wealth gap, therefore Trade Policy, Jobs, Health Care are at top.
I support Edwards because he was the first to have the courage to
come out and state unequivocally Trade Policies underlie many of
the socioeconomic problems in the U.S>. In other words he clearly showed
he had studied the Issue understanding it fully. He did not knee-jerk
say we should ban Trade or Cancel Policies. He did say it appears
we need to renegotiate these trade deals in such a way as to make
the playing field more fair. Like wise he said; as any legislation
comes to his desk. he will have it evaluated and make sure the legislation
does not do harm to the Middle Class and Poor. This tells me he
truly understands what has happened. At present every piece of legislation
is designed the Corporations and Business Interest with very little
concern about how it affects the middle class and poor. This is what
is running our country in a ditch and will ultimately destroy our
Democracy. I could go on and on--but this should give you an overall
impression of how I thinK and how I reached my conclusion.

The fact that Edwards was courageous enough to come loudly and strongly
was a selling point. To come across as a populist brings derision
from the Corporatists and Corporate Media. This did not stop him.
How could I not like him and admire him. This convinced me that if
given the chance in the WH he would stand on his principles and mine.

If you want to know the truth, I do not believe HRC is to far from
Edwards --IN Her Heart--but I want to be sure her HEAD convinces
her to act. Hilary's History has shown her to be compassionate
and willing to work hard on behalf of people. She has publicly
admitted Nafta has been a dissappointment and did not work out as
had been hoped. She was never for Nafta, but as first lady could
not run around contradicting her husaband. She is willing to and
plans to spend sometime with others and carefully review all Trade
Agreements and figure out some action to take.

Why Edwards first and Hilary second. Since he showed such courage
in the beginning, I feel I cannot abandon him now.

Also, I just want to be sure Hilary will not let the
Business and Corporations once again throw our people under the
bus. I am inclined to believe her when she says she will stand
up to Corporate Powers. i guess I need to hear it a few more
times.


Yes, I just plain like them both.
