S. 2433: Global Poverty Act of 2007
A bill to require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.
Sponsor: Sen. Barack Obama [D-IL]
To cite this information, we recommend the following:
GovTrack.us. S. 2433--110th Congress (2007): Global Poverty Act of 2007, GovTrack.us (database of federal legislation)
Because the government takes a day or two to post legislative information online, GovTrack is usually one legislative day behind.
Please call or email your Senator and urge them to support this bill. Our elected officials need to know that we , the voters, want to do more to help end poverty and starvation all over the world.
Not only do we need to help the less fortunate from a humanitarian point of view, I believe ending poverty and starvation will do as much for our national security as our military can do
