Do you want to help make this the year that the 100 million children out of school around the world get into a classroom and moving toward a brighter future?

You can do it today: Sign a letter asking President Bush to fully fund the fight against extreme poverty and global AIDS.

Education is a tool that works in the fight against poverty— so effective that America joined over 180 nations in committing to ensure that all children get a chance to go to school. In the next two weeks, President Bush will make critical decisions about our budget and how America will best take action to keep that promise. In America, we know that education is the key to opportunity. Whether it’s a child on a school bus in Des Moines or in a classroom in Ghana, education is an incredible investment that pays off, helping people have longer lives, healthier families and a stable income.

Write the White House today and ask President Bush to keep the promise and give an additional 1% of our budget over the next five years to effective international assistance.

All it takes is one minute to make your voice heard. Together, we can show America's commitment to keeping promises that have the power to transform millions of lives.
