In this world today, one of the most important things that a candidate can focus on is an anti-terror agenda. John Edwards is looking in that direction as a way to not only fight terror, but to help his campaign as well. His plan calls for combating global terrorism by the way of working together. He wants nations to be able to cooperate and share lots of different forms of intelligences, such as police, customs, financial and immigration intelligences.
His hope is that by allowing all of these nations to share in the same general pockets of information, each nation will be able to benefit from what the other nations already know. This is something that he has been working on for many months.
Edwards said that if he was elected president, he would work on forming the counterterrorism and Intelligence Treaty Organization. This would be group that was responsible for getting all of the nations together and sharing all of the intelligence that they can. The hope would be that by gathering all of these pieces of information together, the nations could prevent further terrorist attacks and shut down more of the terrorist cells.
It is also the idea of unity that has people rallying support behind John Edwards and his new plan. Many of the voters that are currently supporting him say that the idea of sharing information with other countries is a way to bring the United States back into positive graces, and a way to help everyone benefit as well.
According to USA Election Polls (USAElectionPolls.com), Edwards has an overall standing of 14% at this time and has a steady hold in the Southern and Western states. His progress is growing steadily.
