Edwards called to raise the federal minimum wage to $9.50 by 2012

From John Morgan of the Pennsylvania Progressive blog:

"It's been a long day and an interesting one. Some of the crowd left after Hillary finished, and Kucinich got such a rousing reception to some of his oratory, we couldn't hear what he was saying. 

Edwards obviously knows all these ACORN people and it's because he's worked closely with them to support their policies and initiatives.  John Edwards directly addressed ACORN's issues without even being asked.  He did his homework and he came prepared.  Impressive.  Edwards speaks passionately about the issues of the poor and it obviously comes from his heart."

From Edwards' One America press release:

John Edwards believes that we need to build One America where everyone has an opporrtunity to work hard and build a better life.  He has proposed initiatives to guarantee universal health care, strengthen unions, and crack down on predatory lending.
