ONE more vote . . .
So today we get to vote . . . Anyone interested in the fight to stop global poverty can sign ONE more ballot by putting your name on the ONE voter pledge at www.one.org.
Here’s the email from Josh Peck for those who are interested . . .
——————————
Tomorrow, as American citizens, we will vote. But as ONE members, we can do even more. We’ll show our elected leaders — whoever they turn out to be — that we’re a large, organized group of voters who put our commitment to global poverty above party lines — and we ask them to do the same.
Before the Congressional leadership meets to set the priorities for the new Congress, you can make sure they know global poverty is a top priority when you cast your ballot. Please sign the ONE Voter pledge, to show you’re going to vote with the fight against global poverty at the top of your agenda. And tell the next Congress that you’re sending them to Washington to lead that fight.
We’ll deliver your signatures and comments to the leadership of the new Congress.
On Election Day, like every other day, there will be over 1 billion people around the world living on less than $1 a day. But unlike every other day, ONE voters can begin a chain reaction that will create hope and opportunity for the world’s poorest people. 2006 is the first year we’ve been able to cast our votes together as members of the ONE community. This is an historic opportunity.
Voting is just the start; together we can show our leaders that a grassroots force is emerging they should not ignore. Republicans and Democrats alike will sign the ONE Voter pledge side-by-side, because our commitment to ending extreme poverty cuts across partisan divides. And together, we will send a powerful message to leaders of the new Congress that we want them to make the fight against global poverty a top priority.
Sign the ONE Voter pledge and we’ll deliver your signatures and comments to the leadership of the new Congress.
Thanks,
Josh Peck, ONE.org
