Helping America's Homeless People

[catherinesherard]

Wow. Thankyou for sharing.

[cullgmail]

conservatives would NEVER talk about helping all the homeless people in this country 'cause they only care about helping the wealthiest and greediest people across this land

[AIDAART1]

Homeless people in luxembourg

You can see my video AIDAART1

[AnarchoSyndicalistt]

More candidates need to bring up the homeless issue.

[jacobpsweeney]

this was one of my favorite video's ever I sent it to as many homeless coalitions as I could when it came out. I bet it shows up youtube page one for "homeless" it is a great talk by the great RN

[bodryn]

I remember back to the Truman days. Homelessness was not a problem in this country until Reagan became president. Since then, the problem has persisted. Many of them are veterans. But it's popular to blame the problem on drugs and mental illness.

[TrenyScotch]

If everyone here would refer to homeless people to one person that could use our help it ewould change America, maybe even the world. Most American people without a home are people with mental illnesses and they couldnt keep there job because of that illness. Most homeless people are homeless are homeless not because they are lazy or just want to give up. They are homless because they need help and we should gve it to them. Hopeless people have the same dreams, and they are human like us.

[13desdemona]

In Germany is this called " Hartz 4"!

[13desdemona]

Ha, Ha!

[MrQuoluxducit]

WHITE OUT - back to EUROPE and pay all the BLACKS to AFRICA .... leave US alone and our NATION - you GYPSIES and INVADERS !

[yammyspeed13]

@MrQuoluxducit You can't go back to a place you never been.

[photon1138]

I am absolutely on board with Reagan's comments -- people are where they are as a result of the choices they make. This liberal socialist pap comprises a line of thought that consistently places blame for poor outcome outside the individual. The shiftless, careless, lazy, bums are homeless courtesy of their poor choices -- and continuing a line of behavior abhorent to all persons that live a life of rational self interest. I do not spit on bums -- they spit on themselves. Cheers.

[aegisforex]

That may have been true in the past, but things are changing. I've seen more homeless engineers, accountants, and college graduates in general than I've ever seen in my life. I know a middle-aged mechanical engineer who was recently laid off and has been unable find a job. He has been living in his car for the last 4 months and doing day labor for $10/hr.

Only when the elite stop sending the jobs to Chindia, will these issues be resolved.

[ducklamb1]

its nov.2009,im preparing to b homeless,unemployment benefits run out soon,already lost home,savings(2 kids in college)rent a room,lost everything.just giong to start walking,no place to go.probably walk towards warmer weather.50 years old now,5 years military,21years on job that i lost.if u see me walking down the highway,please run me over or shoot me.

[wolftreetree]

@ducklamb1

God bless you, I hope things turn around for you.

[shurlocksam86]

One out of 50—or about 1.5 million—American children are homeless each year, according to a 2009 study by the National Center on Family Homelessness.

[fuckoffrudolph]

i have a nader teacher and he has 3sousand chins

[anders548]

lol fuckoffrudolph

[xxSCORPIONxx87]

if ur spending 14 MILLION dollars an hour on the war then your rich enough to screw the war and give homeless people homes for free or very cheep

[illcedric]

@Communist2012 - Co-sign, bless this man.

Some of my best memories was volunteering at my uncle-in-law's church in Mexico, to help bring food to the homeless. Like... 15 years ago but I remember it like yesterday.

If the flu outbreak someway-somehow escalates, I'd love to see what I can do.

[Communist2012]

People who help the homeless are the true heroes of the world

Fuck the Politicians and Bankers

[2bmarco]

I am a disabled homeless man who dosent drink or drug and I dont recive social security yet, my children are hungry. I also make lamps w/ live fish in them, occasionally selling one, the state of Texas may be trying to take my children. What can I do?. Trying to keep it legal. HOMELESS & HUNGRY

[alieco]

That comment made no sense at all... "you live on your a fucking guest here bitch your ignorant" Whats that supposed to mean?... Please try and use proper English if your going to insult someone.

[alieco]

If I dont want to recycle I dont have to... Stop talking like a dictator.

[DragonovSVD]

in order to clean the house you must first take the trash out to have room to work or else it continues to get in the way.

now sort out the trash and recycle properly which create jobs and teach everyone to do so.

[chigullseen]

If homeless people quit smoking, drinking and doing drugs then they can afford housing.

[equandodominatio]

but i have to object on the 'hungry' in America? Do you have ANY idea of how much service you get when you go to buy anything at the grocery store? you get yrs worth of service. take beef for example. it's not just pulled out of the cafeteria's ass. it's raised by ranchers, sold to feedyards, then slaughterhouses, and finally commercial grociers. they probably profit $400 a head per cow you eat. so there's yrs worth of nourishment that goes into america's food supply, the same with grain..

