Throughout November 2007, ONE members sent tens of thousands of petitions to the presidential candidates asking them to go on the record with their plans to combat extreme poverty and global disease.

Now we have their replies.

Use this site to watch each of the candidates' personal video responses to ONE members and their 50-word plans on:

  • Reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis;
  • Eradicating malaria;
  • Improving child and maternal health;
  • Achieving universal primary education; and
  • Cutting in half the number of people without clean water or enough food.

Then, use ONE Action's "On The Record" tool to compare up to three candidates' plans and send that comparison to your friends.

COMPARE THE CANDIDATES

You may have noticed that a few candidates haven't sent in all of their materials yet. If you haven't already, sign the petition and urge them to send in their plans.

SIGN THE ON THE RECORD PETITION

By getting every candidate to go on the record, we'll be able to be smart voters as we head to the polls, and no matter whose elected in 2008, we'll be able to hold the next president of the United States accountable to his or her plan.

MORE INFO:

ONE members have been engaging the candidates since the launch of ONE Vote '08 in June. Since then, ONE members have met with the candidates more than 800 times, most often along their campaign stops in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. You can check out many of the interactions on the ONE Blog. (Search by tags for Biden, HillaryClinton, Edwards, Dodd, Giuliani, Huckabee, Hunter, Kucinich, McCain, Obama, Paul, Richardson, Romney, Tancredo and Thompson.)

On each candidates' profiles you can:

  • Watch their personal videos to ONE members;
  • Send an email to each of their campaigns;
  • Send the page to a friend;
  • See their plans;
  • Write comments on the page;
  • See related blog posts and articles

Also, make sure to check out ONE's complete policy plan for each of the issues above (AIDS/TB, malaria, child and material health, primary education, and food and water) so you can compare them to the candidates' submissions.

On The Record's comparison is provided by ONE Action to educate voters about the Presidential candidates' plans on issues of importance to ONE Action's members. Only 501(c)(3) activities are funded by The ONE Campaign.
