Hello fellow ONE member,
I appreciate Bono speaking out on behalf of the worlds poor and sick. 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

Hearty Congratulations for all that ONE is accomplishing. I am impressed that our senators have emphasized the American commitment to the poor and under privileged. Hats off to the initiative ONE is taking in this task. Thanks for all that you are doing towards ameliorating global poverty and disease.

I am convinced that illiteracy and poverty go together. I would like to see the effort of ONE in this sacred task includes combating global illiteracy.

I wish all success to ONE in this important endeavor.

Ok, I guess we’re giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, again? Well don’t pop the cork yet my fellow sheeples. And it might also be a good idea to expand the vistas of our observations as well. Look at the forest as well as the trees. And all that.

When is it going to be time to invoke “shame” on the same politicians whose various past achievements keep “blowbacking” in our faces?

I suppose there is no choice now but to wait and see, but I believe Pete Townsend said it best… “Don’t get fooled again!”

Endeavour to persavere!

ps~ have you read Bono’s “On the Move”??? Very, very REAL and touching. If you decide not to read anything else in print, please consider this ONE book, it could change a life. If not many. Its our mission.

I am indeed grateful that our senators have done their homework. I was very happy with Barbara Boxer’s questions, especially as related to women’s issues. Now, let us hope there are not too many road blocks in the way of implementation.

I became involved years ago when I learned about One.org from a community leader who gave us white wrist bands to wear. I wore mine for years.

Shortly after that I heard on the news about One.org when the G8 community was meeting and One.org held concerts all over the world to reach millions and get the word out to the G8 community about a solution to world poverty in 20 years.

Now, here I am years later, reading this email about the senate’s focus and priority on solving world proverty! I believe this awareness to focus on world proverty is a result of One.org’s campaign over the years. The highly visible extent of senate’s focus on world proverty is new. Political action by our national community is hopeful. If just One percent of the G8 budget was allocated towards the solution- in 20 years we would totally eliminate the world’s most extreme hardships – polluted water and poor sewerage systems. Very basic survival requirements – things most of us take for granted. It is hard to phathom the enormous improvement that would be made by providing clean water and proper sewer systems – it would change everything for those who now suffer from the lack of it.

Hope springs eternal. Let’s hear it for always keeping the campaign Large and Alive in the world’s political arena – G8, and at home in Congress and in the Senate. I am so grateful to all those people who tirelessly give themselves to this effort. Thank you.

CONGRATULATIONS ONE!!! this is a great initiative. I wish we had done this before. I am hoping that the new administration will restore the reputation of the U S and bring much needed peace to the world. Also we definitely need to find a solution to world hunger, especially taking children’s health and education as our first priority.
