Help TED HAYES celebrate the 10th Anniversary of DOME VILLAGE in L.A. - on SATURDAY (12/6/03) ^ | December 6. 2003 | RonDog

From a recent e-mail blast that I sent out about this event:

While I generally promote CONSERVATIVE causes, not HOMELESSNESS projects, the two obviously overlap in this case.

One of the objectives of yesterday's event was to force the Republican party to address SOCIAL issues, like homelessness. Many of us believe that the REPUBLICAN party is not only more trustworthy in matters of national security, but also in important local issues - like solving homelessness.

"Faith-based" initiatives, the development of personal responsibility, and the introduction of market-based incentives would go a long way towards improving the lives of MANY who are now in the streets.
It would be WONDERFUL for the Republican party - particularly here in California to earn the support of the black and Latino communities by providing SOLUTIONS to their problems - and to rescue them from the "homelessness PIMPS" of the Democratic machine, who profit from their continued pain, IMHO.

Great work Ron! Just got back into town, sorry I couldn't make it!

[Jessamine]

It was an awesome, feel-great event. It is so good to have an ally who is hands-on like Ted Hayes, so when I want to do something about homelessness, I can! I don't have to figure that the sinkhole of cash that is our local government is our only hope (which meant there was no hope)...

Ted requested that we keep the pressure on local government to follow through with their promises to pursue Ted's plans for increasing dignity, self-sufficiency and a hand UP for the currently homeless. God Bless everyone involved!!!

Al Han, representing Linda Boyd, and the LOS ANGELES Republican Party

Ooops!

That SHOULD have been:

Walt Allen, Mayor of Covina (1st Vice Chair of the RPLAC) was there to represent Linda Boyd.

(Linda was meeting with the State Party yesterday.)

Al Han (Chairman of the Chairman's Circle of the RPLAC Finance Committee) was also at this event, but not to represent Linda.

Sorry for the confusion.

Walt Allen, Mayor of Covina (1st Vice Chair of the RPLAC)

From www.lagop.org:

Mayor :
Walter Allen, III

FWIW, RPLAC = the "Republican Party of Los Angeles County"

Hey, Ron, Dome Village is extremely impressive. I just wish the NIMBYS and the rest of L.A. would wake up and realize that is works!

[StoneColdGOP]

Fantastic event. We were glad to be present with so many great people to support a worthy project.

[LaraCroft]

Sigh.

Ignorance is bliss, they say.

[TheSpottedOwl]

I wish I could have been there. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ted.
