The latest from Joe Trippi of the John Edwards for President Campaign (once again, sorry to "put the bite" on everyone like this)...
Yesterday, Jonathan told you that the folks who benefit from the status quo are attacking John personally because they don't want the country to hear his message.
And you know what happened when we called them out? The attacks started pouring in.
That same day, the Ann Coulter-wannabe Michelle Malkin blasted John on her blog. Fox News has been bashing him around the clock. And Coulter herself said, "if I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."
Typical (and don't hold your breath waiting for any of her foul peers to call her on this, of course).
We are fighting back, but we need your help. Give what you can today.

They are trying to put John away before he even gets started. Because they know what we know. They know that John has led on Iraq. That he has lead on universal health care. That he has led on global warming, on poverty, and on building One America.
And they are seeing what we're seeing—poll after poll showing John outperforming all other Democrats against all Republicans. In the latest poll from Rasmussen Reports, John is the only Democrat to beat Giuliani, McCain, Romney and Fred Thompson—and by an average of 13 points!
If you're a right-wing wing-nut, this is the scariest thing you can imagine—that the Democratic candidate with the boldest vision for America is also the most electable.
So they will stop at nothing to tear John down. We can stop them—but only if you stand up. We have 5 more days to reach our goal of $9 million. Give what you can today, and help us beat back this vicious tide.

We are counting on you—because we are not counting on corporate interests and D.C. lobbyists. John is the only candidate with a proven record of taking on corporate interests. He is the only candidate who hasn't taken a dime from D.C. lobbyists or political action committees. He hasn't sold out, and he hasn't forgotten where he came from.
But that means we need you to reach our goal. You, and the hundreds of thousands of other supporters on this list. If we all give today, we can turn our small change into big change—big change for America and the world.

With your help, we will keep pushing John's message in the critical early primary states. Today, we are launching a new TV spot in New Hampshire. People all across the state will hear John's message: if you want big change on poverty, global warming, health care, Iraq—if you want big change on all the issues that matter most, then join our cause.
We need to hit our goal of $9 million by Saturday to keep this ad on the air and continue reaching voters in New Hampshire, Iowa, and other key states nationwide. To see the ad, to help us hit that goal, and to keep the wing-nuts shaking in their boots, please give what you can afford today.

Your time is now—and we are counting on you.
Sincerely,
Joe Trippi

i had a call from the edwards campaign a couple of weeks ago, urging me to donate before the end of the 2d quarter... i asked the nice woman if she would be willing to hear some feedback and if she would pass it along to the candidate... she said sure... very patiently i explained that i believe our country to be in an extremely dangerous constitutional crisis, perhaps the worst crisis in our national history, and that i don't see any of the candidates exercising real leadership by standing up to call it for what it is, educating the citizens on the damage already done to our constitutional democracy, and calling us to action... i also said that, at this point, while i lean towards supporting john edwards more than any other candidate, unless and until he - or ANY candidate - is willing to assume leadership on that issue, my wallet will remain closed... finally, i told her to please call me back as soon as edwards had taken that vital step...
Understandable – that’s why I start off posts like this with an apology (and I may have another later for Patrick Murphy, since we’re getting near the end of the quarter). I believe this is an example of exercising your inalienable right as a U.S. citizen. I’d like to see Edwards “swinging for the fences” a bit more too, but I don’t think he’s going to make up ground on Obama and HRC that way; I know that isn’t much of an excuse, but it’s just my observation.
