Kindergarten kids. Dressed neatly in clean clothes. Homeless kids. And the ones I've met are good students.NEWSGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985481708249946300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-67932979802216236052009-03-11T14:49:00.000-04:002009-03-11T14:49:00.000-04:00This is getting to be such a huge problem... with ...This is getting to be such a huge problem... with the tent cities growing all over, and more coming up every day. <BR/><BR/>They sure don't want to talk about it very much though.. because it looks bad against Bush and they can't really spin it against Pres.

They created meals programs, and even clothes & laundry soap programs- because it is the whole being that needs to be cared for. <BR/><BR/>Kids need to be clean, have food and the total support to be in a position to learn. <BR/><BR/>When state budgets are operating in red ink.... school programs & social services get cut- right at a time when they are needed the most. <BR/><BR/>What kind of country are we???Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.com
