ABOUT THE MILLENNIUM GOALS
The U.N. Millennium Development Goals represent the most
significant opportunity in the history of humankind. In 2000, the
largest gathering of world leaders ever assembled met in New
York City and agreed to a time-frame for ending the world’s top
global concerns. In this age of opportunity and technology, very
little political effort is required to achieve the utterly affordable
and doable goals.

White House Response to the Millennium Goals:
While President Bush has publicly acknowledged the
importance of the Millennium Goals, behind the scenes,
the White House has often obstructed efforts to achieve
the plan to end world hunger. In 2005, less than a
month before 165 world leaders were to meet to discuss
global poverty and the Millennium Goals, the Bush
administration made 750 amendments to a 29-page
draft agreement. Among the changes, the White House
wanted all mention of the Millennium Goals removed
and demanded there be no pledges to increase aid to
impoverished nations.
