All their emails talk about "real change" but mention nothing specific at all. What a joke. I liked Edwards 4 years ago, but after learning more about him this year I know he's a horrible candidate. Horrible.

Dear Mark,
Imagine election night 2008. From around the country the results are coming in thick and fast. We've won Missouri, Kansas, Ohio, Kentucky... it's a Democratic landslide....
By the time the election night dust settles, the Washington pundits are speechless—the Democratic Party has won 280 seats in the House and 61 seats in the Senate, majorities that allow the new Democratic president to implement bold and vigorous change. The day of deadlocked agendas and timid politics is over.
A pipe dream? Far from it.
With retirements and scandals among Republicans continuing to open up more competitive seats in the Senate, and the disgraced policies of George Bush dragging down the Republicans in House and state-level races in nearly every district in the country, Democrats across the country know next year could be more than just an election year—it could be the year when a fundamental realignment takes place, from state houses to the White House.
In states like Texas, Oklahoma, Maine, Wisconsin, Georgia, Virginia, North Dakota and Missouri, John Edwards enjoys strong support from Democratic legislators and leaders. They understand that the Democratic Party needs a nominee who can compete—and win—in red, blue and purple states across the country and help sweep Democrats at all levels to victory in 2008.
John Edwards is committed to a 50 state strategy—and that's why we're asking you to contribute to our "$50 for 50 states" campaign, a campaign to expand the political map.

The difference between winning or losing control of legislative chambers in many states will be greatly influenced by who is the nominee for the general election. The best chance—in some areas, the only chance—of ensuring Democratic control throughout this country is with John Edwards leading the charge for Democrats next fall.
We can expand the map and build on John's record of fighting for Democrats in all 50 states. We can continue to build the infrastructure for Democratic victories across the nation in 2008. But it will only happen if we put a true fighter at the top of the ticket—one who will strengthen the hands of Democrats running in red states as well as blue.

What will your $50 contribution to help expand the map mean? Expanding the map will mean we don't have to triangulate. Some candidates argue that they're the best candidate because they know the system in Washington, D.C.—but that's not what we need now.
Americans deserve more than a president who supports a system that has allowed a decade of inaction on raising the minimum wage... that ignores economic justice and rising unemployment... and that shows little concern for the health of the working men and women of this country.
In 2008, Democrats deserve a candidate who will help sweep stronger Democratic majorities into the House and Senate—and Americans deserve a president who will lead those majorities to end the game and return power in Washington to real working Americans.
That opportunity is before us in this election—but only if we put the right candidate at the top of the ticket on November 4th.
To make that opportunity real, we need you to act today to support John Edwards—to work from this day forward not just to win the White House, but to lay the political foundation that will change America.

From the beginning of this race, John Edwards has thought big about the changes we need to make. Now it's time for all of us to think big with him—and to think beyond the top of the ticket to creating the Democratic majorities we will need to enact real change for America.
John Edwards is building on his broad support among state elected officials in red, blue and purple states. So please, join John, and Democratic elected officials all across the country who are working to expand the map, by taking action today:

P.S. And remember, that with public financing, your contribution of $50 could be doubled, so having twice the impact on electing Democrats at all levels.
