    Mammon, their false god of avarice, says,
    their 'final solution', extinction,
    to steal everyone's everything,
    can't be stopped, notseeism will rule.

    "...We(e),..." bay, nay, you will be separated from
    the State, as the Constitution dictates, the people
    will rise again, your treason will end, Oyate.

    Somatic revolution, each one's foci of attention
    solutioning with all life, betwixt Earth and Sky,
    evincing to be alival, not survival, lifting sights,
    inspiring visions, meditations, actions, sweats to Sundance.

    While we look to the 7 th generation, with our climate crisis strike,
    starting 9-20-19 and 'the Green New Deal', we also mournfully remember
    'Wounded Knee', 12-29-1890, where 300 Native Americans were exterminated.

    Most of them were women, kids, a root of our king-kong sized terrible-two's
    current war on kids, mostly Latinos. I would fly just for a day, as a mayfly,
    the Beauty Way, if I were more me, rather than as long as an eagle flies,
    selling out, destroying, killing. Viva la evolucion. Wakan Tanka.

  2. Sample letter to Senators: On housing, I support: An amendment by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) to prevent HUD from moving forward with its cruel proposal to force mixed-status immigrant families to separate or face eviction and, in worst cases, homelessness; Any amendment to prevent HUD from eliminating anti-discrimination protections for transgender people experiencing homelessness and seeking shelter; Amendment #1021 offered by Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) that would require carbon monoxide alarms in certain federally assisted housing; Amendment #1023 offered by Senators Tina Smith (D-MN) and Patty Murray (D-WA) that would allow owners of properties financed through USDA Section 514 and 515 loans to extend affordability provisions an additional 20 years; Amendment #1142 offered by Senators Smith, Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Jon Tester (D-MT) prioritizing maintenance of USDA rural housing properties through capital repairs, staffing provisions, and enforcement; Amendment #1001 offered by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) to require HUD to transfer project-based rental assistance contracts upon termination to other housing providers; Amendment #1006 offered by Senator Shaheen calling on Congress to create a tax incentive to encourage owners of manufactured home communities to transfer properties to nonprofit organizations and residents to help preserve affordable homes; Amendment #1125 offered by Senator Menendez extending the availability of certain Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery funds; and Any amendment to increase investments in affordable housing for low-income households, without reducing other HUD funding. As well, I oppose: Any amendment to reduce funding for HUD programs, including amendment #1019 offered by Senator Paul. Amendment #1076 offered by Senator Michael Enzi (R-WY) calling for an interagency review identifying fragmentation, duplication, and overlap among federal housing assistance programs and recommending methods to eliminate duplication. Thanks for your time.
