This week Barack Obama held a rally here in Las Vegas, NV. We had a great showing from ONE members who wanted to hear more details about Obama’s plan to fight global poverty and disease.
With the economy dominating the current debate, global development was not discussed, but we were happy to be there and continue to make ONE’s presence known on the campaign trail.

Just where is Obama going to get all this funding he’s promising to these causes? I’d believe it when I see it. . . glad to know we’ll never have to see it.

Well one the troops are brought home, he will get the funding from the same account they get the 10 billion a month that is spent in Iraq.
