Hope you will help us brothers and sisters in trying to get this proposed emergency Phoenix law stopped. At first ... it's easy to say this is no big deal but it is what's really going on beneath the surface that we should ask ourselves why ? And then ... we discover that there are many reasons why this is a horrible law and the one reason for opposing it on the grounds that Phoenix is trying to hide the embarrassment of hunger and homelessness from nation and the world are just one reason ... the other being "Freedom of Speech." The city of Phoenix is conflating in their emergency ordinance traffic/pedestrian accidents.
Yes ... they're trying to be sneaky and it will probably be popular with people as most of us get annoyed but ...now that I am guilty for saying that ...it's a bad proposed law because I have to ask myself is it really about danger to pedestrians or not having to answer to the rest of the nation and world why we have poor people begging for food on our streets and yes... I know the usual arguments ...they're are on drugs (some probably are) and they're lazy (prob not for most).
This is just to cover up hunger and untreated mental problems in the city of of Phoenix not to mention the slippery slope of limiting our freedom of speech just like the other excuse they use called loitering. They tried to do this to Occupy as well. I will be protesting this in the strongest non violent ways.
Also ... find it funny that the Arizona Republic who has a permanent office within Phoenix city hall didn't inform the public about this yet ...just a coincidence ?
