A Message from Daschle


May 24th, 2007 3:00 PM EST
By Virginia Simmons

Senator Tom Daschle, former Senate Majority Leader, gave a speech in Des Moine on Friday about extreme poverty. Below is a message he sent to Iowa ONE members after the event.

 

Friday afternoon, in Des Moines, I gave a speech outlining how America can build a more secure and stable world. A politician giving a speech in Iowa eight months before the caucuses isn’t exactly breaking news, except I’m not running for President. I came to Iowa as a member of ONE and the movement to end extreme poverty.

Having served as Senate Majority Leader, I know the impact grassroots action has on the legislative process. And as a member of ONE you should to. More than any other group you’ve successfully advocated for laws that allow America to reclaim our place of moral leadership. And your victories have garnered the attention of politicians from both sides of the aisle, making a meaningful impact on the lives of the billion people around the world fighting and dying daily on the front lines of the battle against extreme poverty.

But advocating for the best piece of legislation is not enough. We can do more. We must do more.

So, let us now, together as ONE, let the Presidential candidates know that we want to hear how they will combat extreme poverty.

We face a deadly pandemic that claims tens of thousands of lives daily and threatens stability in key regions of the world. While we have made – and will continue to make – great strides, the true solution lies in making sure that no matter who is elected to be the next President of the United States, he or she is committed to ending extreme poverty.

Here in Iowa, more than any other state, you know the power you have over the primary process. So please take every opportunity you can to engage the candidates to make sure they understand the importance of these issues.

I won’t let up the fight, and I know you won’t either.

Sincerely,

Sen. Tom Daschle
