Barack Obama opened his Charleston, South Carolina, presidential campaign office on Thursday. Everyone I talked to at the event seemed to be on the same page: that America needs to do more for the poverty and disease global crises. More than a few agreed that fighting extreme poverty and AIDS was a great idea to bolster the image of the United States while simultaneously helping people who desperately need a helping hand. No one was shy when it came to asking for ONE wrist bands either!
Barack Obama’s brother in-law, Craig Robinson, was the main speaker. Although I was unable to introduce myself to Mr. Robinson, I talked with a number of other individuals like Kevin Puelo and Lauren Champagne who are key players in Obama’s campaign in Charleston.

 On Wednesday I attended a Duncan Hunter Meet and Greet in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina.
I arrived probably a good 45 minutes before Congressman Hunter arrived and just set up in the room where everyone was scheduled to meet. Everyone was very nice and knowledgeable about the ONE Campaign itself. I had no problems getting introduced and explaining to Congressman Hunter what ONE was all about. He was cordial and was not hesitant to take a bracelet.
Attached is the picture that I got.
