Meeting up with Rick Santorum in New Hampshire
Yesterday afternoon, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum came to Manchester, New Hampshire — a recently declared City of ONE — and met with the Manchester Rotary Club. ONE member Tom Leary made it out to the event and had a chance to catch up with Sen. Santorum about ONE and efforts to save millions of lives in the poorest nations on earth.
Tom thanked Sen. Santorum for serving on our ONE Vote 2010 advisory committee and told him how Sen. Elect Kelly Ayotte had recorded a video for our more than 10,000 New Hampshire ONE members. Tom went on to thank Sen. Santorum for his own work in the US Senate to help lead America’s response to the global HIV/AIDS crisis and save millions of lives around the world — a champion of the world’s poorest people!
Tom told me that Sen. Santorum thanked him for all of his efforts with ONE, and during his speech to the group, Sen. Santorum talked about “moral leadership” as an example of American “exceptionalism” in the world.
Tomorrow is World AIDS Day, and it is a day when we remember all of the lives who have been infected and affected by the global AIDS crisis — but we also remember and celebrate the millions of lives saved because of science, medicine and great American leadership.
