Let us not forget that America's children and adults are also in need of food and health care, as well as we also are undernourished when it comes to basic survival needs: sewing and knitting. For all the money spent on structures and amenities in our public schools, not one girl or boy is taught the basics of home economics (hemming, knitting, purliing, or money management and budgeting and saving skills). I think the Knit One Save One programs is wonderful, but the sharing of these skills to our own teenagers and grandmothers is what really counts--labor is the answer to the world's needs, in my view; and it begins at home.

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.

Sen. Frist has been in the forefront of changing lives for the better in the developing world for years and has done so consistently, whether the media is paying attention to him or not. Thank you, Mr. Frist, for being with our movement to end AIDS & extreme poverty from the beginning. We look forward to working with you until our common goals are achieved.
