Name or Pseudonym:: MOMocrats

About Me:: Welcome to Momocrats! This site is dedicated to putting a Democrat in the White House in January 2009, and effectuating real change in our nation. We are a group of moms who have come together to support the candidate we think will make a positive change in our nation and has the best chance to win the general election.
That candidate is John Edwards.

We respect the other candidates, and appreciate their service to our country. After agonizing over the choices for months, we feel that John Edwards is the best person for the job. In the coming weeks and months, we'll share with you the specific reasons why, and give you some food for thought. Eat up...you'lll need your strength to get you through this election this year.

We're supporting Edwards because, like most moms, we're tired. We're not tired from staying up all night with a colicky baby, or from pacing the floor waiting for our teens to come home.

We're tired of sending our sons and daughters off to fight a war for the benefit of oil billionaires' profits. Tired of lagging behind the rest of the world in education, and paying more and more for "public" education that teaches only to a test and leaves the individual needs of students behind. Tired of a broken healthcare system that leaves millions of families and individuals uninsured. Tired of politicians pretending that global warming doesn't exist, leaving the problem to our children to solve. Tired of being paid less than men for the same work, then being expected to come home to the "second shift" of parenting, housework, and homework. Tired of the widening gap between rich and poor that leaves millions of single mothers struggling to make ends meet.

We're tired, but optimistic. John Edwards gives us hope. Hope that we can help the country we love become a better place for our children and their children. Hope that we can make a difference and leave the world a better place, because we know our children are worth it.

We hope you'll join us, and vote for John Edwards. If you don't, you're grounded.
