So, it's been out and around for a while now, so, I'm asking, would you join the One Campaign? For those of you who don't know, ONE is an orginazation trying to fight the extreme poverty and AIDS in worldwide, though most focuses are in Africa.

Quote from their website...

"WE BELIEVE that in the best American tradition of helping others help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries in a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty.

WE RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and directing additional resources for basic needs - education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans - would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries, at a cost equal to just one percent more of the US budget.

WE COMMIT ourselves - one person, one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for all."

What're your takes on this group of millions?

I am already a member of both the local and national ONE organizations and participate in both levels of activities.

A great organization if you have the time.

If you don't know, ONE came from the same group that organized Live Aid, Live 8, and the global protest for the post G8.

I try to support all organisations towards stoping poverty and AIDs. But I can't help but sometimes think well AID's is something we may have to live with. But poverty isn't. And there's so much money in the world. That there's more than enough for everyone in Microsoft's pockets and America's. Instead of lets donate 2billion or w.e to china and japan for nothing.

Good thread. Stickied.
