Fix This Budget: Delivering in DC
ONE members’ dedication and commitment to the fight against global poverty never ceases to amaze me – or members of Congress for that matter! Volunteers from DC, Virginia and Maryland took their lunch breaks today to deliver the Fix the Budget petitions to the Senate encouraging senators to sign on to the bipartisan Kerry Lugar letter in support of the president’s International Affairs Budget request, and thanking current cosigners (29 so far!)
Your voice is heard online AND offline when we take your petition signatures directly to your elected officials in Washington. Thank you to all those who have added their names to the petition, and a big thanks to our DC area ONE volunteers! Keep up the good work reaching out to your senators in DC, and follow up with them when they’re home for the upcoming holiday! GO ONE!
