Your voice will be heard

Supporters cheered and applauded as Edwards gave a speech after Barack Obama won the South Carolina Democratic primary.

“Our campaign, from the very beginning, has been about one central thing, and that is to give a voice to millions of Americans without avoice in this democracy,” Edwards said.

Throughout his speech, Edwards said, “your voice will be heard throughout this campaign” and gave several examples.

“If you’re worried about being able to pay for your child to go to college or paying for books, your voice will be heard in this campaign,”Edwards said.

Leon Howard, the represenative from the South Carolina black caucas, said at the end of the day, everyone can rely on John Edwards.

“Edwards has not forgotten about rural South Carolina,” Howard said. “We’re proud that Edwards pushed the issue of poverty to theforefront.”

Jim Clyburn, a South Carolina representative, said this race is far from over.” I can assure you our next president will be John Edwards,” Clyburn said.
