if the members of the highest court in a land really do feel that the founding fathers fought to protect our privacy then they have a lot of paperwork and court decisions ahead of them for stuart but that's just my opinion. on marriage in the financial world. developments i mean and stop it only takes no demand to try to get any economic benefit in life there. enough. food. to. the soul. pulls.

the mom or. her. food bowl. and whole game on food. is. ok it we're here in tent city and this tent city is in lakewood new jersey the

camp is about seven years old it's one of the largest tent cities on the east coast of america and it's got about one hundred people here it's very diverse racially diverse culturally diverse all the old reasons of the traditional reasons for homelessness you've got alcoholism yet mental illness you've got other types of addiction you know but now we've got people here just because of economics solely because of economics the cost of housing in this area especially is very high it takes three minimum wage. jobs for a single individual to afford the basic necessities of life if this is public land and we're part of the public and they've created an environment where we can afford a place to live i believe as an american we have a right to camp out or to possess public land and tells something is created.

it might appear that tent city is you know everybody's just you know drinking or you know you know causing problems for each other and we're expecting government handouts that's not the case it's the first line of attack from people who don't like tent city or from people who don't like the homeless the first line get a job that's what that's the line right that's not the case most of the people work here i live full time jobs a lot of people have full time jobs and i still can't afford a home that's why i'm here i'm a overnight clerk there's a shop right about a mile of the road i work overnight stuff and i back. you know i work full time make my paycheck put it in the bank and i save it i still live in a tent i'm not i don't i'm not any sort of government assistance i make too much money. so because i work full time i'm too rich you have to make less than a certain amount of money and it's appends on your household the number of people in your house it's just me i'm not married no kids so for me the money that i make i'm too wealthy i do qualify for food stamps i can get about forty two dollars

a month in food stamps on a sliding scale the maximum for one person is two hundred dollars a month and the minimum i think is about twenty dollars a month depending on how much money you make so because i work full time i'm too rich to get welfare or temporary rent assistance or general assistance where they just give you a check for one hundred forty dollars a month so i'm too wealthy. go figure to wealthy that's my house you see back there i live in a tent i'm too wealthy to get general systems. is i mean this is. this is right this is the way america is supposed to be ok it's it's on ballots you have hardworking upstanding citizens who can afford homes. you know thirty years thirty years we lived in new york with thirty in your family been vegetarian. and we rescue animals we only lived in new york city we spent

tens of thousands of dollars rescue. believe it or not tens of thousands of dollars rescuing birds we if we hadn't done we wouldn't have been home with. what do they call it in this and this you know what any good had security money but i don't regret it because we saved so many wonderful lives here yeah i'm assuming the textile industry or thirty five years and it's just pretty much it's all been outsourced to china the industry was very large and mostly new york based it was just stunning for that bird's friends primarily did some low things to. the furniture. and. i. went up the ladder into china and i was assigned

a rock. in my biggest. business managing like twenty yards you know you didn't pay. your design so millions of dollars lose you see. pennies on the toilet pennies on the don't get it you know literally. to use cheap. light to my boss. like it's. right chang to talk right. so that is. you didn't see. me each of them actually there were three of them they each meet a million can't be here until. just those three honor not counting everything else thinking. i was really quite successful. so that it's you know there's a lot of reasons why people end up in tent city but again you know i i don't ask

any questions when they come down here and they say i have no place to stay you know we'll give them a tent you know just gave give them some basic rules and the fundamental rule is respect your neighbor you know get along with your neighbor and for the most part they they do the community is quite quite good about getting along with each other having a fire burn coming back from it right there let me run through the . good thank you and if you would leave time where he says that's a better him illness i have that right now here you have on this list and i would only reach it just right now i mean i'm at baghdad the family through it thank you for just dabble. in bad ways that's why we're going to get i don't think things are good think you can be all right the hundreds. are.

dead wrong with me. so it's all this good being donated here this comes from a high end warehouse. in a neighboring town a few far from here maybe maybe three miles and what it is is when it gets close to the date you know the expiration date they can't send it out to their people so so they donate they get you know a tax write off you know want to things that they donate so it benefits us to still you know in date very close to date but in date and. it's a true you know tremendous you know benefit for the homeless thing is we good we still don't have a place to live you know which. and those good children it's really true in the people with. child one i'm going to make you feel. pretty much came here because on. the plane we had in the bar when. we went two hundred

