FRESNO BEE ENDORSES JOHN EDWARDS FOR PRESIDENT
California’s sixth largest paper picks Edwards for his leadership in standing up for middle class families
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Today, California’s Fresno Bee endorsed Senator John Edwards for President citing his leadership in standing up for middle class families and ending the war in Iraq.
“Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards’ campaign for president offers a
much-needed vision that recognizes the hope and promise of America,” the
editorial board wrote. “It’s a view that includes solidifying the plight of
working families and others in the middle class. This group of Americans has
struggled the past eight years under an administration that has catered to the
well-connected and powerful, and it’s time for leadership that understands the
contributions and needs of American families. We believe that John Edwards can
provide that leadership and urge Democratic and independent voters to support
him in the California primary on Feb. 5.”
Last week, more than 1,000
supporters attended a community meeting with Senator Edwards at the Southern
California Public Service Workers’ headquarters in Los Angeles. Edwards enjoys
the support of more than 760,000 union members across California, including the
support of California’s single largest union, the California SEIU State Council.
Edwards has also won the support of dozens of diverse Democratic elected
officials and party leaders from every region of the Golden State.
