“I think celebrities have an obligation to the public to not just sing or act.”

This quote by Clay Aiken was shown to be true today when Clay posted a blog in support of UNICEF and ONE.

According to their website, ONE is a grassroots campaign and advocacy organization backed by more than 2 million people from around the world and every walk of life. They are committed to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa.

ONE believes the fight against poverty is not about charity, but about justice and equality. They are a part of a greater movement of people and organizations working to end poverty throughout the world.

Clay Aiken reported in his blog that he is asking President Barack  Obama to support One and is asking us all to sign a petition to the president.
