How about trying to alleviate poverty????

Dear leaders in the United States and in the world, and all others concerned,

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).

Love one another.

God is love.


Jesus is Lord!

All glory, honor, praise, and thanks be to our Creator Lord - maker of heaven and earth!!!!

P.S. After about 43 years of starting out to work (albeit not always full time, and not always above the minimum wage, and not always being gainfully employed) I believe, from what I'm being told, that I will still owe the government thousands of dollars more than what I have. If I'm able to make arrangements with the government to pay off what I owe, then after I pay off the government, the Lord willing, I can start saving up for retirement (for full disclosure: D.O.B. 3/23/56). That is why I've asked some leaders and the Supreme Court what the Constitution means by the words "excessive fines shall not be imposed" contained within the Eighth Amendment. FYI: I am presently blessed with two, or three, or four, or five jobs (depending on how you look at it) - one full-time, and one part-time, one only two or three times a year, another is work with no pay, but do not make a lot of money (definitely a lot less than what a U.S. Senator makes, and definitely less than what a lawyer makes), and have had my share of bologna sandwiches, and salad dressing sandwiches, or just bologna for meals.
