Has either candidate really addressed how he is going to attempt to resolve the poverty issue plaguing America? This topic has very recently caught my attention, so in my defense as to why this assignment is late, I would like to state that if I hadn't had the opportunity(not granted by my teacher, but opportunity nontheless) to find out about a certain person, this blog wouldn't have any inspiration or true feeling behind it at all. I heard about Brandt Russo completely by chance. This kid has captivated my entire being and seriously restored my hope in humanity. DO NOT hesitate to research him and his cause. (Very interesting, worthwhile, and)Long story short, Brandt found a way to use God through himself by giving up all that he had to minister and aid those who are ignored and looked down upon. He travels (I don't know where, exactly) around, collecting the barely expired food from dumpsters that can no longer be sold on store shelves, but is still good, edible food. This he then takes and prepares immediately to feed homeless people in that general area. Brandt Russo is nothing less than my hero; providing aid to those who should be recieving the most from those who have the power to change that situation. So my interest is piqued; what do the presidential candidates plan on doing to resolve this issue?
