Oprah Get's Some American Attention


A group of homeless Santa Monicer's held a rally in front of Oprah's home to plead for some help.
"15 of Santa Barbara's homeless and activists marched 4-miles from downtown to the front gates of her home where they left signs and a petition with 200 signatures pleading for her help getting affordable housing for those in need. Nancy McCradie, one of the organizers left a note which read, "We are not asking for monetary gift from you. We are asking for your help to bring awareness and perhaps a dialogue with the different providers for the homeless and the city of Santa Barbara."
The people claim that Oprah gives money and raises awareness to the troubles overseas but neglects the problem going on in her own neighbourhood.
I don't like Oprah but I don't think it's her job to do this. She made her money and is free to give it to anyone she pleases. It would be nice if she would gave some to America's homeless but I think these peeps went about it in the wrong way. Like they were entitled to Oprah's money.

I can't stand this woman but agree with you 100%....Wht do these people feel so entitled to her money and her success? They wouldn't get JACK from me. They should ask Angelina.....I hear she is always up for hiding her money in charities!
