Urgent Evoke Act 5 Imagine United Texas Assistance League

Hello this is Sunny Du Pree and I come live with an amazing groundswell of activity from the local community. Here in Amarillo, things have really been difficult as many people struggle to keep their home and body together. Many go homeless and unfed. But there is a new hope surrounding these desperate people as we see by their faces. "Sir, sir, can you please tell me what is happening"? "Yes mam, said the cowboy. "Me and mine we got sick of seeing people go without so we got our churches, local community organizations and many of the locals together to fight this epidemic of poverty. We have taken over abandoned city and state buildings and have renovated them for people looking to improve their lives". I found that amazing in this day and age where most people just keep to themselves and walk around the dead bodies of the lost ones. Yes here in America you can die on the street and people will just walk around you. I see that they are bringing in food, clothing and other goods. "Hello mam, can I speak with you for a moment'? A very young mother turns around and agrees to talk to me. "We didn't have no place to go and then I was told I could come here and they would help me. My husband left me and I couldn't keep a job and I didn't know how I was going to take care of my baby. My pastor told me about this new movement right here in downtown Amarillo and he said they would help me out. Now I have a place to live and food to give my baby. They said they would help me find a job so I could get out on my own and put back into the community. I don't like charity but they put me right to work so I am making my own way!" I thanked her and she walked away smiling. There are people painting and renewing old buildings that have stood empty for at least twenty years. "Hey Sunny!!! I hear a male voice call. I turn around and there is my friend Brendan. "I am so glad your here Sunny! We have quite a few helpers making all of this happen, ya know, makin new lives for people who have lost well just about everything. I told a friend and they told a friend and so on and then my phone was ringing off the hook! We quickly gathered a committee of people together that knew how to make things happen in the community. There was general agreement to what it all was. All of us were just sick and tired of waiting for government help so we just took it upon ourselves to make the push and create this Universal Texan Assistance League. Before you know it, Democrats, Republicans and all the Independents got together and basically across the board agreed to take these properties and use this for their purpose. Instead of people worrying about where they are going to get the cash from we got it all set up on the barter system where every one does something to help it work. We all get assigned stuff that we can do. Wooo eeee! I got a lot to do Sunny but I am glad to see you, I know that you will spread the word to the world about what we are doing. Yeeee haaaa" with a wave of his hat Brendan drives off to go find more help for UTAL. I am blushing cause Brendan is quite cute, Ahem. Well look there is Subway setting up a table. I cant believe they are getting local merchants in on the action. Oh and they are giving the workers free lunch for their help! All around me people laugh and wave as they go about their work. Sources tell me that they will be making this a green project as well. There will be gardens that are watered by captured rainwater and filtered dirty water, people will be cooking together as a community and there will be support for health issues arrive. With the Universal Texas Assistance League using this barter system I believe that they will turn this economy around and we will thrive once again. This is Sunny Du Pree with KAMR saying Grace and Peace../Me waves.
