11-Year-Old Jack Davis' Bill to Help the Homeless is about to Be Signed into Law!


Jack’s Bill, officially titled the "Jack Davis Florida Lending a Helping Hand Bill," which will allow restaurants to give their unused food to the homeless, just passed in the Florida House of Representatives. The next step is for the governor to sign it into law, which should happen in the next few weeks. Once the bill is signed, it should take effect July 1, 2008.

Jack went to Tallahassee and did a lot of lobbying for his bill. While there, Jack was fortunate enough to meet with several legislators and attend several sessions and committee meetings, but the highlight of his trip was a 20-minute meeting with the Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist. The governor had Jack sit in his chair, which Jack told him was "almost" as comfortable as the "Ellen chair.” The governor then promised he would sign Jack’s Bill into law if it reached his desk!

We’ll keep you updated, of course, to let you know how everything turned out, and to find out what great deeds Jack Davis will be pursuing next!

TALKING THE TALK INSTEAD OF WALKING THE WALK!

We have known about Global Warming since the beginning of time, but we spend so much time giving lip service to it,(Talking the Talk, instead of Walking the Walk) and waiting for government officials to fulfill their campaign promises to us every 4 years, yet nothing ever really changes. We have an opportunity now, during an election year, to make a commitment to global change, and we can "ALL" take the time and energy to convince our policy makers to listen to what "we the people want." "We the People," not "We the Government." It is time to level the playing field, take our place among the leaders of OUR country, to force the necessary legislature, and to protect this planet for our children and future generations.

How can we, in good conscience, listen to the speech that Al Gore made on July 17th, and not step up to the plate and walk the walk, instead of just talking the talk? Join me at WE CAN SOLVE IT and move in a positive direction that leads us, if necessary to the steps of the White House. Watch Al Gore's speech and tell me what you think.
