Although I know it is controversial for some, I think giving reproductive freedom to the women in these struggling countries would be the longer-term best answer to extreme poverty. More children should not be brought into these horrible conditions. Education & birth conrol provided to women has been shown to be the best & most effective way to pull a country out of extreme poverty. That NEEDS to be part of the discussion.

September 16, 2008 at 2:34 pm

This is a great idea. I will be sure to highlight it on change.org.

September 16, 2008 at 2:54 pm

If you think about it, no other question may affect the lives of more people around the world than a question on global poverty and disease. I truly hope this issue gets heard in this year’s debate.

September 16, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Sen, McCain: “Do you even know what Poverty is, who it effect and why they have a problem getting out of Poverty?” was the question a asked to be asked of McPain. I have no Idea if he knows what the Pain of poverty is. We need to tell him. Let’s take him to the same housing project Obama went to and have him stay there for (3) days # 3 that 3 should bye the next JOB for 1. wet loVe J Rome

Of central importance to my character and beliefs is the notion of equality; not that all people are born equal– because they are not– but in a world that decreasingly views national and cultural borders as boundaries, that we, who have worked to better ourselves, now turn to the our responsibility to ensure that our brothers and sisters, regardless of our differences, are helped to their feet, here, and throughout the world. We can claim no right to where we start, but we have the right of movement. Through movement, and for the benefit of us all, may where we find ourselves now always remain behind where we will be when the new dawn rises.

September 16, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Interesting to ask a question on global poverty, when the obvious answer is globalization itself. The continued imposition on developing countries to adopt the supply side capital intensive economic policies of the west are what increases poverty in the region as well as in impoverished areas of the US. You can only throw so much money at an issue. We here in the west are under the false illusion that everyone in America is adequately clothed, fed and housed. Not true!!! Yet we encourage similar economic in the developing world. We no longer encourage them to grow staple and sustainable crops, we supply them with arms for conflict and we continue the policies of divide and conquer in the regions (Africa, Asia, etc). It is interesting in regions which formally grew their own food, fed their people we have placed unbearable economic policies on them (IMF, World Bank)which have actually driven them to the current levels of poverty that they are experiencing. We tell them what crops to grow and how to manage their economis, ill advised policies which have led them to their current level of poverty. Examples are abundant, Haiti, Jamaica, Africa, Thailand, and other parts of SE Asia.

September 16, 2008 at 3:40 pm

Global poverty is a growing problem in the world today.
Yes, our nation along with others is providing aid, but aid in the terms of medical, financial, and nourishment alone may help individuals in an economy to survive longer, but it does not solve their problems. My question for the presidential debate is how would the candidates attempt to solve the poverty problem and help advance the economy of developing nations? We cant just give them what they need, we need to set them up for self sustainability that way they are not always dependent on others for what they need. Have you ever heard of the quote,”Give a man a fish feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish feed them for life.” Well, the same term applies but on a global scale. We need to teach the developing nations how to do what they need to do not only to survive but to increase economic growth within their nation.

September 16, 2008 at 4:03 pm

My question to McCain and Obama would be this:
What specific foreign policies, not aid packages, would you pursue to encourage development and growth in the least developed countries?
Throwing money at a situation only goes so far. Our policies towards these nations often offset the aid money that we send to these countries. We’d be better off finding ways that are mutually beneficial through trade and other economic relationships.

