Due to the boycott & pressure from stockholders, their CEO has stepped down; But, remains on the Board. Further, Whole Foods has made no retraction of these anti-Healthcare reform comments & continues to support Republican agenda.
- Boycott Exxon OIL. Do not purchase their GAS. "Exxon scored as the worst company for the LGBT to work for!" In fact, before Exxon purchased Mobil Oil, Mobile had same gender partner benefits. Well, that changed for those employees when Exxon purchased Mobil - as same gender-partner benefits went out the door! Therefore, as we have choices, we don't need Exxon.
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- We demand Public Option to be added to Health Reform.
- End DADT NOW!

Today's Health/Excercise Tip:Every Step CountsWalk, don't run, to the nearest sporting goods store, and buy a pedometer. This handy little device is an inexpensive way to keep track of how many steps you take in a typical day. And while running may be a great calorie-burner, simply increasing your daily number of steps can help you lose weight.
Aim for 10,000 steps a day. That's the number researchers say will fully condition your heart and stimulate weight loss. It may sound like a lot, but you can easily achieve this number with the following five tactics:
1. Take a brisk 10-minute walk before work.
2. Walk to a co-worker's office rather than sending an email or calling on the phone.
3. Park in the farthest spot from your destination.
4. Take mini-walk breaks throughout the work day. Even just 5 minutes around the building will help clear your mind and make you more productive.
5. Drink plenty of water! You'll take more trips to the bathroom, increasing your walking time. Not to mention the metabolic boost you'll enjoy from being properly hydrated.
These strategies will bring you one step closer to your weight-loss goals!

Mohammad Abdollahi was putting his life on the line when he lobbied for immigration reform in Arizona this week, experts say.
The undocumented Ann Arbor resident, along with three other students, was arrested Monday and later detained by immigration officials in Arizona when he refused to leave Sen. John McCain's office. The incidents spawned a response across the country, including two vigils, a protest and hunger strike among some Michigan students.
Though the four have been released, they now face deportation hearings in immigration courts in their home states, officials said Wednesday.
But Abdollahi could seek asylum because of the violence in Iran, Ralls added. A policy in place since the mid-1990s requires that asylum seekers file paperwork within a year of their arrival in the U.S.But what makes Abdollahi's case unique is he is gay, and deportation for him could mean death in his native country of Iran.
"His safety and well-being would be in immediate jeopardy if he is returned to Iran," said Steve Ralls, spokesman for Immigration Equality, a New York-based legal aid organization for gay immigrants. "It is a notorious homophobic country where lesbians and gays routinely face torture, violence and even execution. It is among the most dangerous countries on the globe for lesbian and gay people."
"His case presents some challenges," Ralls said. "It is a high bar to meet but it is not an impossible one."
Abdollahi, who came to the U.S. when he was 3 with his family, said he was aware of the risk he was taking when he refused to leave McCain's office. But he thought it was critical to be part of civil disobedience to pressure lawmakers to pass the DREAM Act -- federal legislation that would create citizenship for undocumented youths and give them higher education access -- even if it means he could get deported to Iran.
"It's a worry," said Abdollahi, 24. "But if we can get the DREAM Act passed it would help so many lives, it would be worth it. I have seen too many friends get deported."
Abdollahi's father came to the U.S. on a student visa 21 years ago, and the family lost their legal status when Abdollahi was 8 or 9 years old, he said. He graduated from Huron High School, and went to Washtenaw Community College.
In 2007, he sought to transfer to Eastern Michigan University to train to be a social worker. A counselor gave him an acceptance letter, and five minutes later took it back after they became aware of his citizenship status, he said.
"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
