My husband and I want out donations back…guess he needed the’bucks’ so he could experience the two America’s.
..maybe he should give Hollywood a try…he’s such a great actor but aren’t all trial lawyers.
Certainly this is between Elizabeth and him but I am disappointed that he misrepresented the masses for his cause..and I mean HIS cause.

John Edwards should be refuning EVERYONE’S contributions, big and small! He got that money fraudulently.

“Those March refunds were likely general election donation refunds, returned long before Edwards’ August admittal to having an affair. (Since Edwards did not win the primary, any general election donations to is campaign must be refunded).”

This must come as a surprise to voters who gave “donations” in the general election that they’ll be getting their money back. There’s no mention on Edwards website that all “contributions” for the General election will be refunded.

Unless “donations” are different than the little guy’s “contribution”.

Looking at the Edwards refund sheet, some bundlers received refunds in excess of 2300 on March 24.

Those March refunds were likely general election donation refunds, returned long before Edwards’ August admittal to having an affair. (Since Edwards did not win the primary, any general election donations to is campaign must be refunded).

Per the FEC, individuals can give a max of $2300 toward the primary and another $2300 toward the general. If the candidate does not become the general election candidate, all general election donations must be refunded.
