I Am Starving

No, not for food, God has blessed me with that....nor for love, I am blessed with that as well. I am, however, starving for a taste of common sense in this country. A taste of love and compassion toward our fellow man, a taste of decency in Washington, a decency toward the American citizens who get up every morning to do what is right for themselves and their families as well as their country.

I started this blog to help Americans see what homelessness is all about. I started this blog to create an awareness to all decent Americans that they may see the future of this country and what we may all become if we continue on this path of self-destruction.

MY FELLOW AMERICANS.....PLEASE, I URGE YOU TO STAND UP AS ONE AND PUSH TO ELIMINATE THE TOBACCO, PHARMACEUTICAL AND INDUSTRIAL LOBBYISTS CONTROLLING OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

We are in the state that we are in now because, once elected, our officials have no interest in serving our needs but elect to serve the interests of big business and special interest groups.

I ask you all, how can these officials sleep at night when just a few short blocks away from their plosh Washington apartments and suites, live dozens of homeless Americans, struggling to find shelter.

With Autumn upon us, the streets and back alleys not only in Washington, but throughout this country will become a bit colder, a bit more frightening and yet, our elected officials continue to authorize funding for Bush's Iraqi Fiasco....just imagine how many lives could be spared, how many homeless citizens could be home again, how many people could be fed if that money were allocated to the cause of American citizens.

I stated in last evening's blog that we are on the verge of yet another election year. We were lured into believing in the last election that "YES WE CAN", yet Washington still doesn't get it and NO WE CANNOT continue to allow America to follow the course it is now following.

Foreclosures are still rising, unemployment is going through the roof, homelessness is rising and yet our government continues to go about the business of taking one month summer breaks, worrying about how much of a salary increase its elected officials deserve and turning a deaf ear to the needs of its everyday citizens.

I need your help everyone, I need thousands of comments and posts and I promise you that with your help, together, we will be able to take matters into our own hands and do what is right for us all and lobby Washington on behalf of all of us, to open its eyes to the values and principals this country was founded upon.

Please tell your friends, neighbors, family members and co-workers about this blog and let us all stand up as truly "ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL".

As always, thank you and and may God Bless you all.
