Here you go again, as R. Reagan said to Jimmy Carter.
Agree or not, wasnt the message relevent ?
Two Americas, Two John Denver's ?
Perhaps,but I think as John did, "We Are One " This is very relevent to me, my
feelings about John Denver, his life and his work
Script for "Two Americas:"
from John Edwards:
"It seems today, we have two Americas. With two health care systems...one for
the privileged; another rationed by insurance companies. Two public school
systems...one for the haves: and one for everybody else. Two tax
systems...where the wealthy and corporations pay less; working families pay
more. Two governments one for powerful interests and lobbyists; the other for
the rest of us. I'm John Edwards. And I approved this message because together
you and I can change America and make it work for all of us."
John Edwards
Leading The Fight For Clean Air And Clean Water,from the John Edwards site:
"Edwards has been a leader in the Senate on environmental issues. He has fought
to undo the changes proposed by the Bush administration that would undermine
our longstanding commitment to the environment. He has also worked to make our
air and water clean, and to reduce this country’s dependence on foreign oil.
Unlike the Bush administration, Edwards believes that conservation is more than
just a personal virtue. He supports environmental protection and energy
conservation as a national commitment."

I was, needless to say very excited to be able to go to the event shown below. I had no idea it would turn out as it did. I had even spoke to my Brother.Jimmy,"MidnightFlyer" before going to this event saying that my dream would be what really did happen. Being able to meet John Edwards,talk to him etc. I did just that.Ervin,"Jcalypso" said I was a "Little Hobbit", as I went through the crowd as it formed and said excuse me,pardon me to the point that I was at the front of the stage that John Edwards would speak. Even as I got to that point, I had supporters try to stand in front of me, I held my ground and in the process made some new friends.Ervin kept saying no, and was happy where we were at. I was determined and dragged him along. We were at the front stage,I couldnt have been more happy. As it turned out, my signs and myself was shown on the local news supporting John Edwards, and was also live on C-SPAN. Agree or not with my political views,please share with me here my experience of being involved with process and the future of America !
