Giuliani Not Taking New Hampshire for Granite
Rudy Giuliani gave a campaign stump speech in Keene, New Hampshire, on Wednesday. ONE members Kevin Schmitt and Melissa Skinner traveled there to make sure that the mayor heard from the ONE Campaign while he was in the Granite State.
When they finally got to Keene, they found out that the event was unfortunately closed to the public. But ONE members, Kevin and Melissa went above and beyond and waited two hours for the event to finish. After waiting patiently in the hot sun, a campaign staffer approached them and took them to meet privately with the mayor. They told me that Rudy was very familiar with the ONE Campaign and told them that our work fighting AIDS in Africa was very important. Melissa even put the ONE band on the mayor’s wrist you see in the photo.
By uniting as ONE, we have a unique and historic opportunity to make sure that the next president of the United States knows that fighting global disease and extreme poverty in the developing world is an American priority.
