Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nationโs capital? Iโd also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. ๐บ๐ธ
SEN. @RonWyden: โTrump has set the new high water mark for public corruptionโฆ everybody in ๐บ๐ธ is subject to IRS audit except the Trumps. I take it as an admission of his own guilt when it comes to tax cheating. Trumps have stuffed every dollar they can into their pockets.โ
@pamelafurr I mean they're scooping people up that are legal citizens law abiding citizens hardworking citizens there has to be a better way than these awful roundups that have been happening
@pamelafurr I know that's the majority as I'm not blind or ignorant to the fact.I think it's more about the labeling "llegal" makes them seem like they're all criminals. Most are coming here to make a better life.would be great if we could reform the broken immigration system.
@pamelafurr Show me the the white people that are being deported..It appears that we're only going after brown and black skin folks.I could be wrong but it doesn't look that way.
@pamelafurr No s*** I know what we're talking about but the eliteism of fellow white folks has always mind-boggling to me and I'm a bright woman but you do you
@pamelafurr You do realize your family was an undocumented when they got here.Back in the day all they had to do is sign a book..or rape and pillage the Natives.
๐ฅ ๐ฏ TAYLOR WATSON: โA country that can fund endless wars at the drop of a hat but debates every dime someone wants to allocate towards health care or education doesn't have a budget problem. It has a morality problem. Hope that helps.โ
