A few months back I posted a article about government making it illegal all over the country to feed the hungry. This is not only disturbing in the sence of to much government control, but it also is a violation of our religious freedom.

Angela Prattis will have to pay $1,000 to continue feeding hungry children in her neighborhood.
Isaiah 58:10
If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.
Proverbs 28:27
Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.
Feeding the hungry is becoming a crime:
Personal Liberty Digest has reported: A woman in Philadelphia is facing a fine for feeding hungry children. Angela Prattis was threatened with a $600 fine for every day she handed out free food.
The local government has tried to get citizens to quit feeding the hungry, hoping that doing so will force the poor into shelters.
Prattis distributes meals every day from the gazebo in her yard. She believes the government has more important things to worry about.
“You have houses here, the roofs are falling in, and they could be focused on a lot of more serious issues than me feeding children,” Prattis said.
“How is feeding kids a bad thing?” she asked. “I’m doing this from my heart because I love children. And these kids are hungry. Last Friday, I had 20 children walk to my house in the pouring rain for lunch, and at 2 p.m., they came back for a snack. Tell me this program is not needed.”
But Township Council Chairman Stanley Kester says that rules have to be followed.
