John Edwards has never taken money from Lobbyists or PACS, where as Obama only copied him for this campaign...but still Obama's claim doesn't equal with the 76K he received from Lobbyists through the 3rd quarter of this fundraising cycles.

John Edwards will fight and move our country forward for working Americans. He is not indebted to his Corporate Donors as Obama and Clinton have been and showed by their votes.

This is the opportunity America has been asking for. Not to coronate the front runners, to choose the Peoples candidate.

John Edwards, Real Change on Real Issues for America.

Global Warming
Iraq
Health Care (for ALL)
Jobs / Poverty

And, what does his home have anything to do with the work he will be doing. He paid for it with his hard working money and he built a Green Energy efficient home.

Much better than the dirty deal Obama has been dabbling in for years that recently resulted in his new home next to door to his friend/backer/money bundler Rezko, who has been indicted for many illegal activities...particularly in Real Estate.

Must be nice...you wanna' share what you're taking?

Edwards did not support NAFTA as you claim.

OBAMA did....as a matter of fact, he spelled it out "I support Free Trade and I support adding Peru to the Free Trade Agreement".

And if you thinks it's so bad that Edwards voted for the first Patriot Act, maybe you might think it pretty bad that Obama...who campaigned in 2004 against the war and the Patriot act......ACTUALLY HAD THE NERVE TO VOTE FOR THE PATRIOT ACT 2....major huevos....

Oh and the war??...yep, after getting in the Senate in 2005, he spent the next 2 years before announcing his presidency voting for every funding bill...and acutally voted AGAINST the one Bill brought to the floor in June 2006 to end the war.

Now, Obama wasn't in the senate when No Child Left Behind came for a vote, just like he didn't hafe a vote on the War, but something tells me according to his record, he SURE WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR IT.

Now, lets see...Oh, his lie about not supporting Nuclear Plants until we find a way to store waste. He VOTED FOR CHENEY's ENERGY BILL for Nuclear Plants and Oil give aways in 2005.

Coal....he pushed a Lobbyist backed Liquified Coal Bill....TWICE til it failed again in June 2007...this is tax dollars he wanted to use AND it would have added so much pollutions to Global Warming, it would have been like replacing every car with a Hummer.

Keep the American Promise. John Edwards for America and stop this Corporate Cronyism!!!

And, speaking of hyprocrisy. You all know that speech Obama gave in Reno the other day, where he tried to paint Reagan, the Republican that started trick down economics and the start of NeoCons agenda, as some sort of good guy that he wanted to be compared to?

John Edwards responded perfectly!

Obama:I don't want to present myself as some sort of singular figure. I think part of what's different are the times. I do think that for example the 1980 was different. I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn't much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. I think people, he just tapped into what people were already feeling, which was we want clarity we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing."

Edwards:When you think about what Ronald Reagan did to the American people, to the middle class to the working people".

"He was openly - openly - intolerant of unions and the right to organize. He openly fought against the union and the organized labor movement in this country. He openly did extraordinary damage to the middle class and working people, created a tax structure that favored the very wealthiest Americans and caused the middle class and working people to struggle every single day. The destruction of the environment, you know, eliminating regulation of companies that were polluting and doing extraordinary damage to the environment."

"I can promise you this: this president will never use Ronald Reagan as an example for change.
