Edwards responds via Youtube to DFA petition to stop the Iraq War

[mnhtnbb]

Democracy for America (DFA) was the original netroots group supporting Howard Dean in 2004. After he lost the nomination, Dean For America morphed into Democracy for America. Last month DFA delivered 30,000 signatures
to every Dem presidential candidate asking them to oppose escalation of the war, end the occupation, and propose plans for bringing the troops home.
John Edwards was the first candidate to respond to DFA and here is his response:

1. Thanks, was just going to post this. Will be waiting for the others to respond.

:hi:

Here's the note sent by DFA:

"In February, DFA members wrote:

Dear 2008 Presidential Candidate,

We call on you to oppose any escalation of the Iraq War, to demand a swift end to the occupation, and to propose a plan that brings our brave men and women home.

The Democracy for America community awaits your response.

This is Senator John Edwards' response:

2. I think it speaks well of Edwards that he taped a response.

3. I agree.

Waiting to see what others do. He seems to be setting a pace of his own, while the media, including Countdown, I fear....only talk of Obama and Clinton.

Maybe it's best that way.

4. First to answer DFA's call, first to demand Al Gontanamo's resignation, first to boycott FauxNoise

He's hitting on all cylinders.
