When I was born, he had to borrow fifty dollars to bring me home here.

When the mills closed, I saw first hand how devastating bad government and corporate greed can be. 

I'm running for president to do what I've always done - fight for people like the ones I grew up with against the powerful forces that have corrupted Washington.

Don't tell me it can't be done. 

I'm John Edwards.  And I approve this message because growing up here, you never stop fighting. And you never forget where you came from.
