From www.one.org --- a message.
Hey guys, do this (if not for me, then for the little kids dying of AIDS all around the world)... I'd appreciate it so much. If no one picks up, just leave a message. Thanks and love, Blair.
When you call 1-800-786-2ONE (1-800-786-2663), you will be asked to enter your zip code - this is so you can be routed directly to the correct Senator's office in Washington, DC.
You will then be asked to press either 1 or 2 to be connected to either of your state's two Senators. You will then be connected to your US Senator's receptionist desk.
The next voice you will hear will be a staff member in your Senator's office.
Remember to tell them:
I am a constituent of YOUR TOWN in YOUR STATE . Be specific!
You're calling with the ONE campaign.
You're calling to ask your Senator to support the Santorum-Durbin Amendment for global AIDS funding.
HERE ARE SOME KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER:
• This amendment is important because it will bring total U.S. funding for an important program called the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to $600 million-- a one-third share of what's needed to keep existing programs on the ground running.
• The fund might have a long name, but what it does is simple: it saves lives. Without this amendment, this vital initiative may have to cut programs that have already begun to have a real impact, delivering prevention, care and treatment to millions of people around the world.
• Your Senator's vote can make sure this doesn't happen, and that these programs continue to help the world's poorest people.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria is an efficient, accountable, results-oriented international effort to prevent and treat these three killer diseases. It is a streamlined, independent; public-private partnership created to mobilize new resources, and is independent from the UN and other international bodies.
Development assistance reflects the best American tradition of compassion and generosity. Americans have an opportunity to lead the world in saving millions of lives and restoring stability in the poorest countries in the world.
