Hooking up with Giuliani in Hookset, NH
Last week, Mayor Rudy Giuliani came to Robie’s famous country store in Hooksett, NH, where every candidate running for president has stopped for decades.
I was able to talk with the mayor about ONE and the ability for the poorest people in the world to “trade their way” out of poverty. The mayor was very receptive to this idea and told me that he believes that is one of the best ways to overcome poverty. I told him that is why it is very important to reform the farm bill and US cotton subsidies that distort and devastate the agricultural industry in Africa.
I gave the mayor a ONE band which he accepted. On his way out the door, Marine Michael and his sons were there for the good “photo-op”. Mayor Giuliani told them that they all looked good in their ONE shirts and that ONE was a great organization!”
