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.

WRITE IN BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT - YOU CAN IN CALIFORNIA - and IT'S NOT A WASTED VOTE!
BERNIE SANDERS SITE - REVOLUTION CONTINUES
If you're a BERNIE SANDERS FAN LIKE WE ARE, YOU CAN WRITE HIS NAME IN when you vote for President on November 8th. YOUR VOTE IS YOUR WAY OF SPEAKING YOUR PEICE, so if you're sick of the pathetic Presidential campaign and your heart isn't into either candidate... If you wondering if you want a sexual harasser as a president or a highly educated woman who stays married to one... WHY NOT VOTE FOR THE MAN WHOSE BEEN LONG MARRIED TO ONE WOMAN and doesn't have any scandals attached to him?
We know BERNIE GAVE UP, and we know SINCE HE RAN AS A DEMOCRAT, he ENDED UP ENDORSING HILLARY CLINTON. We know competitors can get nasty, but she thought it was funny to suggest he be killed by DRONE and that's just going too far, even as an off handed smart remark. DO YOU WANT FOUR YEARS OF Trump's tax returns and Clinton's e-mails?
WRITE IN BERNIE... and don't forget about PROPOSITION HHH as in HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS!
*** IT'S NOT PERFECT BUT IT IS A START.... the spring will bring OTHER/FURTHER opportunities to do the same. THE ONE THING THAT CANNOT BE OUTLAWED IS GREED, and DEVELOPERS ARE USUALLY GREEDY and RICH ENOUGH TO LAWYER THEIR WAY AROUND...

BERNIE SANDERS TALKS POVERTY
CBS NEWS BERNIE SANDERS SUDDENLY (?!) TALKING ABOUT POVERTY full article
(To us he's always been talking about the economy and the need for more for us!)
EXCERPTS:
In Indiana on Monday, he pointed out that 21 percent of children in the state are living in poverty -- and in many states he has been even more expansive, emphasizing less the lack of access to material goods than to life expectancy...
He added that 15 neighborhoods in Baltimore have lower life expectancies than in North Korea -- and two of them have a higher infant mortality rate than in the West Bank...
On Apr. 26, five states held primaries. Sanders' solitary win that day was Rhode Island, where he talked about 1 in 10 children in the state living in poverty. Yet Sanders lost the four other battles, and in each of those states he talked extensively about poverty in a locally-focused way...
At an outdoor rally in Oregon last week, Sanders pointed out that nearly 20,000 public school students under the age of 18 are homeless in the state and that a quarter of the children in the state live in households without adequate access to food.
Sanders is now talking about poverty everywhere he goes. With a poverty rate of about 16 percent, Oregon is not a special case. According to the Census Bureau, about 14.5 percent of Americans live in poverty nationwide, or more than 45 million people.

SANDERS SAYS POOR PEOPLE DON'T VOTE...

We support the efforts of local advocates to pass Bill of Rights measures that include:
• Protections against segregation, laws targeting homeless people for their lack of housing and not their
behavior, and restrictions on the use of public space.
• Privacy protections for those experiencing homelessness, and the ability to vote or feel safe in the community.
• Providing broad access to shelter, social services, legal counsel and a quality education for the children of homeless families.
The following cities and states have passed or are considering homeless rights legislation:
California | Connecticut | Delaware | Illinois | Baltimore, Maryland | Minnesota | Missouri
