Aide to Africa

It’s on record countless times that you want to help AID’s victims in Africa. Your words have been very inspiring, but no offense; I’ll believe it when I see it.
In 2007 the Bush administration budget for AIDs in Africa was almost $4 billion.

Great.

However in 2001, the UN estimated that Africa would need $3 billion for basic treatment and prevention alone. Today, there are more cases, and treatments are more expensive.

I realize it would upset Americans. We are in an economic crisis and have little money to spare, but no one said being president would be easy.

We are currently giving the bare minimum to help retard a disease that kills over 8,000 thousand people a day. In the first 100 days of your presidency I want you to agree to at least double the funding. Preferably by going to Africa to speak to the millions of sufferers, and signing a bill to put the process in order. What’s the point of assuring a bunch of Americans who cannot understand the extent of the plague? By making a promise to the victims, you will be obligated to go through with the proposal.

Let's see your money where your mouth is.
