ONE.org

I don't know if you all have heard of this, but I've looked at it and it is a good organization. Its goal is to help rid the world of AIDS, extreme poverty and starvation. Many countries are involved in achieving these global goals. These things may not affect you in your everyday life, but they do affect people over the entire world; regardless of social standing, economic status, health, race, sex, religion or politics. They affect you in ways you may not even realize. To eradicate these issues, it will take all of our voices. Please spread the word; knowledge is power.

Did you know that:

* Every day 6,500 people in Africa die from HIV/AIDS?

* More than 300 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa live on less than one dollar a day?

I thought you would be interested to learn more about what's going on to stop these crises at The ONE Campaign. Americans from all over are lending their voices to this campaign and helping to fight global AIDS and poverty--one person and one vote at a time.

Please visit ONE.org website and learn how you too can get involved by signing the petition.
