Thank You from John Edwards
Let me start by saying, "Thank you." You have stood with Elizabeth and me throughout this campaign. Your support has sustained us as we have traveled across this country. Earlier today, I suspended my campaign for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. I made this announcement from where our journey began just over 12 months ago: New Orleans. I began my presidential campaign in New Orleans to remind the country that all of us -- as citizens and as a government -- have a moral responsibility to each other, and what we do together matters.
Now, it's time for me to step aside so that history can blaze its path. We do not know who will take the final steps to the White House -- but what we do know is that our Democratic Party will make history. And, along the way, all of you who have been involved in this campaign and this movement for change and this cause, I am asking you to continue speaking out for those who have no voice, just as Elizabeth and I will continue to do. We need you. Do not turn away from the great struggles before us. Do not give up on the causes that we have fought for. Do not walk away from what's possible, because it's time for all of us -- all of us together -- to make the two Americas one. We need you.
Elizabeth and my family join me in thanking all of you for your support and for working so hard on my behalf. We are truly blessed to have such friends. Thank you.

We Had a Good Run
Today, John Edwards announced that he would be stepping away from his presidential campaign "so that history can blaze its path". I can only respond by saying that we had a good run. Things could have been different if John wasn't in the shadows of the first possible female or African-American president. We gained support and made this campaign as strong as we could, but the ending was sour. All we can do is move on and be proud of the strides we made, the things we accomplished and the message we carried. As Dr. Seuss said, "don't cry because its over, smile because it happened".
As for this blog, it will not turn into 'The Daily Barack' or 'The Daily Hillary'. I will continue to update periodically with Edwards and One America Committee news. I will not campaign or work for another candidate, but I will support the Democratic nominee, whoever that turns out to be.
We should thank John for leading this campaign and for fighting for what was worth fighting for. Edwards was the best candidate for the job and put forth the boldest agenda for change for America in this race. We did our best. I was an Edwards supporter, I am an Edwards supporter and I will always be an Edwards supporter.

Message From John
John Edwards' remarks today in New Orleans:
I began my presidential campaign here to remind the country that we, as citizens and as a government, have a moral responsibility to each other, and what we do together matters. We must do better, if we want to live up to the great promise of this country that we all love so much.
It is appropriate that I come here today. It's time for me to step aside so that history can blaze its path. We do not know who will take the final steps to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but what we do know is that our Democratic Party will make history. We will be strong, we will be unified, and with our convictions and a little backbone we will take back the White House in November and we'll create hope and opportunity for this country.

Help Break a Record
Last Friday, I challenged you to help us raise $360,000 by January 31. Here's the good news: thousands of you responded and now, with 48 hours to go, we're just $73,000 from raising more money for this campaign in one month than in any previous three month period.
That's right -- we're that close to setting this fundraising record for the campaign. Will you help us get there?
Raising this money gives us the opportunity to expand our efforts in the next round of key states that will vote or caucus on February 5. It allows us to buy time to broadcast spots, purchase newspaper advertisements, organize public events with John Edwards and expand our phone bank calls. That's why we appreciate so much your response to the challenge so far -- and why I'm asking you to help us raise the $73,000 that will put us over the top.
This is still a three-person race for the Democratic nomination. We have identified the key February 5 states where we know John Edwards will have a strong showing -- and where we are going to win delegates. Over the next 7 days, John is crisscrossing the country, taking his message of bold change into these key states. This is the message he has said he intends to carry all the way to the Democratic Convention, the nomination -- and then on to the White House. Your continuing support means a great deal to John and to this campaign. I know you can help us set a new campaign record between now and January 31 -- and your contribution today will make a difference for us as we head toward the important contests on February 5. Thank you for all you do.

Onward!
The South Carolina primary is over and now this campaign moves on to "Super Tuesday" on February 5. Its not about winning states anymore, its about winning delegates and if John gets a strong number of delegates, that will take us to the nomination and beyond. We have to inform voters and get our message across. We cannot count on the media to do that. John is constantly placed in the shadows of the two $100 million candidates. At this point we have to a) get used to it, b) get over it and c) take matters into our own hands. This campaign was built on grassroots support and with that support we can take John to the White House. Samuel Adams said that "it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds”. As Edwards supporters we are in a minority, but when we join together our message resonates louder than any candidate's. We can be successful, but that success can only come with hard work. Together, we can do it.

Your Voice Will Be Heard
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

Welcome To The Daily John
This blog was created to increase support for the Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards. John is a tough, hard-working, honest American who will stand up for the middle class, take down the big corporations and make America great again.
Unfortunately, the two celebrity candidates, (hint: one rhymes with Ocomma and one rhymes with Blinton), have made this campaign focus on their feud and endless bickering. The big corporations want John to go away. The two $100 million candidates want John to go away. But he won't. John is in this for the long haul and needs our support now! John intends on being his party's nominee and he can do it with our help. Its time we get a real person in the White House, not just a politician. Its time we join to together to get John to the White House. Its time you join the Campaign to Change America.
