The Senate is considering a $4 billion cut from the president's 2009 international affairs budget, which provides most of the poverty-fighting funding in the U.S. budget. This would be a devastating cut to the millions of people working their way out of extreme poverty with America's help.
ONE, a non-profit that seeks to fight global poverty, is seeking online signatures for a petition to encourage Congress to restore the funds that have been cut in the drafting of the bill.
