Why: 3,000 U.S. troops have died in Iraq. We must bear witness to this tragic milestone, even though many people are beginning their celebrations of the new year. And when we do take action on this occasion, we must remind others that hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children, women and men have also died in this outrageous war and occupation. Our call to end this war and to bring all the troops home now must be heard in every corner of the country! The killing must stop.

On September 25, 2003, the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition (SNRPC) established the Committee on Homelessness (CoH) to ensure that there are adequate resources and supportive services available to assist those most in need in Southern Nevada. The CoH is comprised of representatives from the city of Las Vegas (Orlando Sanchez), Clark County, Clark County School District, State of Nevada, law enforcement and area service providers.

City Council Meeting: Wednesday, January 3, 2007 at 9 am
Item Description: Report on the status of the SNRPC Committe on Homelessness
regional effort - All Wards
The SNRP created the Committee on Homelessness (CoH) to address regional homeless issues. All jurisdictions are required to contribute to the CoH regional budget based on population. The city of Las Vegas contributed $244,680 for FY 2005-2006 and $276,760 for FY 2006-2007.
The CoH projects include:
-- Implementation of the region's ten point plan
[ http://www.accessclarkcounty.com/social_service/homeless_default.htm ]
-- Inclement weather shelters - provided for homeless persons during extreme hot or cold weather conditions
-- Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) - a HUD mandated system designed to track services provided to homeless individuals in an effort to avoid duplication of services and improve the coordination efforts of service providers
-- Homeless Street And Shelter Count - mandated by HUD to count the number of homeless persons at a certain point in time
-- Public Awareness Campaign - the goal is to educate the community regarding the issue of homelessness with the result being a mobilized community will around homelessness and promotion of community and corporate investment into the Homeless Trust Fund. PSAs and the website, helphopehome.org , have been developed.
-- AB580 Funds - a $4 million biennium granted by the state legislature to address homelessness in the southern region through the provisions of services. This has provided funding for several capital projects and programs (called Transition from Homeless)

Rules for whites, by Saab Lofton
Rules for whites
Article By Saab Lofton - Dec 22 2006
"White folks only want to hear the good shit: life eternal, a place in God's Heaven. But as soon as they hear they're getting this good shit from a black Jesus, they freak. And that, my friends, is called hypocrisy.
A black man can steal your stereo, but he can't be your savior."
-- Kevin Smith's Dogma
The aforementioned line illustrates just how important it is for whites to constantly be exposed to positive black role models — be they a historically accurate Jesus of color or stellar fictional characters such as Captain Sisko from Star Trek, Mace Windu from Star Wars or the Green Lantern John Stewart from DC Comics. If black saviors (as opposed to the clowns or beasts blacks are usually depicted as being) are not highly visible to the masses, there will be a complete disregard for black life.
Two atrocities recently occurred that proved this to be the case: On the west coast, the concept of blacks performing on cue like the minstrels of old was revived in Tempe, Arizona when a cop told a couple of black men they could avoid getting a littering ticket if they improvised a rap song for said cop ... and on the east coast, the villainous NYPD — the same police department responsible for the rape of Abner Louima — murdered 23- year-old Sean Bell en route to his wedding.
All too many whites still fear a future in which they'll lose their strength-in-numbers due to ethnic miscegenation. Oscar winner Halle Berry is half black and half white, but since she clearly looks more black than white, more than enough whites throughout history have acted, voted and invested out of fear of being cosmetically/superficially assimilated. So with any luck, the following list of rules
for whites will save lives and spare us all some grief.
1) Horatio Alger was a child molester. The man who coined the phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" was an admitted pedophile, so don't ever tell a black man to risk getting hit by a car a la Will Smith's The Pursuit of Happyness just to get a job. CREATE JOBS! A Greenpeace version of FDR's New Deal would be a good start. Professor Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States said it best, "While some multimillionaires started in poverty, most did not. A study of the origins of 303 textile, railroad and steel executives of the 1870s showed that 90 percent came from middle- or upper-class families. The Horatio Alger stories of 'rags to riches' were true for a few men, but mostly a myth, and a useful myth for control."
2) Learn to deal with double standards. Just as it's not OK for men to walk into the ladies room, it's not OK for whites to use ebonics with cavalier abandon. If you're directly quoting someone or you've been accepted into the black community the way white rapper Eminem has, fine. Otherwise, act as though you're visiting another country with a different culture. If we were all Americans, there wouldn't be any disparity between blacks and whites insofar as the statistics charting everything from employment to imprisonment ...
3) It's not about equality, it's about respect. Whites need to admit that the current institutional structure of the so-called First World amounts to what is known as white skin privilege. As a result, whites are more powerful than blacks — NOT superior, simply more powerful. A good way to look at it is to imagine whites in the role of Superman and blacks in the role of Batman. They're obviously not "equal" — one has bulletproof skin whereas one is reliant on body armor — but they RESPECT each other. Knowing that Batman is — for all his many skills — a mere mortal, Superman has enough respect for the Dark Knight not to put him in just any ol' situation ...
4) Being called a "conspiracy theorist" is far worse than being called a "nigger." It's inevitable that some blacks might "cry wolf" as it were, but people in pain usually don't protest in vain. White supremacy may be in decline, but it's still very much in power, and blacks have a lot more to worry about than an occasional lynching/cross burning. There's this great quote in the book Whiteout: The CIA, Drugs and the Press: "It is not in the least paranoid for any black person to conclude that since
the late nineteenth century prominent white intellectuals and politicians have devoted much effort to reducing the number of black people by the expedient of sterilization, or selective medical assault, often chastely described as the 'science' of eugenics."
5) The price of liberty is eternal vigilance and when you forget history it repeats itself. This means there will NEVER be a point in which whites will be let off the hook. You'd never ask a Jew to let down his/her guard when it comes to anti-Semitism, so ...
Finally, there must be some consequence to police murders like Sean Bell's, so from now on — every time there's a similar murder — I will personally burn an American flag. I'll close with the words of Brooklyn City Councilman Charles Barron: "Don't ask our people to be peaceful while they are being shot dead."

