I had a conversation with someone.. they said, "you know what I don't get, why can't they just get a job? McDonald's is always hiring." AND I said, "how do you fill out the paperwork, when you don't have an address? How do you wash yourself and get a good night sleep, if you don't have a home?" Typical response, "stay at a homeless shelter". I said to them, "do yourself a favor, go stay at the homeless shelter across town without your car, sleep with one eye open protecting yourself and your few things, get up and catch the bus with the spare change you begged for, work a 8 hour shift, and return to the homeless shelter without food and tired from your shift." That's when they decided that I was right.. Then they said, "So, why doesn't our govt do something?" AND I said, "because many people don't think about anyone other than theirselves and their immediate circle. If you and your friends don't care and don't demand for change, then the govt won't do anything."

Perspective. Most people have not faced this. It will be coming with a force unseen before, and then the govt will do something. In the meantime, we must continue fighting for those without a home... for those without a voice... for those who'd like to work and participate and count in society... for those who need medical and mental health services. Homlessness is the greatest fear of a lot of people. We know that if you lose it all, then there is no back up. AND because there is no back up, people become centrist in their mind to protect themselves (me, me, mine, mine). Now is the time to create the back up. Now is the time to recognize people as equal to the basic necesities in life. Now is the time to act. Now ist the time realize the Power of The People. If you think, YES WE CAN... then you all must start DOING what we can now. You must take the call to action and DO this NOW. Many will not make it another 8 months... More will slip... Life will errode.. Fear will set in.. and the CAN, won't.. and the HOPE will whither.. and America will be enthralled in Civil Unrest. YES WE CAN, YES WE MUST, YES WE MUST DO NOW!!!!!

NOW GO TO WORK!!!!
