An amazing email from a DNCC ONE Delegate Lori Macklin to ONE Vote ’08 National Coordinator Erin Eagan.
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

Matt Higgginson was in charge of local ONE volunteers for the DNCC all week and did an amazing job if I do say so myself. I thought posting some of the pics from his camera might give you a sense of what he was up to all week.
Local volunteers Brooke and Dana working the ONE Bus.
Darren & Lindsey from Littleton, CO, working the service project.
ONE volunteer Joe Marsh is signing Delegates up as they wait for their credentials.
And one of many volunteers who walked the 16th St. Mall in Denver and signed up new members to ONE.
