Republicans aren't good enough to be compassionate, even if they are black


Los Angeles Dome Village
A little late with this one.

For Immediate release:
Dome Village Threatened With Closure

After 12 years, and just a few days before Christmas, Dome Village transitional housing community has received a notice of a rent increase of nearly 800% that will force residents back on the street. This issue will be addressed at a Press Conference conducted by Ted Hayes and the Directors of Justiceville/Homeless, USA

WHEN: Friday, December 23rd 2005 at 10.00 AM
WHERE: The Dome Village, 847 Golden Avenue, Los Angeles, CA., 90017
CONTACT: Ted Hayes (213) 892 9065

After learning that Ted Hayes visited a Republican women’s group, landlord and retired attorney Milton Sidley wrote a one-line letter informing Justiceville/Homeless, USA (JHUSA) that he will raise the rent from $2,500/mo plus property taxes to $18,333/mo plus property taxes in late 2006. When asked why he raised the rent, Sidley replied, “This Democrat is tired of supporting Ted and his Dome Village.”

Sidley, knows that Justiceville/Homeless USA cannot survive this punitive increase. The multi-millionaire sent the rent-increase notice two days after reading a Los Angeles Times article that referenced Ted Hayes’ support for President Bush. Sidley, has retaliated against Hayes in a way that will displace 32 men, women, and children.

The directors and residents of Dome Village are making an urgent appeal for public assistance to find another site to build a new village. We cannot allow this innovative project, working to end the cycle of homelessness in the United States, to come to a tragic end.

Another case where the politics are more important than helping people.

Hat tip to Brain Terminal.
