SAVE THE HUMANS

"Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number - Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you - Ye are many - they are few." percy bysshe shelley At the moment aids is a tragic emergency along with darfur, malaria, tuberculosis...The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria is currently evaluating its grant portfolios, and it appears that despite receiving the smallest share of Global Fund resources, TB interventions are saving more lives than any other Global Fund investment. And this doesn't even capture the bigger picture — the many families who were not pushed over the brink into severe poverty thanks to TB treatment. What's next, maybe something worse There will always be an emergency As long as we ignore the root of the problem We could be hacking away at the branches forever until we deal with the root The Root Is Extreme Poverty America "We The People" should embrace our humanity against extreme poverty 15,000,000 million people die of poverty related causes every year Deaths from the war in Iraq; 750 / year (actually 600 / year (from http://icasualties.org/oif/stats.aspx) in combat, the rest in accidents etc.) 2 billion dollars a day spent on a senseless war 18,000 thousand children die every day from starvation Thirteen cities in the United States still have people living in extreme poverty SAVE THE HUMANS YOU CAN DO SOMETHING If "We the People" join together we can acheive great things! Our nation, our government just needs to be reminded of; "WHAT MATTERS MOST" The reality is it won't happen without the United States on board Without the United States help, who knows maybe the next coming plague born in an extremely impoverished region will be the one that leaves us to weak to hack away at. Dear Mr. President we are here to remind you of what matters most JOIN US! http://endpoverty.meetup.com/40/
