Richardson's Plan

ONE Vote '08 did not receive a written response from this candidate. The statements below have been drawn from the public record.
Sign the petition urging him to send his plan.
On reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis:

"To resolve the HIV/AIDS crisis in the developing world, we need a multi-faceted approach. First, we must fund prevention, treatment, and care worldwide. Second, we must reduce the number of people living with AIDS who die from a tuberculosis infection. Third, to allow impoverished nations to implement specific AIDS programs, I will urge the International Monetary Fund to cancel 100% of the debt that they owe. Most importantly, we must protect the rights of women and children to reduce the risk that they will become infected."

ONE's Plan


On achieving universal primary education:

"We need to focus also on education in developing nations. 115 million of the worlds children -- 60% of them girls -- do not receive any schooling. In too many countries, a virtual apartheid exists, where women are frozen out of the workforce and civic life. Unleashing the economic power of women through education can be the silver bullet that makes every problem easier to fight."
