Politics: John Edwards is looking for five people who care

September 17, 2007
By Billy Dennis

I’ve tried to get myself on the mailing lists of as many political candidates as possible. So far, the only one who regularly sends me stuff if the Barack Obama campaign. For all his reputation as an Internet-based candidate, Ron Paul has yet to email me anything.

Today, I was shocked to find this email from John Edwards:

Dear Billy,

New Orleans has a special place in my heart.

Over the past two years, I have traveled to New Orleans on numerous occasions. It was from the front yard of a New Orleans home-destroyed by Hurricane Katrina- that I launched my campaign for president on December 28 last year. And it was from New Orleans that I started my Road to One America this past summer.

Soon, I will return to New Orleans to work alongside families who are rebuilding their homes and their lives. Will you join me?

I’m looking for five people who are prepared to get their hands dirty and work hard. I’ve asked my campaign team to select five supporters to join me in New Orleans. By contributing any amount you can afford between now and September 30th, you could be one of them.

For me, New Orleans represents the promise of America because the people of New Orleans have shown tremendous resilience, even when their government forgot them.

This campaign is about change-the kind of change that doesn’t ignore or brush away the hard-working men and women of New Orleans, but that is ready to roll up its sleeves, take responsibility, and get to work.

But to do that, I need your support. I want you to join me in sending an unmistakable message to the Washington insiders, the lobbyists and the political action committees-change, real change, is on its way.

It’s your support that sustains me as I campaign across this country and that’s why-over the next two weeks-I’m asking you to contribute whatever you can. If we can rebuild New Orleans together, then we can build One America together. Can I count on your support today?

Thank you for your support and your commitment to making a difference.

Sincerely,

John Edwards

    I also get e-mail from the Paul campaign on a regular basis. I did have to tell my e-mail provider that the stuff from Paul wasn’t spam.

    You haven’t signed up for Joe Biden’s mailings yet? I get, on the average, about one thing a day. Somedays, nothing, somedays, two things.

    He’s my guy!

    Floyd: He’s probably just signing his name to old Walter Mondale emails.
