Sunday morning in New Hampshire, and I went to the Red Arrow Dinner in Manchester to catch up with Gov. Richardson with some ONE members.

Melissa Skinner was able to speak with Gov. Richardson about her recent trip to Namibia and thank him for talking about the need for the US to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty throughout the continent of Africa.

Gov. Richardson was very enthusiastic about ONE but told us that the ONE band was too small for his wrist. He stretched it out and put it on anyway before he headed off.

ONE member Ben who happened to be going to get some morning pancakes, thanked him for his efforts in Darfur.

Later in the day, ONE’s Marine Michael and ONE member Maria Gonzales caught up with Gov. Richardson in Dover. They told me that Gov. Richardson spoke all about the ONE Campaign and urged people to get involved. He said that Africa should be a priority in America’s foreign policy.
