The suffering of homeless in Portland Oregon is a crime to all humanity. Its time for all of us to do something, and stop taking the value of land, or the wealth of business owners, or the appearance of a sidewalk, over the value of compassionate loving people as these.

We must stop seeing homeless people as bad or lazy or criminal. They too are a part of our home here in Portland Oregon and we are all responsible to care for our brothers and sisters of humanity. This great city of ours is plagued with a lack of compassion for what is our greatest asset. The people who live here. All of us. This is home to all of us, and we are all as family. The time is now, not later. to stop the fighting and arguing and worry of money. Who cares about all that? We are a city filled with tall and great buildings, beautiful parks, tons of houses, and lots of food. We are not poor!

If you care like we should, stop asking the very few at City Hall to do something. Yes they are our guiding leaders, but without our help as fellow Americans, our community dies. I say, lets show the rest of the world how great we are! Make small groups of 4 or five friends and family, and go out there. Find just one hurting homeless person that needs the love and guidance he/she deserves. Tell the person, we are concerned for you, we know you are a good person, and we want to guide you in becoming healthy and happy again. Get to know the person. Do not support drug addiction or alcoholism if that is the case. And you will not know the person, or if they will steal if allowed in your home. But remember, if this was your son or daughter you would not give up, until you find that path that works for them. Your love and compassion will go a long way. And do not give up. It may take a very long time. Or a short time. But see them every chance you can, and keep helping guide them to that which brings them back into mainstream.

I beg everyone to start doing this in Portland. Yes that means you too! This will end homelessness, create happy and healthy people, and stronger community, more beautiful and prosperous then ever. If you were homeless, would you not want the same? How magical that would be. So don't be lazy or selfish with things you can not bring to the after life. Do onto your brother as you would have them do unto you. And do it today.

Thank you Portland,

Together we stand. devided we fall.
