EdwardsProviding the complete litigation record for John Edwards Born: June 10, 1953, Seneca, South Carolina Occupation: United States Senator, North Carolina Prior Occupation: Trial Lawyer Education: B.S., North Carolina State University, 1974J.D., University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, 1977 Can we Count on Edwards? New U.S. President in 2008 The injustice of California in the Presidential election process. Because of the electoral process and its far Western location, even though California is the most populous and economically powerful state, the Presidential elections are usually over before California’s votes are counted. Also, because California almost always votes Democratic, candidates from both parties spend very little time campaigning in California. Unfortunately, this attitude carries over after the election, and California is not respected by politicians at the national level. Because California always gets short changed, I want to help out. It has been discriminated against. We never get any relief, or declared state of emergency, despite endless earthquakes, mudslides, or fires, California receives no federal help whatsoever. California has the highest gasoline prices and the highest cost of living, but the rest of the country seems to think that California deserves all of it. Yet, Silicon Valley produces great revenues for the U.S. What’s the matter with Kansas? Bush likes Texas and Latin Americans, he doesn’t care for California. Bush looks like he likes to appoint many Latinos to top positions, they are commerce secretary Carlos Gutierrez, Attorney General Al Gonzalez, and assistant secretary of the Air Force Dominguez. Texas and California have more Latinos than whites, does Bush want Latinos to become the majority in every state? California is beleaguered and sacked in the medical field. Just take a look in the County hospital. Before we went on vacation and needed a Hepatitis shot, the hospital was all filled with Mexicans. The Heart Center trauma rooms are packed with Mexican migrant workers and construction workers. This prevents a normal patient to receive proper care, as there is so much competition from too many immigrants, legal or illegal, to prevent people from receiving timely medical help. The American taxpayers have ever so large a burden to share the cost to take care of large Latino families in their education and medical bills. California may need to turn to the Democrats to change the plight of the invasions from the borders, such as New Mexico Democrat Richardson filed a state of emergency to boost the control of criminals, drug dealers, and the terrorists crossing the border from Mexico. Edwards recently was invited to attend a New Hampshire party. Some people were telling him about the plight of some programs, such as “Operation Head Start”, and he listened to different views. I have sympathy for him because his wife Elizabeth has cancer, and she was kind enough to help out with cancer awareness. Many people in my family have had cancer, so I have a special spot in my heart for cancer victims. Bush’s view on stem cell research clashed with Bill Frist on the last day of congress. I tend to agree with the Doctor Bill Frist on this issue. If there are restrictions on medical research, the odds are too much against people with hereditary diseases like cancer and diabetes. The Democrats need to figure out a new image. They need to hammer out a new platform, rather just Bush bashing, anti-Bush all of the time.
