Charitable organizations and human rights activists in Houston hope to put an initiative on the November ballot that would reverse a controversial new ordinance which makes it a crime to feed the homeless, or otherwise give food away, without special permission.
On April 4 the Houston City Council passed the law, ruling that feeding the hungry requires the permission of property owners wherever it occurs including the City of Houston, if the feeding happens on public property.
Council members passed the law by a a 11-6 vote; the regulations are set to take effect in July, according to Mayor Annise Parkers office.
Amber Rodriguez, executive director of Noahs Kitchen in Houston, told The Daily Caller that the new ordinance will shut her organization down if it is upheld. A single fine from the city, she said, could hurt the charity significantly.
The maximum penalty for violating the ordinance is a misdemeanor charge accompanied by a $500 fine. The original proposal, submitted by Mayor Parker, included fines as high as $2,000.
Rodriguez said a $500 fine would keep Noahs Kitchen from providing roughly 750 meals to individuals who need them.
Initially, the mayor also wanted all charitable food to be prepared in city-certified kitchens, at least one person from each feeding organization take a food safety class and that everyone who wants to feed the homeless register with the city, according to the Houston Chronicle. Those requirements were eventually struck from the final version, and registration was made voluntary.

Does it embarrass you to start a thread with a lie? No one has made it illegal to feed the homeless without permission. No one. No where. You are lying. You can go out on the street and invite a bum to your home for dinner any time, any place. You can invite them to McDonalds if you want. You can buy a hamburger to go and give it to them. You can even invite 20 bums into your home or into your church for dinner.
What the Houston city government did was make it illegal for me to invite bums over to your house for dinner and you seem to have a problem with that. Maybe you'd like for me to break that law and invite them over to your house for dinner. Maybe a sleepover, too.

Libtards would rather feed pigeons than people, socialist bastards.Don't feed the pigeons!
I heard about this. Messed up.
It should be the perfect argument to show that government doesnt want to help people. It wants control.
Looks like the liberals have a war on the homeless going.

They'd rather save salmon than people too. And spotted owls. Fleas, mice, and rats will be next.

A study showed that Republicans donated more to charity, so this will stop them from being generous. The government doesn't like voluntary goodwill. For one thing, it shows that the generosity of people can do more than government and for less money. I think most tax money gets absorbed by the system to pay bureaucrats and other waste before it gets to the target. Besides, it would take too many agents to inspect the soup kitchens and make sure the meals were approved. I mean, the charities could be giving people turkey sandwiches instead of gross chicken nuggets or something equally outrageous. If the feds are going to inspect kid's lunches, then they can't trust any adults to feed people.

Were you educated by a libtard? It's not the responsibility or purpose of a government to help people, silly you. The purpose of a government is to govern/manage a nation.
