— Johnny Mendoza Govea (@JohnnyInJapan) January 21, 2014This man of peace, dedicated to his people, was spied on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by the FBI and other governemental alphabet-bureaucrats. He fought for freedom of all Americans as the secrecy of his official shadowers was thinly vieled with the dirt-digging tirade penetratingly thorough.
“There is nothing new about poverty. What is new, however, is that we now have the resources to get rid of it. The time has come for an all-out world war against poverty … The well off and the secure have too often become indifferent and oblivious to the poverty and deprivation in their midst. Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation. No individual or nation can be great if it does not have a concern for ‘the least of these.” Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
He was against poverty as a part of his vision for the Beloved Community:
"I do not think of political power as an end. Neither do I think of economic power as an end. They are ingredients in the objective that we seek in life. And I think that end of that objective is a truly brotherly society, the creation of the beloved community."
