To the American Public:
We believe that in the best American tradition of helping others help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries in an historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and poverty.
[Your comments: Why is fighting global AIDS and poverty important to you?]
We recognize that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and targeting an additional one percent of the U.S. budget towards providing basic needs - education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans- would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries.
We commit ourselves -- one person, one voice, one vote at a time -- to make a better, safer world for all.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
