U.S. Rep. Cori Bush said late Friday she planned to spend the night on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to protest the impending end of the coronavirus eviction moratorium.

"Millions are at risk of being removed from their homes, and a Democratic-controlled government has the power to stop it," Bush tweeted around 1 a.m. ET Saturday. "Extend the eviction moratorium now."


She posted a photo of herself with fellow progressive Democratic Reps. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. She said she had written to other Democratic lawmakers, inviting them to join her on the stairs and claimed more people were showing up in Saturday’s predawn hours.

Pressley and Omar both posted supportive tweets, saying "We are here!" and "We've got you, Sis."



Earlier she tweeted, "Many of my Democratic colleagues chose to go on vacation early today rather than staying to vote to keep people in their homes. I’ll be sleeping outside the Capitol tonight. We’ve still got work to do."


The moratorium expires Saturday, meaning millions of renters could be forced out of their homes in the coming weeks as state and local officials struggle to distribute $46 billion in rental assistance to tenants and landlords across the country.

EVICTION MORATORIUM POSIED TO EXPIRE JULY 31, PUTTING MILLIONS AT RISK OF LOSING THEIR HOMES

Democrats failed to get enough votes to extend the moratorium on Friday and left for a seven-week recess without voting, according to the Huffington Post.

In her letter to Democrats, she told her colleagues she has been evicted three times in her life and had previously been homeless, living with her two children in her car.


She also wrote, "We have a deeply rooted misconception in our country that unhoused people have done something to deserve their conditions – when the reality is that unhoused people are living the consequences of our government’s failure to secure the basic necessities people need to survive."

"If Congress does not act now, the fallout of the eviction crisis will undoubtedly set us backwards as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravish our communities - needlessly contributing to more death and suffering," she added.

On Wednesday, Bush introduced the Unhoused Bill of Rights resolution, which would require the government to declare homelessness and public health emergency and make more investments in affordable housing, the Post reported.

  So, is Bush, Omar and Pressley going to pay their rent?

  Maybe she's been homeless...and longs for "the good old days" !

"Millions are at risk of being removed from *their homes*, and a Democratic-controlled government has the power to stop it," Bush tweeted around 1 a.m. ET Saturday. "Extend the eviction moratorium now."

  Their homes?  I thought they were renting..


She posted a photo of herself with fellow progressive Democratic Reps. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. She said she had written to other Democratic lawmakers, inviting them to join her on the stairs and claimed more people were showing up in Saturday’s predawn hours.

  The steps looked far better without them!

  ... Sure, you've got "Sis", but have you brought the rent money?  The mortgages still go on..



Earlier she tweeted, "Many of my Democratic colleagues chose to go on vacation early today rather than staying to vote to keep people in their homes. I’ll be sleeping outside the Capitol tonight. We’ve still got work to do."


The moratorium expires Saturday, meaning millions of renters could be forced out of *their homes* in the coming weeks as state and local officials struggle to distribute $46 billion in rental assistance to tenants and landlords across the country.

   OH! ..Now I get it; they aren't paying the rent..... we are !

EVICTION MORATORIUM POSIED TO EXPIRE JULY 31, PUTTING MILLIONS AT RISK OF LOSING *THEIR HOMES*

Democrats failed to get enough votes to extend the moratorium on Friday and left for a seven-week recess without voting, according to the Huffington Post.

In her letter to Democrats, she told her colleagues she has been evicted three times in her life and had previously been homeless, living with her two children in her car.

  How did I guess that?  Apparently she is accustomed to refusing to pay any rent !


She also wrote, "We have a deeply rooted misconception in our country that unhoused people have done something to deserve their conditions – when the reality is that unhoused people are living the consequences of our government’s failure to secure the basic necessities people need to survive."

   Or do you have deeply rooted misconceptions, concerning mortgages, bills, fiscal responsibility and being a trustworthy investor?

"If Congress does not act now, the fallout of the eviction crisis will undoubtedly set us backwards as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravish our communities - needlessly contributing to more death and suffering," she added.

  On the other hand, if congress decides they don't have to pay their rent..the property owner may lose the property..and the renter may end up in the street anyway!  Or worse yet, the property be neglected, run down and end up a crack house!

On Wednesday, Bush introduced the *Unhoused Bill of Rights* resolution, which would require the government to declare homelessness and public health emergency and make more investments in affordable housing, the Post reported.

   Yes, we know the Democrats hate our existing Bill of Rights..but here she proposes a new one !

Went to one of these non paying renters houses to do some work. Homeowner told me to put a bandaid on the problem until he could get this (woman)? Out. She had not payed rent in a year but from the smell could afford pot. She followed the owner around yelling at him and calling him names. She was still in her bathrobe at 1 in the afternoon.

    I had a friend (passed now) who lived down at the lake.  He had rental properties in various parts of the city.
  Some were in prosperous parts of the city. a couple were in 'doubtful' areas.
 
  One summer he put a new kitchen (cabinets etc) in one of those houses in  a doubtful area.  It was one of those places where he had to collect rents, rather than expect them in the mail.

  Along about Thanksgiving time, he stopped by to collect rent, and discovered the new kitchen was stripped out and gone.

  Inquiring about the kitchen, he was told, "we sold it" !  At that time, the value of the house was so marginal, he just told them to keep the place, and he walked off.  Never bothered to look back.
