That’s because lawmakers don’t hear from us.

All they care is, “Well, let’s get one leg up on XX Republican or XX Democrat lawmaker on how tough we can be on crime because they are weak and they haven’t thought about this issue or that to protect children”, and since that mango fruit is hanging very low, it will be easy cake”. In their clustered minds, they think that any and all suffering they barrel down on our families, is due to our own fault and decisions made. They have the intention to “serve and protect” but, who can protect our families, who can protect them from being living in a car, from sleeping in a bathroom floor, from sleeping in a tent out deep in the woods when is cold or hot?…who can protect our families if a vigilante comes to knock on our doors demanding our heads so they stuff us in a suitcase?….Yes, I truly hope that one day we can feel less oppressed, less punished, less restricted. Just like MLK said….” I have a dream…”….well, I have a dream too….the dream of being free from these chains, the dream to not worry of going to prison for some little technical crap, the dream of traveling to places with my family, the dream of not having anymore shame of being ashamed, the dream of working any work I am qualified to perform, the dream to just live, to really, truly live, to be alive, and to truly feel alive.

I own two rental units in the Fort Myers area. Needless to say, they are registrant friendly. I am not independently wealthy, however, so I cannot sponsor someone. I need them to have a job (or fixed income) that pays reasonably well. (If I were rich, then I would be much more flexible.)
Anyway, if anyone needs a place, one of the units is open right now. It is an efficiency cottage suitable for one (preferably) or a couple. It is small, but it has a full bathroom with standup shower and a kitchen with an 8 cubic foot refrigerator/freezer, a full sized electric range and a single kitchen sink. It is in pretty good shape and freshly painted. Clean and cozy! It’s in a beautiful, private wooded area yet within walking distance of supermarkets, convenience stores, drug stores etc. And there are 2 city bus stop about a 3 minute walk away also. If you need a place, email FAC and they can pass your info to me, and I will be in touch.
