Some Fun Recent ONE Hits
Are you ONE?
Lane Hudson in The Huffington Post.
Bloggers from both ends of the political spectrum rarely find agreement on issues. Even more rarely do they sit around a table to brainstorm on ways we can work together. This summer, The ONE Campaign provided the issue and the setting that brought conservative and liberal bloggers to stand together….
Until now, there has been no widespread movement to force this issue into the political agenda of the United States.
Now, we have The ONE Campaign. When people see my white ONE wristband, they usually ask which cause of the day the white band is for. I simply reply “The ONE Campaign is the campaign to make poverty history.” After allowing a moment for the levity of the situation to absorb, I usually throw in, “It’s Bono’s poverty thing.”

Please,
Visit my site NOW and SEE for yourself what the TRUTH is behind the poverty issues and how BOTH police and politicians are caught in bold-faced LIES about their policies and execution of duties…and remain unpunished for doing so…STILL retaining their office and benefits.
HUMAN RIGHTS violations abound with little regard for any backlash because their victims are poor and defenseless. They have no intention of changing a thing and you are deluding yourselves to think otherwise unless YOU act.
Many are called…Few are chosen.
your humble servant,
