Presidential hopeful Sen. Chris Dodd came to Nashua, NH, today to hold a rally about national service. A group of ONE members came out to make sure that the Senator saw, and heard from ONE Vote ‘08 while on the campaign trail.
After the speech, ONE members – both Republican and Democrat – were able to talk with Sen. Dodd about fighting AIDS and extreme poverty in Africa, and let him know that it is an important issue to Americans.
ONE member, and staunch conservative, Kevin Keefe was able to give Sen. Dodd a ONE band and thank him for the Global Child Survival Act that he introduced in the Senate with Sen. Smith (R). Sen. Dodd said that he was very familiar with the ONE Campaign noticed the ONE shirts and bands in the crowd.
By organizing, and coming together as ONE, we are making sure that the poorest people on Earth are not forgotten here in the Granite State. Saving lives in the developing world is an issue that is uniting all Americans and through ONE Vote ‘08, we will make sure that all candidates from both sides of the political aisle know that our generation can and will make extreme poverty history.
