They are forbidden from endorsing any candidate. Thanks, Chris Hey guys,

When John Edwards campaign asks for support, I always wish I could legally give more. I had dinner with John (and about 50 other supporters) here in Seattle last September, and it's still impressive to hear him explain his plans for economic reform, health care reform, foreign policy reform, and lobbyist reform. I wish we had had more time, as I did not get the chance to ask him how he plans to clean up the sleeper cells in the justice department. The Bush legacy in the DoJ scares the hell out of me.

So, thanks, Al. Based on his comment, I say we call on Obama and Clinton to say exactly what kind of health care plan they are going to back if and when elected. Is From right that neither want single payer?
