Take Action: 2008 Budget and the ONE Senatometer

Apr 13th, 2007 11:30 AM EST
By Virginia Simmons

For months ONE members have been fighting for poverty-funding for the 2008 budget. Right now, we are days away from securing $39.8 billion – $3.9 billion over last year – for the international affairs budget, the largest increase in recent history.

Six senators, Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Gordon Smith (R-OR), Christopher Dodd (D-CT), and Norm Coleman (R-MN), are taking the lead by writing a letter encouraging their colleagues in the Senate to support this critical funding.

We want 60 senators to sign their support to this letter by next Thursday. Please take a minute to ask your senator to sign on to this letter.

The international affairs budget contains almost all the funding America devotes to poverty focused development assistance. This is the money that most directly translates into lives saved and countries transformed. This is smart aid that attacks poverty at its roots. By contributing our share to this type of funding in partnership with other nations, we can put 77 million children in school and save 16,000 lives a day by combating AIDS, TB, and Malaria.

We have 6 senators now and 54 to go. Check back to the ONE Blog over the next week to watch the needle move on our “Senatometer” .