September 16, 2008 at 4:05 pm

I agree with Angela – we need to teach the people in these impoverished regions to survive and increase their economic growth. We, ourselves, also need to learn how to grow and survive. We as a nation have become so self important. We think that being a rich super power makes us right every time. We can go into countries and fight for human rights and an end to poveryt, but we end up trying to tell governments that they must be run our way and believe our way and speak our way. These things end up stopping local citizens from accepting our help. and increase the tension and the strength of the opressive regime in charge at the time. When a country thinks, as a country that we are there only to impose our views, we get a situation like that in the Middle East…

September 16, 2008 at 8:21 pm

This is not even a “debate” with only these two corporate parties! They don’t represent the average American citizen … they only represent their corporate interests! The only way this can be a real “debate” is to allow ALL the presidential candidates to participate EQUALLY!! Ralph Nader is on the ballots in at least 45 states and he is NOT tied to any corporate interests. Nader is the only candidate who actually has a detailed plan for all the issues. He also has dedicated almost 50 years of his life to actually working to make our lives better. Yet since the media do everything to keep the public from hearing about him, most people don’t even know he’s running!

We must STOP caving in to the two-party stranglehold on our so-called democracy!! STOP settling for the “lesser of two evils” … you don’t have to vote for “evil” at all!! With Nader on at least 45 state ballots AND with him allowed to equally participate in the debates, he WILL have a very strong chance of winning the election!! Not just “effecting” the outcome, but WINNING!! More than 80% of the American people agree with Nader’s stance on the issues, yet they say “well .. he doesn’t have a chance of winning”. BUT if he were allowed to take part in the debates (making them a REAL debate), the election would be turned upside down … the people will see that they actually DO have a choice to vote for someone who is NOT a “lesser evil”.

If you really want to fight to save our democracy, we must rally to include Nader in ALL the debates!!!

The whole notion of ONE is that people need to come together and end poverty as ONE. Lets not be partisan and divide as we come together as ONE to end poverty. Rather, lets address these issues in a non partisan, non biased manner to ensure that everyone preserves their dignity.

September 16, 2008 at 10:42 pm

Greg Mortenson of the Central Asia Institute has raised millions of dollars and built schools throughout Pakistan and its neighbors to bring basic education to girls, improve their ability to take care of their families and start small businesses of their own. His work is non-partisan and non-religious, and is exactly what we should be doing throughout the world to help the poor and disenfranchised learn to read enough to take care of themselves. He is on my saint list. This is ONE movement that deserves our full support.

September 17, 2008 at 1:33 pm

In addition to the personal imperative many of us feel as a result of our religious and moral training, to relieve suffering whenever we find it, there are practical reasons to address this issue.

Global poverty is a root cause of hunger, sickness, alienation, and desperation, which lead to the economic and political instability in these same areas which now threaten out own national security. It is no longer possible to isolate ourselves from suffering anywhere in the world.

A dollar spent fighting poverty may be more effective in bringing about peace among nations than a dollar in military expenditures spent in suppressing terrorists through violence, which invites further violence and requires more money to be spent repairing damaged infrastructure.

The deaths of innocent civilians and the resulting resentment and radicalization of the ordinary citizen create even more impediments to peace that can take generations to dispel.

What is it worth to us to build bridges of compassion and thereby keep our soldiers out of harm’s way? Why shouldn’t we devote at least as much resource to peace as to war?

September 17, 2008 at 10:13 pm

My question, should it be read at the debate, would be as follows: Four of the biggest issues facing us as a society are healthcare, energy, food, and water. The global population has the significant possibility of growing by another 50% in the next several decades. At what point do these commodities become rights instead of privileges?

September 18, 2008 at 3:16 pm

Art4peace, I know this subject is getting off track. Your right though, people need to wake up and stop selling out to the less of two evils. Respect the men & woman who have died for our freedom. Let’s give this great country back to the people, by the people !

September 19, 2008 at 10:59 am

Here’s what I said in my note:

Please, during the debate, will you ask the candidates for DETAILS on how they intend to take on global poverty?

America must help the rest of the world deal with poverty, We have, besides the moral imperative, the stark economic reality that hungry people are desperate. They are willing to migrate even to inhospitable areas in hope of survival. (See current broken US immigration system needing systemic reform as an example.) They believe in the loudest promises, even those coupled with calls to fight those who have food and are not sharing. (See power of despots and terrorists around the world.)

Please seek remedies for this cancer called poverty before the patient dies.

