United States. It's
why I need your support today.

We can't simply replace a group of corporate Republicans with a
group of corporate Democrats and expect change. I've never taken a
dime from Washington lobbyists or political action committees.
That's why I'm the candidate of change who can take them on – and
win for the American people.

I know who the underdogs are in this fight. I know that the fight
to save the middle class will be an epic battle – but I will never
give up.

We're going to take this fight to save the middle class and to speak
up for those who have no voice all the way to the convention and to
the White House. And we're going to look our children in the eye
and tell them, "We left you a better life than we had."

I'm asking you to join me in this epic battle – a fight to preserve
the greatness of America.

Franklin Roosevelt said, "There is nothing I love so much as a good
fight." He spoke for the underdogs and the voiceless of an earlier
generation of Americans.

Today, the fight for bold and lasting change continues. With your
help, I will fight for the real underdogs of America every single
day.

Sincerely,

--John