More Americans hungry,
homeless in 2006: mayors
"More Americans went homeless and hungry in 2006 than the year before and children made up almost a quarter of those in emergency shelters, said a report released on Thursday by the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
...The group estimated 23 percent of requests for emergency food assistance simply went unmet."

WE ARE HOMELESS NOT HELPLESS!
WE ARE HOMELESS NOT HELPLESS!
Written by, "Las Vegas Superbum"
For General circulation
Pass it on.
Greetings from Poverty Flats where we remain strong of spirit and hopeful of a better tomorrow as we lay shivering on the street.
I am writing today in response to the article Out In The Cold which appeared on page 14 [of the Las Vegas City Life] in the 12-7-06 issue.
http://lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2006/12/07/news/local_news/iq_11242615.txt
As usual it was a fairly good article. My specific concern which may be minor is when Phillip Hollon director of Catholic Charities' residential services division states "Lack of awareness of the shelters, their capacities and their programs may also be a factor" for many not being in winter shelter. Tsk Tsk. We are very aware of what is involved and some refuse to play the game because the rules do not even slightly resemble fairness. This point has been emphasized by many brohers who were quoted in this article.
What needs to be clearly understood is that Sisters are not allowed in the shelter and there is nowhere for them to go except the sidewalk when other shelters like Shade Tree are full.
Mr. Hollon conveniently forgets that many of us (myself included) work. Yes, I have a job from 3pm to 9 pm. Since I can't be in two places at once I'm stuck on the sidewalk. If I don't work I don't eat. Mr Hollon and his little army of shelter thugs refuse to make exceptions for us the working poor. If Mr. Hollon is trying to help us; then why does he maintain an obstacle where we have to choose either working or sleeping in his fine flophouse?
Mr. Hollon would like for you the reader and billpayer to believe we are all little children who can't make decisions for ourselves or are addicted to drugs and alcohol. Mr. Hollon, me and mine are not coming into your shelter because you have not made us welcome to do so. Secondly: Since opening I have heard that there are no beds available. Night after night numerous brothers are sleeping on the floor. Third: Since opening I have heard numerous stories about minor incidents of abuse both verbal and physical.
In conclusion, I agree that me and mine choose to sleep on the street. It is
not a choice of free will but one of circumstance. Circumstances created by those who would have you believe that the moon is made of green cheese and that homeless people are helpless.

