Rest in Peace Big Sue

[KBlagburn]

Just imagine what a world we would live in, if ppl who fight for the rights of those yet born, would apply that same passion to protecting the homeless, poor, and hungry among us and actually live those christian values they espouse. It is a shame that we put more value on a microscopic cell than we do human lives. What makes one life more worthy than another? This is NOT a christian nation, never has been never will be. what it is, is a nation full of hypocrits and biggots and anti-lifers, who happen to call themselves christians who believe that respect for life only applies to the unborn and ends at birth.

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me" Matthew 25

3. progressive in Fresno remind the Mayor of King's words

I'm no longer in Fresno.. but I do try to keep up with and continue to support what the progressive in Fresno do and to condemn the evil. Sadly evil continues to run the city of Fresno.

But there is Hope.. and the small harding working progressive continue the fight.

"Our lives begin to end the day We come silent about things that matter" Dr King.

Big Sue is remembered in MLK March.




And the crowd is reminded of the heartless Mayor





Now if we only could get a National TV progressive show televise live from Fresno

4. In this article from 2009

It clearly states that Fresno was expected to receive $3 million to help the homeless:

*snip*

"Among stressed cities, Fresno in California’s Central Valley farm belt faces particular challenges. Even before the recession, the city of 430,000 had the highest concentration of poverty in the nation, according to a 2008 study by the Brookings Institution. The unemployment rate was 14.5 percent in May.

Homelessness has been persistent. Last year, a federal judge ordered Fresno to pay more than $2 million to homeless residents who had their property swept up and hauled off by the city without warning.

Fresno is expected to receive $3 million for its homelessness initiatives, with one-third of that amount aimed at relocating people in tent cities."

What did the city of Fresno do with those funds? They sure as hell didn't do a thing for Big Sue.