dollars short of a one month. for a farm in the event that us all of this stuff got taken away from us and everything and we wound it up here in every sense and then your system has been a blessing to listen he opened up his arms so us and in a number wanted to. make a career of being homeless. you know those of people who i get into in the like in this what they want to do because it's free we're going to pay were there no worries i would if you if you can vicariously so lively stairsteps good thing for me personally i like stability unless. you listen to the townspeople as

a cross section. come out it never happened they have no idea what i'm bringing like sometimes. so a lot of times will get you know things donated by companies. so it's better to just whatever i get i just give out freely i never charge he's. a lot of these people especially the spanish the mexican fighting nation a lot of them are living in overcrowded conditions. slumlord condition was a bad plumbing battle like tricity you know of wires running all over the place crowded into small spaces you know doing whatever they can do to secure their housing a lot of it's substandard housing and they're just the scraping by was easy to look at my little. money here is the reason. the leave.

the end of the. house would. be easy. because. we both. don't think any of this is subsidized i think the people are you know bank but this out of their own pocket again it was probably a couple bam lease living per bartman here sharing the expenses of the apartment but i don't think in most of the mexicans you know a lot of them are registered americans are legal americans so are the coleman documented so they can't get any government help you know maybe if their children

are born here they can get some food stamp money but they won't get into subsidized housing if they are if there are. none documentary. on the birth rate of immigration no immigration has been stepping up lately you know. if anybody gets full for time you know legal infraction there are no sending them back to mexico to people of their e we are very wary right now. you know of anybody strange no. yeah. after coming here i've developed a new website for accounts that he and i maintain it's facebook age. until know most people knew about tent city from local media outlets which aren't all which ones are always very friendly for the website we're trying to put out our own our own voice and you know cover things from our perspective and on the web site

reaches out to. people for different kinds of things you know it's it's for you know just news and happenings really density in some ways they can they can help. it will this this time of year starts to pick up so the summer summer is the hottest with let's say july and august slowest months for people who don't need them in separate cars and the kids go back to school picked up and then a really big jump from november to december because this time. i was working for a high voltage electrical contractor doing work in the lincoln tunnel by holland tunnel the george washington bridge and then coming home at night and going out to the woods and bringing sleeping bags and you know propane in the wintertime you know doing whatever i could to help them out and then after

a while i realized i couldn't do both i couldn't keep my job working in new york city and then come down to you know come down here and go out into the woods at night time all over the place and meet the needs of the home so i decided to leave my job and started doing this full time. fratto terrorised the nature of terrorism is becoming increasingly international i . how local governments which may be the case yeah in afghanistan i very limited and i had military tell that increasingly globalized spread so one how do you really strike a balance here to foreigners can help by not fighting drugs you out of the other stuff if we all start work so i did drugs you are not going to someone that would be peaceful if you tried to help them but it is the government example of this big

success. do we speak your language or not a day of. school music programs and documentaries in spanish more masses to you breaking news a little too much of anglos keep these stories. you hear. detroit all teach spanish find out more visit. all tito it's calm. please it was a terrible day and was very hard to take a. look again there was a plan that we never had sex with that earthquake there are no plans. to call

it what. it looks. like. limiting. the. thank. you. ok let's go ahead and open up with

a word of prayer. heavenly father we thank thee for another day that thou has given us the breath of life another day to enjoy the beauty and the wonders of the great creation. would continue to help us in tent city even is now is already done by the b. c. the dike they pull in this and i kindness toward those father in need of valor here in tent city we see the real in tangible ways in which thou does care for the poor and the needy. we get pizza every day. combine them of jim he meets me out of the road and by the clock in the morning he goes around to about ten pizza parlors at the end of the day whatever they've got left over and they didn't sell him on the shelf they donate you know to tim or to the homeless or

answer champix that i've been that he goes and he sleeps on the road he's homeless himself lives in his car and it's all he does all day long as he takes people to the doctor you pick up from bakeries delivered a pantries and he does this all on his on his pension check he sleeps in his car and spends his money on helping people all day long yes amazing. agree of self-sacrifice though because he's a he's a true tour vietnam combat vet to. modern assembly modest guys thank. you very much and. a lot but as so i believe the words of the bible i believe there's eternal life so that's what i'm investing it in other words it's mine because i believe it and so what i've got here i can use to help other people because i don't have to attain anything here this is just an investment for wants to calm down. but

it will move down because it's real and he's happy because all i do is wake up and is this in. wake up and just get me a bowl always theory oh no because before you say asking for like on types of food and them tonight craving the you the pool you'll see more of it and it is going to need a lot of hamburger i don't remember the hamburger of are named you dan and i think you go in that cooler and i mean a burger rheingold and mostly. you know if somebody is hungry intensity they want to be hungry. not because they don't have enough food most people don't clean up your. system yeah. hoping that by example they would learn a lesson but. again it's typical you know the path of least resistance whatever's easier and that's a tendency with human beings you know human nature is just to find the easiest way

