In light of the killings at Virginia Tech, the Right is about to launch it’s anti-Hollywood rhetoric, while the Left once again hits its head against the stone wall of the NRA. This is the moment for Senator Edwards to show leadership by announcing his plan to offer Homeland Security grants for schools to “harden” their classroom doors.
Yesterday, I witnessed the youth of my town in action and I am proud of them. I was caught in traffic in front of Rio Linda High School in a town, in Sacramento County, which holds the seat of the Capitol of California. Children carrying signs advocating their Civil Rights as a minority in the place where they spend the majority of their waking hours, made me proud. The signs of the future are here, now! These children carried banners and picket signs stating their rights as Americans who happen to be gay, lesbian and bi-sexual, to be free to express themselves at their school.
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – The John Edwards for President campaign announced today that Joe Trippi will be joining the campaign as a key member of the media team and senior advisor.

Both the Clinton and Obama campaigns are now playing catch-up on policy ideas. John Edwards, who’s running third in fund-raising and the early polls, has tried to grab attention by releasing a series of specific proposals.
As a small newspaper publisher in a rural area, I get accused of sensationalizing stuff all the time. But nothing compares to the kind of hit piece that appears here. This is supposed to be news??
Who cares about Edwards’ hair? A politician has to be in public view on TV 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore, their hair cuts are not anything like our hair cuts. Rove is insulting the intelligence of the American people by thinking that they are more interested in candidates’ personal habits than they are about the issues facing this country.