September 19, 2008 at 8:14 pm

I only have one question that I really love to ask. If there is no one that can deny that “God, people & Money” can change whatever that need to be changed, therefore it’s time to make use of them to change WAR to peace and POVERTY to something else. as you all know, School gives you education, Education gives you knowledge, Knowledge gives you money, Money gives you power, with the Power you can make use of it to POVERTY to something else. if you cannot deny it, you will have to accept it.

September 20, 2008 at 7:18 pm

to me i just think that everything sould change and start makeing home’s for people and give more e
Education to kids not just kids Also teens that need it and more i Also think that they should cut the
tax prices down i eman it is way to high for people that need tp pay there bills that need to be pay’d
off even the gas price. i really think that what is really the one of the biggest issu is world hunger
people and kids really need food to to live thats really important so is Globa Poverty

September 20, 2008 at 7:20 pm

September 22, 2008 at 4:01 pm

POVERTY?? I want to know why the United States staffs and maintains in excess of 735 military bases around the world. Empire? War on poverty? Or just an assurance that the poorest nation’s continue to support the USA party line??

September 22, 2008 at 4:10 pm

Today, here in the USA manyeducated and hard working people are being forced into poverty, homeless, sleeping in cars etc. due to the changes in the bankupcy laws and the lack of oversight and preditory lending practices by the banking and mortgage industries.
People are choosing not to get HeathCare due to the cost. If theya re so both as to seek treatment, They are risking loosing their homes.

As President, will you hold the banking industry accountable for the preditory lending practices that caused this catastrphy? Will the current Class Action Law suits in many states against these comapnies be made front page and not 10th page news? Will the bankrupcy laws be changed so that an illness will not cause homelessness in the USA?

September 22, 2008 at 4:32 pm

and http://www.neemtree.org
We can ask this question because we are a Global Community and it is responsible to inquire. I am certain of reply and that will be that we give enormous amounts of AID through USAID in humanitarian aid and chemical inputs, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) plants and seed stock (without acknowledgement it is GMO) that only weaken the food security of the nations we wish to help.
What we must do (and are doing at neemtree.org ) is seek to empower those individuals in countries by developing sustainable processes that enable them to reach levels of self sufficiency and attain eventual self reliance. That is the answer to global poverty, creation of a sustainable system that is on-going, not one of dependence that is a form of corporate colonialism. Helping feed in immediate circumstance is great but it must be augmented by systems that create infrastructures. If we do not seek these systems the global community will never reach food security because temporary handouts of food are just that, temporary and will never meet the growing demand and population growth. If we keep people in a cycle they will never get out of it.
This does not address our propensity to also promote bio-diesel fuel. That is something that will cause or create starvation at enormous levels as we outsource to emerging economies and promote growth of corn for our cars instead of food for people. If you want to see real hunger, if you want to see some very serious wars and civil unrest; wait until countries grow food for us to drive.

September 22, 2008 at 5:16 pm

I don’t know that global poverty will ever see the light of day in my life time. More and more situations creat more of the same every day! Asking a question of our Goverment officials is not the answer. Why do we run to our Goverment branches of office like they were our Mom and Pop? Why should the Goverment bail anyone out of the situation they are presently in?
Our Goverment was NEVER set up to bail anyone out! It was established to provide us some structure of State Goverment and rules and laws and representation of the People for the People! Now that we as a people have continualy given our Goverment the power to bail us out, they inturn are now sticking their fingers into everything! Anything that is going to create more wealth for the Federal Goverment, they are there sticking their price tag on it. They are over taxing businesses that now they have to or chose to leave the United States Of America! So the cure for Global pverty starts with each one of us and ends with each one of us! Take on a family, take on an individual, face that issue head on yourself and leave the Goverment out of it!

