Just One More Day
Last week we announced our campaign to make sure at least ONE question about global poverty is asked at the first presidential debate this Friday. As of now, nearly 90,000 of you have added your voice to the Just ONE Question Campaign, smashing our goal of 50,000. With just one more day to go before we deliver the petition to Jim Lehrer’s office in Arlington, Virginia we’re quickly approaching our new goal of 100,000.
It’s more important than ever that our issues are recognized and discussed at Friday’s presidential debate. Please add your voice by clicking here. And send a message to your friends and family by clicking here.
Thank you for your voice,

Screw the other “poor countries” of the world; what about taking care of things here at home in America? How about getting Healthcare under control here first?… How about stemming poverty in the United States first?… Who’s going to come to the aid of America once our society “implodes”; which it’s on the very edge of ecomomically, politically, resource-wise, healthcare-wise, employment-wise, illegal-immigration/iinvasion-wise, militarily, and so on. Let’s get America in propper shape first before helping strangers of the world. C’mon.
