In just a few minutes, a few ONE staffers will be delivering your petition signatures and postcards to President Obama to USAID Administrator Raj Shah. Nearly 7,500 US ONE members wrote a heartfelt message to the President (urging him to make agriculture a priority at the G8) on our special postcards embedded with carrot seeds — which is pretty incredible, if you ask me!
But before we leave the office, I just wanted to highlight a few of our favorite postcards from our huge pile here at the ONE office. Some of them will make you laugh!
Direct. We like it!
It’s true! You can just plant the paper in the ground and carrots will grow.
A child’s message is always the most moving.
A higher calling.
Be an American!
Sweet and simple.
Right on message.
Yo, great message.
Love the peace sign.
Your handwriting is a little hard to read — but we get the message!
This kid is going to grow up to be awesome.
A little bolding never hurt anyone.
This line always works.
We’ll be posting photos from our postcard and petition delivery to Administrator Shah in just a bit, so keep an eye out for them on the ONE Blog. And thank you to all who wrote a postcard to the President — you’re amazing. Now we just have to make sure that he and other G8 leaders deliver during this weekend’s Summit!
