ONE members across the country have been busy engaging their respective congressman and senators during the August recess.
Maryland ONE member Nancy Kobel put forth a strong effort to meet with her congressman, Rep. John Sarbanes, (D-Md.), to let him know that she and her fellow constituents care about fighting extreme poverty and preventable disease.
While Nancy was awaiting an appointment, Sarbanes sent her a personally signed letter explaining that he is a strong supporter of providing aid to developing nations! Nancy was thrilled to receive these important words from her congressman! You can read the letter below:
