As you know, last week the Center for Global Development and Foreign Policy magazine awarded ONE the 6th Annual Commitment to Development Award. This was a huge honor for us. Senators John McCain and Tom Daschle, along with Cindy McCain and Steve Radelet were there to discuss the successes of our ONE Vote ’08 Campaign and ONE’s impact on the 2008 US Presidential election. The event also featured an excellent panel discussion with star ONE volunteers Danielle DePas, Michael Castaldo, and Matthew McAllister.

This was a really great celebration of all the hard work from thousands of ONE members across the country. We compiled a short video of some of the highlights from the event (the panel discussion begins at 6:49). Enjoy!
