Get a job, do some actual work, stop being lazy scum. If you can stand on a streetcorner all day begging and taking money you can stand behind a cash register at a gas station all day taking money. There is no excuse for you people to not be working. We see you carrying huge backpacks, pushing heavy shopping carts and walking or biking anywhere you go. And somehow you're too disabled to work? BULLSHIT! I hope the city bulldozes your illegal blight and crime-ridden shantytown at 3:00 am. Get a job, do some actual work, stop being lazy scum.

it is worthwhile to think of the future,
while remembering the 24 hours in the
present day here and now, there are 3 watches
in a day and night
to observe that will help to plan
a better future without the bane of poverty,
8 hours for Rest, 8 hours for labor, and

]]> Comment on Words from PEOPLE FOR A HUMAN RIGHTS SANCTUARY leading up to Sept. 12th March by kateascot http://peopleproject.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/words-from-people-for-a-human-rights-sanctuary-leading-up-to-march/#comment-321 kateascot Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:24:53 +0000 http://peopleproject.wordpress.com/?p=775#comment-321 Just came back from spending 2 nights sleeping in a camp for homeless persons at SafeGround in Sacramento. The Mayor agrees that this camp is not a recreational "campground" in the traditional sense but is a Human Rights sanctuary and their attorney (who owns the land the homeless are living on, Mark Merrin) believes that the ordinances that make "camping" illegal within the city is not the same as what a sleeping area is when homeless persons are occupying it. He is confident that he can win the case that will come out of this encampment and change the camping ordinance to decriminalize campers. The police are using the CSI unit of the Sheriffs Dept. that take pictures at 6-7am. The group has been raided twice and lost all their belongings while arresting 17 people. Some have lost bikes and trailers, tents, sleeping bags, medicines, the usual. But there was no report from anyone of abuse other than material goods, arrest, etc. Seems the Sac law enforcement are more polite than Eurekas. SafeGround organizer Maureen Black told me while I was helping to plant the first plants in their camp garden that she will support us when we need them. So good to hear! When we left I told our brothers and sisters not to give up and they sounded determined to stay for the long haul even though it means personal sacrifice for all of them as they learn how to get along with each other under such stressful circumstances. We could have had a campground in 1992, but there was not a strong enough group at that time to accomplish the daunting task. It is happening all over the country, we ARE going to do it! The time is right!!!!! See ya at the march!!!! Just came back from spending 2 nights sleeping in a camp for homeless persons at SafeGround in Sacramento.

What right does the government have to drive in fancy cars and live in nice houses when the families who have no choice but to stay at home and take care of a handicapped person are the ones who will suffer. I am a single mother of three girls. The youngest is almost eleven months old. She was born with Williams Syndrome and has already had four surgeries including open-heart. I would love to go and work in a "normal" workplace, but have no choice to stay at home and care for my baby who eats from a machine and poops in a bag, can't walk or crawl yet and no child care will take the risk to watch her. I wonder how these politicians sleep at night? Do they realize that the budget cuts they are making are only the ones that affect the sick and poor? How more poor do we need to be? This was not my choice to have a sick baby and IHSS is THE ONLY way I can provide for my family. So I say screw you Arnold...what goes around comes around and if I lose the roof over my head just to that you can take another vacation or star in another stupid movie, I will be sleeping on your lawn and using your budget-cut proposels as my toilet paper!!

People LEARN to be cruel and to devalue life, and to consider some life disposable. Articles about violence against homeless people always seem to omit State violence- which has been constant for years.

I am currently homeless myself and am currently living at Tent City 3 in Seattle. I guess I would not have been supportive of you guys two or three years ago but that was before I became homeless myself. Hey there, I am rooting for Safe Haven to succeed.
