8. awesome

I hope he won't be upset if castro gets him housing when hrc is in the whitehouse... and I am all for getting homeless people the right to vote...I don't know what state he is in ...in some states you can use and common cross streets as your address if you have no home...maybe you can get this guy registered to vote UG

16. Um, it's in the video. He lives in L.A. near post office 90026.

So, Castro for VP in your opinion. He'd certainly be an interesting choice.

We'll see.

9. Bernie: "If you think it's too expensive to take care of veterans....."

[John Poet]

10. A national disgrace that our veterans are forced to live in the streets!

Used up then tossed aside by our war machine...

And politicians like Hillary want to promote military adventures that will just make more of them.

20. I hate seeing our local veterans home guys out doing food drives. I always get them something good,

but I don't like that they need to do that.

They are set up outside one of the grocery stores at a table and give you a list of what they can use. Last time I noticed the store brand big cans of oatmeal were wiped out. No doubt people getting them the cheapest thing on the list, but at least they did that.

I also asked one of the guys to email me when they were doing that last time and gave him my address. I'd rather have a heads-up so I can go to Costco and get them something they need and get a better deal.

I'd rather know they had the food covered and were getting donations to buy steaks and some jugs of booze! I'd kick in for that.

21. without doing a damn thing to care fore them when they return.

Hillary is not a politician we can afford.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Awesome!

12. K&R What a great spokesman. I think I will look him up and join him on a weekend. nt

18. Echo Park neighborhood, Glendale Blvd. across from Jack in the Box.

He had another sign up for months, but took it down a few weeks ago. The sign with the bold red lettering, went up the day after the NH primary.

[Live and Learn]

29. Yep, Glendale Blvd and Effie st. Already looked it up.

Going to Nevada this weekend but maybe the next I can go campaign with him for a while.

32. I see his set up occasionally when I drive by. I've seen

him only a few times, and that was because his original large Bernie sign caught my eye a few months ago. I imagine he wouldn't stray too far from his outfit. There's a lot of homeless persons in the nearby vicinity. Less than a mile away, a recently completed condo complex sells units starting at $800,000. That's spitting distance to the Glendale Fwy (2) in a really rundown section of the Echo Park district. There is an crazy mix of "haves" and "have nots"in this area.

[Live and Learn]

33. Agreed. The other day I saw an entire tent city right across the street from tall,

rather nice business buildings in LA. The contrast was stunning and sad.

[Tom Rinaldo]

13. Profoundly moving. n/t

[Art_from_Ark]

14. I hope he gets a place to live

[polly7]

15. What a good man.

Despite his own hardships, he's thinking of all the things that will help everyone else.

Edward does rock.

[Enthusiast]

17. Kicked and recommended!

[geardaddy]

19. What a wonderful video!

Thank you!



Plus, I love his dogs. They remind me of our little Chihuahua/Pug

[avaistheone1]

23. Such a touching story

and a very articulate man. I hope everything works out for him.

[mindwalker_i]

24. Rock on! What a great person

[magical thyme]

25. wtf! the VA took away his pension?!?!?!

this is breaking my heart

What a good man he is. This is not acceptable...fuck the status quo. This is simply not acceptable!

[mhatrw]

27. Awesome guy. I hate that he has to live on the street. nt

[rbrnmw]

28. Is there a way way we could get this guy off the street before the election??

I hope someone will help him ASAP

[Arazi]

30. This endorsement is the best of all.

HRC'S "important " people endorsements are starting to hurt her.

She's establishment.

Regular people know it and know who isn't

[denbot]

31. I get a "This video is private" message..

34. I do too. n/t
