From Bono (described in my Sojourner's email as a "rock star and anti-poverty activist"):
It's extraordinary to me that the United States can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G8 can't find $25 billion dollars to saved 25,000 children who die every day from preventable diseases.
Thanks Sojourners. That is extraordinary.
Speechless. Wow.
