Subject: We can end hunger!
Hi,
I've just taken action with the ONE campaign and asked my senators to set an example for the world by fully funding President Obama's request for $1.36 billion in global agricultural development funding.
I hope you'll join me: http://www.one.org/us/ag09/index.html?rc=ag09taf
This action couldn't be more urgent. Next week, President Obama and world leaders will meet in Rome for the G8 Summit. If we can convince the senate to step-up the fight against hunger now, America will set an example for the world and put pressure on other countries to invest in a global effort to end hunger.

Together as ONE we can make a difference!
Thanks!
