Former Sen. John Edwards Set For Pasadena Appearance
The site of Edwards' appearance, All Saints Church, has received a summons from the Internal Revenue Service for all documents and e-mails it produced during the 2004 election year with references to political candidates in an investigation of whether it violated federal laws prohibiting churches and other tax-exempt institutions from endorsing or opposing political candidates.The IRS probe was triggered by an antiwar sermon delivered by the church's rector emeritus, the Rev. George F. Regas, two days before the 2004 presidential election.
Edwards To Campaign At Anti-War Church:
Edwards' planned antiwar event highlights an interesting dynamic at play in the nascent Democratic Presidential primary: Barring a late entry into the race by Al Gore, who's given a number of rousing antiwar speeches ever since before the war itself, there isn't really any Dem in the race who's a natural fit for the Dem primary's most passionate antiwar voters.
Keep an Eye on John Edwards (NewsTrust Review):
Lost amid the hype about Barack Obama's presidential prospects, and the conventional wisdom that the Democrats' 2008 nomination is Hillary Clinton's for the asking, John Edwards has been overlooked.But the former one-term senator from North Carolina, who was the party's vice presidential candidate in 2004, is perhaps its best chance to win the White House.
