ONE Goes for the Full Nelson

Yesterday, a couple ONE members and I met with a top aide at Senator Ben Nelson’s office in Omaha. We had a very good meeting.; the Senator’s staff was really receptive to us. We all sat down together and talked for a good 20 minutes. We presented him with information on ONE and answered any questions that he had. He was very impressed by the number of ONE members in our state, and we plan to meet with Senator Nelson when he returns to Omaha. Myself and the other ONE members had a good time and enjoyed the opportunity to play a role in the ONE organization and its fight against global poverty.
