Grassroots for Edwards
Edwards supporters need to check out http://www.dailykos.com/ and http://crooksandliars.com/, you will find encouraging diaries there, to help you make your points with your friends. We need to do what in my childhood church was called holding each other up in prayer, whether you call it prayer or good thoughts or encouraging words. We need to tell each other about the good we find, the positive coverage we find, and as one commenter on CrooksandLiars said, we have to be the media for John because the mainstream media isn't going to do it. He is a true grassroots candidate now, because the corporations that run this country don't want people to hear his message. And the other two campaigns make calls and send out canvassers giving the impression that there are only candidates and that neither of them is John Edwards . Speak out! Write blogs, diaries, bulletins, post videos and comments on www.youtube.com , go to sites like dailykos, crooksandliars, www.huffingtonpost.com , www.truthout.org , http://ichoosejohn.com, http://itshouldntbethisway.blogspot.com/ , any others you can find or know of and spread the word among like minded people that the Edwards campaign is neither dead nor dying. Give what money you can at www.johnedwards.com. We have to do whatever it takes to get out the word. Go Edwards, our best hope for the future 2008!

New links
I am adding a couple of links to my page, and I wanted to post a message here to make you all aware of them.
John Edwards gets much less media coverage than the other candidates. It is absurd that he came in second in Iowa, beating Hillary Clinton, and the story on all the networks was still Obama/Clinton. So we need to let the networks know that their job is not to decide, but to report. (Unlike Fox, which although their motto is "we report, you decide", reports in such a way as to make the decision for you). So I have linked to FairMediaNow.com, a fellow blogspot poster.
Also, for people who have decided to vote for Edwards and for people who haven't, there is ichoosejohn.com, also a blogspot post, with comments to read and post.
Enjoy, but remember to vote in the primary for your state!!

Iowa
John Edwards came in second in the Iowa caucuses. That may sound bad, but I am so very excited, because he came in ahead of Hillary. He didn't come out incredibly far ahead of her, but it is still good. Yet the mainstream media is STILL talking as if it were an Obama/Hillary race, as if JRE isn't even part of the race, to a certain extent. I am so tired of that. He has spent much less than Clinton or Obama, and I hope people in New Hampshire listen to what he has to say. He has plans for everything, he has ideas to change the country. And i don't really want to hear this bipartisanship stuff, I am sick and tired of the majority of the Republicans in Congress who do nothing but block any progressive. It is time for change, for real progressive ideas to be executed,and by electing John Edwards as President, and maybe Obama as VP, and having a real majority in Congress, as I hope we will when all is said and done, we can get there.
