Edwards has gone up against the huge resources of corporate interests before --AND WON!!
Advertisements [?]
As a plaintiff's attorney, it does not take long to realize that you will always be 'outgunned' financially and resourcewise when it comes to taking on the defendant's insurance company. They almost always have at their disposal an unlimited cash reserve to call upon, access to high powered law firms and their resources, and can afford to bring in expert witnesses to testify on any issue they think will be to their benefit.

The plaintiff's attorney and his/her client have to trust the rightness of the cause, and trust one another to navigate together the difficult road to recovery of compensation for the client's injuries. Many do not ever reach that goal due to financial ruin, health deterioration, and an inability to survive the process that can take years to complete. The financial pressure of medical bills and loss of jobs often results in marital stress --and many times divorce.

John Edwards operated in this environment for many years, went up against the odds for his clients, and won. In fact he won so often that many insurance companies did settle rather than go to trial with him.

We need someone who has stood up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. We need someone who will fight for what is right. We need someone who will not run when they see the resources that have combined to oppose them.

We desperately need John Edwards to help us win this fight. Our future, and the future of our children, our grandchildren, and the well-being of the environment depend on us winning this fight.

We should pick our best fighter to lead us. WE NEED JOHN EDWARDS!!!
