| 156 | Liliana Salapa | Housing for all!
Hands off the shanty town!
Support 'Take Back the Land'! |
| 157 | Gilbert De La Torre | |
| 158 | Bonnie Powell | This is just horrible .. . this is their land and why is the law honored for all others - hasn't time taught us to honor our Native Americans? |
| 159 | Marie Louise Morandi Long | I support "Take Back the Land". We need more Power to the People, not more power to governmental/corporate boot-licking lackey politicians. |
| 160 | Allan Doy | If you don't like the way it looks build them proper housing. For God's sake these are human beings. Treat them with some dignity. |
| 161 | Phyllis Flowers | The whole world is watching how you all treat the poorest of the poor in this country. God is also watching! |
| 162 | Nathan Georgette | We cannot allow the continued oppression of the poor by our capitalist overlords...what you are doing to take away every semblance of solidarity and human compassion is reprehensible and absolutely immoral. |
| 163 | Peter Glovas-Kurtz | You fascists make me sick. Maybe if you cared enough about the housing crisis you wouldnt have this situation. |

| 166 | Jennifer P. | you should have them look into squatters rights...if they call themselves squatters then they can claim that land |

| 171 | Carol Z. Barnett | It's time for governments in the United States to stop squeezing the poor and make it a priority to see that they have decent housing! DO NOT destroy what they have set up for themselves until you have something better to offer! Shame on you if you do! |

| 179 | Belinda Narciza | Unless the City of Miami makes affordable housing available to those in need, they need to leave the shantytown alone! Even those living in the shantytown are doing so in conditions that the mayor and the commissioners would consider deplorable, but it's better than being on the streets. Until they offer a better solution, live and let live. |

| 181 | Marpessa Kupendua | Images of Miami glimmer with "beautiful" people and breathtaking scenery, while the poor and dispossessed are forgotten and despised. Miami officials should be the ones raided and jailed for terrorizing your city's most vulnerable in such a ruthless manner. The world is watching! |

| 185 | Sallie McKibben | I have helped build a few of those huts and I have seen the community accept and love Umoja, its goals, its peoples, and its heart. This is a chance that's being given to people that, apparantly, Miami officials would rather forget and scoot under the rug.
It is obvious that anyone that would vote for this ordinance does not have the public in interest and thus is not the public's representative. And if this is so, I will not abide to an unlawfully appointed official and will stand ground at Umoja, come what may. |
| 186 | Nellie Aiyana Baida | I support the movement! |

| 191 | Chris Rose | This is not only about homelessness. It is about free speech and basic human rights and dignity. |

| 193 | Ruben Botello | The World Homeless Union will call for a global economic boycott of Miami if it does not immediately begin to work directly with the homeless settled in Liberty City to meet their needs.

| 194 | Larry A Barton | The issues of corruption and the grip of weathly developers on the controls of local governments is a pervasive issue that must be challenged. We here in Cape Coral, FL are facing similar problems of Big Government and Big Business combining to rip off and wreak financial havoc and destruction on the lives of homeowners to the benefit of big real estate developers an big contractors like MWH and KBR (of Hallibutron). They will continue to enrich themselves at the expense of the taxpayers, homeowners and the poor unless they are stopped by the combined and organized will and effort of the people.
The specific facts may differ , but it's the same faces behind the masks of corrupted power.
Let's keep up the fight! |
| 195 | John Young, Homeless Advocate | I feel that we all need to stand up for those less fortunate than ourselves who are being denied a basic life sustaining right of having a place to call home.
We have no problems providing shelter for animals, then why not human beings?
I lived in Miami for over thirty years and am quite familiar with what goes on there. I often miss it, but we have a homeless population here too. |
| 196 | Cathy Gilbert | The city should address the underlying causes of need for such a project rather than try to thwart this pro-active community effort. Rather than address issues of unaffordable housing, slave wages, unemployment, govt/developer corruption, etc, the city is trying to outlaw the people's right to help themselves. Leave Shanty Town alone and work to build a better city. |
| 197 | Ryan R. Robles | The government is very concerned about obstructing the poor! Obstruction is such a big issue! So is pedofilia! Exxon won't donate 1 billion dollars to DOJ so that thousands of monsters can be prosecuted with the latest CSI technology? Let's show the Chinese what we're made of why don't we? |

| 200 | Margo Menconi | Not only should the county leave the shantytown alone, but it needs to actually take an active part in creating affordable housing, including strong ethical oversight over that process. |
