RALEIGH, N.C. -

Former presidential candidate John Edwards says his indiscretions shouldn't harm the fight against poverty and worries nobody has taken up his crusade to target the issue.

The Washington Post story published Wednesday is the first public word from Edwards since he briefly spoke to Oprah Winfrey on one of her talk shows for an episode aired at the outset of wife Elizabeth Edwards' book tour.

John Edwards told the newspaper that he recently has been doing humanitarian work in El Salvador and spending time with his children and cancer-stricken wife.

He declined to discuss his former mistress, her child, his wife's memoir or a federal investigation that he has indicated was looking into his campaign funds.

    "They persevere. They are strong. They are courageous. They go out everyday and do what they can for their families. These people are entitled to dignity and respect." a quote from John Edwards. We who are poor and lower middle class Americans want John and Elizabeth Edwards back in the U.S. as our spokespeople. We appreciate the fact that they are human beings who care about us. If you watch the following videos from John's Poverty Tour they will help clarify what we are requesting: Residents of Whitesburg, Ky, a coal mining town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRWL4c9XxVk A foreclosed neighborhood, Cleveland, Ohio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i_GWrYkcCI Chicken Plant Workers in Canton, Miss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y510mj5J99I 9th Ward New Orleans, LA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAqktFnA4nk&feature=related
