Your Calls Matter
Earlier today, we informed ONE Members of an opportunity to reach out to our members of Congress in support of the President’s 2011 International Affairs Budget Request. And ONE Members, as they always do, quickly responded. Here’s a sample of responses we’ve gotten from people who’ve called their members of Congress:
my first time calling my senator and i’m glad it was to hopefully help moms and their daughters!! (being a mom myself!)
First time I’ve ever called my senator about anything…the staffer took my name and address, and said they’d be happy to share that with the Senator.
I called Senator Barbara Boxer office and talked to one of her staff member. After I told him that I want my senator to support the President’s Foreign Affairs Budget, he told me that you got it!
The call went well, I explained that I supported the Foreign Affairs Budget request after saying that I was a member of ONE.org. I thanked her for her time, and hung up. I hope that many others do the same.
they were very supportive and said they would pass this along!
These calls are easy to make, and make all the difference in the world. You can find the numbers and talking points you need for the House here, and for the Senate here.

These no-sew blankets are simple to make and are a cheap present idea for particular occasions. The incontrovertible fact that polar fleece comes in a mixture of patterns makes it simple to customize every no-sew blanket for everyone. Make a plaid or sports theme blanket for the men, floral or animal print blankets for the women and character prints for the kids. The selections are unlimited.
