And now on to the rest of the country:

Rashida Tlaib's new 'Unhoused Bill of Rights' would protect homeless camping

Resolution would also require $168B in defense spending be redirected to end homelessness and grant rights to internet access and panhandling

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., introduced legislation last week that would significantly expand rights for the homeless and overhaul how the government treats Americans living on the streets by siphoning billions from defense spending.

The "Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights" calls for government-led intervention to end homelessness over the next three years and introduces more than a dozen protections for homeless people.

If passed, Tlaib's legislation would include freedom of movement for homeless people in public spaces, affordable housing, "livable" wages, universal healthcare and panhandling.

Under the resolution, homeless individuals would have the "right to uninhibited access" to public parks, transportation, facilities, sidewalks, buildings, restrooms and other spaces — meaning they could legally set up camp in such public spaces.

They’re just one election away from achieving this.

UPDATE — AND IT’S NOT THE BABYLON BEE

Is this something similar to Senator Aiken’s suggestion on ending the war in Viet Nam back in 1966: “Declare victory and go home”?
