Then this post is for you!
Earlier this week, I received an email from ONE urging me and all of you with a Texas residency to contact Sen. John Cornyn regarding his very important position on the Senate's Budget Committee which will be making the funding levels for assistance programs for the world's poorest people.
This process is happening right now and, as the ONE email says, it is IMPERATIVE that we contact Sen. Cornyn ASAP and if, possible, continue to contact him several times over the next few weeks regarding our desire to see FULL FUNDING LEVELS for programs to fight global poverty and AIDS.
I don't normally post much about ONE anymore here because I assume by now that y'all have signed the petition and hopefully support Bono's work on this issue.
But this is different - this time we right here in Texas have the chance to truly impact how much our government will put into programs to fight extreme poverty and AIDS in our world.
So I ask for your help and just a few minutes of your time over the next few weeks.
PLEASE SIGN THE EMAIL FOR SEN. CORNYN and then CONTINUE TO CONTACT HIS OFFICE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS until the final budget numbers for the next fiscal budget (2007) are arrived at.
Here is Sen. Cornyn's website for further info on how to contact him:

Thanks everyONE for your time. I hope that all of us will take the few minutes a week
to contact Sen. Cornyn to ensure FULL FUNDING LEVELS FOR EXTREME POVERTY AND GLOBAL AIDS PROGRAMS ARE KEPT INTACT.
We all know that there are many other areas in our country's budget where a trimming of a few billion dollars won't make a sizeable difference.
But the trimming of any amount of money from these programs will mean the difference of whether or not people live or die.
Let's do this because it's the right thing to do. But we all know how pleased Bono would be to know that he can count on his fans/followers here in Texas to help out when they can to stop extreme poverty and AIDS in our world.
Blessings - not just for those who kneel.

Dear Debbie:
For the next 3 weeks, Texas has an important opportunity to help fight global AIDS and poverty.
Right now your Senator, John Cornyn, is one of the most important people in Washington. As a Senator on the Budget Committee, he will help decide how much life-saving assistance the U.S. will give to the world’s poorest countries—and he needs to hear from YOU!
Let’s keep up the positive pressure: Please email Senator Cornyn today!
He will lead the Congress in making choices now about how America will fight global AIDS and extreme poverty. Every email counts—it means our leaders know that we believe doing even more is in America’s interests and it’s the right thing to do.
Because of your efforts, America made promises in 2005 to fight AIDS and extreme poverty. Today, hundreds of thousands of people around the world are alive because of America’s historic commitment to fight AIDS. Thank you!
By working together as ONE, we can do even more.
Thank you,
The ONE Team
