Music Builds Tour Visits Phoenix
Share
Last week at the ONE Music Builds Tour stop in Phoenix, Arizona, local ONE volunteers came out in full force to talk about the ONE Campaign and our efforts to raise awareness about global health and extreme poverty.
The Tour, which featured outstanding performances from Third Day, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Switchfoot and Jars of Clay, brought thousands of energized fans to the Dodge Theatre in downtown Phoenix.
Armed with clipboards, ONE pamphlets and our signature white ONE wristbands, ONE volunteers set out to inform and sign up the excited crowd. Collectively we were able to get more than 300 concert-goers to sign the ONE Declaration.
Stay tuned for more from the Music Builds Tour, which continues this week with a concert on October 2nd in Dallas, Texas!

Great work in Phoenix. I used to live there. Now I’m in Fort Worth, going to the Music Builds concert tonight. I’m excited to see Switchfoot.

Why should America care about a bunch of losers, “If they can’t feed them, then they shouldn’t breed them.” If these people are living in mysery, then nuke them because dead people feel no pain. If they are not Americans then to Hell with them, America first and let the rest of the world take care of themselves. If people don’t like living in America then move the Hell out and go live with those people they are concerned about, give up their citizenship and become one of them. Americans shed their blood for America not some money pit across the Atlantic ocean. There’s too many people on this earth already so cut those worthless bunch loose and take care of our own, FTW.

It’s time we in America think about getting our Country back together. I saw your ad on TV. You need to take the money you spend on advertising and put that toward all the things listed in your ad. It’s time for America to clean up their debt, and their government and get back to good moral and family values. I believe in helping those who help themselves not enabling people like our government has done in our country. When and if our Country gets its act together, then I would vote to consider helping others as long as the money we give doesn’t go to some dictator or some despot.

In 2008, isn’t the time right for the United States of America to re-focus attentions and resources to aid and assist the needs of our Domestic poor, and finally begin to give less to those in foreign lands?
