ReHeHe is a shorter version of Repair Heal Help.  That is my motto for Camden, NJ.  There is a church on every corner yet there are 10 homes boarded up next to each church. There are beautiful spots in Camden but overall there is much work to be done.  Investors and those who are simply rich should consider donating to the City of Camden.  The City is predominantly composed of the African-American or black race and Hispanic ethinicities. There are a few banks, a few businesses, a train station, the jail, the welfare building, and a pizza shop.

We need factories for entry level workers that can provide a shuttle service.

We need retail shops for entry level workers that can provide a shuttle service.

We need innovative ideas and people to show us a better way to run the city without discrimating but recognizing that need for inclusiveness.

If your company would like to do business in the City of Camden, please visit the RFP and Bids list at www.ci.camden.nj.us/business/bid.html.

QUOTES Section 

A Few Good Words

Employment will offer, in the immediate future, more opportunities for favorable contact than housing, education, or any other area of activity. That this is so is an essentially negative comment about...American Society. -Thomas F. Pettigrew, 1971

Poverty is too expensive. We can't afford it any more. -Quinn Brisben, 1992

I encounter few examples of overt racism directed specifically at me. Perhaps I encounter more than I acknowledge, because I never want to dignify ignorant or malicious people by assuming they are fully aware of what they do. -Arthur Ashe, 1993

My God, what do we want? What does any human being want? -Shirley Chisholm, 1970
