Dear Friends:
In 2005, we saw how American commitment to the fight against global AIDS and extreme poverty can change the world. Because of you, the U.S. made historic promises at the July G8 summit, agreeing to cancel crushing debts, double aid to Africa and even provide access to AIDS drugs for all who need them. 2006 is all about keeping our promises so these solutions become a reality for those most in need. If kept, we could save over 4.5 million lives a year by 2010-all we need is your voice.
Sign a letter today and ask President Bush to keep the promise and fully fund the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty.
In the next three weeks, the President will make crucial decisions about next year’s budget, including how America will best use our resources to help educate, feed and treat those most in need. As ONE, we’re asking that the U.S. give an additional 1% of our budget over the next five years so we can keep our life-saving promises to fight AIDS and poverty.
What could just one more penny of every dollar do? By giving an additional 1%, the U.S. would be able to help prevent 10 million children from becoming AIDS orphans and send 100 million children to grade school.
Sign the ONE budget request to President Bush today and let him know that America is serious about making the G8 commitments a reality for the world’s poorest people
Thank you,
The ONE Team
