Life Or Death

The World needs our help. Millions of people have died already and 30,000 more die everyday because no one cared to help them. We have the ability to stop this, so why do we sit there and watch it continue to grow? We act as if it will take care of itself. But the truth is, IT WON'T. We have to change it. US, you and me. God's children are dieing, while we sit here watching it happen. We see it on the news, here it in church, see it online and yet the problem continues to grow because we do not do anything about it. We see and here it all the time how hunger is killing thousands a day and yet five minutes later we can find ourselves throwing away leftover food from dinner. Why? Why do we sit here and watch it happen? We say we care. But have we shown it? It doesn't matter how much we say we care. We have to make it happen. We can talk all we want, but it is not saving lives. We have to actually make a difference, we have to do somthing about it. God's children are dieing and he needs your help to save them. Will you help his children? Or will you go on with your normal everyday life like it's not happening. I have made the decision to help God's children, and i hope you will too.

God does not care about how much we have, he cares about how much we give. Sacrafice. Will you give a little, to save alot?
It's your choice. Life or Death?

God Bless,

Nate

STAND

It's time to take your efforts to the next level. Congress must take immediate steps to end the atrocities in Darfur.
From April 16-27, STAND activists across the country will lobby their elected officials in face-to-face meetings at their district offices. You can personally tell your elected officials that they can help end the genocide in Darfur by:
1) Giving more money to help African Union peacekeepers protect Darfurian citizens.
2) Co-sponsoring and passing S.831, the Sudan Divestment Authorization Act, to protect states, cities, and schools who divest from Sudan.
3) Telling the President to enforce the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act and other key sanctions on those responsible for genocide.
Register for STAND's 2 Weeks of Action today, and tell your elected officials that it's High Time for Higher Grades to end genocide!
— Alexa Malishchak, Advocacy Coordinator, Swarthmore '09

ONE Campaign


Dear ONE Member,
In the first two weeks of April, Congress will be in recess, and a ONE member wants you to join them on a lobbying visit to your local representative's office.
Visits like this are the most effective action you can take to help end extreme poverty. This face-to-face meeting with your member of Congress or member of their staff will clearly communicate that you want America to keep its commitment to those living in the world's poorest countries.
Join other ONE members in your area for a planning meeting and lobbying visit.
Before the meeting with congressional members or staff, you'll get a chance to talk with other ONE members at a planning meeting this Saturday. To help kick-off the meeting, we will be doing two legislative grassroots conference calls with Susan McCue, ONE Campaign CEO, and Tom Hart, DATA Legislative Director on Saturday. The first will be at 11 a.m. EST Saturday, March 31, with Susan McCue. The second at 4 p.m. EST Saturday, March 31, with Tom Hart. It's an opportunity to discuss the issues and prepare for the visit.
Each individual lobbying meeting has a real and lasting impact, but our true power stems from the fact that ONE members will be meeting with every member of Congress and delivering the exact same message of hope for the world's poorest people.
Learn more and sign up to participate in a lobbying visit.
Thank you,
Vicky Rateau, ONE.org

Victory


Dear ONE Members,
Last week you scored a major victory on behalf of the world's poorest people.
After ONE members placed thousands of calls to Senate offices last week, the Senate unanimously passed the Dodd-Smith amendment restoring $2.2 billion of poverty-fighting funding to the international affairs budget.
Congratulations on this incredible victory. Please take a moment to thank your senators.
By restoring this money, the Senate matched the president's international affairs budget request which represents a $3.7 billion increase over 2007 levels. This is just the first step in what could be the greatest increase to the international affairs budget in recent history. We still need the House and Senate to agree on a final budget and only then will the appropriations process begin, but this is a critical first step.
The success of this amendment comes on top of a string of great victories for ONE in recent months.
In the closing minutes of the 109th Congress in December, after hundreds of thousands of letters and phone calls, we renewed a special trade benefit within the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which saved hundreds of thousands of African apparel jobs.
Then in January, again by e-mailing, faxing, and calling your members of Congress in both the House and Senate, you were able to not only protect $1 billion in poverty-focused development assistance that was at risk, but Congress actually increased the funding to $1.45 billion.
Please take a moment to thank your senator for supporting this amendment to fight extreme poverty and global AIDS.
This string of successes is no accident. Your dedication and hard work has made all of this possible.
Thank you for your time. Thank you for your energy. And most of all thank you for uniting as ONE to become a powerful anti-poverty advocacy force. We are saving lives, changing the American political scene, and changing the world.
Thanks,
Susan McCue, ONE.org
