Edwards Launches 10-Year Effort to Halve Poverty

NEW YORK - Former presidential hopeful John Edwards has helped launch a campaign aiming to cut poverty in half in the United States by 2018.

"The challenge before us is to make it so that hard work is enough to get ahead again," said Edwards in kicking off the antipoverty campaign in Philadelphia last week.

To the former Democratic senator, that is "not just a question of helping our brothers and sisters who are living in poverty -- it is a question of restoring the fundamental fairness that this country was founded upon."
