Encourage President-Elect Obama to Make Child Survival a Higher Priority
Target: President-Elect
Sponsored by: Save the Children
Sponsored by: Save the Children
Every day, millions of families celebrate life's most fundamental bond between mother and child. And yet for too many families in poor countries, the joy of parenthood is cut short by anguish. Every year, over nine million families worldwide will lose a young child.
The significant commitment of the United States to children's health in the developing world contributed to a 50 percent reduction in child mortality between 1960 and 1990. And yet we've allowed funding for global maternal and child health programs to decline by 20 percent in the last 10 years.
Give these children a stronger chance to live by urging President-Elect Obama to do more to help these babies survive by increasing prioritization and support for maternal, newborn and child health programs.

We need to help all the mothers, babies stay as healthy as we can. Especially our poorer countries.

More should be done to save the lives of newborns. Family planning (including effective birth control) also needs to be a top priority.

The U.S. is one of the richest countries in the world. Death from treatable diseases should not even be something that could happen in our country.

Dear Mr. President-elect, A largely invisible tragedy is happening now, over nine million children die yearly from preventable or treatable diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia, and measles. Nearly four million of these deaths occur to newborns less than one month old. That is why I strongly urge you to prioritize maternal, newborn and child health programs which would strengthen American's role in saving the lives of children and mothers in the world's poorest countries by investing in low-cost, highly effective, lifesaving interventions such as vitamins, antibiotics and vaccines

Yes, and one important thing this bill should include is that it protects citizens only. We can't keep paying for those people who enter this country illegally and expect to receive free services. This continues to encourage illegal immigration from all over the world and then the U.S. citizens continue to pay taxes for those families who don't contribute to the system. Please make families who are citizens a priority. Thank you.
