Women's rights, I hope includes the right not just for bad pay like too many men. But a Wages which paid the rent, and other basics in the same week.
I am talking about my state Maine.
As jobs paying $10 on hour are deemed good jobs. But it costs $15.51 to cover the rent. This is a bad paying job. Minimum wage should Go up to $19.60 mot $9.20 in 2011
I have not studied the report from the UK. But I agree with at least two points.
1. to eradicate poverty not just reduce numbers should be the goal of everyone.
2 America needs new thinking on this topic.
As what US Senator Ted Kennedy said to the effect of.
"All Americans working for a living should not be in poverty"
Check out the report by going to http://zunia.org/index.php?id=11728&tx_dgcontent_pi1[tt_news]=288589&cHash=26471db123.
Then hitting the report link.
Then: Think about joining some people who will vote to have the voices of poverty heard by looking up Poverty on their search engine, at Yohoo and Google. this Dec. 10. Its Human Rights day
Vote once or 101 times by puttting the word Poverty into the search browser then hitting GO. You are not approving of anything, except America should speak about poverty.
Seek people to themselves vote and to find other who will find others.
How it will work. If we look up just the word Poverty on Yahoo and alternatively Google enough times, his will register the word poverty as a popular Search.
Newspapers editors will have this phemonon pointed out to them by activist like myself. They can no longer saw the public is not interested in poverty if it is a popular search. This could result in news sources carrying the untold stories of poverty.
Hospitality House Inc., will tell news sources that some people voted more than once. But they are voting also for the caring people who due to our lack of income, we cannot design a program which will reach many caring people. We can not reach to get them to vote. But we know they are there.
We only ask for searches. Your searches can improve they way Americans, the world, thinks about 40+ million counted with a Lack of income.
On Dec 10th Search Yahoo and Google for poverty. Get others to do the same. Have the others you find, ask the groups they belong to to do the same.
I pray that change will allow this to appear and might reach another idea or two on getting people interested.
