Grand Old Party-ing
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani opened campaign offices in South Carolina Wednesday, and we made sure to make ONE’s presence felt. My state Field Co-director Mekell Mikell and I took part in the grand opening of the headquarters in Columbia. We talked with the executive directors and field directors, who showed a great interest in ONE and said that they looked forward to working with ONE Vote ’08 in the future.
On Tuesday evening, two ONE members met with Ann Romney, who was in South Carolina as part of the “Women for Mitt Bus Tour.” Mrs. Romney stressed the importance of family values and afterwards took the time to speak to each person in attendance. They talked with her about ONE Vote ’08, and she quickly accepted a ONE band, wore it throughout the evening, and thanked ONE for being at the event.

I think this news about Ann meeting with ONE is fantastic news! Have you received any feedback about how Mitt’s campaign feels toward ONE?

I think its good we are non-partisan, I believe all movements should be. But sometimes I worry that we are selling out on basic policy questions. The truth is that Mitt has made no specific promises (as far as I know) and given us little reason to believe he would keep the vague promise to “support ONE.”
ONE Vote ’08 needs to be more than a slogan, like “Never Again.” It needs to become a way to channeling votes to the candidate that emerges as a champion of the ONE cause. I guess we can wait until after the primaries to get more serious about policies issues though.
