"The Obama Administration had pledged $4 billion during 2011-13 to the Global Fund(The Global Fund keeps alive 3.2 million people on anti-retroviral treatment. It has financed 8.2 million courses of TB treatment and the distribution of 190 million insecticide-treated nets.The Global Fund money has reached millions of people in need. When its programs have been hit by corruption, audits have paused the funding and reoriented the programs. The result of this practical approach is great success in many of the world's poorest places. Malaria has come down sharply, averting an estimated 400,000 deaths per year in Africa compared to the baseline path as of the year 2000 ), or $1.33 billion per year. Now it is reneging on this pledge. For a government that spends $1.9 billion every single day on the military ($700 billion each year), Washington's unwillingness to follow through on $1.33 billion for a whole year to save millions of lives is a new depth of cynicism and recklessness." (excerpted from article by J. Sachs in Huffington Post.
It's ok; we know Obama cares, because he said he did 3 years ago.
> in any serious fashion I'd say that that's a long time off, we'll reasonably disallow camping on effin' city streets! That really isn't a very extreme law, and to suggest that it supresses the right to expressive peaceful assembly is a very rotten and stinky red herring.
Yea, people should just assemble in their living rooms or in front of their TVs and call for redress of grievance by watching really cool ,cutting edge TV shows and showing up every 2 years to vote for democrats. The only reason any of that stuff is in the constitution is because those guys were a bunch of crazy, dangerous revolutionaries who didn't know about traffic problems, and facebook.
