ONE and Obama in Green Bay
Yesterday President Obama made a visit to Green Bay’s Southwest High School to discuss healthcare. I was part of the ONE volunteers present to thank President Obama for his work on behalf of the world’s poorest people, and encourage him in the fight for the $51.7 billion for the International Affairs Budget.
While we work to improve America’s healthcare system, President Obama understands that we can’t back away from our responsibility to help fight the global health care crisis that sees millions of people dying every year from preventable diseases.
Lieutenant Governor Barb Lawton, Wisconsin’s newest Ambassador for ONE, was also present at the event.
We found new ONE supporters on the spot and excited to “Fan” our facebook page! Join ONE Wisconsin’s grassroots team in Wisconsin by emailing onewisconsin@one.org or on Facebook.
