JRE Buzz (8)

Still a lot of buzz goin' on.

NC Dem has posted the latest version of JRE News at the OAC Blog. She knows how to do graphics so well...great round up. It's nice that she, mbair, and I are collaborating on getting the news out, along with Michka.

Jackie R reports that both John and Elizabeth Edwards will be in Iowa in July. 7/7 for JRE, Memorial Park, Indianola, Iowa.BBQ..7/27 for Elizabeth at Dr. Andy Mcguire's home 100 37th st. Des Moines, IA...7th Annual Polk County Women's event. Woot!

ACORN is having its annual meeting July 8-10 on the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, OH, and JRE, along with some other heavy hitters, has been asked to speak on the afternoon of July 9th (confirmed by ACORN via e-mail). Erik Eckholm wrote a really nice piece about ACORN in today's NYT, but I am linking from to the Common Dreams site, which is how I found out JRE's speaking engagement.

Nice LTTE in the Daily Iowan (student newspaper at UIowa) in which someone from Kentucky (perhaps an alum?) wrote:


Edwards offers hope

"If former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., runs for president in 2008, he will get my vote. If his vision for America resonates with most voters, it will show we want to be a generous people willing to work for the common good by placing others' interests above our own self-interests. "

There's more..click on the link to read the rest.

JRE will be calling into Air America's Sam Seder's show this afternoon, according to the OAC blog.

The Juice Blog posted a column about Abner Doubleday, the creator of baseball. The poster contacted John Edward, the famous medium about trying to reach Doubleday's spirit for an interview, but Edward was too busy. Then the poster wrote:
Next, I contacted former vice presidential candidate John Edwards, as his name is very similar. Edwards was not as busy, but didn't know how he could help me reach anyone in the spirit world. He was glad to share with me about how there are two Americas, though.


LOL, the Senator would smile at that comment.
