Edwards For Prez Release

John Edwards Site -- Zeroing in on the economy in New Hampshire.

"George W. Bush's record is clear: Over 2.6 million lost jobs. $400 billion in lost retirement savings. $4.5 trillion in stock market losses. A $400 billion deficit," said Edwards. "I was a lawyer for nearly twenty years, and I have to tell you, this is the easiest case I've ever had to argue."

Citing the recent case of American Airlines, where management demanded huge concessions from workers after setting up a special $41 million trust to protect CEO pensions in the case of bankruptcy, Edwards offered a new proposal to prohibit companies from slashing workers' pensions and benefits while protecting their CEOs' pensions and perks.
