Edwards’ Trip To Lebanon
In Lebanon, New Hampshire, on Monday Sen. Edwards made a campaign stop to talk about his visions for our country. Sen. Edwards started his speech by talking about the need for our country to fight HIV/AIDS and poverty in Africa. He told the crowd that we had a moral imperative to act and that what we do to on the ground in Africa to save lives, shows the world the kind of country and people that we are.
Sen. Edwards also spoke about Darfur and the deplorable war in Uganda. He also spoke about our opportunity to enroll millions of children in primary schooling in Africa and create a better and safer world for all.
After the speech, ONE members went and spoke with Sen. Edwards and gave him a ONE band to put on. The senator was very familiar with the ONE Campaign and noted the positive impact the ONE Campaign is having in our country.
Just one more reason to put your own ONE band on and come out to a candidate event in your area We are being heard, we are being seen, we are saving lives in the developing world…and in the 2008 election, we will change the world.
