Tuesday, presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani made his way through South Carolina, and I was able to meet him at a town hall event in Columbia.
Giuliani said that I worked for a great organization, posed for a picture with me, and readily accepted a ONE T-shirt. It was also heartening to meet ONE members in the crowd wearing their wristbands. Several people in the audience also asked me about ONE Vote ‘08, and I was able to discuss with them our goals in the fight against extreme poverty.
