Mr. Edwards has betrayed Michigan. He will no longer be on the ballot in Michigan. He sent a clear message yesterday that he no longer wanted our vote. The people of Iowa and New Hampshire trump Michigan voters. Perhaps, Mr. Edwards does not want Michigan votes. However, he will continue to accept Michigan money. Mr. Edwards, no doubt, knew that he would be removing his name off of the Michigan ballot prior to Tuesday. Yet, I still received a myriad of e-mails, phone calls, and text messages from the campaign expressing their desire for me to donate cash. Recently, Elizabeth Edwards was in Grand Rapids, Michigan for a house party. It only cost $250 to attend. Did she know that her husband was contemplating his removal from the Michigan ballot at this time? If so, I am certain that she made no indication of the decision that night. Why did Mrs. Edwards walk a picket line with members of the United Auto Workers in Michigan the next day? Was it because the Edwards campaign is concerned with Michigan union workers? Or was it because of the looming SEIU endorsement decision? I think Mr. Edwards answered that question yesterday.
If there are any lingering doubts of Mr. Edwards’ apathy for Michigan, his campaign manager, David Bonior has trampled them. "In these early states issues matter more than money, celebrity and advertisements. Voters want and deserve a candidate who represents real people, not corporate special interests, and this primary process will help ensure that's exactly what the American people get," Mr. Bonior stated. Perhaps, as Mr. Bonior has insinuated, Michigan is only concerned with “money” and “corporate special interests.” If this is true, it is not saying much for Mr. Bonior, who was elected to Congress by Michigan voters for 26 years. But I disagree with Mr. Edwards and Mr. Bonior. Michigan, which would greatly benefit from many of these issues, wants a candidate for all Americans.

Here's a link to a great site where you may choose a card to send to a soldier in Iraq. Xerox will copy and mail the card. This is a great way to show support for our troops.
Congress could vote in the next fews weeks on a bill that would double our greenhouse gas emissions from planes and cars. It sounds crazy, but this is exactly what will happen if a current plan to use "liquid coal" passes. Coal is the dirtiest of fossil fuels and we have a serious global warming problem.
MoveOn.org is asking everyone to sign a petition urging Congress to vote no on tax breaks and subsidies on coal.
PLEASE HELP JOHN EDWARDS' MOTHER CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY!
June 1, 2007
Dear Friends,
It was nearly 54 years ago when my husband Wallace borrowed $50 to bring me and our new born boy home from the hospital back in Seneca, South Carolina. Today, a lot of people know John as an advocate, a senator, and maybe even as the next president. But Wallace and I will always know him simply as our son.
Next Sunday, June 10th, is our son John's birthday, and I'd like to ask you to help celebrate with us. Nothing would make John happier on his birthday than seeing how many people share his vision for this country and are ready to lend a hand.
We know everyone can't give a lot. But it's not about how much, it's about how many.
If every one of us gives just $6.10 to John's campaign before 6/10, we can do so much together for this country. Let's make John's birthday a celebration for America. Please add your $6.10 today:

And what's a birthday celebration without dessert? If you're able to give $6.10 to the campaign before 6/10 I'll send you a copy of my old family recipe for pecan pie—it's quite a favorite around here.
I wish I could make enough pie to thank everyone who supports my son. But the next best thing is to send you my secret recipe and hope that on June 10th we can both enjoy a slice.
Thank you,
Bobbie Edwards
Robbins, North Carolina
