"The American people are ready for a complete change from what we have lived through with the disgraceful and tragic presidency of George W. Bush. We need a president that will respect and fight for the rights of all Americans." - John Bruhns
Here's his official endorsement:
"As someone who served in the U.S. military honorably for eight years I am saddened by what has come of America," Bruhns said. "It is absolutely heartbreaking to go overseas to fight a war just to come home to see your fellow Americans unemployed, in debt, down on their luck, and living hand-to-mouth. The American people are ready for a complete change from what we have lived through with the disgraceful and tragic presidency of George W. Bush. We need a president that will respect and fight for the rights of all Americans.
"I strongly believe that John Edwards is the best candidate running for the presidency of the United States," Bruhns continued. "I believe that he will be strong at home and abroad. I believe that he has the best plan to end poverty, protect American jobs, and restore hope to the middle class. Most importantly, I believe wholeheartedly that he will end the war in Iraq and that he would never send our brave men and women in uniform into harms way unless it is absolutely necessary."

I've always wanted Paul Rykoff's endorsement for Edwards, and didn't know anything about Bruhns, but I think this is a good endorsement, as well.
I wonder if this endorsement upset Joe Biden, since he went after John Edwards today over something petty. Anyone who can read sees that Edwards said that he doesn't think that "voters" see any differences between them on Iraq. He didn't say that there "weren't any differences" like Biden seems to believe.