PRO-WOMAN ANSWERS TO PRO-CHOICE QUESTIONS™
From: "Serrin M. Foster"
Question #9
What about all those kids in foster care that nobody wants?
Many of the children waiting to be adopted are waiting because of legal processes, not a lack of loving homes. There are two million pre-approved American couples awaiting adoption. Two million women want to be mothers right now, and many of them want more than one child, as well as wanting children with special needs.
On a personal note, my father was a foster child. (No pun intended on my last name!)
His father died when he was just a year old, during the Great Depression. My grandmother could not care for him, and so he grew up in an orphanage and later in foster care.
As a little boy he lived through unspeakable horrors until he was rescued by a loving couple.
But you can never tell me that my father's life wasn't worth living. He wasn't the problem. Lack of emotional support and practical resources were the real enemies.
My father was a parenting student. I was born and my sister was on the way. My parents also took care of the childless elderly couple who had taken in my father as a little boy, until those two lovely people passed away.
My father had a powerful presence. Intense, smart, articulate, persuasive. He had a contagious laugh. He was a professor who got standing ovations from his peers as well as students, and was loved by his family and friends.
He put his unique stamp on life. It was “a wonderful life” and, like the movie, many stories would have had different endings (or no beginning) if he had never lived at all.
I am honored to work for Feminists for Life, helping to create a better world, one that welcomes and nurtures children like my dad, who some would label “better off if they had never been born.” A world where parenting students don’t have to choose between their children and their educations. A world where life is championed at its weakest, most vulnerable moments. A world where mothers—and fathers—are honored and supported.
Because women deserve better,

PRO-WOMAN ANSWERS TO PRO-CHOICE QUESTIONS™
From: "Serrin M. Foster"
Question #5
What if she just doesn’t want it?
It’s more complicated than that. We can address each of her concerns working together for peaceful solutions.
Guttmacher Institute statistics show that there are reasons, often financial or emotional, why a woman feels she must have an abortion. We must work toward the systematic elimination of the reasons that coerce women into an abortion.
We oppose abortion in all cases because violence is a violation of basic feminist principles.
Adoption is one way to affirm the early feminists' position on voluntary motherhood. If a woman chooses not to parent, there are a variety of adoption options that she can explore (open or closed, direct or indirect updates with photos). She should know, for example, that agencies in some states offer more comprehensive benefits (for example, compensation for lost scholarships, housing and other living expenses, health care, moving expenses, etc.) to birth mothers.
What if she has every resource and all the support and still doesn't want it?
We don't always know at the beginning how things will turn out. Many women report that their feelings change throughout the pregnancy.
Two-time Emmy award winner and FFL's Honorary Chair Patricia Heaton said, “Women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy also deserve unplanned joy.”
Feminism demands justice for all, especially those most vulnerable.
Women are capable of overcoming the unexpected, and making nonviolent choices. We need to support their life-affirming choices—including adoption options as well as marital or single parenthood.

Questions #6
Don't you respect women enough to allow them to make a choice?
Most women do not have abortions as a matter of "choice," but because they feel they have no resources to support a different choice. A coerced decision is not a free choice—it's a last resort.
We support nonviolent choices—single motherhood, fatherhood, grandparenthood, marriage and various adoption options—along with practical resources and support.
A society that promotes abortion as a “necessity” or “necessary evil” underestimates women and the violence of abortion and disregards what women really want.
If you don't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?
If by “choice” you mean abortion, say it.
All choices aren't equal, but all people are. We reject violence against women and children through abortion, and promote peaceful alternatives that benefit both woman and child.
Feminism has long championed the strength and dignity of women and equality. Women are capable of making the decision to parent or place a baby for adoption.
It's not about trust—it's about condemning violence.
Don't women need to control their own lives?
No one has complete control over his or her life. Once a woman is pregnant, the question is, “What is the best possible nonviolent outcome for her?”
Because women deserve better,

