Did you hear about the hunger crisis?


The world hunger crisis is all over the news this week. In just three years, the price of staple foods like wheat, corn and rice has almost doubled. If we don't do something soon, hundreds of thousands of people face starvation and a hundred million more could fall into extreme poverty.I just took action with the ONE Campaign and you can too,by clicking here: http://www.one.org/hungercrisis?rc=hctaf

All that is required of you is your name and email address to serve as a signature on the petition that ONE members are sending to President Bush. Your signature will definitely add pressure on the president to take action on this issue during this summer's G-8 summit. These impoverished nations need support, they need empowerment through investment in agriculture in their countries.

Just your name and email address will make a difference. I am a member of this wonderful organization and I have signed several other petitions that have helped in the fight to make poverty history.
