Go John go! Since Edwards is the candidate who has taken no money from special interests, he has to fight harder in this campaign. He must take his message straight to the people! I admire him for keeping up the toughest schedule of anyone in this race. It is amazing to me that the more hectic his pace, the more energized he becomes. I guess he is fighting hard for what he believes in, and draws strength from that!

Edwards made more visits to Nevada than any other candidate, and many listened.

Caucus for this man, and let him know he does not need that special interest money. He's got us!

"Edwards came and left last night" makes it sound like Edwards is spending less time in Nevada. As I recall it, he has visited the state more often than any candidate.

Most importantly, Edwards is the candidate who will come back after the campaign is over. When Edwards ran for Senate in NC, he visited every county. After Edwards won, he kept on visiting, and continued to visit every county and connect with the people. It wasn't just about campaigning to him. It was real.

Caucus for John Edwards!

This article did not talk about the differences among the candidates with unions. John Edwards is the real pro-union candidate. He has been supporting unions all across the country long before this campaign ever began. Edward's campaign manager is Congressman David Bonoir, one of the strongest supporters of unions ever. Edwards listens to members, and not just to union leaders. He respects union leadership, but backs unions because of the members. He passionately wants to help Americans have real opportunities and better lives. Edwards has seen the rug pulled out from under family and neighbors as a young man watching textile mills closing all around him. He will never forget. He will never stop working. Edwards is the ONLY candidate who speaks for unions everywhere he goes, and to all audiences. He is the only candidate who is pro-union in his general campaign materials, and does not have an extra flier he uses only in pro-union areas. He supports the unions. Period. There is a big, big difference in being pro-union only when you need votes to win a primary. Will this kind of promise be kept? Edwards is the candidate every union member in Nevada should caucus for. Not merely caucus for, but caucus proudly for. Show the country that union members have good memories, and understand real loyalty.

Does anyone buy it when, primary after primary, Hillary listens to people and makes some amazing and touching new discovery??!! How ignorant does she think we are?

John Edwards worked hard in New Orleans, before this campaign even began, to help home owners keep their homes. He also worked there many times with a shovel and a hammer. John Edwards has understood this, and all of the other key issues, for a long long time. And he has enough respect to talk straight to us about it.

John Edwards. Straight talk. Honest. Please caucus for Edwards!

I believe that Hillary means well. But the powerful influences of Washington politics will overwhelm anyone who is too tied into it. Too many favors to repay, to many deals to make good on. Only one candidate is completely free of any "strings attached". John Edwards. It is a lot harder to campaign without making deals and taking money along the way, but in the end Edwards will owe only one group. Us. Regular American people. Edwards will fight hard for us, and have nothing holding him back.

Stand up for John Edwards at caucus. He is the candidate who truly is standing up for you, and always will.