September 22, 2008 at 5:30 pm

i understand that we have a problem with global poverty but we also have a major problem here in america with hiv/aids . granted this is 2008 and not the 80s anymore ,but there is still alot more our government could do to help people that are hiv positive like myself to be able to afford my meds and healthcare , does the government realize that people like me have to pay at least 3000.00 dollars a mth just on anti viral meds …………….think about that……

September 22, 2008 at 6:21 pm

Cindi, your load is heavy and no one with a lick of sense would deny your need. If you have $3000 a month to pay for meds, I would be pleasantly surprised. But let’s look at it from this perspective: at least you have access to the meds. Many others do not. And worse: they don’t have food or potable water. What good are meds under those conditions?

September 22, 2008 at 11:01 pm

I think it is very important for a question to be asked at the presidential debate. Because in order to pick the presidential candidate that will help the movement the best, we must know each of their stands on it. And they seem to be passive, but if we were to confront them with a question at the debate we would find out their true feelings about it.

September 22, 2008 at 11:36 pm

I agree with Brandon. As of now, when confronted about poverty, which needless to say happens rarely, the presidential candidates divert the question and just repeat the same line that we as a nation have heard over and over again, WHEN I GET ELECTED THERE WILL BE A CHANGE, or WE WILL PROVIDE THEM WITH AID. Well nomatter how much AID we give them they will never know how to survive on their own, which just goes back to my origional post:
————–Global poverty is a growing problem in the world today.
-Yes, our nation along with others is providing aid, but aid in the terms of medical, financial, and nourishment alone may help individuals in an economy to survive longer, but it does not solve their problems. My question for the presidential debate is how would the candidates attempt to solve the poverty problem and help advance the economy of developing nations? We cant just give them what they need, we need to set them up for self sustainability that way they are not always dependent on others for what they need. Have you ever heard of the quote,”Give a man a fish feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish feed them for life.” Well, the same term applies but on a global scale. We need to teach the developing nations how to do what they need to do not only to survive but to increase economic growth within their nation.————-
If we dont address them about the problem at the debate we will never have an answer. That is the only way the truth will be revealed. I don’t want to keep hearing that THERE IS GOING TO BE A CHANGE, i want to hear what the change is going to be. I want to hear what they are going to do about the epidemic of poverty and disease that is spreading through out our planet.

September 22, 2008 at 11:42 pm

Oh, and by the way Art4Peace, not to burst your bubble or anything, but how many times has Nader ran for office and how many times has he been elected?
Oh, he never won, wow, what a shoker.
And he is still trying.
Now thets persistance.

September 23, 2008 at 1:45 am

I would like to see fighting global poverty, WITHOUT promoting the INTRINSICALLY EVIL WORK OF ABORTION!!

September 23, 2008 at 9:57 am

I know John McCain wants to keep fighting and ending free human life on earth even though we claim to be a civilized people. Understandably, sometimes there is no other option, but fighting should only be self-defense. McCain also doesn’t like to spend money. Why do we go to war and spend 10 billion dollars a month to kill tens of thousands of people in revenge of 2,819 people and not protect the lives of those 15 million children who are losing a war with hunger and global poverty every year?

September 23, 2008 at 2:05 pm

where are you on wind and solar ?

September 23, 2008 at 7:08 pm

My proposed question: Polls show that Americans want to help people in impoverished countries and feel we are a generous nation, yet our foreign aid efforts are hampered by politically motivated requirements. For instance, food aid must be bought from American sources and shipped in American vessels thousands of miles to be distributed. This results in as much as 65 cents of every dollar of our food aid being spent on non-food expense and hurts the development of the local economies we are trying to help. What will you do to bring U.S. foreign aid back to its real purpose: fighting poverty and building healthy, stable countries?

Foreign aid reform is a hot issue in DC right now. For some great, thoughtful and reliable information on strategies that WORK – and how you can support them – go to http://www.results.org. RESULTS is a ONE partner and trains ordinary citizens to do nitty-gritty lobbying work to get action.

