Yesterday's Extraordinary Opportunity with the Nation's Governors

For the second year in a row the Democratic Governor’s Association invited Share Our Strength to update them on the progress of our strategy to end childhood hunger. So yesterday morning at the J.W. Marriott, Josh Wachs and Melissa Roy and I spent about 20 minutes with the Democratic Governors before they went into their private session.

Governor O’Malley introduced me to describe our strategy, and Arkansas Governor Beebe followed my remarks with comments about the progress of No Kid Hungry in Arkansas. West Virginia’s newly elected Governor Tomblin asked to be recognized and shared some ideas about school based efforts in his state. Governor Nixon of Missouri who was inspired by our team over the weekend signaled his support, and the chief of staff for a southern governor followed Josh and Melissa and me out into the hall after and said they want to help.


As you may have seen from the substantial Washington Post coverage of the governors meeting, they have been embroiled in controversial issues ranging from potential Medicaid cuts to education reform and cyber-security. The fact that they would put childhood hunger on their agenda and invite us to lead off their private session is an extraordinary testament to the credibility of Share Our Strength and our strategy – a credibility that has been built by every action of every member of our team these past few years.


Thanks to our many Share Our Strength supporters for helping us make and seize this opportunity to advance No Kid Hungry on the national policy agenda – and especially where it matters most: in the states where kids live and where these critical food and nutrition services are delivered. And special thanks to Governor Martin O'Malley for his continued leadership and commitment to our nation's children.

  1. My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he prepared some herbs and sent them, along with guidance on how to use them via the DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed by dr imoloa and in less than 14 days, my daughter recovered her health.
