KNIT PICK'S INJUSTICE GANG

You can help make next year's Mother's Day better for all the woman and children who won't be around to see it. Your signature on this petition will help get cosponsors for H.R. 1410 , the Newborn, Child and Mother Survival Act of 2009. If they don't get the medicine they need they'll be over 500,000 lonely cheap Hallmark cards and flower arrangements sitting on shelves in grocery stores all over Africa and the rest of the World.

Around the world, more than 25,000 children under the age of 5 die every day from preventable and treatable diseases, and about 536,000 women die from pregnancy and birth-related causes. That's simply unacceptable.

We need a new U.S. global plan and effort to reduce deaths among millions of newborns, young children and mothers by 25 percent in the 30 most-affected poor countries by 2013. The Newborn, Child and Mother Survival Act of 2009 (H.R. 1410) offers a strategy to accomplish these goals by investing in highly effective, low-cost solutions.

This Mother's Day, speak up for moms and newborns around the world! Urge your representative to cosponsor the Newborn, Child and Mother Survival Act of 2009.
