Elizabeth has touched the hearts of many of us with her wonderful book, but she is not the only person who writes wonderfully about battling cancer.

Yesterday, Katie got a wig. I found her blog through a mutual friend. What she wrote about cutting off her hair and getting a wig reminded me of when Kimberly had to cut off her hair or when Fran did.

These stories are other illustrations of when Americans show saving graces to the people around us, about Americans at the best when fighting a horrible foe.

That foe isn't just terrorists. It is poverty. It is disease. It is ignorance and injustice.

We've talked a lot about citizen journalism here and it reflects part of my dream. I want to see Edwards supporters writing not only about candidate visits, but about how each and everyone of us, are working to bring about the One America that we all hope Sen. Edwards will help lead us to, whether it be helping in soup kitchens, with Habitat for Humanity, or helping people around us through difficult times.