out a lot of times with somebody else one is willing to do the work do it so. you know i don't mind doing it but it's you know short term this tent city is not going to be forever those roads our ships are closing it down and then we're going to go to another phase. her. last. but it's on this year's over hope to be more poor. because they're young and remember if one year when the year is up hopefully they'll be gainfully employed now be able to be self-sufficient. you know back on the right track so i'll go for . the take care you know i found. the bull. so some of the picture of the wound my other kid does not was me unfortunately home. but he's

in foster care and my concerns with kids i love kids and i pretty much saw the kids out there like. i was in foster care myself but there is hope out here and i just want all the kids to know that you know. i'll be doing to fight for all the kids out there including mine and never give up on whole the wonderful day for them to have a good day guys. are losing. lose. let me tell you. things. are a loon move. to. a room. and then. move.

yet we do think it's romantic we fight for it all the time. who gets to make the fly there who makes the best. and of course you know who makes the best by joe good. i didn't say you said it right there you know the. stuff i said you'd think we were wouldn't be busy but it would be all the taj juvies as you know it's very hard work you know everybody has a little thing you do is work you know if i need to wash dishes i have to heat water i have to get water to solve the water sprouse it you know. very hard work. but she did one daughter she sent her poor to. stay with that three grains hence

i'm usually pretty much lost touch i haven't talked to them in years. oh i was. really and we haven't talked to anybody since we came here except i did talk to daughter until i found out that she dumped all our stuff all my paintings is like me sitting on michael sivy listening to music so we had already in. that week. when we came here we weren't sure we would stand a wheel we brought the necessities. not me luan laws trouble is house of learning ok because all my free time i like to study so i had to be on fisher house of learning.

is my desk this is where i do my reading. study books here a lot of his biblical you know religious freak or religious fanatic but a lot of stuff that i study is biblical also mathematics and physics i mean to quantum physics currently i'm saying to myself it's just i consider knowledge is that the best use of your time is just gay. as much as you can. this is like a it's like a gingerbread house it's the cutest house intensity is definitely well maintained they put a lot of effort into it. they have they had made it look like a candy house doesn't like something from a storybook they made their own street but it's a one paradise lane it's just people that are trying to live you know they they're making the best of a bad situation then battling the township for of three years now since two thousand and ten they took us to court they sued us township of lakewood sued the homeless for a certain amount to get us off the land and

a lawyer stood up on our behalf a very strong lawyer i belong to a very powerful lawyer firm they spent over a million and a half dollars representing us and so. we kind of reached a compromise that the what we would do is we would take a year's worth of housing that's what supposed to be happening but with the township is doing is trying to figure out any way they can to disqualify the people down intensity so that it's been a half a year since that. court case since the consent order was signed but nobody has gotten housing through the township and really the other night we experienced the worst harassment from the police in the township that we've ever experienced up to this time they came in and they started ticketing people giving people tickets for burning to wood stoves thanks to. our.

assigned seats. we were not just the president. you have to deal with those it's not easy. to move all of this what is a good day with all smiles cup of coffee. every day is good because you know it will cause them. but some days you know the double of the took a day off so he can pressure you into thinking that this is the going to get better . no no you know right now i have no other options all i have is ten cities i have no other house no apartment no other options i'm totally homeless i'm totally at like anybody else in intensity if the township closes down ten city i've got no place to go my parents were very giving and self sacrificing so i think i picked up those traits from my parents and you know also my religious beliefs also ok then

test i'll probably get a. place but i feel much more fulfilled much more satisfied much more complete as a human being reaching out to other people. but i'll tell you one thing. god is in the boat. out he's in the boat. and god's not going to let it in the way that the township thinks that it's going to hand because god is about justice god is about fairness and is about equality god is about the principles that the founding fathers of america spend so much time and concern in addressing the fairness of a good society. yes they'll criticize some other country for their human rights violations in my book that's called hypocrisy

mind bump that's cold injustice or duplicity. oh i. say. this is a. close low mole. hole. was told. for. the first. as

a new physician i swear to abide by the hippocratic oath. to the best of my ability and judgment. i will prescribe for the good of my patients. i will not give deadly doses to anybody. or advise others to do so. i will never do harm to the. doctors of the dogs on on to. be interviewed tomorrow it's. a good solution to take over the problem.
