"WE
BELIEVE that in the best American tradition of helping others help themselves,
now is the time to join with other countries in a historic pact for compassion
and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme
poverty. WE RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt
relief, fighting corruption and directing additional resources for basic needs
- education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans - would transform
the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries, at a cost
equal to just one percent more of the US budget. WE COMMIT ourselves - one person,
one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for all."

"One
of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing that we as individuals can make
a difference. Ending hunger in America is a goal that is literally within our
grasp."
