From a ONE Delegate at the DNCC

Dear Erin,
Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in this week’s DNC as a ONE delegate - it was a blast!! My husband and I stopped by the ONE bus and participated in the ONE Service Project at Manual High School, where I got to meet David Lane and see Dana Buck, my old friend from World Vision. It felt so good to be a part of the caregiver kit project - Josh from Daughtry told me in the assembly line that it meant a lot to him to do something so meaningful.
At our morning delegation breakfast meeting on Wednesday, I spoke about ONE and distributed wrist bands to our entire WA State delegation. People were very interested, and I encouraged them to join the movement. There are a couple of photos attached of us wearing ONE gear at the convention, and a friend sent me this link to a photo from MSNBC, where I was hugging my fellow delegate, Moe Spencer, after Barack Obama was proclaimed the nominee by acclamation:
Thanks so much for all that you do, and for being at both the DNC and RNC - ONE’s issues should matter to all of us, and I’m so proud to be a part of the movement to eradicate global poverty and disease.
Greetings to Josh Peck and Jamie Drummond too!
Sincerely Yours,
Lori Macklin
Obama National Delegate
Washington State
