What happened to Sen. Durbin? (smile) Actually, to be honest, this stuff with Congress really aggravates me and probably a lot of other ONE supporters because a lot of these people in Congress will grin in our faces and maybe even put on a whiteband for a photo op and then go right back to Congress and think nothing about ripping the heart out of some of the programs that fight AIDS and extreme poverty! Their lack of consistency and clarity on "our" issues does not make me very partial to politics and politicians - whether Democrat or Republican. Thanks for letting voice my opinion about this matter. AS ONE, debbie :) Thanks Virginia. What happened to Sen. Durbin? (smile)

I encourage ALL my fellow ONE members to CONTACT YOUR SENATORS and voice your support of this amendment to restore ESSENTIAL money to the FY2009 federal budget that will fight AIDS and extreme poverty! Thank You for your concern and your activism for Africa's Future.~ Take very good care, my friends. Blessings always.
