and our LGBT brothers and sisters are my major concern. Yes, all other issues are important, but with those two I can help no matter what our government does.

I also, my whole immediate family actually, work at a faith based homeless shelter. No government assistance. I can ignore the religion aspect in order to help. They actually assist in getting the homeless jobs and a place to live. Same with the local food bank. I can still donate my time, supplies, and money even though they are faith based because I see where it goes. To the people that need it the most.

Thank you for all you do, and the compliment.
