Sen. McCain hosted a town hall meeting with Red Sox pitching ace Curt Schilling last week. I went with some ONE members to make sure that the poorest people on Earth were represented here in the cold and snowy Granite State.

When we got there, I noticed Sean who volunteers for McCain and always wears his ONE band. ONE member Andrea, spoke with the McCain Blogettes, Megan and La-Toria who said that they love the ONE Campaign. Meghan McCain said that she wears her ONE band all the time.

Although we were unable to ask a question about how Sen. McCain would fight global malaria – death from a bug bite that kills over a million people each year, mostly in Africa, and mostly children – we were able to talk with both Sen. McCain and Curt Schilling after the event. Andrea explained the ONE Campaign to Curt and gave him a ONE band.

Sen. McCain complemented ONE and said that he sees ONE everywhere.
