I received, and responded to, this e-mail from ONE today. I hope you will follow the link and do the same if you haven't already. It took all of 3 minutes.e-mail snippet:Two. Only two questions about global poverty have been asked in the history of modern presidential debates, going back to Kennedy-Nixon in 1960. That’s less than 1% of all questions asked.To change that shockingly low figure, ONE is launching a new campaign to get “Just ONE Question” about the fight against global poverty asked at the 2008 presidential debates.The first debate at the University of Mississippi at Oxford, Mississippi, will focus on foreign policy and is only 10 days away. Take action now by sending the message below to debate moderator Jim Lehrer. Click the link and we’ll send your message to Mr. Lehrer, urging him to ask Just ONE Question on the fight against global poverty.http://www.one.org/debates/o.pl?id=562-3625604-3GfZXsx&t=2At the presidential debate, please ask John McCain and Barack Obama just ONE question about their plans to fight global poverty.my question:In 2001, the World Trade Organization released the Doha Development Agenda stating that "We are committed to addressing the marginalization of least-developed countries in international trade and to improving their effective participation in the multilateral trading system." Senators, free trade does not equal fair trade. How does your policy support the Doha Development Agenda?
Please submit a question of your own. I'm thinking, without a doubt, that this is an area of the debate where Barack will positively shine when compared to his opponent!
Yes We Can.
