Care Of Poor People Presser
On Saturday, March 30 2013, Care Of Poor People Inc. will be having the “Stand Your Ground” event. If you are involved with feeding and clothing the poor of Kansas City on our streets, I need your help. Our right to help the poor and homeless is under attack. This concerns every citizen in our community that cares about their brothers and sisters on the street. It is hoped, that we can bring together enough of the various organizations and individuals to show in solidarity that we’re not going to just stand by and let laws get passed, that are detrimental to the poor and homeless of our community .
In America, laws are passed in local municipals, state, and federal government laws that hurt or changed a person’s rights to live and prosper. The bureaucrats need to know your organization and the average person cares about the rights of the poor and homeless and our right to help them. There are many towns that are passing laws limiting your rights and also make it illegal of giving food and materials to those you see in need. How can the poor and homeless be helped enough to survive?
Our city fathers or certain individuals feel shelters is the only way to keep the homeless off the streets. If we cannot help support them, where is the money to house and feed the homeless? There are over 15,000 homeless in Kansas City area while there being 2,500 beds in shelters. Working with and once living as a street person, I can say many homeless persons would never enter a shelter. A lot of those shelters are worse than some of our prisons in this country. Except in prisons bedbugs are not a problem.
Please join care of poor people and trying to make a difference for those in need and are hurting in our community this coming Saturday, March 30, 2013 “Stand Your Ground” event . Don’t let the systems take away your rights to help the poor and homeless. If this happens, what is next? I truly believe it is necessary to “Stand Your Ground.” This is , Richard G Tripp Director of Care of Poor P Inc. For further information, Please go to: www.COPPInc.com

Do they really want to help the homeless or just preach their religion bullshit to them?
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping the homeless fed so they can piss, shit and fuck in the bushes of our neighborhood parks and businesses.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the care of homeless that's under attack, it's the behavior of the homeless that's under attack. I believe that semantics are getting in our way. Their are some that are truly homeless... through circumstances beyond their control ... and then there's a group that we used to call bums. It's the latter that are causing the problems.
ReplyDeleteIf you like the homeless so much, why don't you take them back to Overland Park with you?