[equandodominatio]

when the gov spends 14 mill an hr on a war, i can't feel guilty for spending a dollar a day.

[kfaslf]

its the homeless person fault for being to lazy to find a job or go to school.

[fuzzymode]

I was homeless and working full-time at one point in my life....Working full-time, that is, until my boss found out that I was homeless and then he fired me. Lazy?....No kfaslf not lazy. Poor maybe....and living check to check most definitely. At this point in my life I am still quite low income but will be finishing up my undergrad studies at university after which time I will then enter into the graduate program this summer as I have been accepted into it as of this last Thursday.

[funkeekidd]

homelessness is a sign of failure, not the failure of the individual but the failure of society and government

[tohaatndsu]

One of the few politicians whom I respect.

[Lichele1]

Although I supported Cynthia McKinney's campaign, I truly can identify with this video as a homeless Katrina survivors.

[CoalitionforHomeless]

The face of homelessness really is changing - families with children are now the fastest growing segment of the homeless population.

To meet real families that are enduring poverty and homelessness, check out our video.

-1 Obama for each one of your votes :D

[sergiovontrudhe]

Don't waste your vote on an election that will be a blowout, vote your conscience, vote NADER!

[dap106]

i ONLY WISH THAT A MAN OF NADER'S QUALITIES, COMPASSION AND EXPERIENCE WOULD RUN THIS COUNTRY!

[doglvr307]

i agree 100%. we need some1 like Nader.

[artofdanu]

i totally support and believe in you! Ralph,Matt and team!-government funded skill training of choice and collecive accomidation and accessable affordable private accomidation and ownership by trade!( currency or service!)

[artofdanu]

i totally support and believe in you! Ralph,Matt and team!

[merlintouch71]

Ross P and Tom Laughlin would have been good to. Too bad the "machines" are just too powerful. Why is it that indepenents are not invited to debates? $

Obama is the best of he or mcbush.

Remember that helping the poor is considered "socialism". With that said, is it really so bad?

[woodyaan]

Yes, (about Reagan) a cruel man with smile- I used to be a USSR citizen. We used to have economy, happiness, life (communist totalitarianismis a propaganda)..He bribed the criminals and they destroyed the society rampaging it, killing and lootingno one even asks, what was the real plan behind of destroying the wall?. it was a stolen GOLD,it was again- annihilation of ordinary people. I came here (USA) I see the Communism in its even worse formAtheism, Satanism, FEAST of Rich!

[internetaccount122]

Isn't the USSR atheist?

[woodyaan]

If R.Nader gives the human dignity back to homelesses and people who die in Palestine and Iraq- he in fact gives back to every each of us our human dignity, the national dignity of USA killed by 'party' leaders, who will NEVER be our nation's leaders in whole.

[Kold2market]

Yes! I believe Ralph NADER is our BEST CHOICE for president! and I'm VOTING NADER/Gonzalez!

[You gotta vote your conscience...and not fall into the Duapoly's trap of voting for a lesser of 2-evils - that's how they maintain their grip on power, by offering 2 parallel candidates that either way will keep their status quo]

FIGHT BACK - let's kick these Corporate Lobbyists OUT of WASHINGTON!

VOTE NADER/Gonzalez 2008

[cheater1092]

i like ralph nader, he really is the type of president we need.

Although, i voted for obama because i live in this battleground state of ohio and i do not want to see mccain in office at all.

[dlix]

haha

Go give up your Xbox and high speed internet if you thinkhomeless should have everything handed to them.

[phaloxxx]

the issue of the games is not what effects the homelessness its the sheer glutteny and unwillingness to even HELP our fellow man, this is whats causing americas down fall, idiots like you

[scaatyz4]

you go Ralph. Our numbers are growing.

[sergiovontrudhe]

i'm voting for him!

[PumpkinLordJames]

You already have my vote!

[WOQW22]

typical arabian person

they think they are the smartest ppl in the world

ugh...

[morgenshmorgan]

I think that such comment is not deserved by Nader. First of all, he is the only one of them who has a solid education and scientific career, without any help from Affirmative Action as Obama and his woman with big dirty mouth, and not as McCain who finished 894 of 899 0f his course. (Bush is of the same branch of knowledge). We really NEED professors, not villans, as presidents. Look where we are today.

[Zoomshorts]

The problem with Mr. Nader, is that he thinks, and thinks for ALL people. He just dislikes the fat cats who want more for giving less.

I have always liked an intelligent man. I still write-in Pat Paulson, because while dead, he represents more of us than he ever knew.

