Last week, DFA co-hosted "United against Poverty;" a day-long conference that brought together hundreds of activists from across Vermont and New England to address the crisis of poverty. The event was held on the campus of the University of Vermont. Senator John Edwards gave the keynote address. You can watch the Senator's address here:

Though the Democracy for America headquarters staff was decidedly in the Howard Dean camp during the presidential primary, we were all excited to meet Senator John Edwards after his keynote at the conference:

1. Bush's budget is immoral....he got it backwards.

condemns Health Savings accounts....ridiculous response to serious crises.

Watch the interview with the press as well as the speech. Thinking about Elizabeth's health before any decision on 08.

Excellent speech and interview.
