Yesterday, UK indie superstars Travis gave Prime Minister Tony Blair a reminder via a massive post-it stuck to his front door.
The UK Prime Minister was about to head off for the G8 conference in Russia when all the members of Travis appeared on the doorstep of 10 Downing St to give him a little reminder about the promises made a year ago to relieve poverty in Africa. The note read: "Tony Blair - *Some steps forward * Much more to do at G8. Make poverty history."In a press conference in front of the famous black door, Travis lead singer Fran Healy said, "If G8 leaders keep these promises, 4 million lives will be saved every year. One in four of us in the UK took action to support MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY last year and worldwide 130 million people actively support the global call to action against poverty. The world is watching for the leaders to make their promises happen."
The publicity stunt is part of a wider Live8 campaign in the form of an online 'Post-It Petition'. Add your name and message at http://www.live8live.com/postit.
