Goal Met!
Edwin Edwards is the former 16 year governor of Louisiana. He brought back river boat gambling and lost millions at the tables. These are things he has said.

* "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy" -- 1984

* "He’s so slow that he takes an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes."--Edwards talking about an opponent.

* In run off election against Neo-Nazi David Duke, a reporter asked Edwards "What will it take to beat Duke decisively?". Edwards replied, "For me to stay alive".

* "I never speak ill of dead people or live judges." -- when asked for statement while on trial for corruption

* "I did not do anything wrong as a governor, even if you accept the verdict as it is, it doesn't indicate that." -- after his conviction for racketeering

* "I will be a model prisoner, as I have been a model citizen." -- on his way to prison, 2001

What does Edwin Edwards do when he's $4 million in debt? Take 617 of his closest friends to Paris.

In the 16 years he was Louisiana's governor, he dodged two dozen Grand Jury investigations and was acquitted in two federal trials.

He took none of it seriously, and was once so arrogant he even arrived at the courthouse in a horse drawn buggy.

"I'll survive, I'll live to walk out of here," says Edwards. "I don't think I deserve it. But hell, I've gotten a lot of good things I didn't deserve."

Forgiveness, he says, is a rare visitor behind the prison fences. But back on the Bayou he knows it's different. A comfort to a man who never claimed to be an angel, but never thought he'd pay for his deals with the devil.

I support this petition. You have made your point. An old man has been in prison for seven years. Enough is enough.
