At an event called ‘Politics and Eggs Breakfast’ held in Bedford, New Hampshire on November 7, and broadcast on C-SPAN’s “Road to the White House,” former U.S. Senator and Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards spoke about the IRC.  “About a year ago, roughly, I went to Africa to do work with the International Rescue Committee, which is this extraordinary non-profit that basically goes to the most difficult places in the world where there are huge crises occurring,” Edwards said. Edwards described what he saw while on a delegation trip with the IRC to Uganda in October, 2006. “Absent the International Rescue Committee and groups like that, there would be no help for these people.” It looks like C-SPAN may rebroadcast the segment at 6:30 PM ET on Sunday -- but check the C-SPAN site for the latest.
