The needs of the homeless are being ignored. Unless the social service agencies that are suppose to be helping them needs them to get additional funding for their organization. Better known as show and ask.
It has been estimated that there are approximately 1.5 million homeless youth walking the streets of our cities 50% of them under the age of 15. They are trying to escape abuse and sexual abuse in their homes and schools.
Imminent domain taking over family owned businesses to make room for Corporate America.
Politicians at all levels of our government are being exposed for corruption.
Social service agencies are being exposed for mismanagement of funds at an alarming rate.
There is an increased violence in our schools.
A large majority of churches are more business oriented than people oriented.
Pedophiles are kidnapping children off of our streets; as well pedophiles are enticing children off of the Internet.
Child related sexual sites on the Internet.
On the news a short time ago two pedophiles working at Children's Hospital were arrested for molesting their patients. Here in San Diego, California. One of them was molesting comatose children.
Also three guys broke into a college student's apartment and raped two college students. You are not even safe in your own home.
School teachers are molesting their students, at an alarming rate.
Children being are being shot down on the streets, under the guise of gang shootings.

The number of our kids and their kids killed in Iraq.
Here in San Diego, California we are losing police officers at an alarming rate, due to the fact that they cannot get a pay raise. They are transferring to other police departments. Hey they have families to support, mortgages, etc
The way that we treat our service workers is totally disrespectful. They are performing a service for us.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights are being interrupted to fit the agenda of the politicians and Corporate America.
