Edwards: Your Voice will be Heard

[question everything]

An e-mail to supporters:

From the very beginning, our campaign has been about one central thing: giving voice to millions of Americans who have absolutely no voice in our democracy.

If you are worried about your health care or, like 47 million other Americans you have no health care, your voice will be heard in this campaign.

If you're one of 37 million Americans who wake up every single day, worried about how to feed and clothe your children and living in poverty, your voice will be heard in America -- and it will be heard in this campaign and we will speak and fight for you.

If you're worried about being able to pay for your child to be able to go to college and being able to pay for tuition and books, your voice will be heard in this campaign -- and it will be heard in America.

If you're one of the forgotten middle class, working and struggling just to pay your bills, worrying every single day about what may be around the corner, we will give you a voice in this campaign.

And if you're one of the extraordinary men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States with pride and honor and served this country patriotically, and you're not getting the health care you need or deserve, your voice will be heard in this campaign. If you're one of the 200,000 veterans living in America who every night go to sleep under bridges, in shelters or on heating grates, your voice will be heard in America.

That's why this campaign moves on to February 5 and "Super Tuesday" when millions of Americans will cast their vote and help shape the future of the Democratic Party and, most importantly, help shape the future of America.

Thank you for standing with me as, together, we take this campaign to the Democratic Convention, to the nomination -- and then to the White House.

Your support as we move forward means that the voices of millions of voiceless Americans will be heard.

Sincerely,

John Edwards

3. You've got my vote, President Edwards.

:)

4. Since my man dropped out

I see you as the only candidate who'll get my vote. I'm voting early so I can use a paper ballot and know it is counted properly.

5. I'm voting for Edwards on Feb. 5... and I gave them $200 this month.

[question everything]

8. I am planning on meeting him when he comes to town

on Tuesday.

And, yes, I have contributed to him last year. This year we are a bit so the amount will be less.

10. I wish I could donate more now, but I just paid my taxes and I'm a little low.

6. I can't wait to vote for John on Feb. 12!

We've got your back, John, just as you have ours!

7. But what will it say?

He has no viable route to the nomination. I am sorry for that but it is accepted as a fact by everyone keeping track. He has not won any primary race yet, only one 2nd place and 3 3rds. I don't know of any race where he polls higher than 3rd.



So, what will your voice say?

Will it say, I endorse Sen. Clinton? (even though she takes Lobbyist money)

Or will it say. I endorse Sen. Obama? (even though his health plan does not mandate coverage)

[question everything]

9. There are still 44 states to go

full of voters who are tired of the bickering between Clinton and Obama, who do not want to vote for someone based on identity, though, at least, you know where Clinton stands while Obama is our Teflon candidate.

11. No viable route to the nomination?

13. What a great pie chart!

John, I already voted for you. I gave you $550 in the past three weeks and will give you more. Your voice is critical and I am behind you!

14. DUer jamess provided it, and more

check them out:

Great graphics, so I uploaded to my photo host account and will post whenever possible. You can do the same. We all can. ;) Help fight the urge of some to throw in the towel and jump on somebody else's bandwagon because they think it is just a two horse race.

15. Don't know how to do that.

Wish there was a straight link to it.

Somewhat computer illiterate here.

[havocmom]

16. If I can do it, anybody can. I can barely operate a pencil.

go to photobucket.com and open an account. Free, no problem at all. Safe.

Right click on any image you want to save and maybe post somewhere. A menu will open. Select SAVE IMAGE AS and left click

A different window/menu opens, offering choices of places on your computer you want the image file saved.

Save in a file or your documents. I found it helpful to create a file in My Docs/My Pics and call it something like DOWNLOADED IMAGES ahead of time. Then I know just where to save the images to, and more importantly, where to find them to upload at host site later.

Go to your photo host site, follow instructions to upload. It will take you to form with text fiels and a BROWSE button. Left click on the button, go to the place on your computer where you saved the image and hit OPEN

Hit UPLOAD on the hosting page.

When that uploads, go to image and copy the URL, paste it in body of a post.

Once you do it a couple of times, it's easy and you get fast at it.

ImageShack also hosts but it was a bit more involved so I recommend starting with the other hosting site.

Try it! Makes it easier to share some really great info in ways that help get your message across.

12. But with him out of the race, the party will swing so far right that we won't recognize it

[question everything]

17. Kick (nt)
