Hillary’s been ONE Marine-d
Sen. Hillary Clinton campaigned for president in New Hampshire on Wednesday. At a town hall meeting in Rochester, she ran into a few ONE volunteers out on the trail and showing support for the world’s poorest people.
After these events, it can be difficult to talk directly with a candidate as they make their way through the crowds, and even more difficult to get a good picture with a candidate.
But by being patient and respectful, ONE’s Marine, Michael Castaldo, always makes sure to get a great photo. Instead of “banding” a candidate, Michael is now asking them to pose with a ONE shirt (similar to when a sports player gets drafted and poses with their new team jersey). And after thanking Sen. Clinton for proposing bi-partisan legislation with Sen. Smith, called the Education for All Act, Sen. Clinton graciously took a ONE photo.
From the halls of Congress, to the town halls in New Hampshire and across the nation, we have the ability to encourage all of our elected leaders to take immediate action to save millions of lives and help educate people around the world, to make a better and safer world for all.
