[PAA-Discuss] Bono's Speech

[Juli3 at aol.com]

Dear ONE Member, 
(http://www.one.org/keepourcommitments/?id=635-2264236-CPmohsx&t=1)   
I want to share a video with you from an amazing speech I heard  last night. 
It was given by one of our founders, Bono. He spoke at  the 2008 California 
Women’s Conference, an event bringing together  thousands of women who are 
inspiring and empowering others through  their work, lives and stories.

If you’re as inspired by Bono’s message as I am, I hope you’ll  add your 
name to the same petition he asked everyone at the  Women’s Conference to 
support. It’s a petition 53,000 other ONE  members have already signed, calling on 
John McCain and Barack  Obama to keep their commitments to fight global poverty 
even  during these difficult economic times.

In just the last week, people from across the political  spectrum, from Colin 
Powell to President Bush to Robert Rubin,  have come forward to stress the 
importance of international  development in our foreign policy. America’s 
leadership against  extreme poverty is more important than ever. As Bono said last  
night: “When America looks outside of itself, its view of  itself is never 
clearer. Its faith in itself is never firmer. Its  purpose is never stronger. 
Today, at a time when America, again,  is tempted to turn inward, turn away from 
the world and its  troubles, it is more essential than ever that you look  
outward.” 
We’re still looking outward because we know America can and  must lead the 
fight to end global poverty. 
Thank you for making a difference, 
David Lane, ONE.org
