President Barack Obama is already giving signs that he is committed to the fight against extreme poverty. In his inaugural address yesterday, he said:

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.

Please take a moment to send a thank you note to President Obama for his commitment and let him know that the world is watching, and hoping to see him follow through on his plans:
