Your (our) president never demand respected. He earned our respect. Only bigots are checking his papers like he is not one of us. I resent the way you have spoken of our fine leader. Say Goodbye to our groups as we are not bigoted and you have not earned our respect. ......Jake

It amazes me how the GOP and Conservatives can claim that they were denied there
day in court but have no problem telling the world that they will oust any
judges who make a decision that they don't agree with such as in the case of the
Iowa Supreme Court case of overturning the gay marriage ruling.If The GOP finds
our tactics despicable its only because we are taking the lead from our
attackers..joesworldpomo64@yahoo.com

>Simple Rules About Aortic Disease
>>
>>By Linda Childers, April 26, 2011
>>After actor John Ritter died from an aortic dissection – a tear in an
>>artery leading from the heart – his wife, Amy Yasbeck, dedicated herself
>>to educating others about this often-misdiagnosed medical condition. In an
>>exclusive Lifescript interview, Yasbeck discusses life without John, as well as
>>the signs and risk factors of aortic disease…
>>
>>
>>Seven years after actor John Ritter died, his widow, Amy Yasbeck, still thinks
>>about him every day.
>>
>>"I miss John and strive to keep his spirit alive," Yasbeck, 48, says.
>>
>>In 2003, while rehearsing his TV sitcom "8 Simple Rules," Ritter felt severe
>>nausea and chest pains. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors
>>initially believed the comic actor, then 54, was having a heart attack.
>>
>>In fact, he had suffered a thoracic aortic dissection – a tear in the
>>thoracic aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest
>>of the body. The aorta can rupture when the area where it exits the heart
>>becomes enlarged, causing what's called an aortic aneurysm (swelling that
>>weakens the walls of the blood vessel). Ritter died that night.
>>
>>"Since John died, I've learned family history is the leading risk factor for
>>thoracic aortic dissection," says Yasbeck. "I encouraged John's brother, Tom, to
>>have his aorta scanned, and doctors discovered he had the same tear John had.
>>Tom was successfully operated on and is doing well."
>>
>>About 40,000-50,000 Americans die each year from aortic disease, according to
>>the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, which has partnered
>>with Yasbeck's John Ritter Foundation to educate doctors and patients about the
>>disorder.
>>
>>
>>In this exclusive interview with Lifescript, Yasbeck talks about how her
>>family's doing now and her "Ritter Rules" – simple tests that can help
>>prevent others from dying as Ritter did.
>>
>>
>>What do you wish you and your family had known about aortic disease before John
>>died?
>>In 1974, John's father, [country singer and actor] Tex Ritter, died at age 68
>>from an apparent heart attack. In retrospect, he probably died from an aortic
>>aneurysm.
>>
>>I want families to know aortic aneurysm risk factors and to get appropriate
>>imaging [tests]. Our society has become heart-smart, but we're still
>>aorta-ignorant in many ways.
>>
>>Since John's death, have you seen progress in the field of aortic health?
>>Yes, just last year the American Heart Association and American College of
>>Cardiology released new clinical guidelines, with recommendations for doctors on
>>the diagnosis and management of thoracic aortic disease (TAD).
>>
>>They deliver a powerful message to patients and physicians: Early diagnosis and
>>treatment can save lives.
>>
>>
>>Besides genetics, what are some risk factors for thoracic aortic disease?
>>They can include poorly controlled high blood pressure, advancing age, smoking,
>>male gender, atherosclerosis [a clogging or hardening of the arteries] and
>>inflammatory diseases that damage the blood vessels.
>>
>>If you have a family history of unexplained sudden death, talk to your doctor
>>and see if you and your family members should be screened for TAD.
>>
>>
>>Is genetics a primary risk factor?
>>Dianna Milewicz, M.D., Ph.D, a professor and director of medical genetics at the
>>University of Texas Health Science Center, has identified five genes that
>>explain about 20% of cases of aortic aneurysms that run in families.
>>
>>
>>Members of more than 600 families, all of whom are related to someone who had an
>>aortic aneurysm, have enrolled in a genetics study conducted by Milewicz as part
>>of the John Ritter Research Program.
