Denzel Washington Makes Contribution Toward Troop Recovery
Don't know whether you heard about this
but Denzel Washington and his family visited
the troops at Brook Army Medical Center , in
San Antonio , Texas (BAMC) the other day. This
is where soldiers who have been evacuated from
Germany come to be hospitalized in the United
States, especially burn victims There are some
buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher
House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay,
for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying
on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled
most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave
him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build.
He took his cheque book out and wrote a cheque for the full amount right there
on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear
this story and want to get the word out to the American
public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.

The question is - why do:
Britney spears, Madonna , Tom Cruise and other Hollywood fluff
make front page news with their ridiculous
antics and Denzel Washington's charity
doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of
any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San
Antonio.

[http://www.google.com/images?q=tbn:AVprX54H3d0J::www.chowdernation.com/images] Harvard University has announced that undergraduate students from low-income families will pay no tuition. In making the announcement, former Harvard president Lawrence H. Summers said, "When only ten percent of the students in elite higher education come from families in the lower half of the income distribution, we are not doing enough. We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income distribution." If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free... no tuition and no student loans!

PROSTITUTION IS GROWING IN WASHINGTON PARK!
PROSTITUTION IS NOT A VICTIMLESS CRIME!
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS FASTLY GROWING INTO THE MOST MAJOR PROSTITUTION AREA IN THE CITY
There is a correlation between prostitution and drug possession and sell, theft, robbery and even murder. Our safety is at stake!
Did you know that other communities initiated a prolonged campaign to reduce prostitution in their neighborhood, and as a consequence, prostitution in the Roseland area was reduced to one-third of its former level, and that a substantial number of these women have moved their operation to the Washington Park neighborhood ????
DID YOU KNOW THAT East 50th Street between Indiana Avenue and Champaign Avenue is one of the three primary areas for prostitution??????
JULY 4TH IS THE BUSIEST WEEKEND FOR PROSTITUION AND UNLESS WE ARE VIGILANT IN CALLING THE POLICE AND REPORTING THIS ACTIVITY OUR COMMUNITY WILL BE UNDER SIEGE
PROSTITUTES NEED CUSTOMERS TO FIND THEM AND WILL INCREASE THEIR CONCENTRATION IN OUR AREA, CONSEQUENTLY ALL FEMALES IN THE AREA, YOUR WIFE, DAUGHTER, NIECES AND FRIENDS, ARE AT RISK FOR SOLICITATION.
Statistics show that a prostitute is arrested only once for every 425 tricks that she turns
Please call 911 when you see any suspicious activity! Also PLEASE CONTACT Genessa Lewis, Commander of the 2nd District Today and let her know that we want this growing problem addressed, and made a priority. Call her at 312 747 8366 Fax No. 312 747 5396 or E-mail Caps002District@Chicagopolice.org
