ONE Campaign | Keep Our Commitments

Even in tough economic times, we want to make sure the next president, no matter who that is, keeps his commitment to fighting global poverty.
The total spent on all poverty-fighting programs make up less than one percent of the entire U.S. budget, yet we are saving millions of lives and helping the world's poorest people break free from crippling poverty. These efforts will be even more critical as the effects of any global economic slowdown are magnified in already struggling countries.
If you are a U.S. citizen, sign the petition and then send Obama and McCain a message. As of 11.15.08 at 2:25 pm, the campaign had reached 70% of its goal of 50,000 signers! (35,098)
