Comments on: Frist: What is ONE? http://www.one.org/blog/2008/07/20/frist-what-is-one/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:41:39 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Debbie K http://www.one.org/blog/2008/07/20/frist-what-is-one/#comment-547849 Debbie K Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:46:41 +0000 http://www.one.org/blog/2008/07/20/frist-what-is-one/#comment-547849 I appreciate Sen. Frist's mention that ONE is a GRASSROOTS organization because that is how this organization was envisioned to be by those who envisioned it and got it off the ground. As the years have gone on and we have grown as a movement, there has been a wise choice to center a lot of our lobbying activity in DC because that is where the center of political influence is. But to maintain its integrity as a grassroots organization, ONE must always strive to keep its grassroots connection. What happens for ONE in Boise or Santa Fe or Raleigh or Indianapolis, etc will ultimately reflect the success of ONE in DC because it is the PRESSURE that the American People put on our politicians that fuel the engine of ONE. As long as we remember this basic truth of grassroots organizing, we'll continue to grow and prosper - for Africa's Future and our own. Thank you, Dr. Frist, for continuing dedication to the upliftment of Africa's People. They need every friend that they can get. ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE - debbie :) www.mpwn-uganda.org I appreciate Sen.

Thank you Dr. Frist. you and your delegation are on my mind and in my heart every day, so very proud of your work and grateful for you sharing the surgeries, the sunrises, bringing us the very atmosphere of these great kids and the land they call home.
