Martin Luther King was a community organizer, so does that mean he was an agitator? I can't believe people like yourself can actually respond with such comments.

The only objective is laziness and more government money for losers to support their drug and alcohol habits. The American people have no sympathy for you guys, and rightly so! If I were you I'd pick up my but and start looking for work: gardening, dishwashing, cleaning, etc. There a lot of goverment programs that these people could avail of to train or re-trin themselves. Go get a job man!!

AS a direct result of his organizing ,this weekend, an Open Source Computer Training I am hosting at the convention center will have skid row residents there in attendance learning how to build Drupal Websites at the Drupalcampla. Once again ,thank you General Jeff... It was General Jeff's strength that inspired and propelled me to go forward with this although I lacked the confidence and was afraid that because I lived in skid row it would be a deterrence for others to want to participate. There are going to be well over 280 attendees that have RSVPED from all over the world for this free training and the best of the best Drupal Developers will be there training at the different tracks.

HE does what he does without expectation of remuneration. He has my back. I worked for 7 years on getting the DASH bus for skid row with the council offices. I have been sick a lot with an autoimmune illness that is slowly killing me and he was out with fliers about the Central City East Dash Bus? I am weeping as I write this. It will be up to the strength of this skid row community to keep that bus working as it is a pilot to see if people will ride it. Thank you General Jeff. General Jeff was the first candidate that ran for the seat he holds on the neighborhood council I was enthusiastic about and he called me his campaign manager. Being one of the founders of the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council,I never ran for that position because it was important to have actual residents other than myself networking and speaking to have us here be able to speak for ourselves. This community is doing that now. This community is saying that we have individual voices that can also be heard. We also have a person that we can speak through collectively. Someone who can work well with all people. AS a latino I am inspired by Jeff's work in the community. HE has spoken with me and we have gone on those late night walks together and he listens and is not afraid to debate, console, empathize , and give advice. HE is a great sounding board. He keeps me real and he keeps my eyes set on the future and not the right now when I get impatient . I am proud to call General Jeff my friend and I am proud he is a proud member of the skid row community. I am a combat veteran of the first gulf war and I have to say General Jeff is a true warrior for our community and a strength we can lean on. God Bless Him!!!!! He gives me emotional Strength because I witness his emotional resilience. General Jeff is the epitome of what is right with America. HE does what he does without expectation of remuneration.
