Take Action: Make Them Go “On The Record”

November 7th, 2007 at 11:14 am | posted by Virginia Simmons

ONE Vote 08’s core mission is to make global poverty and diseases priorities in the 2008 election, and yet global poverty wasn’t even mentioned once in the last two presidential debates. It’s time that we step up our game.

OnTheRecordRight now, ONE members are urging every man and woman running for president to tell us, in writing, where they stand and what plans they have for:

  • Eradicating malaria;
  • Improving child and maternal health;
  • Reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis;
  • Achieving universal primary education; and
  • Providing access to food and clean water for all.

At the same time, we’re asking all the candidates to speak on camera to ONE members about these commitments.

Please sign the petition and ask your friends and family to sign as well.

To increase the impact of this campaign, we’ll be placing newspaper ads in the four critical early primary states asking the candidates to tell us where they stand - and in those ads we’ll let the candidates know just how many ONE Campaign members have already signed the petition.

We are only a few weeks away from the start of the primary elections and the actions we take now could matter even more than they do on Election Day 2008.

Please sign ONE’s “On The Record” petition today.

    Yeah, you may notice that ONE is home to a lot of snazzy graphics. Mad props to our designer extraordinaire Patti Jo!

    Hi EveryONE,

    I just wanted to let y’all know that I have signed this petition and then passed it on to several friends of mine to sign.

    I am heartened to know that we are more than halfway to our goal of 40,000 signers to this petition.It tells me that ONE supporters around the country are getting themselves ready for the Presidential race when it really heats up in the Spring!

    Take very good care, my friends. Blessings abound - just look around!

    ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE - debbie :)
