Lite mer om John Edwards

Jag blir mer och mer säker på att jag vill se John Edwards som USA:s nästa president. Här är en kort appell som han höll på ett möte som arrangerades av de offentliganställdas fackförbund:


"Tycker ni inte att det är dags att ha en amerikansk president som förklarar för folk att kollektivavtal byggde medelklassen i USA?"

Dessutom så kan man läsa dessa opinionsundersökningsresultat i kampanjens nyhetsbrev:

Global warming:
John's plan to cap carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 is exactly the kind of bold step to halt global warming America wants.

70% of all Americans think the federal government should do more than it's doing now to try to deal with global warming.

Iraq:
John has pushed to start bringing our home our troops immediately and be out of Iraq within a year. Congress won't do it, but Americans are right there with him.

68% of all Americans think that American troops should leave Iraq within a year, or sooner.

Health care:
John is the only presidential candidate with a detailed plan to guarantee quality health care to every man, woman and child in America.

76% of all Americans support guaranteed health coverage for every American.

Poverty:
John Edwards is the only candidate to set a clear goal of ending poverty in America and he has an ambitious plan for combating poverty and disease around the globe.

61% of voters would be more likely to support a presidential candidate if they made fighting hunger and poverty in America and around the world a major priority.
