Student activists plus Obama equals $50B pledge at Luther College in Iowa!

Here's the word from awesome SGACer Steph in Iowa: Just got out of Obama Rally at Luther. He spoke about health insurance and just mentioned how he would work with people to fight many many things including HIV AIDS. Then asked only 3 students for questions. I was the lucky third person. And i was very overwhelmed.. thank him for coming to luther and here was what I said: (i had this all written on a piece of paper of course:P) There are 40 million people infected with HIV/AIDS worldwide. As you know, the Global Fund is the most effective funding mechanisms available that address world health issues in more than 127 countries. As a prominent global leader in the fight against AIDS, what is your commitment towards the Global Fund? He said that he is committed to giving $50billion dollars to the Global Fund. He wants to double the Foreign AIDS policy to 2% of the federal budget(instead of the current at 1%) and he went on the list of what he would do under foreign policy. ;) This is my first time asking in a big crowd so it was a little intimidating. :P and we didn't have like SGACers rallied up to do anything for it, because we weren't allowed to bring banners and we didn't have time to coordinate stuff. but, i did get a pen, and wrote 'Fight AIDS' on his Obama Card and stood right where the press could see me everytime i held the card up. ;) Steph
