Property Owner Willing to Stand Up to City! He wants to help the homeless...
"America sometimes confuses many new refugees from other countries. America is very prosperous. It was built on the principle that every one is God children and this country was the promised land for people who were refugees in their own countries. There are so many vacant private and government buildings and lands. Yet a group of 50-100 people of citizens cannot find a place to setup their tents. Again, wherever they setup their tents, their own government threatens them and the property owners with fines and imprisonment. Something is wrong with this great country. We forgot why the Pilgrims came to America. We celebrate the fire works of 4th of July every year, but we forgot the meanings of why thousands of American colonists died to be free from the government control of the British. When a property owner cannot even offer a vacant land and regularly paying property tax land to help other human brothers and sisters, who are less fortunate than many of us, something is wrong.
As a tax payer, it should not be my one person responsibility to offer help to these homeless people. Our government should do that. What I heard and read so far, it is not the private citizens that have problem with these homeless people. It has been their own government. First, they were forced out by the City of Madison from the E. Washington Avenue. Then they were forced out by the Dane County from the Northport Drive. Now the Dane County will force them out of the Token Creek park. These people and their organizers are hopeless and must find a place by March 17th. They are not even at my God’s given and vacant land yet, and my own government already is warning me of large fines.
These people may have some problems but we all do."
"I am not trying to be hero. I just want to understand why American citizens are becoming refugees in their own country and our government is using laws and regulations to punish them and those who are helping them."
