Letter to President-Elect Obama from American Homeless Society
January 11, 2009
TO: President-Elect Barack Obama
FROM: Ruben Botello, Founder
AMERICAN HOMELESS SOCIETY
Dear Mr. Obama:
I have been in and out of homelessness since being honorably discharged as a USMC Vietnam veteran in 1969. I wound up homeless then, in and out of homelessness with my two sons in the Eighties, and homeless on my own again in the Nineties.
I started the American Homeless Society in 1987 while my sons and I were homeless in California. I have been in several hunger strikes, marches and demonstrations for homeless rights since then but have seen little progress.
