In a unique blend of rock, charity and leading edge technology, U2's Bono is taking his fight against African hunger and AIDS to a whole new level. During the "Vertigo" tour, Bono will ask fans to join the "One Campaign" from their seats by sending a text message with their mobile phones. John Gage at Sun Microsystems:
"Sun is supporting Bono by providing the technical infrastructure to allow a million Americans to organize themselves to become a political voice in support of debt relief, increased AIDS support and change in trade policies for Africa."
Bono is urging all Americans to text-message their representatives to make their voice heard:
"What I hope is that you tell the politicians to do right by Africa. Give them permission to spend their political capital and your financial capital on saving the lives of millions of people."
