Mr. Obama,

The letter above addresses the other issues affecting low-income people, so I think I should take a stand on the question of General Assistance in San Jose, California. It is $147.00 a month. After rent, water, and electricity I have $0.00 left over. I recently was trained to be a Sterile Processing Distribution Tech with a starting pay of $26.00 an hour. Where and when will people doing positive things in the G.A. system get a break? When will there be a raise or a stimulus for us?

What an outrage that we cannot provide the dignity of owning a house to all our citizens.

Me dio mucha alegria el que usted haya sido electo como presidente de este pais. Aunque no naci aqui, me siento y quiero mucho a este pais que me ha dado muchas oportunidades que en mi pais no existen.

A pesar de que hemos trabajado mucho, no vivimos con tranquilidad. Pues tememos por nuestro estatus. Le solicito de la manera mas atenta darnos una oportunidad para estar aqui mas tranquilos y no vivir en el sosobra. Gracias.

We need lower rents.

I say thank you, good friend. I just recently came to this new USA city, a rich and happy city, friend. People here are always nice and friendly, helping all poor people. So I pray to meet good friends who help forever.

So thank you very much. Amen. Amen.

The homeless population continues to grow and the demand for affordable housing increases. Someone in your position can make a difference. Thank you.

Necesito vivienda que yo pueda pagar.

We need more housing for the homeless. I am a single parent. I wish you could help the homeless who need it, even though we don't get income and just get food stamps.
