John Edwards: 'Opportunity Rocks' against poverty

By Samara Kalk Derby

Poverty is the great moral issue facing America today, former U.S. senator and 2004 vice presidential candidate John Edwards told a crowd of UW-Madison students.

The country is hungry for a big issue - a cause, a calling - it can get involved in, Edwards told about 500 people Wednesday afternoon at the Wisconsin Union Theater. "If you don't believe me, look at the reaction to Hurricane Katrina," he said.

The government reacted slowly, while the people themselves took action, volunteering and donating money to help victims, Edwards said.

"Americans are looking for something moral and just. Something other than this mess in Iraq we are engaged in," he said to overwhelming applause........
