53 souls....what is that worth?
Loved ones…my home…where I was born in 1949…is San Jose California…I have spent a fair portion of my time here…
I have watched it change…when I was a child…I am sure there must have been homeless but I never saw any…
In the 1967 when I drove my ¾ ton pickup and delivered beans to the migrant worker camps with the Caesar Chavez people I “thought” these were the poorest I have ever seen….
HOWEVER. …Today in San Jose…more than a few people cannot find food to survive
And tonight more than a few people will not be able to find shelter to survive
And probably when the next temperature drop occurs…some homeless in San Jose, California, United States of America…will die of long-term exposure…being outside 24/7 month after month
They will just die alone in the bushes under a cement wall…
You do not have to worry about nurse ratios Arnold….
Last year 53 homeless souls died on the street here in my hometown…
not from accidents or disease…
but long-term exposure to sun/wind/rain/heat/cold...with the shopping cart for shelter...
Died...killed... on these american streets specifically from a life of homelessness…
Each and every one died within the perimeter of one of the wealthiest places on the planet…average household encome over $70,000...greatest amount of disposable money for any large city in the U.S.A...
they have actually closed hospitals here…”not enough XXXXmoney” was reported….
Today it was announced that the San Jose Social services and public safety departments will absorb the biggest hits in the county's effort to close a $111 million budget deficit for the fiscal year beginning next July….
what this means is you will see more electronic images of Arnold with Chinese Disabled Children holding up a torch over in China…and more homeless…and more people dying in the bushes here in silicon valley...
all while the facts show that the average San Jose Home Owner has the greatest amount of disposable money than any large city in the United States…
Is this what America is about? Is this the democracy we export to other countries?
I petition for the White Light of the Holy Spirit to surround and enclose all homeless souls and all their loved ones…. I petition they learn their lessons with the least amount of pain…also I petition persons acting in the best interests of all Americans to also be enclosed with the shimmering golden protective shield of the Arch Angel Michael…I petition and ask that in Mother and Father Gods Name…