Question #7
So you believe that a tiny speck—a zygote, blastocyst, embryo or fetus—has rights over a woman?
Women aren’t stupid. We know it’s a baby that is growing just like we did in our mother’s wombs. That is why most women who feel they have emotional and financial support don’t have abortions.
I don’t believe in discrimination based on size, age or location. Do you believe that a child has less of a right to exist because he or she is small? Are large or tall people more valuable than small or short people? By that logic, most women would have fewer rights than men!
For years, abortion advocates have been pitting women against their unborn children, dehumanizing the growing child with misleading phrases like “blobs of cells” and “products of conception.”
Fetus is a Latin word meaning “young child” or “young one.” But in practice, fetus has become a clinical, dehumanized term for an unborn child.
Imagine if some group tried to deny medical care for gravidas. Once someone figured out that was the Latin word for pregnant women, the bewilderment would quickly shift to outrage.

Question #8
Isn't feminism about a woman having rights equal to those of a man?
Feminism is much more than that.
As a teen, I remember the electrifying call for equality during the '70's women's movement, and how it challenged and changed the nation. The idea was so compelling it still circles the world.
By definition, equality is a principle extended to all. When one group of people gets their rights at the expense of another, there is nothing equal about it.
The foundation of feminism is built on the basic tenets of nonviolence, nondiscrimination, and justice for all. Abortion is discrimination based on age, size, location, and sometimes gender, disability, or parentage. And it is often the result of a more insidious form of discrimination: the lack of resources and support that pregnant women need and deserve.
As I entered college, the women's movement continued to gain momentum. Cries for equality in the workplace were muffled by the even louder call for "abortion rights" and "pro-choice." You were either pro-woman or pro-baby. As a pro-life feminist, I felt very much alone.
When I found Feminists for Life I knew that I was "home." Then I learned that during the past two centuries, visionary women like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Alice Paul had worked for justice and women’s rights—without choosing between women and children.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton is perhaps the best example of the in-your-face, you-will accept-women-on-our-terms-and-we-are-not-accepting-less suffrage leaders. Stanton, the first champion of women’s suffrage and a mother of seven, said, "When you consider that women have been treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit." [Click here for more early American feminist wisdom.]
http://www.feministsforlife.org/history/index.htm
The early American feminists did not work to replace a patriarchy with a matriarchy. Women have a right to be women in the workplace and in school. Women shouldn't have to pass as men.
When women think they have to lay their bodies down or swallow a bitter pill for an abortion in order to compete in the workplace or make their way in the world—that is not feminism. In addition, abortion has hurt women by diverting feminist attention from other issues, particularly those that help mothers, such as affordable child care, comprehensive health care, and a living wage.
Finally, once a woman is pregnant, she is forever changed, no matter what the outcome—marital, partnered or single parenthood, adoption, abortion, miscarriage or stillbirth.
At Feminists for Life, we refuse to choose between women and children. We refuse to choose between our education and career plans and our families.
As pro-life feminists, our values are woman-centered and inclusive of both parents and children. And like the early American feminists, we are not accepting less.
We say "no" to the status quo. Let's aim for the best by advocating resources and support for women, and protecting both mothers and children from violence. Women deserve better.

From: "Serrin M. Foster"
Question #5
What if she just doesn’t want it?
It’s more complicated than that. We can address each of her concerns working together for peaceful solutions.
Guttmacher Institute statistics show that there are reasons, often financial or emotional, why a woman feels she must have an abortion. We must work toward the systematic elimination of the reasons that coerce women into an abortion.
We oppose abortion in all cases because violence is a violation of basic feminist principles.
Adoption is one way to affirm the early feminists' position on voluntary motherhood. If a woman chooses not to parent, there are a variety of adoption options that she can explore (open or closed, direct or indirect updates with photos). She should know, for example, that agencies in some states offer more comprehensive benefits (for example, compensation for lost scholarships, housing and other living expenses, health care, moving expenses, etc.) to birth mothers.
What if she has every resource and all the support and still doesn't want it?
We don't always know at the beginning how things will turn out. Many women report that their feelings change throughout the pregnancy.

