Last week, Pennsylvania marked the official launch of ONE Vote ‘08 in the state with a kick-off event at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA. The event brought together ONE members from around the state and PA’s ONE Vote ‘08 bipartisan co-chairs, former U.S. Senators Rick Santorum (R) and Harris Wofford (D).
The event offered an excellent backdrop for ONE Vote ’08 in Pennsylvania and it was great to see Mr. Santorum and Mr. Wofford, two former political rivals who once competed for the same Senate seat, put aside their political differences to speak of their own commitment to the issues of global health and poverty and encourage all Pennsylvanians to join the fight!