[concern4civility]

Writing in for Paulson? What would the world look like today for all the nonprofits, green jobs etc. if disgruntled voters could have seen there is a dif betw. Gore & Bush, Rep/Dem? Too bad Gore & Dems not perfect enough, eh? Please don't waste your vote this time. Obama is an inspired leader. Why not bring change by working local & not make your precious vote a protest this year. If McCain gets in, further erosion of our rights make it more likely there will be no choice in the future.

[Executor416]

Change? He voted for the bailout... not inspiring enough.

[sqharawa]

Change? He voted for the renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act and the FISA Bill... definitely not inspiring enough.

[donatefreedom]

go Nader!!

[jmusker54]

not allowing him in the debates is the key. but what do you expect from a bunch of defens-contractor-owned msm and their handmaidens, the congress. also, every step back from our present track by president obama will be greeted by howls of protest. that is, if the secret service doesn't have him executing a hairpin turn in an open car in a canyon of buildings. how come right wingers never get their fucking heads blown off?(note to secret service: i am a pacifist and have never owned a gun.)

[jacobpsweeney]

digging this video. more emotion in this speech that an entire roast featuring the twins

[usedtobesupermom]

My comment yesterday was directly to

WKaliber1's comment about the poor & homeless,

just in case there is any confusion as to who my statement was directed to.

[WKaliber1]

fuck you redneck

Nader gets my vote

[travelfar22]

Nader has compassion as his record has shown.

It's horrible the RepubliCrat$ don't care!

The-Writing-Is-On-The-WALL $treet BailOUT!

The Bailout is taxation without representation or consultation!

> Obama and McCain voted for the bailout!

> Democrat/Clinton deregulated and caused this mess.

> Republican/Bu$h blank check bails the crooks out.

Millions of Americans have no health care but, RepubliCrat$ partY throw money away into the Wall $treet $peculator gambler void!

[NaderColorado]

nobody has worked on all issues, like Ralph Nader, water air health domestic and foreign issues on economic and security concerns, the list goes on and on - the best American for the last 45 years, the finest choice for President in half a century

[DreamIDo]

I love this guy.

[merqurial]

I'm glad that Nader addressed the arrogance of Reagan. The lies that Reagan benefitted the United States as a whole and is a President to be imitated can't be refuted soon enough.

[AINTMYAMERICA]

Keep in mind many of the homelss are ex-soldiers. SO we hear this usless propaganda about "supporting" the troops, yet when they come home as drug addicts or parapalegics, we leave them on the streets. Thomas jefferson, writing to the British king George in the declaration of independence, stated"You have rendered the miltary independent of an SUPERIOR to the CIVIL POWER". ISn't that what we see in AMerica today? millions of homeless people yet we have a $500 billion military budget.

[2PartyFascistState]

i agree with ralph nader. we should help the poor by making the rich give up a portion of their salary. Its disgraceful how we even have vietnam and iraq vets on our streets when they should be rewarded for doing their duty. This country needs someone like ralph nader, and we need him now!

Nader/Gonzalez 08!

[WKaliber1]

fuck the homeless and the poor, its their own fault theyre that way

McCain - Palin 08

[AINTMYAMERICA]

Mccain-palin? lol! Yeah "fuck the homeless and the poor" people of AMERICA you say? Yet you want to pay for IRaqi healthcare, Bridges, roads, prisons, job programs, small biz programs, and other foriegn aid boon doggles around the world. YOure a FOOL with the thinking skills of a TWIG. WHy would any person who beleives in PEace, NAtional soveriegnty, BALANCED BUDGETS, CIVIL LIBERTIES vote for a Socialist warmonger like john mccain? WHy you moron? Didnt he just vote for COrporate Bailout?

[WKaliber1]

MCCain will win cause Obama is a terrorist

[MSBetaTester]

typical racist

[WKaliber1]

fuck you liberal

[arnaithir]

WKaliber1: Nader is not Obama, and Obama is not a terrorist anyway.

[usedtobesupermom]

I truly hope that you WILL EXPERIENCE firsthand HOMELESSNESS & POVERTY!!!!!!! The rich get rich on the backs of the poor & middle class!!!!!!!!! It's NOT their fault. It

comes from GREED & the morons in power that think like you! Why don't you serve in the military? & if you comeback alive, but injured

and end up on the street, will you think it's you're fault? Try walking in someone else's shoes before you make such an idiotic statement!

[darktrayu2]

Theft of the 2008 Election Part 2 <---watch this vid very important.

[Slorginvader]

What did Reagan say about hungry people?

"Yeah some people like the...."

I can't really hear this very clearly...

[sagekat3]

A presidential candidate talking about the homeless - about damn time.

This is an issue you will never hear McCain and Obama addressing.

