ONE members reach out to public officials in the Granite State
ONE is hitting the campaign trail to find out where candidates in New Hampshire, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Florida stand on extreme poverty. Stay tuned for more updates like these from our field team and organizers on the road.
Already, New Hampshire ONE members are taking action to ensure that our elected leaders know that with continued leadership, our nation can help save millions of lives in the developing world.
The other day, ONE member Trey Schaft was at work when New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch came to visit. Trey, fresh off his engagement with New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg was able to speak briefly with Gov. Lynch and thanked him for his past support of ONE.
Gov. Lynch has already made New Hampshire a ONE State, and even spoke at our ONE event with the African Children’s Choir at the New Hampshire State House. Gov. Lynch was complimentary and supportive of our bipartisan efforts and took time to take a photo with Trey – who of course, was wearing his ONE band – and with New Hampshire state Sen. Bob Odell as well as Kate Managan who also is a ONE member!
And this past Tuesday, ONE member Jason Bloxham attended an Americans for Prosperity event in Exeter and wore his ONE shirt. He was able to speak with many of the Senate candidates, and took time to snap a quick photo with Jim Bender, who put the photo on his Senate campaign Facebook page!
All over New Hampshire and across America, ONE members are letting our elected leaders know that US efforts in Africa are helping to end deaths from malaria, turn the tide against HIV/AIDS and help fight corruption in the poorest places on earth. Good people from all backgrounds, faiths and political parties are uniting to ensure that America stands tall with those in Africa who struggle to overcome extreme poverty.
Be sure to connect with other ONE Vote 2010 New Hampshire members on Facebook and Twitter.
