Very often, Theme Park Adventure is approached by companies with a new technology to share or a great themed attraction that they want to expose our readers to. We are pleased to bring you TPA Quick Take - a page on the site where these great slices of the industry will be in the spotlight for you to learn about. Enjoy, everyone! |

Editor's Note - Why The ONE Campaign? Visitors and readers here at Theme Park Adventure may wonder why we dedicate so much attention on this site to the ONE Campaign. The answer is simple; while TPA is here to celebrate the fun of the themed entertainment industry, the real world exists out there when we log off. Part of that world consists of our brothers and sisters in Africa, who are suffering, struggling and dying at an amazing rate. The ONE Campaign is a cause that we believe in completely and feel that we can contribute to by doing something as simple as buying and wearing white wrist bands or wearing T-shirts. It's not possible for us to have fun here and report on the luxuries of entertainment that we all have each day without remembering that there are those out there - in some cases, entire villages of children raising children because their parents have all died of AIDS - that are in need. We encourage our readers to become involved in any way possible and know that the people that are part of the TPA family are just the kind that will step up and help make a difference in this world. In the prophetic words of Bono: Where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die. We know that our readers are just the type of people that will hear that call and take action with us to bring an end to extreme poverty. |

Every day, every paper in America carries a story about
the 2008 presidential election - sometimes as many as two, three, or
four in a single day. Even more amazing is the fact that we are still eighteen months away from Election Day! And while the press is saturating the media with election coverage, people are dying every single day from extreme poverty and global disease. This global crisis can no longer be overlooked. That's why I'm writing to you today. I need your help to bring ONE's message to the forefront of the 2008 presidential race. On Monday we will launch ONE Vote '08, an unprecedented national campaign to make every 2008 presidential candidate take a clear position on extreme poverty and global disease. Sign up for the conference call Monday, June 11th at 7:30 pm eastern time. We are just days away from launching an aggressive field effort, placing ads on the air, and launching a new website that will track the '08 candidates on the ground and on the issues like AIDS, malaria, access to clean water, and universal basic education. But to reach the widest audience possible, we need to tap in the power of the ONE community. I need you to share your vision for an America that leads the global fight to end extreme poverty and disease. So on Monday I'll be kicking-off ONE Vote '08 by hosting a conference call with Senator Tom Daschle, Senator Bill Frist, and you. Sign up for the conference call Monday, June 11th at 7:30 pm eastern time. We'll start the call by discussing campaign strategy, and then quickly open up the floor for your questions and to hear your thoughts. We've anticipated a huge response, so we lined up some powerful technology for the occasion. Instead of having to dial into the call, we'll be calling you. That's right, no dial-in number and no time to keep track of. Just follow the link below and we'll call you at 7:30 pm eastern time on the 11th. Sign up with your phone number to join-in on this conference call. Our efforts on behalf of the world's poorest people to raise awareness and spur our leaders to action have saved millions of lives. Taking our campaign to the 2008 presidential race means taking our fight against extreme poverty to an entirely new level. Together, we will ensure that - no matter who ends up being elected president - the next leader of the free world will be a leader in eradicating poverty and global disease. I look forward to hearing from you on Monday. Thank you, Susan McCue, ONE.org |
