It was very scary for her but it was funny.

Don’t forget that the number one question asked Obama was “Will you legalize marijuana?”. Think about the benefits that medical cannabis can have on the millions of suffering Africans. I am very disturbed when I hear that UN Police are using international aid money to persecute cannabis growers in Africa and destroy such an important beneficial crop. Bono has enormous influence on UN leaders, and some of the world’s most powerful people. Please don’t think for a moment that by removing cannabis the UN is in any way helping the poor people of Africa or any other continent. This is a grave injustice, and I'm sure the sick and dying Africans effected by such laws would agree. The cannabis plant can help to provide food, clothing, shelter, safe medicine, and eco-friendly fuel. If the One Campaign really wants to help the poor, we should let them grow hemp, and if we must get involved, help them succeed in taking advantage of the many benefits of the hemp industry. I hope Bono keeps up the good work, and helps to stop the bad work. Thanx. www.nycamp.org I appreciate Bono speaking out on behalf of the worlds poor and sick.

I was traveling with my friend Agnes from Uganda. I know she had a great time. She told me she enjoyed Bono's speech and the whole program. I was so glad she could be there to see this while on her visit to the US. I know it will never be a day to forget, spending time with 2 great people in Long beach and seeing a powerful confrenece.

My husband is from one of the poorest country I had visit 10 year ago. Bangladesh is now suffering more than ever. My husband arrived a few days ago, and can feel the sufering of his beloved country. Yes as Americans as human beings we need to be conscoius of the extreme poverty that exists. No country should decide whether you live or die. Bonos' speech should remind us of our mission ......A mission to succeed in love and sharing......A mission to see beyond our needs but the needs of others.....A mission to respect life and be greatful by giving life....A mission to LOVE!!!!!

The Bible says "Do unto others as you would have done unto you" You are a great example of this. I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that reminded me of you; It had the Muslim Moon, a peace symbol, an e that had the symbols for men & women, the star of David, an I with an symbol I couldn't make out as it was too small, An S that had the yin & yang symbol in it, & the Christian Cross - reading "COEXIST" I don't know where I can get one, but when I find it, I'm getting it & putting on my car, & it will be the ONLY bumper sticker on my car. Thank you for your influence on not just the white race, the black race, but the HUMAN RACE. We have all forgotten that we all belong to the HUMAN RACE, If we can start to remember that, I beleive harmony can start to reign in a world of great dispare. I am, & always will be, a BIG fan.

We need your inspirational example to get us into action. I do not have cable TV nor cell phones. I go to the Beauty School to get $6 hair cuts and leave a $5 tip (this is a win/win). I spend less than I make cuz I feel alive when I give to the International Rescue Committee and other organizations that I believe are responsible in managing finances. ONE is now another one of my favorite places that I choose. Thank you for being you. Love Ya,Peggy Bono Please continue to take A+ care of yourself and family. We need your inspirational example

What I appreciate is the idea of church that he's given me. The fact that I can take my church with me by doing something good, being someone who does good, someone who gives back, I think that's the greatest form of worship to GOD, and Jesus, actually no matter what religion you are in fact, mine just happens to be Christian... I don't think there are many people out there who can inspire idea's like that without realizing it, who can jolt people out of their sleep with a joke, then make them aware of all the endless injustices and inequalities in the world, and even more aware that there is an equally endless amount of hope for change and goodness, and then put them back to bed with a growing determination to DO something when they wake up again...Thanks Bono. Thanks too for all the amazing music U2 makes, and all the great works the rest of U2 do, just a little quieter I guess. ;) Your all awesome!

It is amazing how much we resist calls to action that force us to break out and look halfway across the world. We are terribly resistant to moving beyond the borders of our own heads and our own homes and our own national borders. More voice's like Bono's are necessary to help us awake from this dream of separateness! This speech is really working to shake me out of my cocoon.
