My letter on petiton to my senators (ugh.....McCain/Kyl). Please feel free to C/P it or write one of your own...but PLEASE circulate this petition today!
-------------------


This is a BIPARTISAN act. I urge you to give USAID the SUPPORT it needs to fight HUNGER & POVERTY worldwide.

This bill (S. 1524) needs more support (our wish is that you support it - to push it throught the Senate Foreign Relations Committee!

My family & I would ALSO appreciate you joining us TOMORROW - Tuesday, October 27, at 7 PM (EST) for a live online presentation titled “Living Proof: Why we are Impatient Optimists.” RSVP to watch:

What is most important to, is teaching those to farm and create small enterprises for themselves... it is good to give to, but at the same time make these nations more self sufficent with education, provide boreholes and farming tools to get them started

Thanks to all of you who signed this petition! I know every signature helps, and I appreciate the time you took to make your Senators understand how serious we all are about fighting hunger & poverty.

Hugs to you all! Now think of how you all can personally get involved.

Help others around the world. The US gives a large amount of aid to the world BUT it is proportionally less than many other countries. We must help more. When we help now it helps the future of the planet as the population soars and resources dwindle... A fed population is able to promote education and tackle problems which aid our planet... It all comes back to us helping those who are in need...
