***ATTENTION! Those Upset @ Homeless Paraplegic Man--PLEASE!!- Take This Opportunity!
Edited on Mon Feb-12-07 02:20 PM by bobbolink
Here is a good way to turn your tears and anger into something very useful and helpful to those who are homeless, ill and alone!!

Please help by calling one of these numbers, and getting your REP to cosponsor this bill!

No more homeless people turned out on the street, ill and helpless!

PLEASE HELP!!

THANK YOU!

3. Thank you so much, ShortnFiery! Let us know the results of your call(s)!
And, please pass this info on to as many as possible.

This isn't a sexy issue like the war, so many will not call. :cry:

All we have to do is remember that poor man crawling along in a tattered hospital gown, with no where to go, and nobody to give him a place to live so he could recover. :cry:

Then, dial those numbers! People haven't been very united about this, so let's change that!

Thanks so very much! :hug: :hi: :hug:

7. Thank you, Giant Robot!
:hug: :applause:

I'm in the same boat... my rep is Tancredo. GAK!

BUT... there are surprises, and we need to keep pushing.

Last year at budget time, I was asking people around her to please write and call Tancredo. One of my friends got a letter back from him, saying that he was against cuts to Medicaid. We were both surprised at that.

Of course, he ended up voting FOR the damned budget :mad:, but... IF all those who thought it was hopeless to contact Tancredo had called and written, it might have swayed him, because he was already saying he didn't agree with cutting Medicaid!

So, you never know, and they work FOR US, so we need to let 'em know. I know it's discouraging, but... with enough of us hounding them, maybe we can have an effect. We never know until we try, and things have changed in the House, so this is the time to go for the ridiculous! :hi:

Thanks again for your efforts! I want you to know that I felt so alone when I was homeless, and your willingness to call feels like a personal support to me, too.

:hug:
