The ONE Campaign

We are not asking for your MONEY. WE are asking for your VOICE

♪♪ ...a new effort...to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. Each ONE of us can make a difference. Together as ONE we can change the world.

♪♪ Goals

♪♪ “WE COMMIT ourselves - one person, one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for all.”

♪♪ Why ONE (percent)?

♪♪ Promo-video

♪♪ "One by one..,we can beat...starvation...extreme poverty...AIDS...by working together......We are not asking for your money. We are asking for your voice."

This thoughtful (and thought-provoking) campaign was on Comedy Central Sunday afternoon. Apparently this campaign has been out for a while, and they are asking for us citizens to sign a declaration of support. A declaration of support for a ONE percent increase in allocation of government funds to fight global poverty and AIDS. See Why One link above. If its successful in atleast getting the public to realize the spectre of global AIDS and poverty, this campaign would be a huge success. Hopefully it gets the Hill to provide that extra one percent to fight poverty.
