Hello.
3:12:34
My name is Sharon Brown Jeter, and, I am here from Rose of Sharon Enterprises.
3:12:40
Keep Israel in your thoughts and prayers and, the things that you're doing.
3:12:45
We want the hostages released, and we want Yahweh's people to be let go.
3:12:51
Okay.
3:12:52
All the people in America and worldwide have a right to have a home.
3:12:59
They have a right to have a shelter, which is a home, an apartment, or a house.
3:13:05
We are not going to wear house bodies in shelters anymore.
3:13:10
The word shelter means the same thing that you and I live in, an apartment or a house, not a shelter.
3:13:18
We are no longer building shelters and then saying, oh my goodness.
3:13:23
We're gonna get it right this time.
3:13:25
Oh my gosh.
3:13:26
Did we not feed them the right food this time?
3:13:29
Are we still getting the bad food from these people?
3:13:32
So what did they eat during that time?
3:13:35
So they're not getting the funding that they need.
3:13:37
Put them inside of the empty apartments that we know are there because they're in the papers.
3:13:44
We don't need more shelters.
3:13:46
We have people that are rallying to say, let's get more low income apartments.
3:13:52
Build apartments.
3:13:54
If you can build a short shelter, build a tall apartment.
3:13:58
Let the people come out and rally about how tall the building is because you've put people inside and, cured the homeless problem.
3:14:06
Let them yell at us for curing the homeless problem, not for continually building shelters that we are clear does not work.
3:14:16
So the shelter idea, we're gonna torpedo that.
3:14:19
That's not gonna happen anymore.
3:14:22
We're moving forward and making sure that people are not going to be forced into mental programs so they can go into jail over and over, go into shelter, so people go from shelter to shelter to shelter.
3:14:34
Put people in houses where they belong.
3:14:38
God has made it available for everyone.
