Today's Health/Excercise "Special" Message:Smart ProteinThey say fish is brain food, and I say it's certainly a smart choice – for your muscles, that is! You need a healthy dose of daily protein to help create new lean muscle, and fish is one of the best protein sources around. Besides being a source of quality protein, certain types of cold-water fatty fish also contain beneficial levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Among their many benefits, these special fats have been shown to help reduce muscle soreness after a workout.
Omega-3s also help boost your mood, reduce your appetite and give your skin a radiant glow. Which type of fish should you eat? I recommend you stick with wild salmon, which is very rich in omega-3s. Also, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, salmon is the least likely fish to contain contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and mercury, making it safe for consumption.

Take Action:
- 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 immediate end of DADT. It is out-right discrimination.
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commerical by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Imagine, Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of senile - Sen. John McCain: because of their Hateful anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform. Further, Their Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and blocked Immigration reform! We shall hold the voters of Arizona responsible!
- NEW: Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.

With 'Don't Ask' Halted, Gay Vets Seek to Re-Enlist
AOL NEWS / Oct 20, 2010"I passed." That's what gay Iraq war veteran Dan Choi announced today on his Twitter page after taking the skills test to re-enlist in the Army.
Choi, who came out on national TV and then handcuffed himself to the White House fence to protest the "don't ask, don't tell" law, is one of a least three gay veterans who sought to re-enlist now that the controversial measure has been suspended.
Last month, a federal judge issued an injunction against the law that bars anyone from serving in uniform if they're openly gay. On Tuesday, recruiters for the U.S. military were told to begin accepting applications from openly gay people. The policy's final fate will eventually be settled by the courts or Congress, but for now, the law is considered to be suspended.
The Obama administration, however, did ask a federal appeals court to suspend the judge's ruling.The legal turn of events sent 29-year-old Dan Choi to a military recruiting center in New York's Times Square on Tuesday. "I'm headed to the Times Square Recruiting Station," he announced on his Twitter page, encouraging supporters to join him at an impromptu rally there.
"Today is a great day we can all celebrate," Choi told ABC News after filling out recruitment papers. He'd hoped to join the Marines this time, but age requirements prevented him, so he re-enlisted in the Army instead. "I'm very excited to be in service to this country."
Choi, a 2003 West Point graduate, is fluent in Arabic and served two tours in Iraq as an infantry platoon leader. After returning from deployment, he became one of the most vocal critics of the "don't ask, don't tell" law.
He revealed his sexual orientation publicly for the first time last year on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show," prompting the Army to begin proceedings to discharge him. In March, he was arrested along with an Army captain for handcuffing themselves to the White House fence while in uniform to protest the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
Civil disobedience charges against Choi and the other soldier were later dropped, but his discharge paperwork went through in July, putting the war veteran out of a job.
About 100 supporters gathered outside the Times Square recruiting post while Choi was there. Among them was Justin Elzie, a 48-year-old fellow veteran who was the first Marine ever investigated under the "don't ask, don't tell" law.
"This is a very important moment in our country," Elzie Elzie told DNAinfo, a Manhattan news website. "I'm getting chills up and down my spine."
Choi, who lives in New York City, founded KnightsOut . org, a group of West Point graduates who support the rights of gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual soldiers to serve openly in the U.S. military. He was training with the National Guard, preparing for a possible deployment to Afghanistan, when he was discharged in July.
In a tweet today, Choi said he refused to lie on his new application. "I was discharged in 7/2010 from the US Army because I told the truth about my sexual orientation and refused to lie about my cherished lover and partner," he wrote on the application, which he photographed and posted on Twitter.
Choi said he expected to undergo a medical screening on Monday. "I'm just really excited," he told CNN today while standing outside the Times Square recruiting station. "It's been a long time coming."
Almost giddy, he added: "I've been going through all this entire year wondering if I'm going to get fired, was I called back to duty? And now here I am, and this is a really exciting day, not just for gay people but for all of America."
Choi is one of at least three gay veterans who have started the re-enlistment process since the Pentagon told recruiters Tuesday to consider the "don't ask, don't tell" policy moot, according to The Associated Press.
Former Marine Will Rodriguez, who was discharged in 2008 for being gay, registered at a recruiting post in San Diego, but officials there told him he has to wait until January until more slots open up.
A gay soldier discharged in 2006, Randy Miller, was turned away from a Stockton, Calif., recruiting station by sergeants who said they hadn't heard about the policy change. Miller went to a Navy recruiter next door and signed up there instead, the AP reported.
"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."
Remember: Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. The Formal Boycott began this past weekend. I stopped shopping these stores - even though I want a new washer/dryer and new clothes for the Fall. I would not purchase "Blood Diamonds," nor should a person / organization be contributing funds to both Hitler / Nazi's and the Jews at the same time! Obviously giving money to the Jews and not Hitler/Nazi's is the right thing to do. Hence, these companies violated my trust and well-being. They gave money to my enemy who would terminate me from my job, deny me housing and send me to a Internment camp. Therefore, goodbye Target and Best Buy! The CEO's of these companies have been insensitive to our reaction and do not even comprehend their actions! What takes so long to "fire" these Neanderthals?