>>
>>
>>How are people screened for thoracic aortic disease?
>>Because the risk of aortic dissection increases with age, many doctors advise
>>patients ages 65 and older [to get] screened with an MRI [magnetic resonance
>>imaging] or CT [computerized axial tomography] scan that can detect an aneurysm
>>before it tears.
>>
>>If we can determine people predisposed with this disease, [they] can have their
>>condition managed by their doctor through aortic imaging, genetic testing and
>>blood-pressure monitoring.
>>
>>How has John's death changed treatment of thoracic aortic disease?
>>John's death has led to more doctors considering TAD as a diagnosis in emergency
>>rooms.
>>
>>
>>Because TAD symptoms mimic those of a heart attack, and since heart attacks are
>>much more common (experienced by 920,000 patients annually), many patients with
>>TAD symptoms are mistakenly diagnosed and treated for a heart attack – as
>>John was. These treatments can exacerbate TAD.
>>
>>Would John have been pleased about your work to promote awareness of thoracic
>>aortic disease?
>>This is what John would have wanted. He always realized that with celebrity came
>>great responsibility. I think if he had survived, he would have become an
>>advocate for diagnosing and preventing TAD.
>>
>>
>>What do you hope readers learn from your memoir, With Love and Laughter, John
>>Ritter (Gallery)?
>>The book's title has special meaning since those were the words John used when
>>signing autographs. I hope readers will see the book as a celebration of his
>>life.
>>
>>
>>What inspired you to write the book?
>>Our daughter, Stella, had turned 5 on the day John died, and there were so many
>>memories I wanted to keep alive for her. I started writing them down on index
>>cards, and I found that reading them aloud helped me too.
>>
>>One of his favorite sayings was, "Here we go, here we go," and those were the
>>words that pushed me to get out of bed in the days and months following his
>>death.
>>
>>
>>Since Stella was so young when her father died, how did you explain his death to
>>her?
>>I used a lot of John's philosophy on life. I tried to answer her questions
>>honestly without overwhelming her with information.
>>
>>It's a huge lesson for her to know that it's OK to be alive and go on living,
>>and that it honors the person to live with a bit of their light inside you.
>>
>>Seven years after John's death, how are you and Stella doing?
>>There are still good and bad days. In my book, I say that time doesn't heal
>>wounds; it salts the wound.
>>
>>
>>John lives on through his three [other] kids, his brother and Stella. John's son
>>Jason [actor Jason Ritter] and Stella both favor John in a lot of ways. Stella
>>exudes his spirit – not just for comedy, but for the way she looks at
>>life.
>>
>>
>>I've found the best way to honor his memory is to live the way he encouraged us
>>to go through life. John always encouraged everyone to take time out of their
>>day for random acts of silliness and goofiness.
>>
>>
>>Risk Factors and Symptoms of Aortic Disease -
>>With the help of Milewicz, who's also chair of cardiovascular research at the
>>University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, the John Ritter Foundation
>>has created these "Ritter Rules" to help people recognize, treat and prevent
>>aortic aneurysms and their complications. They are:
>>
>>Rule 1 – Urgency
>>Thoracic aortic dissection is a medical emergency. The death rate increases 1%
>>with every hour the diagnosis and surgical repair are delayed.
>>
>>Rule 2 – Pain
>>Pain is the No. 1 symptom of thoracic aortic disease, Milewicz says. Seek
>>immediate emergency medical care if you or a loved one experiences a sudden
>>onset of severe pain in the chest, stomach, back or neck. The pain is likely to
>>be sharp, tearing, ripping or "moving."
>>
>>
>>Rule 3 – Misdiagnosis
>>Heart attacks are far more common than aortic dissection, but if a heart attack
>>or other diagnosis isn't clearly and quickly established, then aortic dissection
>>should be quickly considered and ruled out, Milewicz says.
>>
>>
>>This is especially important if a patient has a family history of thoracic
>>aortic aneurysm and/or dissection, or features of a genetic syndrome (see rule 6
>>below) that predisposes the patient to these conditions.
