August 11, 2006--Former Sen. John Edwards spoke
at a fundraiser for Dallas County Democrats at Prairieview Middle School
gym in Waukee. Edwards called for American leadership in "a very
dangerous world" and appealed to members of the audience to "stand arm
and arm for the things that we believe in with backbone and strength and
vision and passion." He emphasized the need to increase understanding
of America and Americans around the world:
So when you're out there working in these elections--these local elections, these statewide elections and the national elections--I want you to think beyond the Democratic party. Because literally the future of America and the world is at stake here. And the world needs to see who we are. The need to see what we're made of. |
