The One Campaign
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.
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.

I love your website! It’s comforting to hear someone else going through similar stuff with kids, husband, etc. We were at the U2 concert a week ago and Bono asked everyone to commit their signature for the ONE campaign – I think it’s awesome. Anyway, that’s my 2 cents.

That is so amazing…. Brian and I saw the ad just the other night and thought the same thing (about Hollywood and Conservatives endorsing the same thing). I will have to go and check into it a little more. Thanks for looking into it and sharing the info!