>>
>>Rule 4 – Imaging
>>Only three imaging studies can identify aortic aneurysms and dissections: CT,
>>MRI and transesophageal echocardiogram [a diagnostic ultrasound device that's
>>inserted into the esophagus to create images of the heart muscle and other parts
>>of the heart. A chest X-ray or EKG can't rule out aortic dissection.]
>>
>>Rule 5 – Triggers
>>Lifestyle and trauma can trigger an aortic aneurysm and/or dissection, Milewicz
>>says. It can happen through injury to the chest, extreme straining associated
>>with bodybuilding, illicit drug abuse, poorly controlled high blood pressure, or
>>by discontinuing necessary blood pressure medications.
>>
>>
>>In rare cases, pregnancy can trigger an aortic dissection. Women with aortic
>>aneurysms and connective tissue disorders are at higher risk of aortic
>>dissection during late pregnancy and delivery, and should be carefully monitored
>>by a cardiovascular specialist.
>>
>>Rule 6 – Risk Factors
>>Aortic dissections are often preceded by an enlargement of the first part of the
>>aorta, where it comes out of the heart – called an aortic aneurysm. If
>>you have an aneurysm, you're at increased risk for an aortic dissection.
>>
>>A personal or family history of thoracic disease also puts you at risk, Milewicz
>>adds. If family member is living with an aneurysm or has had an aortic
>>dissection, you (and other family members) should be evaluated.
>>
>>
>>Certain genetic syndromes can also greatly increase your risk. They include:
>>
>>•Marfan syndrome, a genetic condition that affects connective tissue. It
>>also causes abnormalities in the cardiovascular system.
>>
>>
>>•Loeys-Dietz syndrome. Like Marfan syndrome, this inherited disorder
>>affects connective tissue and the cardiovascular system.
>>
>>•Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, another group of inherited disorders
>>that make blood vessels more prone to rupture.
>>
>>•Turner syndrome, a female chromosomal disorder that also causes
>>abnormalities in the casdiovascular system.
>>
>>•Bicuspid aortic valve disease (having two leaflets, which guard the heart
>>opening, instead of the typical three). Also, if you've had a bicuspid aortic
>>valve replaced, you need to be monitored for aortic disease.
Take Action:
* Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
* Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a
French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay
Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as
well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida!
* Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John
McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and
increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support
Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending
DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
* Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay
political candidates/organizations.Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to
donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends
Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010
- Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for
Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free
speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Update 4/8/2011: Target lost
it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR
Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed
their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician
who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting
them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although,
Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside
their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double
standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared
aboutDavid Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because
Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political
candidate that would Kill the Gays!
* End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in
the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining
equal benefits.
* Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment
discrimination of LGBT workforce.
* Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
* BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a"for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
* BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft
toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi
Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet
paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific
paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building
products(INVISTA Products) /Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch
brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support
causes of the LGBT community.
* Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized
Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to
prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said
two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and
Walgreens, did much better. * NEW: Boycott Donald Trump [Tune Out TRUMP], The
Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for
president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump
added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just
marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the
Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? Boycott NBC,
CNBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and his other business's. Don't shop
at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos,
Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred. He is a
birther as well and bring out all the Bigets! Remember how poorly Trump treated
Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as
we now know he is hater. Unforgiveable! Ready to dump NBC because they air
Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"? Start Watching CBS Evening News with Katie
Couric (Real News that is Fair). * NEW: Boycott "APPLE." For the current owners
and the aspiring owners of the I-phone, Apple allows an application, "The Gay
App", which is supposed to help gay individuals turn straight. This is a step
in the wrong direction. Apple needs to know that the decision to allow this App
on their products is a fallacious idea! Update: March 23, 2011: Apple removed
this app from USA stores; but, rumored to have them remain in some foreign
stores. This is offensive not just towards the LGBT community in the USA; but,
offensive to the entire LGBT community around the world. How does anyone
approve such a hateful, despicable app towards the LGBT community? Especially
when Gay Teens are killing themselves after being harrassed by their church,
parents, as well as by bully's and teachers at school. The idea that this app
was used, solicited is disgusting. Still "no comment" from APPLE!
And Now, Model Wars!

