I have one senator who has supported it from the beginning and one who was part of the "hold" and I hope they spoke with each other about this. Keep up the "encouragement!!!" For the children... V.

I spoke from my heart and let their office staff know that the re-authorization of PEPFAR is ESSENTIAL to saving the lives of MILLIONS of people in Africa and the care of millions of AIDS orphaned children. I thanked my Senators' office staff for the past support of PEPFAR that my Senators have given this prgram and to respect Pres. Bush's final request for PEPFAR funding. I mentioned how I have been a ONE member from our beginnings four years ago and that I have contacted my Congressional Representatives many times in the last five years regarding their support of PEPFAR. I also mentioned that, like many of us in ONE, I have personal friends in the Continent who are benefitting from the generosity of the American people and of how we can not allow these people's lives to fail now that we have bestowed on them hope for their futures. I think I got my point across because the staffers taking my calls were quite emotionally moved. I will continue to watch the proceedings this afternoon on C-Span 2. God bless ONE for all that it does for Africa. May we continue to carry each other.~ ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE - debbie :) www.mpwn-uganda.org I’ve also made my call to both my Senators’ DC offices this morning.
