I want to begin by thanking each of you for all of your support and
commitment over the last year. It has meant so much to Elizabeth and me. We have been
very busy since January working on the causes that got us into the campaign
in the first place -- helping to build the One America we all believe in.
You may have heard me talk about one of those programs called College for
Everyone -- a scholarship pilot project that Elizabeth and I started a few
years ago in Greene County, North Carolina.
The program is based on a simple promise to students: make good grades, work
at least 10 hours a week, and stay out of trouble -- and the program will
help pay for your first year of college. Since we launched this effort in 2005,
the percentage of Greene County high school graduates attending college has
increased from 54 percent to 74 percent.
As I write you, 165 high school seniors in Greene County are set to graduate
in May and 94% have been accepted into N.C. colleges and universities. Most
of these young people are doing just what many of us did -- sitting around
the kitchen table with their parents, wondering how they will pay for tuition.
Every parent wants to give their child the opportunity that comes with a
college education. But for too many American families, the dream of a college
degree is just that -- a dream. Now, I need your help to make the dream of a
college education a reality for some hard-working students in rural Greene
County.
_That's why I need your help today_
(http://www.johnedwards.com/r/63044/746320/) -- with a tax-deductible donation of $10, $25, $50 or $75, whatever you
can afford -- to bring us one step closer to our goal of College for
Everyone. By contributing now, you will help fulfill the college dreams of deserving
students in Greene County and show the world that if we work together on big
and important issues, change is possible.
But change can only come with your help. _Please contribute now_
(http://www.johnedwards.com/r/63045/746320/) and bring us closer to building One
America where every child has the opportunity to go as far as his or her talents
and hard work will take them.
Thank you,
John Edwards
P.S. Contributions made by Friday go towards scholarships for the students
graduating in May. _Please respond today._
