This has been brought to my attention too many times, and now I have to do something about it. We, as American Taxpayers, give how much money to our government each and every year? With that, 'we', as The USA, are feeding, housing, medicating, etc. people of the entire world! I wouldn't have a problem with that at all, if OUR KIDS were taken care of, too!

I know you know what I am talking about, but I don't think you are fully aware of what is really going on in our own country. Each and every day, more and more kids are finding their way onto the treets. OUR streets. The USA! These kids think that the streets are a better way of life for them. They are abused at home, or their parents just can't provide them with food and shelter, because of job losses, (which is yet another thing of ours that is going to other parts of the world!) and numerous other reasons. These kids are literally forced into theft, drugs, and prostitution, just to stay alive!

We have to open our eyes to this. It has to stop! On your way to work in the morning, how many kids to you pass? How about on your way home? Don't you find this a little odd that these kids are on the streets? Shouldn't they be in school, or playing with their friends? These kids don't have friends anymore. Their only 'friends' are the drug-pushers and thugs and countless others who are telling them "come with me, do as I say and you won't die".

These kids don't have a chance on their own! We have to stop this, NOW! It is just getting worse and worse!

You may be thinking "yeah, I know that this is happening, but I am only one person. I can't do anything about it". I cannot begin to tell you how very wrong you are! You, me, and the entire US CAN help these kids! We all know that the children are our future.

What is going to happen if there are no more children? These kids are having babies out there, with no medical attention whatsoever! The viruses are spreading like wildfire, because of the lack of medical attention. They have no food, no clean water, no shelter at all.

We can stop this. We HAVE TO stop this. It is time to take our kids back, and give them a reason for living!

We need our kids, and they need us even more!

The US government has made it impossible for us, as individual citizens, to help these kdis. If we are caught feeding, or helping them in any way, we will be cited! Did you know that? Also, these kids are being pushed further into the streets, because of curfew laws that won't let the homeless sleep in parks, or even near warm buildings. They don't allow panhandling of any kind.

Now, mind you, there was a day when I, myself, thought this was a good thing. I said "good. it's about time they do something to stop this." But, you know what? I was soooo wrong! These kids aren't out there to cause trouble, they are out there to eat! They are out there because they have no place to go, they think no one wants them!

We have to stop this, and we have to do it now! There are groups set up that DO go out into the streets, find these kids, and bring them to shelters. They give them hot food, clean water and clothes, medical attention, get them back in school, give them counseling, get them off of drugs, give them a reason to live again.

Now, I ask you, wouldn't you want to be a part of this? Don't you want to help this cause? I know you do, or you wouldn't be reading this. You just don't know how.

We have to open our eyes, and our hearts, and take control of this situation NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week, but right NOW!
