Madman At The Helm



On September 13, 2000 Bush said, "The best way to relieve families from time is to let them keep some of their own money."

Well, golly gee thanks Georgie.

My husband came home from work today and told me about a new man they hired. My husband is to be his direct supervisor. He & this new man are about the same age. $7.50 an hour to drive a truck running parts & supplies to men on job sites; and he's incredibly grateful for the job, do you know why? He's 8 months behind on his rent. Obviously, he has a very cool landlord. How many people are in this predicament in this country or WORSE-no home at all? It's not getting better, my friends. There is a tremendous amount of stealing going on & it starts with the top.

What can we do about this? Have you ever thought about WHAT you could do? Where do I start?

There is a great book out by John Graham, the President of The Giraffe Heroes Project Stick Your Neck Out- a street-smart guide to creating change in your community. Incidently, Mr. Graham, just 3 weeks after this book came out, ended up on the "No-Fly List." Our government does not want you to stick your neck out.



Peace,
Deanna
