One works

For those of you who follow One.org and the action that they help facilitate, and for those who don't, we're making a difference. Here's an update from Ginny on critical funding for poverty relief.

----------------------------------------------------------

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives just voted 286-140 to pass the 2007 continuing resolution!!

If the bill also passes in the Senate before Feb. 14 then instead of AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and refugee programs receiving no increases from 2006 to 2007, they will receive an increase of $1.45 billion. The difference will add up to hundreds of thousands of lives.

Thank you to those in the House who voted to fully fund the programs that are working to end extreme poverty. We'll post their names here shortly.