Gay rights group: You're damn right we pressured law firm on DOMA
By Greg Sargent - Washington Post - Apr 26, 2011
>Wow, so it looks like the right is trying to make a major issue out of the fact
>that leading gay rights advocates used some heavy-duty pressure tactics to get
>the law firm King and Spalding to drop their case defending the Defense of
>Marriage Act for House Republicans.
>
>I just got off the phone with the Human Rights Campaign, the gay advocacy group
>that's in the right's crosshairs. The group's response, in a nutshell: Deal with
>it.
>
>
>The latest round got started this morning, when the Weekly Standard published an
>internal email from the Human Rights Campaign detailing that HRC had "contacted
>many of the firm's clients" as part of its campaign to get King and Spalding to
>drop the case. Right wing bloggers, such as Jennifer Rubin, are pouncing on this
>as proof that the left engaged in an "unprincipled campaign" of intimidation to
>deprive the House of Representatives of legal representation.
>
>
>Far from being abashed about this campaign, Fred Sainz, a spokesman for the
>Human Rights Campaign, shared new details about it. He confirmed to me that his
>group did indeed contact King and Spalding clients to let them know that the
>group viewed the firm's defense of DOMA as unacceptable.
>
>
>Sainz said his group did not ask any of the firm's clients to drop the firm in
>retaliation for taking the case, as is being assumed by conservatives who are
>alleging an untoward pressure campaign. Rather, he said, his group informed the
>firm's clients that taking the case was out of sync with King and Spalding's
>commitment to diversity, which it proudly advertises on its Web site.
>
>"King and Spalding's clients are listed on its web site, so we did what you
>would expect us to do," Sainz told me. "We are an advocacy firm that is
>dedicated to improving the lives of gays and lesbians. It is incumbent on us to
>launch a full-throated educational campaign so firsm know that these kinds of
>engagements will reflect on the way your clients and lawschool recruits think of
>your firm."
>
>"We did all of this, and we're proud to have done it," added Sainz, who declined
>to name which King and Spalding clients his group contacted.
>
>Conservatives are insisting that King and Spalding's decision to drop the DOMA
>case unfairly deprived the House GOP of legal representation in response to
>political pressure. But Sainz pushed back hard on that idea, pointing out that
>law firms are not obliged to take any case.
>
>"We have a profound disagreement on the issue of whether or not law firms have
>the responsibility to take these kinds of civil cases," Sainz said. "We believe
>that no law firm has any responsibility to take a case. Firms pass every single
>day on cases they do not believe are consistent with their reputations. King and
>Spalding clearly agrees with that."
>
>This issue is going to continue to heat up. More soon.

....Jake Important Notice: Our ObamaBiden2008 Group works hand - in - hand
with Peckers PICS (Both groups were co-created to work with each-other). To
prevent duplication of articles and questions, all members of this group are
expected to join ObamaBiden2008. It is unfair for members that belong to both
groups to hear members of just Peckers PICS (only) to make statements when the
ObamaBiden2008 has covered such topics in detail. Therefore, members need
to join ObamaBiden2008 immediately. This shall clear up communications and
confusion. The LGBT cause is too important and beyond 1 person's need to just
look at pictures. Therefore, please join ObamaBiden2008 now. No you don't
have to read every article! But, it covers the LGBT community and includes
updates on Health insurance; LGBT boycott list; Westboro Church; and the end of
DADT, etc...Also, updates with the multi - state govt's war against LGBT rights
and people with disabilities. The group is created for you! There are gay teen
suicides going on. There are Hate crimes against gay people. There are gays who
are fired over their sexual identity. There are gay people who died for our
cause! You always reserve the right to remove yourself from all my groups if you
do not appreciate this request. I have done everything I can and now it is time
for you to step up! My Yahoo Groups are formulated towards individuals who
sincerely care about LGBT rights and Gay Mens Health! Please Join Now!
------------------------------------
All members of "Peckers PICS" are requested to join our "Obama Biden 2008" group as it runs in conjunction to this group. Both groups shall not repeat articles from one group to another. However, to gain full knowledge of Gay rights, members must belong to the Obama group as well as this group. Therefore, please accept your invitation to join.