September 23, 2008 at 8:09 pm

I believe strategic state-level election reform is critical for committing the US long-term to ending Global Poverty.

All true, very sadly true. We also need to allow third parties to debate with the Senators. Ralph Nader would not run from One’s question…

September 25, 2008 at 6:49 pm

El sistema gubernamental llevo al pais a la quiebra para financiar una guerra que cuesta $300 millones diarios y a la que nadie le encuentra ni pies ni cabeza. Solo un mes de guerra acabaria con la pobreza y hambruna mundial. Pero nadie piensa en eso cuando de gastar billones se trata. Recientemente Clinton creo una fundacion que busca recaudar $20 millones para la entrega de kits de $10 (inspirado en la campana de las redes contra mosquitos) que busca educar, guiar y proveer lo basico para el cuidado y la supervivencia de bebes recien nacidos. En el 2007 9.2 millones de niños murieron antes de cumplir 5 años, 90% por hambre, 10% por enfermedades como la malaria y demas desgracias traidas por la pobreza y el mismo hombre.
De esos 9.2 millones, 4.8 millones fueron bebes que murieron en los primeros 28 dias de vida, por algo tan basico como el no poder lavar las manos antes de atenderlos o de atender un parto. La campana es buena, acertada y necesesaria con caracter de emergencia pero $20 millones me parece muy poco, mas en un ambiente politico en el que se recaudan miles de millones para sufragar una campana politica que ha resultado ser la mas absurda de la historia en la que ha sido la controversia y no un plan de gobierno lo que ha movido las estadisticas. Una campaña en la que incluso Hillary puso $5 millones para financiar su propia campana a solo 2 meses de anunciar su retiro, absurdo no? Lo que deseo para este pais es que pronto haya un gobernante que se atreva a hacer su trabajo como debe ser y que esos $20 millones se parezca mas a las sumas que sin gesitar son recaudadas para sufragar una simple campaña politica.

September 25, 2008 at 7:51 pm

A system that took the country to bankruptcy to finance a war that costs Americans $300 millions a day. The cost of just 1 month of war could even end World hunger or poverty. But nobody thinks about it when spending billions.

Recently Clinton family created a fundation to raise $20 millions to provide $10 kits (inspired in the mosquito nets campaing) for families with newborns. This kit would guide and help to provide basic care for the babies. In 2007, 9.2 millions of children died before their 5th birhtday, 90% died because of hunger, 10% for diseases and other causes related to poverty.

4.8 millions of those 9.2 were babies who died during their first 28 days of life, for easy to prevent and easy to avoid causes like not washing the hands before taking care of them or before atending birth and delivery. This $20 million raising campaing should be under emergency characteristics since it is absolutely necessary, however $20 millions is a really low number among politics. We all know the political fund raising campaings that take place even for this election, that happen to be one of the most absurd of history, where controversy plays a more important role than any government plan offered by any of the parties. We all know how Hillary put $5 millions to finance her own campaing just a few months before her retirement.

All I want for this country is a leader who would really do his job as he is supposed to, someone who wouldn’t be afraid of declaring war to hunger and poverty, and that those $20 millions become more like the figures politics collect to finance their own political campaings.

September 30, 2008 at 4:29 pm

Actually, global poverty is not on the rise. It is declining. Thanks to immunization programs sponsored by foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Bill Clinton’s foundation, advances in medicince and medical delivery systems, more educated doctors in developing nations returning to their countries and some other factors, childhood malaria and HIV/AIDs has been drastically reduced from 10 years ago.

There are still many areas left and much work to be done. One area lagging is education, especially for girls. In sub-Saharan Africa on 1 of 5 girls receives any schooling at all. It is especially important to educate girls because girls effect the local economy more than boys. Even a slightly educated girl, 3- years, will delay child birth, is less likely to contract HIV/AIDS, is more likely to earn an income, is less likely to submit her daughters to genital mutilation and is more likely to educate her own children, obtain healthcare for them and to generally break the cycle of poverty.

