Take Action: Add Poverty-Fighting to The Democratic and Republican Party Platforms
Share
When the Democratic and Republican parties meet for their conventions at the end of August and early September, they’ll be unveiling their parties’ new platforms – and we want to make sure that the fight against extreme poverty is an important part of both of those platforms.
That why our ONE Vote ‘08 Co-Chairs, Senators Bill Frist and Tom Daschle will be meeting with leaders of both parties, and taking a petition from ONE members urging them to make poverty-fighting a priority for both the Democratic and Republican parties.
Click this link and we’ll add your name to the petition
Petition Text:
As a proud American, I urge you to make ending extreme poverty and global disease in the developing world a core part of your 2008 platform by including commitments to:
- Fight AIDS, TB and malaria and improve basic health services, particularly for mothers and young children
- Ensure access to clean water, basic sanitation and sufficient food supplies
- Spur economic growth through equitable trade and investment policies
- Modernize and increase development assistance, focusing on partnership, transparency and accountability
- Achieve universal primary education
- Previous Post Bono On The Passage of PEPFAR
- Next Post Music Builds, ONE Rocks

I’ve signed the petition. Let’s go One members. They say there are 2 million of us. Hopefully we can double the 50,000 signatures they are shooting for. Lets support Senator Frist and Senator Daschle, but more importantly lets support ONE!!!

I have also just gotten done signing my name to this petition and leaving a personal message for those who will receive our petitions. Like GinnyD, I encourage everyONE of us to sign this petition.
This is what democracy is all about.
I remember four years ago at the last round of Presidentialcoventions how we were talking about bringing the issues that we advocate for directly into the platform fights at this year’s conventions – and we are!
ONE Vote “08 means that we make sure to keep the politicians’ feet to the fire on our issues and let them know that we are watching what they’re doing in Congress.
This is another step to our ultimate goal of ultimately having 1% of the federal budget set aside for programs that fight AIDS & extreme poverty.
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE – let’s keep up the pressure !
ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE – debbie

We are all on the same page here. The next step after you sign the petition is to share ONE with others and let them know what we are doing so they can sign too. It’s the way to get 50,000 signatures and stop global poverty.
