My parents and grandparents worked in the mills here. 

Like yours, they did it to give us a better life. 

I was the first in my family to go to college.

And I spent my life fighting for middle class families hurt by powerful interests. 

Big corporations control Washington now.

They’re not going to give up without a fight.

Saving the middle class is going to be an epic battle. 

It’s a fight I was born for. 

I’m John Edwards. 

I approve this message and I will never forget where I came from.
