NARRATOR: In a world where candidates are many, one man stands apart from the crowd.

EDWARDS: When people say to me, `why are you running for President of the United States,' I can say it in one sentence. I'm running for President of the United States because I want everyone in America to have the same chances that I've had.

NARRATOR: Born to humble beginnings in South Carolina, he spent his life fighting against the rich and powerful to help the kind regular people he grew up with.

SUPPORTER: Give `em hell, Johnny.
EDWARDS: Oh, I will.

NARRATOR:  Now we have the chance to let him bring that fight to the White House, to rescue a nation hijacked by special interests and deliver it back to the hands of the people.

EDWARDS: The strength of America's not just in the Oval Office, the strength of America is in this room, right now. It's the American people, the incredible capacity of the American people to do great things. And we need you. Your country needs you.

NARRATOR: From the people that want to end this senseless war, comes the story of the man who will bring you stronger schools, smart trade and universal health care. Starring South Carolina's native son, John Edwards. On January 26th, choose a brighter future - John Edwards for President.

EDWARDS: I'm John Edwards, and I approve this message.

From Jonathan Prince fo the Edwards campaign.

If we can raise $65,000 today, we can get a great campaign spot featuring John on the air in South Carolina for the last 24 hours before the primary this Saturday.

We're going to win delegates for John Edwards this Saturday in South Carolina -- and that's why we're expanding our boots on the ground efforts over the next two days. We have hundreds of field staff and volunteers canvassing door-to-door. And phone banks underway across the state.

And getting this spot on the air tomorrow will help us reach hundreds of thousands of voters across the state as they make up their minds.

It's going to take $65,000 to make that happen: can you help us meet that target today?

John is currently campaigning across the rural areas of South Carolina, drawing large crowds as he talks about his economic recovery plan for rural America. While one of the other candidates has already left the state, John is taking his message directly to primary voters.

Your contribution today will allow his message of change to reach voters in all areas of the state. You can make a difference by helping us get this spot on the air.

Thanks for your support. I'll let you know how we do!

Sincerely,

--Jonathan Prince Deputy Campaign Manager, John Edwards for President
