Down in Downingtown with the McCains
Cindy and John McCain were just about to leave a rally in Downingtown, PA but stopped when they saw my ONE shirt! They came back around and I gave both of them white wristbands, thanking them for their support. Mrs. McCain commented on how much she enjoyed her trip to Rwanda with ONE this summer and Senator McCain thanked me and all of the ONE volunteers he sees at his rallies across the country for being advocates for the world’s poor.
Every voice in the fight against global poverty really does count, whether you have a national podium or a black and white ONE t-shirt in a crowd.

That’s really exciting. I like that McCain seems fully aware of ONE’s contributions and his wife is as well. I also appreciate how ONE stays unswervingly committed to its cause no matter which candidate takes office–it’s nice to know that whether a hyper conservative or liberal illuminati agenda prevails (probably some of both), ONE will be there standing up for the world’s poor.
