ONE Members Ask McCain Questions in NH
Share
Sen. McCain held a town hall meeting in Rochester, NH, yesterday to campaign for President. And just like we did for all the candidates from both parties during the NH Primary, and just we did in Unity, NH, last month – ONE was there to help advocate for the world’s poorest people.
As you can see from earlier posts, Sen. McCain recognized ONE at the start of the town hall and even briefly mentioned how Cindy McCain was joining ONE on a bi-partisan trip to Rwanda.
Later during the town hall meeting, ONE’s Marine, Michael Castaldo raised his hand and spoke with Sen. McCain about US efforts to fight AIDS and poverty in Africa and how it relates to Def. Sec. Gates’ recent call for more funding for humanitarian aid to help win hearts and minds around the world.
Programs like PEPFAR and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, are helping to save millions of lives around the world and lift millions more out of extreme poverty. But it also helps to create a safer and more secure future for those in need, and for us at home.

Sen. McCain seems to do a lot a these town hall meetings in the same areas of the countries as he did in the primaries.
It might be a good idea if he did his town hall meetings in other areas of the country which have not had the chance to participate in one of his town hall meetings to hear from a larger diversity of the American populace.
Thanks for the update, Matt.

And this is just why he won’t win…. there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between him and Obama who is giving away billions of our taxpayer dollars to foreign countries against the taxpayers wishes.
MDG are the UN agenda, NOT the American Agenda. Why don’t you socialists go live overseas? Stop stealing from us in the USA!!!
