I don't normally blog about national HIV/AIDS issues on this site, but today I'm making an exception. As some of you may remember, back in April, I shared with you that I'm supporting John Edwards for President. I am proud to serve on Edwards LGBT Steering Committee and to be one one of 25 National LGBT Community Leaders to Endorse Edwards that month. Since April, I've had the pleasure of meeting several folks working hard on the campaign including Elizabeth Edwards.
Today, John Edwards released his plan to fight HIV/AIDS here at home as well as globally. I have never been more proud to support to be supporting John Edwards for President. I think after you read John Edward's HIV/AIDS Plan, you will agree with the many HIV/AIDS advocates from around the country who praised Edwards today.
Dr. Paul Zeitz, Executive Director of the Global AIDS Alliance FUND, said today: "This is plan is both bold and achievable, and we are thrilled to see Senator Edwards' tremendous leadership on this issue. It's exciting to see such a realistic, science-based approach to the epidemic in the US and globally."
Rebecca Haag, Executive Director of AIDS Action, said today: “We welcome Senator Edwards call for a national strategy. He is definitely listening to the hundreds of organizations, groups and individuals that understand the need for a committed public health approach to HIV."
Don't take their words for it though. I encourage you to read the plan for yourself. And once you do, I encourage you to support John Edwards for President.
