The One Campaign

[Anders]

Many of you may have seen a link to The One Campaign in my signature, and may or may not have clicked it to see what it was about. It's a campaign that is trying to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty throughout the world and particularily Africa. There is no money requested, they just want you to sign the One Declaration.

Check out the website if you're interested, I posted the declaration below.

THE ONE DECLARATION

“WE BELIEVE that in the best American tradition of helping others help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries in a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty. WE RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and directing an additional one percent of the U.S. budget toward meeting basic needs – education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans – would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries. WE COMMIT ourselves - one person, one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for all.”
