From the page: "Former Sen. John Edwards ended his Democratic presidential campaign nearly four months ago, but he was back on the stump yesterday in the Tioga section of North Philadelphia, urging Americans to join him in the "moral cause" of fighting poverty. Edwards, the party's vice-presidential nominee in 2004, came to the Thankful Baptist Church to kick off Half in Ten, a new movement to reduce the national poverty rate 50 percent during the next decade. "What we do for each other says something about who we are, what our character is, what kind of country we are," said Edwards, who will be chairman of the effort. Helping fellow citizens have an opportunity to lift themselves up is part of "our responsibility to each other," he said."
