19. I'm so glad you're here!
:loveya:

What do we do to support Rep. Waters with this moratoriam, and how do we make it nationwide?

Good Lord, that's the question of the millenium. Maxine Waters gets shoved out of the spotlight more than just about any other member of Congress. And it's a shame because so much of what she says is spot on. Hmmmm, I think I just explained why she gets pushed out of the spotlight. :)

*sigh* I don't have the first clue how to make this a nationwide issue. Bobbo, it's one of those issues like being burned. You can tell a child "don't touch the stove" a million and a ten times but all they have to do is touch that hot stove ONCE and they'll never do it again. It's now a part of their conscious. Unfortunately, it seems as if much of the homeless issue is the same way. People don't give a damn until they are the ones getting put out of their homes.
