6000 more to go: Assessing San Francisco’s Homeless Count
When the number of homeless General Assistance recipients fell from 2497 in May 2004 to 697 in January 2005, nobody should be surprised that the number of homeless persons in San Francisco has apparently declined by 28% since 2002.

SF SOS Launches Lies at Leno
SF SOS is at it again. After its hate-filled mailings against Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval caused Senator Dianne Feinstein and GAP founder Don Fisher to leave the group, SF SOS has now set its sites on Assemblymember Mark Leno. SF SOS leader Wade Randlett sent a mass e-mail yesterday attacking Leno for allegedly sponsoring a bill that “would create a five-year waiting period for anyone who buys a home and wants to live in it instead of renting it out.” Is there no limit to the group’s lies?...

IDA News: 2-16-05
Every animal is a unique individual with a right to live free from pain. Tragically, many innocent animals are victimized by humans who don't understand or respect their value as living beings. IDA has therefore created places of refuge to protect animals from violence. Both IDA's Project Hope in Mississippi and IDA-Africa's Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center in Cameroon provide a safe environment that allows animals to experience the care and love they need to be healthy and happy.
