A hero of mine. HUGE. I wrote about him in my book "Magic Diary" and fell even more in love with this remarkable character. And his brother - who re-upped in Vietnam so that Arthur could stay here and become the legend his is today. Remarkable family of heroes.

Rumor has it that there's a new “rule” that near a new homeless shelter - people can’t stand with a sign any more. News flash - no shelter or person who doesn't like sad signs can eliminate the 1st amendment. People are hurting. Help if you can. Don't want to help. Then mind your own business.

Hearing from people who have run for office and lost may not be what you want right now. But, I know how hard uphill battles are. Especially when you're fighting for people you care about - even though you don't know them. Thanks for running and talking truth.

Poverty causes crime - including the crime of becoming an ICE agent. (oh sure, some are in it for the bloodlust, but many are option-less folks who want what they thought was the American dream and they're getting it by denying that dream to others. Horizontal hostility - oldest trick in the book).
