And then make it happen!

We did it. We can do more. We will do more.

Most of my friends work in politics, so we're pretty used to a healthy debate. And some of my friends are even professional fundraisers. I'm not.

A few months ago my friend Randy J. Hunt showed me some art he created to illustrate the barriers to safe, clean drinking water. For many, there are many.

But not for me.

Then I found this website, which immediately drew me back to Randy's art. It was then when I realized that we all hold a key to clean water.

I'm not asking you for money you don't have. I don't want it. I'm just asking you to consider the barriers you face when debating whether or not you will donate $20 to someone you'll never meet.

You're probably thinking that now I'll tell you there are more than a billion people living without water, which there are, and that will guarantee your donation.

But I'm not. Because I just know you.

And I know that you can help one other person.

Thanks,
