World AIDS Day letter from William Jefferson Clinton..

[ddeclue]

Dear Douglas,

As we honor the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day this week, 2 million children and young adults under the age of 15 are now living with HIV/AIDS. Hundreds of thousands will die unless we do everything in our power to ensure that they live productive and fulfilling lives with the medicine they require.

The Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative has been responding to the global pandemic since 2002. By the end of this year, in partnership with the international drug purchasing entity UNITAID, we will have helped more than 173,000 kids in 33 countries receive the care and treatment they need to survive.

Here are some results we've helped achieve this year in Zambia:
* Nearly tripled the number of infants tested for HIV.
* Nearly doubled the number of infant HIV testing facilities.
* Increased the number of health care workers able to treat children by more than 20 percent.
With your support, we have accomplished a great deal, but we must continue our efforts to fulfill our promise and give all children all over the world a better tomorrow.

I encourage you to learn more about our HIV/AIDS program today.

Sincerely,

Signature

Bill Clinton

1. Oh yeah, but Bill needs to be muzzled.

Look at all the money he raised from overseas, he will be a hindrance to his wife, etc., etc.

7. No, I was referring to all those who keep complaining

about Bill. The billions he has raised here and abroad have gone to help thousands of people, but if one were to believe the criticism he gets for all his troubles one would think that he kept the money for himself. No other former president in recent history, with the exception of Carter, has done more to help humanity. But that's still not enough for some and they keep trashing Bill on a daily basis. The man is far from perfect, but he's a good human being who could have taken it easy making speeches and playing golf. Instead, he spends a good portion of his time traveling the world and fundraising to aid others. I'm sick of the constant attacks on Bill on this board.
