Gov. Huckabee held a campaign rally at Clemson University yesterday and I met up with some great ONE members to lend our voice to the world’s bottom billion people.

During the rally, Gov. Huckabee played bass with a local band, and also had Chuck Norris and Ric Flair with him to campaign. Some of us, including Clemson student Emily Burchfield who went to the ONE Power 100 Summit - were in our ONE shirts in hopes that Gov. Huckabee would see us.

After the rally we snuck out by the campaign bus to try and talk with Gov. Huckabee. Just before they got on the bus, ONE member Chip was able to snap a quick photo with Chuck Norris and Emily spoke with Gov. Huckabee about ONE and US efforts to fight global AIDS. He thanked her for her work with ONE.

As we were leaving, we ran into FOX New Chief Political Correspondent, “Campaign” Carl Cameron - who always wears his ONE band on the campaign trail and even cut a promo for our ONE Student/ONE Vote event back in November. Check it out:

Chip and Emily thanked Carl for wearing his ONE band and told him about the work of ONE at Clemson.

At Clemson, just like to many other colleges and universities all over America, students like Chip and Emily are organizing and using their voice and talents to find ways to spread the word about ONE and let our leaders know that our generation can…and will, make poverty history.
