The advertisement says, "Mr. President and Members of Congress, thank you for your commitment to the world's poor by authorizing historic global AIDS legislation in May. Now, on behalf of the 14 million children orphaned by AIDS, we call upon you to fund AIDS appropriations at $3 billion for 2004, and dedicate 10% for the care of AIDS orphans and vulnerable children. The need is urgent. Together, we have the capacity to make a difference" (Ad text, Roll Call, 9/3).
