We’ve Gone Commerical
December 18th, 2007 at 11:46 am | posted by Virginia SimmonsIf you haven’t seen it already, this is the new ONE.org TV ad - running now in Iowa and NH and across the nation on cable networks.
Just as an added note, my mom lives in NH and says she sees it on TV all the time. Hopefully this will help introduce hundreds of thousands more people to ONE and get more people to take note of ONE’s “On The Record” site.

CNN is showing this a number of times a day, i think i saw it on Headline News too. but it’s an awesome ad, and i took note both my son and my husband thru sheer curiousity when they saw the ad just stopped and watched before they responded it was ONE, then cheered. that is great.
good work everyone. i’m proud for you what you’ve done here.
stay close,

Thanks Virginia for posting this here in the ONE blog. As have already been mentioned, I too am seeing the commercial quite a lot on the TV and I barely watch TV!
I think that this is a good thing to try - the only other attempt that ONE has made into the mainstream media was with the “click” ads of two years ago. Those ads DID get our movement to make extreme poverty history more publicity so it’s time that we try running ads again in the media.
Still, I caution us on ONE thing. We can’t sit back on the strength of our media presence and think we are doing enough to get our message out there to the American people.
We are a grassroots movement and thus need to be out amongst the grassroots for measurable results.
I have already planned out my outreach schedule for ONE/(RED) for 2008 and already have at least one outreach booth scheduled EACH MONTH next year at an event somewhere in my community (Austin TX) !!
While y’all are organizing on a nationwide basis for ONE, we need to be organizing for ONE in our communities for greater results for our movement to make extreme poverty history.
I look forward to working with all of you in 2008.~
Take very good care of each other. Blessings abound - just look around!
ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie

I saw this the first time on Meet the Press when Mitt Romney was on. I was so happy to see that ONE had a commercial! Awesome! Just who is the voice narrarating? It’s driving me crazy!
Awesome way to get more people to both join One and vote! Go One!

Aside from encouraging the suport of candidates who will address the issues, there is something we, as individuals, can do to fight global hunger and poverty Visit my website www.peacepoem.net and Click to Donate Free Food and Medicine, which is distributed by America’s Second Harvest and Mercy Corps, worldwide.
Over 500,000 servings of food have been raised in this manner by the afiliated organizations. You can donate only once a day, but each time you click, free food and medicne will be donated. It takes only moments of your time and you can change the life of a hungry child. The viatmins, medicine and innoculations can prevent blindness, dsease and premature death.
Please joiin my effort. One and one and one add up, and together we can make an enormous difference in fighting global hunger and poverty!

ONE is the most hopeful and inspiring thing that has happened in recent memory. I salute everyone who supports and helps the effort. Having visited several countries in Central America in recent years, I can say with some authority that folks in the United States cannot understand how poor the average person in a third world country really is.
Please keep up the good work, everyone. Let’s change the U.S. and the world. After all, we are all ONE, no matter what part of the World we live in. I know, because common sense tells me so. There is good in all of us, if we will just look for it!
Cheers to folks who made the ONE Campaign Ad. It’s awesome!

Al-Hamdulillah, we are acting as ONE to reach an attainable goal! Insha-Allah this is a way to show each other that people do work together because they care.
My children are learning from your resolve and have donated their online Penguin coins to support “Coins for Change.”
from the club penguin website: “The World Wildlife Federation (www.worldwildlife.org) will receive $330,000 towards its efforts to protect the planet and help build a future where people live in harmony with nature. The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (www.pedaids.org), which works to prevent pediatric HIV infection and to eradicate AIDS in children around the world, will receive $394,000, while $276,000 will go to Free The Children (www.freethechildren.com), whose primary goals are to free children from poverty and exploitation and free young people from the notion they are powerless to affect positive change.”
My children are the next generation of ONE members.
