		<description>Petitions are nice &amp; contacting our politicians is really a polite way to go in trying to accomplish our goal of the end of AIDS and extreme poverty in the world. But my question is: do any of these politicians take us seriously anymore?

More importantly, are we SERIOUS about accomplishing our goal?



These are very IMPORTANT questions that I feel that we have to ask ourselves after today&#039;s hold-up on PEPFAR by Sen. DeMint.

We need to think about what we are doing and what ends are being accomplished by the tactics that we are currently using.



I don&#039;t have all the answers, but I can see that some of what we have done in years past AS ONE needs to be updated (changed) to achieve our goal in the future.

Times change/people change/conditions in the world have changed in the last few years - we. as a movement, need to change also if we want to keep up with the race.



Otherwise, I fear that we might start falling behind and that would be tragic - mostly for the millions of African lives that we are carrying on our backs.

If we fail them, we will also fail ourselves.



The only good thing about this afternoon is that the b-day party celebration in London&#039;s Hyde Park for Nelson &quot;Madiba&quot; Mandela has been shown live online at www.46664.com.


ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE - debbie :)
