ONE Shout-Out by McCain on MSNBC
July 22nd, 2008 at 2:44 pm | posted by Virginia SimmonsJust a couple hours ago on MSNBC:
A quick transcription:
“And could I also recognize another organization that is very, very popular and a very important one, not only here in New Hampshire but across the country, and that’s an organization called ONE.
This is an organization inspired by a lot of people including Bono and they have over 2 million volunteers in this nation, and they go all over the world, especially Africa, to help cure malaria, AIDS, cholera, and help people. This is one the great examples of what America is all about.
I’m proud that Cindy, and a group, a number of other people, are in Africa as we speak, with the organization called ONE trying to do what we can to help those people and that organization and publicize their great work.
Thank you to the group from ONE, will you guys stand? Thank you very much. Thank you.”

great news! much credit for this is the great work of our favorite marine, Michael Castaldo, who made ONE’s presence known to him many times while McCain was stumping earlier this year. and to Matthew Bartlett, the regional there. great efforts to bring ONE positively and proactively into their presence.
great reports out of his wife Cindy too who is with David Lane and the great senators and others in the delegation in africa.
thanx for passing on this great report virginia.
stay close,
