Thank you all very much. We’re very proud to be back here.
During the spring of 2006, I had the extraordinary experience of bringing 700 college kids here to New Orleans to work. These are kids who gave up their spring break to come to New Orleans to work, to rehabilitate houses, because of their commitment as Americans, because they believed in what was possible, and because they cared about their country.
I began my presidential campaign here to remind the country that we, as citizens and as a government, have a moral responsibility to each other, and what we do together matters. We must do better, if we want to live up to the great promise of this country that we all love so much.

Bush plan omits critical state aid from so-called “stimulus” package
Jefferson City, Missouri – During an event in Jefferson City today, Senator John Edwards called on Congress to fix George Bush’s flawed economic stimulus plan to include Edwards’ proposal for federal financial assistance to states – including up to $375 million to help solve Missouri’s looming budget deficit. Missouri is currently projecting a budget deficit in 2010 and beyond.
“States like Missouri need immediate help – or we could see devastating cuts to education, health care and other basic services, along with increases in property taxes,” Edwards said. “Providing this assistance to states will not only protect our schools and our most vulnerable citizens, but represents an important and critical step to avoid a recession.”

Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Tonight, Senator John Edwards released the following statement in response to President Bush’s State of the Union address:
“The president tonight renewed his call for an economic recovery plan. But the plan he and Congress have offered leaves out tens of millions of Americans who need help the most. This plan would take months to have any impact, and the people I meet everyday on the campaign trail do not have months to wait. These people are hurting now and need this help now. Over the past seven years, typical workers’ paychecks have failed to keep up with inflation, millions of families are facing the loss of their homes to foreclosures, health insurance premiums have doubled, and families are spending $1,000 more a year on gasoline. The State of the Union may be interesting political theater, but until we find bold solutions to the challenges facing the country, we will be stuck with the same old small, Washington answers.