Please do not despair With very little investment, leveraged in the right way, global poverty can be elasticated in our lifetime.!

October 7, 2008 at 7:14 pm

My question would be this, directed to Senator Obama:

Mr. Obama,
You have sponsored legislation for Americans to pay a Global Poverty Tax. (American taxpayers would be required to provide welfare on a global basis, not just here in the United States). As I understand it, this legislation has passed in the Senate and is now awaiting approval in the House. My question to you is this: How can you ask American citizens to pay tax to provide welfare to the world, when YOU have a brother (half-brother) living in Kenya on $1.00 a day and you don’t lift a finger to help him? Am I correct in understanding that you expect Americans to provide for your brother while you sit in your million dollar home? Please explain…

October 7, 2008 at 8:54 pm

Elizabeth: Mr. Obama’s half brother George living in Kenya said himself that he is very proud of Barack and does not want any financial help.

“When you have a brother who wants to be the number one most important person in the world, it obviously gives you a lot of inspiration,” Mr Obama, 26, said at his corrugated tin shack in a Nairobi slum.

“There was a long time when I was just taking a break, doing nothing, trying to find myself and what I wanted to do. Now I am more focused on my future, and I can say it is because I understand more about things because of hearing what Barack is doing.”

He will not be calling on his famous brother for help, however.

“We have only met twice, once when I was five or six, and again in 2006,” he said. ” I cannot say that we are close, he probably does not even think about me. I am not going to start pestering him, I don’t want to look to him for help, I want to achieve things for myself.

“Of course, if I was in the US I would vote for him, I think everyone should. But I am a bit biased,” he joked. –George Obama

October 7, 2008 at 9:51 pm

Lisa,

Such an ironic situation to quote. Maybe there is some *Nation First* involved in Barack’s thin relationship with George. It will be interesting to follow George’s life if his half brother gets elected. At least George is his own man, self-directed even if he is a bit lost in Life lately, and he wants to proceed on his own merits and steam. He probably shares some of his brother’s sense of dignity and perhaps somewhat less of his self-confidence and ambition, but he appears devoid of neither.

No nepotism seems likely to occur here, anyway. I hope he remains as pure as he sounds and doesn’t eventually exploit Barack’s status or embarrass him like Billy Beer Carter did to Jimmy, tolerated as he was. Not that there was much Jimmy could do, and he knew it.

I live in a financial state and with a plotted course in Life somewhat similar to George’s, and realize that I’m way better off in America and with the choices available to me, but I forgo some small luxuries to support Kiva.org financially. My dollars are precious so all my other numerous contributions to charity is as a volunteer, but I hope and believe that the Kiva approach is such a positive place to put money because over time each dollar I send will grow almost exponentially and improve more lives in need way beyond what I can even imagine.

One.org of course is a crucial program, too, the more so since whoever ends up in the White House next will probably reduce foreign aid considerably, as Senator Biden said in his debate.

October 7, 2008 at 11:28 pm

>when YOU have a brother (half-brother) living in Kenya on $1.00 a day and you >don’t lift a finger to help him?

This is exactly what I was wondering, Obama DOES NOT EVEN CARE for his own family in Kenya!!!, do you think he is going to care for us, the American people???? I do not think so!!, I think the only thing he cares is for himself!!, to be elected President of this Great Nation!!!

GOD HAVE MERCY OF AMERICA IF OBAMA is elected

October 8, 2008 at 10:04 am

to dave: I agree about what an ironic situation for me to be quoting about on this ONE Blog! I was emotionally responding to the other posters criticism towards Obama. It was interesting to read about Obama’s brother being inspired about hearing what his half brother is doing in America. I hope George Obama continues on this more positive path for his life. Barack Obama scores A+ on Darfur Scores dot com! I hope when he becomes president he will continue to press for aid to the nations around the world that have deep poverty which will in turn help his fathers and half brothers home land.
