Hurry to See McCurry
Democratic strategist Mike McCurry spoke to an enthusiastic and inquisitive group of college Democrats from the University of South Carolina and Columbia College at a local pizza place last night. McCurry stressed the importance of action by the United States and its citizens to fight the spread of AIDS and global poverty. He also placed a special emphasis on fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals.
The students asked many good questions, including how they can help with the ONE Campaign. McCurry received a hearty applause and the students thanked him for coming to South Carolina. The guests signed our declaration and many are very eager to volunteer. Several students are already brainstorming about future ONE events for their schools and organizations.
We were also pleased to greet ONE Vote ’08 SC Ambassador and Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer who saw our sign at the resturant and pleasantly surprised us by stopping in to say hello.
Today, Mike McCurry will headline a University of South Carolina community event with Republican strategist ONE Board Co-Chair, Jack Oliver.
