Boston, MA – Today, Governor Mitt Romney issued the following statement on World AIDS Day:
"On World AIDS Day, we are reminded of the importance of America's commitment to fighting one of mankind's most deadly infectious diseases. Around the world, over 33 million people are living with HIV/AIDS. In 2007 alone, 2.5 million people became infected with HIV and another 2.1 million died from AIDS. To strengthen our fight against HIV/AIDS and bring hope to those afflicted with this disease, we need strong executive leadership that can build on President Bush's groundbreaking efforts.
"As President, I will mobilize our civilian instruments of power to address HIV/AIDS, poverty and other challenges across Africa by empowering a single U.S. official with the responsibility and authority to lead all of America's civilian efforts in the region. I will fundamentally transform our international aid efforts so that more of our assistance goes to those suffering rather than bureaucracy. Today, only one-third of all foreign aid gets to the people it was intended to help. That must change.
"As devastating as HIV/AIDS has been around the world, we must not forget that over a million Americans are living with the disease here at home. We should do all we can to ensure that America continues to lead the world in cutting-edge research and development into new medicines. I believe in supporting policies that foster innovation and get every American access to affordable, quality health insurance. I also believe that government should work in partnership with our nation's pharmaceutical researchers and manufacturers to advance the HIV/AIDS research agenda and move us toward a cure."
Pandering to the left again I see.
Here’s some non provincial yakking for ya.
Get married and have sex with your spouse, only.
Solved. No money.
You’d think he’d know that.
World AIDS Day!??
YIKES!!!
I’m staying indoors today.
When are we going to quit providing aid to every country in the world.. In America we could address the causes of aids.. but that is seldom mentioned.. people need to take responsibility for their actions..I fed up paying for peoples stupidity...
Maybe he’s angling for the Log Cabin endorsement after all.
Aren’t you a sweetheart for pinging me...;^)
The man just makes me gag. He’s SUCH a slick politician. Ugh!
F-Africa. If you're going to spend billions of American taxpayer dollars, spend it on Americans. And if you're going to spend on disease research, cancer and heart disease (to name just two) should take precedence over a disease (AIDS) almost always contracted by lifestyle choices.
Don’t use intravenous drugs or have gay sex with multiple anonymous partners.
That would solve 90% of it.
Good foreign policy. Africa is the least developed continent and governments are being over-run by muslims as we speak. This is one way to court the people.
From what I’ve heard, the reality is they are suffering horribly. Let’s count our blessings.
Who are we aiding ?
Is there also a “World’s Cancer Day” or a “world’s heart attack day”?
No, the gay lobby doesn’t agitate for such.
Guess the billboards are out...
JUST SAY NO TO PROMISCUOUS ANAL SEX
"As President, I will mobilize our civilian instruments of power to address HIV/AIDS, poverty and other challenges across Africa ...."
