Sherry, I'm sure Bono appreciates everything you and all of us have done.
Someday I'd like to tell him about this. And maybe get a smooch.
LOL. Summer Rain, welcome to Cloud Bono and I'll add you! If you should be added and you are not yet, don't be shy about letting me know.
Yes, MVD, that's exactly right! I want this to become a grass roots movement among U2 fans (the ones who agree, anyway, being a fan doesn't necessarily mean you agree with all Bono does). I don't have access to the White House or the UN. But I do have access to my friends (online and otherwise) and family. If we all start where we're at....
If you haven't sent your letter yet and want to, here mine is again for your cutting and pasting ease.

United States Treasury Secretary

Dear Secretary O?Neill:
I am writing to express my congratulations and gratitude for the time you recently took to travel through rural Africa to learn more about what can be done to help. Your focus on providing clean water, for example, impressed me. I was excited to hear you describe that task as ?possible? and then express that it would be ?unforgivable? that 40 million Ethiopians go without it! I could not agree more!
As a citizen of a powerful and prosperous country, I believe it is crucial to do all I can do to help. It?s my hope that our aid to the world?s poorest nations will be increased, that their debt will be dropped and that trade laws will change to ensure a fair market.
Again, congratulations and welcome home! I wish you the best of luck as you continue the fight!
Sincerely,
Further info about the Angels, and the website itself, is in my sig. Cut and paste the link if it doesn't work. Thanks for the inquires
