The Moral Test of Our Generation

"I saw the chase for campaign money at any cost by the frontrunner in this race — and I did not join it — because the cost to our nation and our children is not worth the hollow victory of any candidate. Being called president while powerful interests really run things is not the same as being free to lead this nation as president of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. If protecting the current established structure in Washington is in your interest, then I am not your candidate. I ran for president four years ago — yes, in part out of personal ambition — but also with a deep desire to stand for working people like my father and mother — who no matter how hard things were for our family, always worked even harder to make things better for us." - John Edwards -

John Edwards gave a stirring speech yesterday called "The Moral Test of Our Generation." He attacked corporate greed and all those politicians who engage in it. He hits Hillary hard, but more than that he makes the case for what our country can look like without the corruption that is commonplace. Read the speech, it is remarkable.
