We're hearing it all over, seniors who are already unable to afford RENT and FOOD and MEDICAL CARE, fearful that changes in MEDICARE in the TRUMP administration will mean co-pays they have no more money for. Like the senior citizens who are LIVING IN RV's and VANS because they can't afford an apartment on their Social Security.
BERNIE SANDERS didn't win the Presidency but his message is still strong and needs to be carried by all of us.
BERNIE SANDERS - MEDICARE FOR ALL
Trump claimed during his campaign for the Presidency of this United States of America, which he won, that unlike other Republicans he did not want cuts in Medicare.
THE HILL - TRUMPS CAMPAIGN CLAIMS IN DOUBT RE MEDICARE
EXCERPT: The selection of Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) to become Health and Human Services secretary is testing President-elect Donald Trump....

TRUMP"S THE NEXT PRESIDENT! WILL HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES of JOBS for AMERICAN HELP THE HOMELESS?
SINCE JOBLESSNESS and WAGES that are INCOMPATIBLE with the COST OF LIVING in CALIFORNIA are tied into HOMELESSNESS, we are hoping that DONALD TRUMP intends to STIMULATE THE ECONOMY with LIVING WAGE JOBS and other opportunities for people who are DISABLED or PARTLY DISABLED to earn income.We've met so many people who once held good jobs who have been on the streets a long time, senior citizens living on SS and in RV's, people who sleeping in the mountains and coming down the hills to use library computers to look for work. We even know of someone who kept at a job as a secretary while living in a homeless encampment under a bridge. When he employer found out she was canned!
WITHOUT A DOUBT, having a consistent place to live and safely and privately get mail, a place to shower, a place to iron and hang up work wardrobe, a PLACE TO GET A GOOD NIGHT's SLEEP (which usually is not a homeless shelter) are essential to getting and keeping a job, as is training or retraining, having references or meeting people really willing to give a person a fresh start, and so on.
MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE DESTITUTE IN OTHER STATES COME TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, reasoning that maybe they'll get lucky and if not it's relatively warm in the winters.
EVERY STATE and EVERY CITY NEEDS ITS OWN PROGRAMS TO COMBAT POVERTY AND HOMELESSNESS.
So we HOPE TRUMP CAN MAKE ECONOMIC RENEWAL HAPPEN!
SOUNDS GOOD... STRONGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD....

PLEASE VOTE FOR PROPOSITION HHH - 60,000 PEOPLE NEED HOUSING YESTERDAY! (IT PASSED!)
We came out for PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BERNIE SANDERS, who is no longer running ... and you CAN "Write Him In"... IN SOME STATES INCLUDING CALIFORNIA. Though we think the Democratic candidates are more sympathetic to the plight of the homeless and poor in the United States of America, ee know many who will go into the voting booth and vote for the party, or avoid voting for either Trump or Clinton, in favor of Jill Stein.
WHATEVER YOU DO, and we do hope you will vote, PLEASE VOTE FOR PROPOSITION HHH. We know it's complicated but it's the best thing going for the homeless at this point and WE MUST DO SOMETHING. No easy answers, and much to be determined, we know, but we BEG YOU - PLEASE!
*If you are HOMELESS and did not REGISTER TO VOTE IN THIS ELECTION, PLEASE REGISTER TO VOTE IN THE NEXT... YOU CAN VOTE WHILE HOMELESS... See our past posts and side bar for information!
DAILY NEWS - LA VOTERS GREEN LIGHT PROP HHH By Brenda Gazzar, Los Angeles Daily News
EXCERPT:
The proposition would raise $1.2 billion to create between 8,000 and 10,000 permanent supportive housing units for the city’s homeless — and those at risk of becoming so — as well as facilities for access to mental health counseling, addiction services and housing placement, according to supporters.
Proposition HHH garnered the support of about 76 percent of votes cast by the time all precincts had been counted on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office. It needs 66.67 percent to pass, a considerable threshold for a ballot crowded with other tax measures.
“Today we can look at the most urgent moral crisis facing our city and say that help is on the way,” said Elise Buik, president and chief executive officer of the United Way of Greater Los Angeles, in a statement.
