We must always remember that these politicians (whether Democrat or Republican) are moving on this issue because ONE members, Global AIDS Alliance members and others are FED UP WITH THE U.S. SENATE USING PEPFAR AS THEIR POLITICAL FOOTBALL and simply want this program (PEPFAR) re-authorized asap! We, the American People, have spoken on this issue. We want our politicians to put aside their Presidential politics and simply GET ON WITH THE BUSINESS OF SAVING PEOPLE'S LIVES. It's that simple. BTW - this week in DC, there will be a public rally in support of PEPFAR and I urge everyONE to attend this rally if possible and to HELP SPREAD THE WORD about PEPFAR's re-authorization. Here is the info if you're interested: Thursday, June 26, 2008 12:00pm - 3:00pm Stanton Park 4th and C NE Washington, DC While contacting your elected representatives about issues that are important to you is essential in a democracy, sometimes it is also important to join efforts like this that visibly show your elected representatives that you are SERIOUS about what you believe in! Take very good care, my friends. Blessings abound. AS ONE, debbie :) www.mpwn-uganda.org Thanks kat for your response to Ginny’s post. We must always remember that these politicians
