What is the ONE Campaign?
| one.org |
The ONE Campaign is an effort by Americans to rally Americans – one by one – to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. ONE is students and ministers, punk rockers and NASCAR moms, Americans of all beliefs and every walk of life, united to help make poverty history.
The ONE Campaign derives its name from the belief that allocating an additional one percent of the U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean water and food would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the world's poorest countries. We also call for debt cancellation, trade reform and anti–corruption measures in a comprehensive package to help Africa and the poorest nations beat AIDS and extreme poverty.
The goal of ending poverty may seem lofty, but it is within our reach if we take action together as one.

Basically, it's a bunch of 'bleeding hearts' who feel that it's a good idea to spend taxpayer money outside of the USA. I am against their campaign. I just can't support the government spending more money.
I want to stamp out poverty as much as the next person, but spending taxpayer money is a horrible way of doing it. It's using the stupid "Robin Hood" principle of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Sure, the rich have more than enough that they should be able to share, but by force? Uhh, I don't think so.
I would be more than happy to donate money to an organization that would help rid of poverty in the world. I'm just not going to support the idea of our government doing it. There is no reason why we can't do it on our own without the help of our government.
What are your opinions?
whoa.
