THESE ARE THE GOOD GUYS
THESE ARE THE GOOD GUYS - The Regional Social Marketing Programme for HIV/AIDS Prevention, which is being organised by Population Services International (PSI), has been funded with $1.6 million from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and $943 000 from the PANCAP Global Fund Initiative.
• Condom Use: Population Services International - PSI targets risk groups such as commercial sex workers and their clients, migrant workers, truckers and intravenous drug users. The social marketing of male condoms has been found to be the most cost-effective of the six HIV/AIDS prevention strategies studied, averting an HIV infection at a cost of $10.
In Cambodia, HIV prevalence has dropped among the general population and among key high risk groups at the same time that condom use has been rising.

ENDING POVERTY
That BuSh is a REAL NUT CASE.
He shouldn't be in the White House, he should be in a HOME.
His latest project is to END POVERTY.
There is NO way to end poverty, without BIRTH CONTROL,
and that INCLUDES CONDOM EDUCATION.
But, he won't even talk about CONDOMS.
The Catholic Church's stand AGAINST BC is RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE POVERTY IN THE WORLD.
It is to the advantage of the Rich, to have a LARGER and LARGER work force, it makes for CHEAP LABOR.
2. Minimum/Living Wage = A wage that will, at least provide housing and food.
BuSh is against THAT too.

More Phony Baloney
<b> Promises. Promises.
Things I NEVER hear -
1. Did you happen to catch how BuSh plans to pay for ALL he Promised.
He is running up a HUGH bill.
2. Greedy Gouging Oil Companies talking about paying their share.
NO. They want a Tax Break.
3. Bragging Conservatives wanting to pay Their Share.
They will weasel out of it, by passing it on to OUR KIDS. </b>

Big Oil & BuSh
Before his speech in NOrleans BuSh stopped off in MS to see his Big Oil Buddies at Chevron.
Wonder if he asked them to reduce their RECORD PROFITS. Probably not.
