Okay. You won't see this on MSNBC or CNN, or in the NY Times or Washington Post, who don't care about this stuff anyway, just hair and hedge funds. You won't see diary after diary on this subject either. I concede, it's not earth shattering. But it is noteworthy that there's a new issues page at the Edwards campaign web site, and I wanted to bring it to the attention for those who may not know, but who may care.
Here is the link: http://johnedwards.com/...
As a preface, Edwards says:
In America, everyone should have a fair opportunity to realize their dreams, no matter where they came from. John Edwards is running for president to build One America where every American can work hard and build a better life, the same opportunity that Edwards had. At the same time, America's leadership role in the world has grown out of our moral strength as an example for the world, not just our economic and military strength.
In sum, here are the areas of John Edwards' Plan To Build One America.
Standing Up For Regular Families
* Health Care
* Poverty
* Rural America
* Tax Simplification
* Working Families
* Predatory Mortgages
* Debt and Savings
* Food Safety
Restoring America's Leadership Role In The World
* Iraq
* Global Poverty
* Military
* Terrorism/Homeland Security
* Darfur and Uganda
Investing In Our Future And Our Communities
* Energy/Environment
* Education
* College Affordability
* Veterans/Military Families
Aside from plan specifics, each section has links to fact sheets, news stories pertaining to the subject, and speeches. Sometimes there are videos or links to podcasts. There's a lot to digest!
Of course, any issues page is a work in progress, and I expect there will be further additions with time, as more information becomes available. But now one can go to the Edwards web site and see what his supporters have been saying, that John Edwards has the most detailed, comprehensive, substantive plans and approaches to real world problems of ANY candidate. See for yourselves that his plans and approaches best promote the betterment of humanity, here and globally, and seek to give voice to those who are the least able to be heard in this system that now unfairly rewards the wealthy and most powerful.
We need transformation, not baby steps. The world is disintegrating before our eyes at an ever quickening pace. Edwards will engineer the transformation train. He will call for action and sacrifice from everyone. He is ready to fight for these causes. He has already driven the issues of this campaign. The information found in his issues page is among the best evidence of the direction that Edwards will lead us, the right direction, if we are truly willing to go.

UPDATE I(EDITED): I knew the BREAKING would raise some hackles and it was raised as not only snark, but to gather more attention. Is this not why people post diaries in the first place? I apologize if you are offended. However, after all the irrelevant and numerous diaries that appear at DKos, like on impeachment, Coulter, even Paris Hilton's jail escapades, I was also interested to see who would comment about nothing except the title. I am surprised that people actually find this so important, as compared to actual substance. That is a sad thing about DKos, the "correctness" of it all. My small rant. Carry on!
UPDATE II: The commotion. Again, sorry to the sensibilities of all those so offended by this eggregious harm in the title of a diary. Maybe I should ask for a Bush commutation. Or has that already been diaried? The link, again, for benefit of those interested in issues is: http://johnedwards.com/...
