On Sunday, Gov. Mitt Romney made a campaign stop at a toy store in Concord, NH. Keene State college student and Concord resident Kevin Schmidt came out to lend his voice to the world’s poorest people.

As Gov. Romney made his way through the toy store, Kevin spoke with him about the ONE Campaign. He thanked Gov. Romney for his ideas about saving lives in Africa. Gov. Romney thanked him, and Kevin told him about his Uncle Ken Hackett who is the President and CEO of Catholic Relief services and serves on the board of the Millennium Challenge Corporate with ONE Vote ‘08 chair Sen. Frist. Kevin told him about all of the good work that the MCC was doing and urged him, if elected, to support the MCC.

Gov. Romney seemed very familiar with the work of the MCC and posed for a picture. You can even see the stuffed animal monkey that Gov. Romney’s grandson Parker Mitt picked out.

ONE by ONE, we are making progress with all of the candidates. By staying informed at ONE.org, we can use our voice to articulate the change we want to see in the world, save lives, and lift millions out of stupid extreme poverty.
