MoveOn Virtual Town Hall Begins With John Edwards
MoveOn executive director Eli Pariser gave a one minute introduction to former vice presidential candidate John Edwards before members posed three questions about the Iraq War, namely having to do with how to end it and how to end corrupt government contracting practices there.
"I voted for the war. I was wrong and I take responsibility for that," Edwards said before answering. He also said the government needs to end no bid contracts and reform the revolving door. He said those leaving government should not go to firms seeking contracts for 12 months.
Edwards praised netroots activists for making the Iraq War a priority and highlighting the need for policy changes. He said Congress needs to find the courage to act. "They'll find it in your letters. They'll find it in your calls. They'll find it in your voice," Edwards said as part of his one minute closing statement.
