"Let's go to work."

"Your country needs you. DON'T TURN AWAY."

That's what John Edwards said to us. The good guy, the guy in the white hat.

And damned if he isn't right. I don't like any of the choices, but fuck it. This is my damned country and I'll keep fighting.

LET'S GO TO WORK!

Damn, I need to go get more tissues. Wish I'd known this speech was coming before I put mascara on this morning. :cry:

3. Let's go to work.

He is right. Anyone and everyone who supports his efforts for social justice should get back to work.

4. YES.

The issues are bigger than the candidates, and he was the only one who recognized that. The problems facing our country aren't going to go away just because we won't look at them.
