They Heard Us

February 27th, 2008 at 8:28 pm | posted by Aaron.Banks

The 100,000 “Visit Africa” petitions have been delivered and we’ve heard back from the candidates.

After you check out the candidates’ responses, take a few minutes and write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Writing a letter to the editor is your chance to talk about the poverty-fighting successes highlighted on the recent presidential trip to Africa - successes ONE members have helped make possible - and our campaign urging the next president to visit Africa in his or her first term.

    I am very impressed with One’s campaign to have the 2008 Presidential candidates make a commitment to visit Africa during their first term. By signing the petition you expect that the next President will save lives and build a better future for those affected by HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty. However, he cannot do it alone. I also have a campaign. As an American Citizen I challenge not only the future President but each and everyone of you to go and see for yourself the devastation of AIDS and extreme poverty that exists in the “majority” world. It is not up to the President alone to make a difference but it is up to all citizens of this great country in which we live to stop the injustice annd povety that is running rampant throughout the world. I ask you to sign the ONE petition but more importantly I ask that you make a committment and go. It is time for you to see global poverty and disease in Africa and then come home to make a difference.
