How about trying to alleviate poverty?

Dear leaders in the United States and in the world,

How about fighting to alleviate poverty in the United States, and in the world today? As someone who has lived out on the streets, gone without meals, and was unable get around in a rural community other than walking (or sometimes taking a county bus part of the way, and at one point I was given a bicycle to ride) one problem that needs your attention and work is poverty, right here in the U.S.A., and in the world! People are going to bed hungry, people are living out on the streets, and some people have no way to get around (if they did have a job) other than to walk. Even if the poor among us had "free" health care they would not be able to avail themselves of it because they wouldn't be able to get to a facility (they are poor and don't have phones, and pay phones are being taken down - they are few and rare).
