This Email is Not For You

The ONE Campaign


It's for your friend.

So far this week more than 74,329 Americans have joined the fight
against extreme poverty making us the fastest growing movement
in America. Let's keep it that way.

To truly eradicate extreme poverty once and for all we need a
strong and sizable block of Americans working to make poverty a
priority. To this end, I am issuing a challenge to all members: get at least
ONE friend to sign up and join ONE and help end poverty. Let's add
25,000 more members by Wednesday, making it 100,000 new
members in one week. Forward this email to at least ONE friend
and ask them to go to www.ONE.org and sign up.

To keep track of our progress we will replace the standard counter on the
front of ONE.org with a counter showing the number of new members.
You can help raise this number by forwarding this e-mail to a friend and
sending them to ONE.org where they can sign the ONE Declaration and
start
using their voice to end poverty.

Thanks to Idol Gives Back, over 30 million people learned about
the ONE Campaign on Wednesday. One by one we're growing, and
making a difference, whether it is successfully pushing for billions of
dollars of poverty fighting funding, or crucial trade reforms, we are
winning.

Keep up the amazing work.

Thank you,

Susan McCue, ONE.org


P.S. I have already answered my own challenge by calling my friend
Harlan Coben,
New York Times bestselling author of The Woods, and
explained how he can make a
difference in the fight against poverty.
Now he and his family are members of ONE.

Dear Fred,

Tonight and tomorrow, one in ten Americans will sit down in their
living rooms and tune-in to American Idol for a special episode
called "Idol Gives Back."

We are excited to announce that Bono will be making
an appearance Wednesday night on behalf of ONE
urging the millions of Americans watching the show to
join us in the fight against extreme poverty.
Bono will
meet with the Idol contestants to talk with them about
ONE and the difference your advocacy is making in the lives
of the world's poorest people. The Idol contestants will also
perform "American Prayer," a song written by Bono and
Dave Stewart about the AIDS emergency in Africa.

We need your help to make sure your friends and family are
watching. Spread the word about tonight and tomorrow's shows!
This is a great way to introduce friends and family to ONE.
Invite them to join you in the fight against extreme poverty.

Forward this e-mail to friends and family and ask them to join today
by visiting: www.ONE.org

Wednesday night's show will be a two-hour special hosted by Ellen
and featuring appearances by Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani,
Earth, Wind & Fire, Il Divo, Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Josh Groban
with the African Children's Choir, Jack Black, Helen Mirren, Rascal Flatts,
Quincy Jones, Carrie Underwood, Annie Lennox and many more.

We are excited about what the next two days could mean for the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty. Because of your continued support and involvement, extreme poverty is getting the national attention it so badly needs. When millions of people come together as ONE voice, anything is possible.

Thank you for your energy and dedication,

Susan McCue, ONE.org
