Since there are private citizens who insist on paying for this
desecration of Lafayette Park every four years (via the Inaugural
Committee), I suppose we're stuck with the bleachers again this
year. So I'm writing President Clinton asking him, as I asked
President Reagan in 1985, at least to leave the bleachers up for
the rest of the winter, for homeless people to get out of the
cold, wet, snowy, icy streets. I'm not asking for us -- we will
remain at our signs with the minimal amount of protection
necessary to survive. We are asking on behalf of the homeless
sleeping on the DC streets (in spite of police harassment) ...
still, after all these years.
