Trillion Dollars Projected For the War, While 13000 People Are Homeless in DC A recent study by a Nobel Prize winning economist estimates the “true costs” of the war are over a trillion dollars, which will the burden the US budgets for years. This financial strain is resulting in drastic cutbacks of government services for Americans at home, which causes more homeless on the street and exposes the urgent need for more shelters. (PRWEB) March 28, 2006 -- A recent study by a Nobel Prize winning economist estimates the “true costs” of the war are over a trillion dollars, which will the burden the US budgets for years. This financial strain is resulting in drastic cutbacks of government services for Americans at home, which causes more homeless on the street and exposes the urgent need for more shelters.
Having already spent $251 billion dollars in hard cash, the United States continues to spend $4 billion a week fighting the war in Iraq, with costs unabated. While resources are being poured into reconstruction abroad, it is the helpless and children at home who are paying the price. In Washington DC alone there are over 13,000 homeless people sleeping on the streets in the bitter cold -- many of them children.
Mr. Bocook, a real estate developer and attorney, has a plan to address the homeless situation in the US: “Wake up America. It appears that the government has forgotten about our homeless citizens, the very people that need the most help from our government. We’re trying to win the ‘hearts and minds’ of those abroad, but we’ve already lost that war at home. This is our last chance to save thousands before the problem spirals out of control.”
Mr. Bocook’s plan is Angels Camp, a replicable, master-planned state of the art homeless rehabilitation facility projected to be built in Washington DC and across the country -- one in every state over the next 10 years. “This facility is intended to fill the gaping cavity that the United States government has failed to fill in caring for its homeless citizens” states Bret Bocook, founder of Angels Camp, Inc.
“We have specifically designed and tailored this unprecedented concept for the homeless population in the United States. Each facility will sleep 500 chronically homeless people per night and address alcoholism, drug abuse and mental illness. The company will also be operating for profit companies to help fund it and train homeless people with working skills to let them regain their pride,” Bocook explains. Bocook’s plans are certainly impressive, and the Angels Camp site plan at www.AngelsCampOnline.com illustrates the car wash, printing shop, and full medical and dental facilities that will also be operating out of the massive “build to suit” campus.
In order to fund this 15 acre, $40 million homeless comprehensive care facility, Mr. Bocook and his team are fund-raising with the sale of pixel ads on their website (www.AngelsCampPixelads.com). “When I heard about a college kid in England that sold out the MillionDollarHomepage.com with pixel advertising, I knew it was a perfect fit for Angels Camp” said Bret. These pixel donors/marketers will not only receive a tax deduction equal to 50% their contribution, the donor will also receive a substantial marketing platform on the web to drive potential clients to their web site as well as show their corporate consciousness. Donations of cash, used cars, or real estate are 100% deductible.”
“The pixel ads placed over a background of the architectural plans can be purchased in square blocks of “pixels” and will show the logo of the purchaser along with a link to their website. We expect the Pixel Ads to be viewed by thousands of people each day on our site, angelscampPixelads.com,” explains Bret.
According to www.DotAds.net, a site that tracks the pixel ad industry, AngelscampPixelAds.com web site is generating a great deal of visitors and buzz within the internet community because of the charitable nature of the Angels Camp program. “Once sites such as www.digg.com and ww.technorati.com picked up the story of Alex Tew’s Million Dollar Homepage, it took off. We expect the same to happen with this story because the enormous social benefit has great appeal to the public and advertisers alike” says Bocook.
“We have plans to build the first facilities in the Washington, DC and Sacramento / San Francisco Bay Area regions. After these facilities are built and operational, Angels Camp will be rolling out this kind of campus across the country in the next 10 years, one in every state of the United States. It makes no sense for each state to figure out a separate and different solution to the corrosive problem of homelessness in the United States. We believe that replicating a system and campus is the most efficient method of solving the homeless problem in the United States.”
