House Passes Global Poverty Act
On September 25, the House of Representatives passed the Global Poverty Act (H.R. 1302) by voice vote. Introduced by Reps. Adam Smith (D-WA) and Spencer Bachus (R-AL), the legislation would require the president to develop and implement a strategy for achieving the Millennium Development Goal of cutting extreme global poverty in half by 2015.



"Passage of the Global Poverty Act in the House is an important step toward making global poverty reduction a stated priority for our nation," said Rev. David Beckmann, President of Bread for the World. "If we're serious about creating a world where everyone can earn a sufficient, sustainable livelihood, we must start with a blueprint."



The Global Poverty Act would:

Require the president to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to cut in half extreme global poverty by 2015.
Include guidelines for what the strategy should include - from aid, trade, and debt relief, to working with the international community, businesses and NGOs.
Require that the president's strategy include specific and measurable goals, efforts to be undertaken, benchmarks and timetables.
Require the president to report back to Congress biannually on progress made in the implementation of the global poverty strategy.
"Getting the Global Poverty Act passed by the Senate and signed into law by the president will be part of Bread for the World's 2008 Offering of Letters campaign," said Beckmann. "We will also push for additional funding for effective programs that help developing countries in Africa and other poor parts of the world. Smart, long-term solutions to global poverty will require both more and better aid."

Nada. Sorry, I just haven't been tuned into CSpan to monitor the critters in Congress much lately... ()

I read about this on Congress.org. I think it's SB81? They say it has backing from LaRaza, Walmart and some others. I will try to find the article and post it.

I would just kindly remind that with our present focus efforts in OR (check), UT, IN that we are concentrating on getting these completed at the moment.

This topic might work into the mix later on, but right now we need to focus on the pressing topics of Utah and Indiana. Since these are state/local level projects (UT and IN) they are tailor-made to work toward our strengths and existing modus operandi.

You are right Phrede. Sorry.

No this is really important as well if you value the 2nd ammendmant...

In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that declaration commits nations to banning “small arms and light weaponsâ€

If they are stupid enough to pass this and then try to enforce this law it could bring opn a civil war because I for one will never give up any of my guns!!