[paul8kangas]

Set is an unnamed country, this psychological thriller dares to take on issues of political repression under Obama. When author Sean Pen is promised corporate promotion of his new movie, in exchange for his teaching at an exclusive institute. At this think tank, Sean eventually realizes that for him, as well as for all the other progressives who worked to elect Obama, that he meets there, escape is not an option. The corporate operation seeks to reprogram these thinkers into puppets of the

[paul8kangas]

Sean and the other try to escape, but discover that just by voting for Obama, they have brain washed themselves so deeply into the new fascism, that they cannot escape.  This movie presents a glimpse into an internal critique of limitations on freedom of expression and how voting is a form of self brain washing.

[sarahaslocum]

.. to not factor in the whole "Alien Question" is to misunderstand everything... playlists of user EYEZBBACK

[whoo689]

Very rarely does free trade truly work in the interests of BOTH societies. We have 'free trade' with Japan, supposedly, but Japan blocks lots of our exports, while at the same time we're IMPORTING tons of things like Japanese electronics and cars.

[whoo689]

Even though I'm only 21, I know my history, and I'll never forgive Johnson for getting us in the Vietnam War and Nixon for not getting us out until VERY late. I can never forgive Reagan for being such an asshole and still claiming, with a smile on his face, that everything was a-ok. I can never forgive Clinton for all his interventionist, unconstitutional, bullshit "peacekeeping" missions. I can also never forgive him and Gore for NAFTA.

[whoo689]

Bill Clinton could've had the foresight to see what labor leaders and workers had seen yeras before NAFTA's inception: It would do us no good. But he decided to ignore those pleas and kept claiming "Everything's gonna be alright! They're just exaggerating the effects." Well, Clinton, how do you feel about NAFTA NOW?? Do you still think it's a good idea or a total blunder? And what about Al Gore? Does HE still think it's a good idea, esp. when he was referring to Smoot-Hawley in debates?

[whoo689]

Free trade only works when the rules are fair, and it's between countries that are similar in economic and class structure, like Canada and America. Trade agreements between two VERY disparate countries in economic strength or structure do not work. It only breeds tension.

We need fair trade. Laissez-faire didn't work in the U.S. economy, and it sure as hell doesn't work in the global economy.

[whoo689]

If this country doesn't wake up real soon, we're finished. Hell, one could say we've already been finished for the last 40 years, esp. with the rise of the New Right, which has fucked up our democracy and the Republican Party in ways unimaginable to guys like Nelson Rockefeller, wealthy Republicans who actually cared about more than the upper class. Yes, they did exist at one point.

[whoo689]

When Johnson took power after Jack Kennedy's death, this country was never the same. The last truly great pres. was JFK. Clinton was ok, better than Bush, but he still was a far cry from 'one of the best.'

[80jvc88]

Great clip.

Ralph has made some beautifully poignant statements about our becoming a humanitarian superpower.

I love you Ralph Nader!

vote Nader/Gonzalez 2008

[KARIN094]

The bottom line is Ralph Nader will point America in the direction we need it to go. Corporations have had a 99.9% success rate in keeping Nader out of the news, out of the debates, even sending police officers after him when he tried to attend the debates as a citizen.

If Nader had more media attention. If he was allowed to debate. His percentage points would go straight through the roof. This man represents America to its core! The other 2 candidates are on a corporate pony ride!

Vote Nader!

[gluck7104]

love, Love Him, LOVE HIM!!! This man demonstrates Practical wisdom. No false promises! Did I say I LOVE him.......

Someone who is not all about the dollar going in his pocket. This is why they won't let him debate. These other two parties already know the questions there going to answer. A man who can talk without a piece of paper in front of him.If America want's a chance and a life for their children and grandchildren this is your man. Go RALPH NADER......

[schooltrashers]

This is why voting for Nader makes a huge difference. The man is a genius.

[norsehorse]

Thanks to my peer who asked the question, since I could not attend the UVM event this go around. Was there in 2004 when RN gave a speech then & I raised the concern and question during the Q&A period at the time. Thanks Ralph!

[rapzeh2]

the shit that's happening in this world make me feel a conspiracy theorist

go Nader !

[xExUxBxExRx]

I think if you look into it,a lot of these so called 'Conspiracy Theory's' are not really Theory's at all,but come from truth.

[undiesinabunch]

MN Senator Norm Coleman (R) is a Freemason! He was made a Mason at sight (normal requirements waived) in 2003 by then GrandMaster of Masons in Minnesota, Neil Neddermeyer.

MN Senator Paul Wellstone (D) was killed in a plane crash shortly before the 2002 election.

George W had convinced Norm to oppose Wellstone.

George W is associated with the JFK Jr. plane crash of 7/16/99 and father George HW is associated with the 11/22/63 assassination of JFK by conspiracy theorists.

[undiesinabunch]

Ralph Rocks!
