Poverty has been forgotten again.

Since John Edwards dropped out in January of this year, the war on poverty has slowly disappeared from the political radar, how come?. I believe the reason for that is because of the John Edwards affair, but in my mind that is sorry as hell for people to stop fighting the war on poverty just because of one person’s mistake. I mean I know I have not posted in a while, but I have not stopped fighting the war on poverty. The American people asked for change, now it’s time to start that process, come on America let’s do this.

Sorry for being gone so long.

Hey Everyone,

I am sorry for being gone for so long, but guess what I am back now!

Thanks,

Jason

Message from the Half in Ten Campaign

Kicking Off the Summer

Dear Jason,

Since the launch of Half in Ten, the support we’ve been hearing from you and from organizations around the country has been incredible, making one thing clear: with your help, we will reach our goal.

Last month in North Philadelphia, we saw what it looks like for a community to come together against poverty. Community leaders, elected officials and the Half in Ten leadership provided powerful stories and evidence about why reducing poverty by fifty percent is not only possible, but also the right thing to do. Watch them now at our new video page.

And we didn’t stop at just talking! Half in Ten has won campaigns in several states to protect homeowners from foreclosure, and is lobbying legislators to override vetoed minimum wage increases in Connecticut and Minnesota.

On the federal level, we’re supporting bills that will extend unemployment insurance for workers who have run out of their benefits but still cannot find a job. Right now, we’re gearing up to tell the Senate that no child should be too poor for the Child Tax Credit. If we all work together, millions of poor children will be better off and we will make important gains towards our poverty reduction goal.

We have big plans for this summer and beyond, and we can’t do it without you! So, tell your friends about Half in Ten, and keep an eye out for the very latest.

Thanks again for your support!

The Half in Ten Team
