Dear US Citizens,
Through his official site, we have a website to collect donations for John Edwards. Please, at least check it out. Donations go straight to them.

I also like Dennis Kucinich. I like Hillary & Barak, but they have no trouble getting enough campaign funds. John Edwards is a very decent human being, the type our great nation sorely needs!!!
Thank you!
