My plans this afternoon were to basically read a few blogs, and then go hang out with the family; until I stumbled across Ross Quintana's Blog: "The Homeless in Spokane." Let me be frank, on the one hand I was moved by this blog, but I was embarassed by the feedback that it received from Active Rain members.  So here is what I have decided to do:  I invite you to checkout the link below: http://www.activerain.com/blogsview/352453/The-Homeless-in-Spokane;

Listen, this is not unique to Spokane, Washington.  All across the US there are people experiencing homelessness.  I believe that we the more fortunate must show some humanity.  Many of us make a lot of money, and I am not suggesting that one should squander his hard earned money; but would it be possible to have you become an advocate for the homeless?  Especially in this an election year, it is more likely that our elected officials would listen to our cause and concerns.  Is it possible to have NAR help us become a voice of the homeless?  

Kudos to Ross Quintana who has brought the plight of the homeless to this forum. I hope that each and every member of this Active Rain Network take a stand in support of helping our less fortunate.

Blessings!
