John Edwards and the Americans for the Preservation for Fundamental Americanism

As a former Senator , John Edwards has a number of qualifications to run for the Presidency of the United States . Qualifications alone , however are simply not enough to make a successful campaign as it is critical to also have solid backing and support from organizations that can deliver votes . In other words , when an organization has a number of members or loyal followers , an endorsement or relationship between the candidate and the organization can prove to be quite fruitful

Additionally , in a recent Democratic Presidential nomination debate Edwards staunchly put forth his support for legalizing all illegal immigrants in the United States . There are a number of reasons for his stance on this issue which include the fact that many illegal immigrant supporters find allies in the Democratic Party and the Party is also heavily backed by unions which are staunch supporters of illegal aliens in certain industries such as food service , etc . Because of this , it would be categorically impossible for a candidate such as Edwards who is strongly courting the liberal base of his party to switch positions and support any deportations of illegal immigrants . In fact , Edwards has long since been a supporter of immigration lawyer organizations (Edwards , himself , was a trial lawyer ) and his support for these groups has been unwavering and will remain so .
