ONE.org

Every 3 seconds, someone dies of AIDS. How could you have not seen one of the many advertisements for ONE.org.

ONE is an organization, a community, trying to fight the war of extreme poverty and AIDs around the world. It's to get people to raise their voice, and help out. Some activities include petitions, and calling senators to influence them on passing certain bills to help end poverty, especially in third world countries like Africa.

I decided to share this site, in case you haven't heard of it already, because of the recent Idol Gives Back television event. Not only can you donate money, but you can give your voice. They urge you to join and speak out for these global issues. You don't even have to register, you can submit your e-mail to sign up for their newsletter to keep you informed.

Right now, because of the Idol Gives Back event, their goal is to get 100,000 new voices by the end of this week, by Wednesday. Visit www.ONE.org for more information.

Here is one of their commercials, it's straight and to the point.
