ONE at the Debate
Share
Wednesday night Senators Clinton and Obama engaged in their first debate in weeks. While they were inside the National Constitution Center discussing their plans for the country, ONE was outside making sure someone was speaking up for all those suffering from extreme poverty around the world. We were out there handing out literature, speaking with Clinton and Obama supporters, giving a voice to those who so often lack one. It was an amazing sight, being part of a crowd of hundreds of supporters, protesters, and activists. The campaign trail is hot here in Pennsylvania and we’re keeping the heat on the candidates about their commitments to fight global poverty.

This is amazing. As a senior at the University of Michigan busy writing sociology and philosophy papers, I didn’t have the time to watch the entire debate. I hope to see clips of ONE from the debate on YouTube.
I wrote a letter to the editor about YouTube Democracy. It was published in The Michigan Daily. Remember the CNN YouTube presidential debates? I expanded on that idea – CNN should regularly include YouTube videos on The Situation Room. Who knows? Maybe in a year from now we’ll see members of ONE regularily on CNN.
Get ready for the the CNN YouTube debates between Clinton and McCain!

Please keep up the pressure on the candidates. I don’t think our current president cares, but perhaps we can get the next one to care…
