The ONE Campaign has designated itself to being "the campaign to make poverty history".
Through the sales of wristbands, concerts and signing of "declarations" there are people urging President Bush to help overcome the emergency of AIDS and to fight extreme poverty and to cancel 100% of the debts owed by the poorest countries in the world.

By Malcolm L. Wiseman, Jr.
Here we are [having celebrated] another Memorial Day in Washington DC. As
a DC native and Vietnam War veteran it [was] my 60th such observance.
For me instead of hallowed it is a hallowed occasion [sic], one that evokes
more grief for the poor and disenfranchised living DC residents than
for its war dead and wounded. This is because this nation and its
Congress and President do not treat us with the respect and grace of
countrymen, even after we return victorious from their wars.

 25 July 2005 – The United Nations Envoy on HIV/AIDS in Africa has questioned the results of the recent G8 Summit when it came to addressing the AIDS pandemic and he has called for the creation of an international women’s agency.
“First, I would argue that the G8 Summit was not a breakthrough; it was in fact a disappointment. I would argue that we got caught up in music, and the spectacle, and the spin and the celebrities, and we applauded before applause was justified,” UN Envoy Stephen Lewis, said at the opening of the 3rd International AIDS Society Conference in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.
