Are You Ready?

 The election is over and now we have a new President.

Some statements made during the runup to the election were extreme.

It remains to be seen which ones will be followed up on and put into motion.

Some quieter indications were also revealed – items about school lunch programs and food programs for the elderly, work to improve the lives of the elderly and provide access for people who are disabled.

I have family friends whose children depend on free school lunches and the free school breakfasts that they receive. If, or should I say, when, these programs are cut back and in some cases terminated, these families will be impacted immediately in a negative fashion I don’t believe they comprehend.

There are 16 million households in the US with hungry children.

When I was voting I met an elderly lady in a wheelchair. She preparing to vote. The place was packed. I greeted her and she told me they wouldn’t let her vote because she didn’t have identification.  

She told me if they didn’t let her vote that ‘they’ had given her the number for a lawyer and she would call. She said that is what ‘they’ told her to do next if they didn’t let her vote. A poll worker got her straightened out. 

There are 54 million US residents 65 and older.

Have you any doubt that the Federal Government is now to step away from providing direct assistance to children and seniors?

Are you ready?

Strangers Among You

  Strangers Among You   By Alfred Brock   Introduction   This book talks about why migrants and immigrants are risking their lives to cross the border into the United States and become Americans.  It is a plain, simple telling of the Martinez family as they make their way from the countryside of Costa Rica to Detroit, Michigan.                 It is built, of course, upon the American dream and the American that exists in the United States of America.   More than that, however, it details the very real reasons people have for leaving their country to go to the United States.  Not enough people are aware that these people are leaving life and death situations.   They are coming from places that cannot be gone back to without a great deal of work and fixing.               ...

Toxic Nuclear Waste Dump in Van Buren Charter Township, Michigan

Image
Below are reasons for covering a toxic waste dump - none seem to apply in Van Buren Charter Township Toxic waste dumps are often capped with a system of barriers designed to prevent the waste from contaminating the environment.
