Edwards to Campaign in Iowa with Rockers Raitt, Browne
Davenport, Iowa-
Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards will campaign with rockers Bonnie Raitt, and Jackson Browne for a two day trip in Iowa, starting tomorrow in Davenport. Raitt, a Grammy Award winning musician, said she was proud to support Edwards.
“John Edwards is a leading voice for change in our country,” said Raitt in a prepared statement. “He’s been one of the only strong, effective advocates for ending the war in Iraq and bringing our troops home. And when he talks about creating opportunity, he isn’t talking about creating opportunities for corporate CEOs to get ahead, he’s talking about making sure regular, hard-working Americans have a fair chance to succeed.
“We need someone with vision and courage to fix the problems facing our country”,Browne, a Rock and Rock Hall of Fame inductee, said in a statement provided by the Edwards campaign.” John Edwards knows what it is to have to work hard, and he’ll stand up and fight to make sure that everyone in this country has the same chances he’s had.”
Raitt and Browne will perform at Edwards’ community meetings in Davenport, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Grinnell, and Des Moines.
