While scanning through Big Russ & Me, I came to the epilogue and while looking over it I realized that this could have come from any father, from any town in any state...from any father that loves their children and only wants what is best for them.

After a couple of hours of standing in line and another hour and a half waiting in the gym, I finally got to see and hear our Dem candidate for President of the United States...wow...just wow. He was absolutely amazing.

This is going to be a short diary. I don't think a lot of words are needed. As the election gets closer and the candidates promise us a stairway straight to heaven if you will just give them your vote, remember to take a minute and think.

If I Can Dream

In honor of Elvis Presley who passed away thirty years ago on August 16, 1977. I can remember very well the day Elvis died...can you? I guess I'm aging myself telling that bit of info but really I was just a toddler ;D Ok, on the news roundup below the fold...
 

HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY JOHN AND ELIZABETH!

Please join us for a special EENR anniversary celebration for John and Elizabeth below the fold...

What a great day to be a John Edwards' supporter! It's like with your own kid on awards day at school. You know they are great and have worked hard to get where they are but when their name is called out to come up on stage and receive their award, you fill with pride. People got to see last night what we have all have been seeing for a long time now and that is John Edwards is the best qualified person to become President of the United States. I have to say I was and am a very proud supporter. Everyone got to see the passion and fire in John Edwards that we all knew was there to begin with. When I put my support stamp on anyone that speaks about who I am personally and I pretty picky with that. I don't give my support to just anybody...they have to earn and John Edwards has earned it many times over.

"Everyday, one in eight Americans wakes up in poverty. That's not okay. Today, we have Two Americas in our country - one America that has everything it needs and another that is struggling to get by. Our next president needs not only to understand the struggles facing the 37 million Americans living in poverty, but also have a plan to lift them up out of poverty. That is what this tour and my campaign are about - giving them a voice so that we can build One America, where every person has the opportunity to work hard and get ahead."-John Edwards

Good evening everyone! Tonight's EENR will be focused on JRE's up and coming Road to One America Tour. To get us started, here is the eulogy given at the funeral of Robert F Kennedy by Teddy Kennedy. I'm in no way trying to say John is RFK...although they do share a lot of the same ideas and RFK's focus always seemed to be on helping those less fortunate just as JRE. John Edwards is a strong man in his own right and has brought fresh new ideas to the table for this election but one cannot help but see the  similarites of their message and their dreams to make the world a better place for us all.

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Elizabeth
Happy birthday to you....and many more :-)

From everyone here at Daily Kos, we would want to wish the happiest birthday ever! You are a national treasure Elizabeth and we all look forward to the day we will be able to call you our First Lady.

I have been hearing a lot of horror stories on television lately about what a hassle it has become to fly. Well, I had no idea just how bad until it took my husband 48 hours almost just to get out of the country. More below the flip.

Tonight's diary will be short and to the point. I have two very sick family members that need me right now. Hubby has been running a temp for almost a week and we have no idea what the problem is and MIL is coughing a lot and not eating...it's not good at my house right now. Hubby leaves for France in a week and a half and that scares me to death to think of him going out of the country as sick as he is right now so any good thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated.

Now, with that all said, follow me below the fold and we'll look to see what John has been up to today.

Yes, that's right today is my 31st wedding anniversary...31 years to a wonderful, caring and understanding man. A man much like John Edwards...or at least that's how I see him. I guess that' what appeals to me so much in John Edwards. I see a leader. I see a man that will unite the country. I see loyal husband and father and so much more....the same as I see in my hubby. Pity for hubby though...I'm sure not Elizabeth Edwards but she is someone I look up to and I do wish I could be more like her. Ok, that's all the gushy mushy stuff for now...on to the news for tonight...

Good evening everyone! Hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend. It's time to sit back and relax and enjoy this nice spring evening here with fellow Edwards supporters...well it's a hot spring evening here in Tennessee...temp got up into the 90s today and it's just May! More after the flip...

Good evening everyone! Hope everyone had a good day today and now sit back and work on having a good night with some wonderful news...Elizabeth Edwards paid us a visit here at Daily Kos tonight. More below the fold
