Lady Freedom Returns

WOW! My DU handle is now my street name!

As you know I have had some problems....

Well a walk in center where I get my mail has had calls. Some used my real name, others my screen name. Well, some of the workers started calling me "Lady Freedom". This has caught on. Now others have started calling me this instead of my real name.

So if you are in Tucson and hear a yell for "Lady Freedom", I am in the area!

This has been a interesting turn of events. Many have started asking me questions about what is going on with the government. They don't really understand what is going on and can't understand why it is going on. They hear all these Conservatives that are out here that are trying to get them to think they way they do, but not hearing the other side. So, people have started asking me.

I don't mind sharing my views a bit!

People do that to me too now. Call me up to ask about the government, I mean. I was amazed at all the calls I got from family about the shut down. It was nice to be needed without having to loan money.
Keep on informing everyone you know and I will too.

The more people become aware of what's going on, the steeper the decline of the GOP thieves and liars.

But what they seem to forget is that people can still listen to radios and get newspapers.

And that is why people are asking questions. Because what these people out here telling them it is all the Dem's fault is not jiving with what they are reading and listening to on/in the news.

and the homeless camps that are still blindly spouting their RW talking points?

That just seems so counter-intuitive. They sound like beaten dogs that keep returning to their tormentors.

It's a good thing that they are beginning to rely on you to provide them with counter arguments, the truth.

Bless you for finding a mission as you struggle to regain your life.

And the GOP have people coming out and passing out flyer's and telling people how the Dem's want to make it where they can not get ahead. They even pass out little sandwiches with their propaganda in the sacks


What the GOP/Tea Party/Conservatives do not understand is that many can go to the library and read a newspaper. There are many that have good old radio's and can listen to the news. And then there are people like me out here.

They might get some to believe, but not all!

People living on the streets want to know what is going on. But their access to news and info is limited.
