SANTA ANA (5/8/0
- Members of a group threatened with citations if they continue feeding the homeless in a picnic area at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point will file a lawsuit today, claiming their constitutional religious and speech rights are being abridged.
The lawsuit will be filed in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana by lawyers for the Orange County office of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, said the ACLU's Tessie Borden.
Members of Welcome INN -- Interfaith Needs Network -- served meals at the state facility two days in a row in February. On the third day, they were approached by park rangers who said they were engaging in an unlawful assembly, Borden said.

It's not far from where I live. California in general has a lot of homeless people and no one seems to have any real solutions. In a place with TONS of illegal workers making very little money where housing costs A LOT. We have more foreclosures than any state in the country. Add to that 30 million people stretching state resources to the limit. The logical outcome is a lot of people without any place to live. I don't see any reason why we should be complaining about people trying to help.
