John Edwards: America Rising, Coast to Coast

John Edwards, you remember him the medias favorite forgotten candidate. Edwards who has vowed to stay in the presidential race all the way to the convention, is starting his three day America Rising, Coast to Coast tour beginning Thursday January 17. The purpose of the tour is for Edwards to share with voters his detailed plans to stand up to the powerful interests and make sure hard-working families can get ahead.

Edwards will bring his fight for the middle class to red states and blue states from the West Coast to the East Coast.

As a sign of his commitment to making sure the voices of all Americans are heard in Washington. Edwards will travel to red states and blue states from the West Coast to the East Coast. Born to a working class family and raised in small, rural mill towns, Edwards understands the struggles facing hard-working families. His message of change is resonating with voters in red states and blue states, in big cities and small towns.

During the tour, Edwards will visit Nevada, California, Oklahoma, Missouri, Georgia and South Carolina to demonstrate his broad, coast to coast strength and his advantage as the best candidate to win the general election. In addition to strong grassroots support in these states, Edwards also enjoys the support of numerous labor groups and state and local elected officials. A recent CNN poll showed Edwards was the only Democrat to beat all four leading Republicans nationally, and state by state polls show even more conclusively that Edwards is the most electable democrat in key battleground states and even wins in states like Missouri and Oklahoma that have gone “red” in recent presidential elections. As former Georgia Governor Roy Barnes has said: “John Edwards is the best positioned to win all across the country—not just part of it.“.
