Hunger: A Key Issue on the Hill…and to Voters?
Share
The library at Miami University in Ohio was abuzz on Monday night, but not from studying. The buzz was a group of students meeting to discuss how to end global poverty. This past semester the student group has been incredibly active in making ONE’s presence known on Miami’s campus.
Led by students Megan Casey, Ashley Leonard and Amanda Beckham, ONE Miami has held several events on and off campus. This semester alone Miami students have held events at local bars and concert halls signing up new members. They also hosted the ONE Bus and collaborated with several other student organizations.
There is no doubt that other campuses can model Miami in starting an organization on their campus and quickly become active. Congratulations to all Miami ONE members on all the work you have done! Keep it up!

The USA is functionally bankrupt. The powers that be will not admit this. The national debt during this economic crisis will skyrocket over $15 trillion.
The very poor in this country will increase dramatically.
My point is, unless there is dramatic spending cuts, increase in net tax revenue, we are borrowing into oblivion to fund all these programs and to give economic aid. The US may fall further and harder than any other 235 year old country ever has. Who will help us?
Help ourselves first and then help the teeming masses overseas.

I have just be let go from my second job this year and am fighting to receive unemployment insurance.
My life is really hard on many levels YET I will contunue to support ONE because I know how much poverty sucks.
Before the programs to help end AIDS & poverty in our world are cut, I want to see the CEO salaries of those corporations that got the $700 billion cut.
Why don’t all the naysayers in the ONE blog ever mention cutting the fat cats’ salaries? They get the BIG money to prop up their horrible business practices.
ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE – debbie
