New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, will travel to DC to speak to a public policy thinkers and shapers in his effort to raise awareness on poverty. Poor people can use all the help they can get. Poverty is a fact of life for millions of Americans from all walks of life, yet the topic of Poverty is the least addressed public policy issue and uncovered topic in media, which explains how reporters were “shocked” that some people really don’t have credit cards and automobiles or food or regular stuff like that. Any person, organization that raises public awareness about Poverty is doing their part. If the NAACP can take a break from television appearances about multi-million dollar football players involved in crime, a cartoonist who created a racially offensive’ cartoon, and burying the N-Word, maybe they would find the time to keep the issue of poverty on the front burner of the national public policy debate and the media – especially during a national election season.
