On Friday morning I stopped into three offices of my US Congress members to personally deliver a letter and a packet about ONE. At each of the offices I spoke to a district representative; Dave Campbell for Congressman Boswell, Kevin Condon for Senator Harkin and Aaron McKay for Senator Grassley.
I asked the representatives to urge the Congress members to not turn our back to the world’s most venerable people, even in these tough economic times. I hope the Congress members will strive to keep America’s role as global leader by supporting smart and affordable strategies that have been proven to deliver results.
