Homeless & Helpless
We complain about not having the newest shoes,clothes,or technology out there. We don't appreciate how blessed we are to have a stable job and have a roof over our heads. We don't realize how important the support of family can be. We live in a society where people are selfish. We don't appreciate the things we possess. We always want to be competing with others. We always want to impress and be different from the average. We are never contempt in what we own. It disappoints me that their our million of homeless people out there just trying to free?. They don't ask for much. They just want to walk around the city without being discriminated. They want to stop being harassed by the authority. They just want to feel free. Sadly, discrimination against the homeless continues to be a major issue across the United States.
I want the residents in California to understand the struggle these homeless people have been dealing with for an enormous portion of their lives. We have to unite and help these people so one day they can reconstruct their lives and be happy once again. There's been several steps that have been getting closer and closer to this objective. For example there's been spokesmen bringing up the “Hopeless Bill of Rights”. Its plan is to reach the states of California, Colorado, and, Oregon. The goals of this bill is to make the homeless feel less like a criminal wondering the streets and more of a free citizen looking for a goal in life. It would give them the rights to move and wonder around the streets. It would also include many other basic rights that are self explanatory- are these rights self-explanatory? One aspect of the bill deals with the freedom to exchange food in public- is that something we know of or even knew wasn't allowed? Does it mean to give someone a sandwich? And consider what your next point is in your next paragraph! It's about food. We can help these people if this bill gets drafted to the state legislature.
-is this enough info to convince your readers to advocated for the bill?

Did you know theirs cities across the United States that ban people from giving free food to the homeless? It’s ridiculous how these laws had the ability to be passed.
-this could easily be its own section regarding legislation currently in place here in California that limits the freedoms and/or abilities of those who are homeless. Don't forget to keep your focus to California and not the nation as a whole. Does this plan exist here?
Many homeless I've encountered with don't ask for money. Many of them aren't addicts or alcoholics. Many of them deal with mental issues. Many of them are military veterans. Many don't have a family to rely on. My question is what gives us the right to discriminate and judge others by their physical appearances? Just because we have better opportunities and lifestyles than them doesn't give us the right to make them feel like their nothing. We don't know the struggles they go through on a daily basis. We don't know what caused them to have a breakdown.
-you are circling around stereotypes here and also the way that stereotypes effect how we interact and support those who are homeless
- inform your reader about negative stereotypes- what are they and where do they come from, these negative representations of those who are homeless? to what extent are we effected by these ideas/images?
Helping the homeless is not our responsibility, but was it their responsibility flying over to a foreign country and fighting for our country?
-this is its own idea. I'd suggest either developing this into a section with more information/ideas regarding the question: whose responsibility is it, or remove this.
I’m not assuming all homeless are veterans but a majority of them are. Lets help the veterans. Lets help the homeless. Let's make a change. Lets help contribute to our society and help the needy. Many of them pray for a better life. They don't feel the love or support they once had.

The state of California can establish many things to help contribute towards the homeless. We can establish several shelters in populated areas like Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento etc. We can establish food drives perhaps twice a week. All these things can help. Free medical consultations to psychologists would help the mentally ill and free counseling towards the addicts would be a great goal.
-so do none of these things exist? Look into the veteran hospitals and shelters here locally in LB- don't they offer these services? Don't offer a solution that is already out there without referencing it in some way- do the ones that exist now not do a good job? are we not aware of them...
