Don’t forget that the number one question asked Obama was “Will you legalize marijuana?”. Think about the benefits that medical cannabis can have on the millions of suffering Africans. I am very disturbed when I hear that UN Police are using international aid money to persecute cannabis growers in Africa and destroy such an important beneficial crop. Bono has enormous influence on UN leaders, and some of the world’s most powerful people. Please don’t think for a moment that by removing cannabis the UN is in any way helping the poor people of Africa or any other continent. This is a grave injustice, and I'm sure the sick and dying Africans effected by such laws would agree. The cannabis plant can help to provide food, clothing, shelter, safe medicine, and eco-friendly fuel. If the One Campaign really wants to help the poor, we should let them grow hemp, and if we must get involved, help them succeed in taking advantage of the many benefits of the hemp industry. I hope Bono keeps up the good work, and helps to stop the bad work. Thanx. www.nycamp.org Hello fellow ONE member,

There couldn't have been a better decision made by Mr. Ban Ki-moon. I have supported several different organizations for many years in their efforts to bring clean water sources to some of the world's poorest regions. For all of the reasons that you stated in your post and more, CLEAN WATER IS ESSENTIALTO END EXTREME POVERTY IN OUR WORLD. So I Iook forward to further posts here in the ONE Blog regarding this issue and toward the fulfillment of the MDG's. Let's all WORK TOGETHER AS ONE to bring sanitation and clean water to the world's poorest people! On this Thanksgiving Day, clean water is definitely something that we should all be grateful for.~ Take very good care of each other. Blessings - not just for those who kneel. ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE - debbie :) Thank you very much, Virginia, for posting this info about 2008 being declared the “Year of Sanitation” by the UN.