Day & Night Centers or Closing Parks?
December 4, 2006
Rather than debating the character of all homeless people or what they deserve and what they don't deserve, I think (for this article) it would be in the best interest of all to stay focused on the issue of Huntridge Circle Park.
I'm sure that it is possible to come up with a compromise that would be suitable for the homeowners and, the homeless and poor people.
We know from statistics that Huntridge Circle Park and the neighborhood around it has no more crime than any other area of town. We also know that it is unconstitutional to discriminate against a whole group of people because of their financial standing. Thus, you cannot tell homeless people or poor people they cannot use the park.
If someone is commiting a crime, the police should be called and that person should be arrested whether they are homeless or non-homeless.
Homeless and crime is not synonymous. Much of the crime in a one mile radius of Circle Park is against the homeless. And the crime is not committed by the homeless. And most of this violence against the homeless is not even reported.
All homeless people are not dangerous. Most homeless people are not dangerous. In fact, most who I know would be the first to protect your child from danger.
Having said that, I do understand the concern that if there are people sleeping all through the park, you can't have a soccer game. So, how much room do you need to play soccer? I mean, this park wasn't built for soccer games but I'm sure we could designate part of the park for soccer, and the rest of the park for the general public.
One of the biggest problems we have is that homeless people are not allowed on private property and they are not allowed on public property. They are arrested for trespassing while walking through a store parking lot. They are arrested for sitting on a bus bench. They are arrested while sleeping on the grass in the park. How do we expect them to "get a job" when they are continuously being arrested for non-violent offenses? If they are not allowed on private or public property, where do you want them to go? No, they are not going to Utah. And if they don't want to go to the shelters, they do not have to. And they are not going to just disappear.
The neighbors of Circle Park say they do not want the public park to be solely used for social services. I agree. Parks should not be used solely for social services. However, that is where poor people go. And that is where we can find them to offer them a helping hand. The more outreach, the more chance of minimizing homelessness.
Giving someone a sandwich and a drink does not make someone want to be homeless. It gives us a chance to get to know each other, and possibly give them one step up off the street.
If you don't want them in our neighborhood then we have to give them a "somewhat" appealing place to go. More appealing than the park. A place where they can get social services, mental health care, medical care, identifications, job training, affordable housing, food, water, laundry facilities, and a shower. One area of town for social services is not enough for 18,000 homeless people.
It does not matter whether you think they deserve this or not. Out of 18,000 people, if they have access to daily outreach, daily social services, it is quite possible that we might be able to get a good percentage of them off the streets and better their quality of life.
So even though they have a Constitutional right to be in the public parks, if you don't want them in our neighborhood, they must have a suitable, alternative place to go.
For years and even to this day, the City and Metro are conducting homeless sweeps in the Owens and Main Street area. These daily and weekly sweeps are dispersing the homeless throughout the valley and into our neighborhoods. The City says they want the homeless to go to this area of town to obtain social services. The neighbors of Circle Park say they want the homeless to go to the shelters in this part of town.
Well then, if you all want to get them to stay in that part of town, the homeless sweeps must stop. The police harassment must stop. If you expect them to stay in that area of town then the City, County, and State and the shelters need to make that part of town safer for the homeless and poor.
Which brings us to the closing of Circle Park. If the homeless are not allowed to frequent Circle Park, they will be walking through our neighborhoods more often trying to find a warm place to get out of the wind, and a safe place to lay their head.
Closing Circle Park will not get the homeless out of our neighborhood. Only by working together to obtain multiple, safe Day and Night Centers (with trees and grass) with all social services available at each location will we begin to minimize homelessness. These Day and Night Centers need to be located in different parts of the valley: North Las Vegas, Henderson, Green Valley, Summerlin, and the Downtown area of Las Vegas.
If we are to minimize homelessness, we need to break down barriers rather than build more barriers. And continuously passing unconstitutional laws is just making it more difficult for homeless and poor people to get out of poverty.
