Obama in London
As we’ve been blogging about recently leaders from 20 of the world’s largest economies are gathering in London for the G20 Summit in a little over a week—the most important talks to date on rebuilding the global economy. For the 53 million people teetering on the edge, this is a make-or-break moment during which President Obama’s influence upon other world leaders could make all the difference.
Please sign our petition asking President Obama to provide leadership for the G20 by including the poorest nations in their solutions to the financial crisis.
President Obama,
Please advocate for the resources, reform, and regulation that developing countries need to weather the financial crisis.
ONE is advocating a specific focus on the 3 R’s—resources, reform, and regulation—to bring needed recovery in the poorest nations on Earth. Please sign our petition asking President Obama to urge other G20 leaders to include developing nations in their solutions to financial crisis.
Thank you for your voice,
-Chris Scott

I would like to say that I agree with everything that I have just read. We do live in a globle economy (as we are all well aware of) and it is important to help our neighbors across the globe whenever possible. I would also like to say that I would like to see the greedy people that have power in those countries help those less fortunate
and realize how important each and every individual is and that the very people that they are terrorizing could be their countries greatest asset. As a american citizen I have wittnessed our own struggles and I marvel at how we have all banded together and turned another page in our history book where once again their is hope and confidence in our great nation. Sooooooooo, look to your fellow citizens, those that somehow seem unimportant to you, they may be your salvation in this world, if they are lifted up, they will do the same for you, if they are mistreated they will never forget. Don’t think that the biggest person in the world cannot be brought down, because they can. All you have to do is look at the history books. Sooner or later justice prevails. How can a group of people band together to destroy their own country? So sad, so tragic, we can help them, but they must learn to help each other within their own borders and put down their guns……………they are only destroying themselves…………

I would like President Obama to address issues concerning unemployment and mass movement of young and energetic Africans leaving home. Africa seems to have the worst economy in terms of others. but how can we survive if if the are no major possibilities to foster Developments in African Countries. More to that I think the worst and greedy men in charge of political powers in Africa should be looked on. Africa is not a Hell per-say but I think that if considerations are put forth. more time should be looked on cases concerning African leaders who have refuse to Share power with others. more to that youths should be involved in most development issues. Its so bad to see the number of Africans dying just because they are running away from home. Is that not a sign that Africa is a hell? or do they mean to tell us that the rest of the world is a paradise?. I think no People should be oriented on how to make life meaningful where they are and even given the means to do so.
