Let's help the poor and the working poor!

Dear Senator Robert Menendez,

Greetings on this glorious day that the good Lord has made! I hope that you and the loved ones are in good health! Good health is such a blessing from the good Lord! How is your spirit on this glorious day that the Lord has made? I am writing to you for your help. I hope and pray that our good Lord will grant you much wisdom and boldness to help the poor, and the working poor (some of us working poor could use the help), in this country today. Poverty affects millions in this country day in and day out. Day in and day out people go to bed hungry, some don't have enough clothes to wear, and some are living out on the streets. As someone who has lived out on the streets I can testify that it's not the best place to be. As someone who has lived on less than three meals a day over extended periods of time (some times it was no meals, sometimes it was bologna or bologna sandwiches) I can testify that this also isn't the best situation to be in. Over the last fourteen years I've had a condo. foreclosed on me (I was unemployed and had no money), lived on less than three meals a day over extended periods of time, been unemployed for a period of time, and also had to work (when employed) many hours to pay off massive debts (some were from credit cards that charged more than fourteen percent interest rates). Through it all I can testify that the good Lord was good to me - that He is good all the time! I can testify that the good Lord watched out over me, provided me with great comfort, and that He granted me wisdom and peace. I can testify that our loving, gracious, merciful, faithful Father loves us so much that He sent His Beloved Son into this world to die for us sinners, and that He arose again from the dead, and ascended up into Heaven. I can testify that He is the Lamb of God, the Holy One of Israel, the Light of the World, the Bread of Life, and that He shed His blood for us sinners so that we may have eternal life. I can testify that Jesus is our Rock, our Shield, our Fortress, our Refuge, our Hope, our Comfort, our Savior, our Redeemer! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Jesus is Lord!

Right now it seems that some (if not many, or all) of us working poor are not getting pay raises that keep up with the cost of living. Some (if not most) of us working poor put little money aside for savings, let alone money to buy even a small house or condo. Please Senator Robert Menendez, put more time and effort into helping the poor, and the working poor, in this country, and in the world today!

Thank you very much for all of your help! Hope that you and the loved ones have a joyous and peaceful day! May the good Lord bless you and the loved ones with blessings upon blessings!

Sincerely,



Ken Miller

P.S. Please remember that President Barack Obama promised to give us non-wealthy individuals a tax cut of $1,100 (some of us working poor people could use the money to the honor and glory of our good Lord).
