Subject: Join me in asking the Senate to Upgrade Aid!
Hi,
I've just signed on to ONE's Upgrade Aid campaign, asking the Senate to support a bill that will dramatically improve the accountability and quality of U.S. foreign assistance to benefit millions of the world's poorest people. I'm asking you to add your voice, as well, and strengthen our movement to Upgrade Aid.

Together as ONE, we can make a difference.
Thank You,

Senate Mark-up Delayed
The mark-up, or committee discussion of the Kerry-Lugar Foreign Assistance Revitalization and Accountability Act (S. 1524) was originally set for September 22, 2009. But the sponsors decided to push it back a week, to September 29, to allow more time for public support to accumulate.

ONE Members Launch Petition to Senate
Undaunted by the delays, ONE members rallied to launch a new campaign to show their senators that Americans not only care, but care en masse about making U.S. foreign aid better, smarter and more effective for the 1.4 billion people worldwide who live on less than $1.25 a day.
