From: [log in to unmask] Return-path: <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: (Petition): I am no longer afraid to speak / disability pension Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 22:47:06 EST Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Janet, Canada has much to be proud of in the way it's citizens are treated. The USA has a lot to offer, but our social programs need help. Every time I think things are getting better here, I see what happens to folks like Ivan,who has to fear losing his home due to government not being attuned to the needs of the people. We send aid to other countries and our own people are left to fend for themselves. I am glad we can help others, but we need to have better priorities. No one should have to live on the streets, starve, or be denied medical care, when our economy is so robust. The money is here, it just needs to be handled better. Monica Lewinsky could stay in a Holiday Inn, not a $5000 a night suite, and Ivan's sewer bill could be paid for years! (I KNOW it's not that simple!) I don't have all the answers, but I have plenty of QUESTIONS! Ken B.
