Wall Street Says: AMERICA it's your time to shine

I Found a Man Eating From the Garbage — This Was My Response

Walking home from the grocery store this week, I found a man in a wheelchair eating from a garbage can on a busy street. Horrified in the face of such misery, I shared my food with the man and walked on, overcome by anger and guilt.

I chastised myself for not doing more, and I wondered: How could a man in a country as rich as ours come to this? And what else could I–one lone individual–do?

For a problem as complex as homelessness, the answers can be difficult to see. But I saw without question one thing I can do:

VOTE.

In this election year, I will be voting for representatives who pledge to reclaim our country from those who have bent it for their own greed.

So I created this poster as an expression of my anger…but also of my hope that together we can take steps to alleviate the suffering caused to so many by so few.

    Well said, and the poster speaks volumes. In Seattle, we’ve got the homeless camping next to the freeways as well as under them. There’s got to be a better way. Thanks for being out there, speaking up.
