The One Campaign

April 12th, 2005 — 11:31am

I saw an ad for the One Campaign on television the other night. It intrigued me because along with all these huge name movie stars like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Tom Hanks; Pat Robertson endorses it as well. I couldn’t believe someone so ultra conservative would be endorsing something that all these big time Hollywood stars were. I had to check it out.

The One Campaign

From the website, “The ONE Campaign seeks to give Americans a voice, to ring church bells and cell phones, on campuses and in coffee shops, for a historic pact to fight the global AIDS emergency and end extreme poverty. We believe that allocating an additional ONE percent of the U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean water and food, would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation of the poorest countries.”

They’re not asking for your money, just your signature in support. I think it’s a campaign worthy of checking out. You can also view the television commercial from the website.
