5. I can't tell you how happy I am that he has opted in for
public campaign financing. This is the only way to ensure that our government is independent and responds to all of us and not just wealthy people.

When Edwards came to L.A. he held an event and it only cost $15.00 to attend. That was in the very wealthy west side of L.A. People came from far and near to attend that event. Most of us cannot afford the $200.00 dinners and the like. Edwards is thinking of us. I really appreciate that. I want to see a day when candidates opt for public financing as a matter of course because they can't win if they take money from special interests.
