Yesterday, ONE Vote ‘08 held our kick-off conference call with Senators Frist and Daschle, Ben Affleck and our CEO Susan McCue. With 9,558 ONE members joining, it was the largest conference call of it’s kind, ever.

We posted the audio of the call the ONEcast.

    I am very proud to have been a part of a nationwide initiative to make poverty history. I am very excited to work with the ONE organization on this very important issue. This is the first time I will have the opportunity to vote and make a difference as I recently became an American Citizen. I plan to make the most of it. If we all remember and remind those around us that one person can make a difference, we can truly change the world.

    i’m on my way home from the lobbying days in DC and am looking to hearing this again . . . i’m on borrowed computers for this trip. my ONE Vote ‘08 pin has generated a lot of interest and questions on the trip, elevators seemed to be the most common place for inquisitions. i had to learn the quick definition fast, as often all we would have is one floor to communicate the campaign.

    i’m looking forward to getting home to seattle and getting busy. thanx for an awesome kickoff and the opportunity to see many of you face to face.

    stay close,

    sammi in seattle =)
