3 For 1: An Investment That Pays Real Dividends!




On December 16th I posted EngenderHealth’s first video in series of five to advocate for improved global reproductive health policy under the Obama administration. Don't miss video #2 just released and posted below that poses the provocative question, "If you had $1 billion to change the world, what would you spend it on: easing world hunger, reducing global instability, or preserving natural resources?"

Their answer is that you don't have to choose: Spend $1 billion on family planning and we can make a difference in all of these areas. The cost? Less than 1/20th of 1% of the proposed federal budget (.03%) -- less than a penny per day per American. EngenderHealth has set up a site where you can tell Obama that international family planning is a priority for you and it should be one for him, too.
