We need to work on those Republicans voting against, they can all come around like Jesse Helms did. I would suggest everyone check the list on the entry above, and if they are in your district, try to get their support for the future (and send thanks if they voted yes). …stunning (happily) that not one Democrat voted against — (not so good) all nays are Republican.

Thanks for bringing to our attention, Virginia. It must be said that, although our movement to end extreme poverty has friends in Congress, many of those supporting programs to end AIDS and extreme poverty in our world are doing so because of the support of ONE members and others in their constituencies that support these programs - constituents that VOTE.... We must always remember that WE, the People, are the ones who control the pursestrings of the U.S. budget. Those in elected office are supposed to serve our desires - not the other way around. That is the meaning of our Constitution. Take very good care of each other. Blessings - not just for those who kneel.~ ONE HEART, ONE HOPE, ONE LOVE - debbie :) After coming home from a long day at work, this was the most welcomed news of my day!
