Edwards’ Words – On Tape and in NH
Sen. Edwards hosted a town hall meeting in Hudson, NH, on Sunday. I went with some ONE members to make sure that the poorest people on Earth were represented, even in the Granite State!
I took to higher ground to videotape a question from a ONE member to Sen. Edwards, but before we could get the questions asked, Sen. Edwards started to talk about US efforts to eradicate poverty in Africa, in response to a question about restoring America’s moral standing in the world.
I got it all on tape, and even got some footage of ONE member Melissa talking with Sen. Edwards after his speech!
