GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (RUSHPRNEWS) May 14, 2008-

Friend — I have some very exciting news. My good friend John Edwards is endorsing our campaign and joining our movement for change. We’re here in Grand Rapids, Michigan — and if you receive this message in time, you can probably turn on your TV and be part of the moment. I’m deeply honored by John’s support.

 He is a true leader who dedicated his career to improving the lives of ordinary Americans. John ran a strong, principled campaign for president, focusing on a number of important issues where we share common ground — universal health care, bringing our troops home from Iraq, and eliminating poverty in America.

The way he ran his campaign was also important. He ran in a way that reflected our shared conviction that we need to fundamentally change politics.

Like our campaign, John’s campaign never accepted donations from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACs. Let’s welcome John Edwards to the campaign with an outpouring of the kind of grassroots support that is bringing our political process back to the people.

Make a donation of whatever you can afford now, and if you choose, include your own note to Senator Edwards.

I’ll make sure he gets them: https://donate.barackobama.com/johnedwards

Thank you for all that you’re doing, Barack
