Thanks very much, Erin, for the GOOD NEWS on Sen Hutchison’s co-sponsorship of the GROWTH Act! She is my Senator and I have been making district office visits here in Austin to talk with her staff about our movement to end extreme poverty and funding levels for PEPFAR, the Global Fund and the MCA for FOUR YEARS now!
I’m very pleased to see that some of my efforts over the years were not in vain.
I will thank her staff soon when I schedule a time to meet with them regarding funding levels in the FY 2008 budget due for a vote this Fall.
This news really made my night. Thanks, Erin. ~
Take very good care of each other. Blessings – not just for those who kneel.

Socialist propaganda: do any of you read history? More US taxes on citizens causes more loss of jobs & wealth here. Just give your own money to charity & leave the government out of it!

It is so sad that you lie about what you are doing and trick people to support you.
This is a political agenda, Obama’s agenda, and many of the people on that NH list want their names there.
