Reply #15: No, he doesn't - [View All]

The top two stories are from August/September respectivley - the third story (from November) is actually pretty positive:

Edwards's work with the poor went beyond the campus center. In September 2005, he helped launch the College for Everyone pilot program, assisting graduating seniors at Greene Central High School in rural eastern North Carolina to pay for college. As a requirement for being in the program, students had to work 10 hours a week and remain out of trouble. The fund provided more than 80 scholarships totaling $300,000 for the class of 2006, and more than 60 percent of the senior class applied to college, compared with 50 percent the previous year.

and there are more examples of his poverty work if you took the time to read the whole article.

As for the first claim by you: he STILL has money invested in Fortress?

DES MOINES, Iowa - Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who has called homeownership "the foundation of the American dream," said Friday he will divest his holdings in funds linked to lenders that have foreclosed on Hurricane Katrina victims.

"I will not have my family's money involved in these firms that are foreclosing on people in New Orleans," he told the Associated Press.
