Now he can no longer provide for his family.

Steve's story is the story of millions and millions of people in this country whose lives are being destroyed by corporations. And it was so moving to see someone stand up and ask the politicians what they plan to do to stop this American shame. Candidate John Edwards fields the question.

Ted and his wife took a weeklong challenge to live on food stamps. Call up your governors and ask them to do the same!
