United States of I still give a fuck.

United States of they're counting on you to not know what your rights are
United States of corporate walk-throughs and the travelling band of cucarachas in all units sucking off the pipe's condensation and the unlicensed spray jockey who sprays your baseboard with fipronil, then smiles at you assuredly as he leaves.
United States of the health inspector washing the hands of the corporate slumlord and reinacts a Q&A session in front of you like a bad highschool play, until you interupt to say you'll be right back, you're just gonna go grab your "born yesterday" shirt out of the car.
United States of we'll just wait til they get frustrated, give up and go away
United States of sometimes you get so frustrated you want to just give up and go away
United States of folks with two jobs who don't have to time to do research so they just live with it
United States of retired Vietnam Colonel who's complained of moldy walls for 17 months to no avail
United States of impromptu tenant pow-wow's in parking lots and dropped dimes to local news agencies
United States of Tenant's handbook comes in one language only and the letter of the law isn't really enforced unless you have money for a lawyer, so good luck with that.
United States of distributing fliers until your fingers turn blue
United States of doing what is right, because it is fucking right.
United States of not giving up hope that there are still a few good people left inspite of all this bullshit.
United States of I am free from your material attachments because I know the value of them and that which does not kill me makes me stronger and wiser.
United States of it's easier to ignore one person, than it is to ignore eight.
United States of this is not my grandfather's United states, I am paying attention and WE are not fucking going away, so you better put some coffee on.
