Low income communities like Anacostia are often easy prey for feel good P.R.<br /><br />I say the new folks need to mobilize and look for local grassroots alternatives for our current residents instead of waiting for big businesses to patronize us with turkeys...Symbolic?<br />http://anacostiayogi.blogspot.com/Sariane Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17675556880902582538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-45879855564027236932009-11-27T12:06:51.976-05:002009-11-27T12:06:51.976-05:00Exactly!Exactly!The Advoc8tehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300881061739991957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-8435982069083226872009-11-26T21:34:28.472-05:002009-11-26T21:34:28.472-05:00When I heard about this "give away" it m...When I heard about this "give away" it made me think of the quote: "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.

Perhaps if our councilmember was more committed to actaully raising the economic standards in our community so that there would be more jobs here less people would need a free turkey. Ward 8 is more than a once (or twice) a year photo opportunity. People need to stop selling themselves so short but if someone got a free turkey today and they really needed it good for them but I dont feel the need to advertise it - we should expect that and then more from our councilmember. Perhaps is there werent all these fake non profits wasting goverment money by not getting rescources to the people so many folks wouldnt be in such a bind. People need to eat all year round not just on Thanksgiving.The Advoc8tenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-24668259325609152192009-11-24T15:30:45.387-05:002009-11-24T15:30:45.387-05:00Just remember we have left the era of whats in it ...Just remember we have left the era of whats in it for me and now are in the era of whats in it for us, more than enough to go around in this world, if folks need some help/turkey it is in our best interest to help provide the support.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-13358974736378355982009-11-24T09:27:04.883-05:002009-11-24T09:27:04.883-05:00Hey, it's Thanksgiving.
