Re: [Peckers_Pics] Male/Gay Health-Discussion-PICS Model Wars-Oct 8, 2011-Boycott Georgia-Trump-TARGET-FOX NEWS-Salvation Army



Perdue is saying something that often bigots use to say that we shouldn't legalize gay marriage and that's 'it's the wrong time' I feel she's opposed to it more on the level of the fact of it flying in the face of domestic partnerships and other legal arrangements. I feel that NC's amendment actually has a great chance of being struck down because of that.

Get Smart About Your Scale

By Jennifer Gruenemay, ACE-Certified, October 07, 2011

Daily weigh-ins aren't such a bad thing if they help you recognize how your weight naturally fluctuates throughout the day. Your weight can change in response to everything from what you eat and drink to whether or not your bladder and bowels are empty. Putting these weight fluctuations into perspective can help you avoid freaking out the next time you step on the scale after eating dinner, only to find you've gained three pounds. Food and beverages obviously weigh something, so don't be surprised when the scale shows it.

You won't gain three pounds from eating three pounds of food and drink; many foods are partially indigestible, especially fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which will be excreted from the body. Water from the beverages you drink will also be either used to maintain fluid balance within the body or excreted as urine. The calories from the foods you do digest will either be burned for energy or put away in storage.

Weight gain comes into play when food or calorie-laden beverages are eaten in excess, and the extra calories are stored in the body as fat. So what really counts are the number of calories you eat and not the number on the scale after you eat.

Weigh yourself in the morning before you have anything to eat or drink and after you empty your bladder and bowels. This is your true weight, and the one you should be comparing your weight-loss goals to.
Take Action:
  • 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! Further, Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
  • 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 its 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 customer base. 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?
  • 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 a LGBT friendly 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 money to anti-gay 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 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.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, 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? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"

NC Gov. Perdue to vote no on gay marriage ban
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Gov. Beverly Perdue announced Friday she'll vote against a change to North Carolina's constitution next May that would prohibit gay marriage, saying that although she backs traditional matrimony, the question if approved could harm the state's economy and job creation.

Perdue, a Democrat, announced her feelings on the statewide ballot measure less than four weeks after the Republican-led Legislature pushed it through the House and Senate. While Perdue criticized General Assembly leaders last month for pushing the amendment as part of their social agenda at a time when citizens want elected officials to get the economy moving, she hadn't expressed her views on the question itself.

Perdue said in a prepared statement she believes marriage is between one man and one woman and voted while in the Legislature for a 1996 law so that North Carolina couldn't recognize same-sex marriages in other states.

"I continue to support that law today," Perdue said. "But I'm going to vote against the amendment because I cannot in good conscience look an unemployed man or woman in the eye and tell them that this amendment is more important than finding them a job."

Amendment supporters said the constitutional prohibition would help the state defend itself against legal challenges by same-sex married couples in other states. The proposal also would bar the state from recognizing civil unions and other same-sex partnerships.

Gay rights supporters said the amendment is spurring people on to add formal discrimination into the constitution. Perdue said several business leaders have told her the change would "harm our state's business climate and make it harder to grow jobs here."

Perdue didn't give reasons why, but dozens of business owners and executives lobbying the General Assembly before last month's vote that an amendment would impair the ability of growing companies in emerging fields to attract workers from states with more liberalized gay rights laws.

They said it also would discourage companies from coming to North Carolina because of the perception North Carolina is unwelcome to gays and lesbians. More large corporations, including Charlotte-based Bank of America Corp., are offering benefits to partners in gay couples.

Perdue said legal experts also have argued the amendment could eliminate legal protections for all unmarried couples.

"Right now, my focus, the General Assembly's focus, and North Carolina's focus needs to be on creating jobs," she said.

Gay marriage opponents said most states at the top of economic performance tables have limits on marriage embossed in their constitutions. The amendment was written so it won't harm job creation, said Tami Fitzgerald, executive director of the pro-amendment North Carolina Values Coalition, who criticized Perdue for choosing "to throw her support behind those who want to radically redefine marriage."

Thirty states already have language in their constitutions limiting marriage to a man and woman. North Carolina is the only Southeastern state without one. Six states and the District of Columbia grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Perdue "cannot have it both ways -- voting for marriage between one man and one woman in 1996 and stating that she still supports that -- while now refusing to support the amendment that will keep it that way in 2011," Fitzgerald said.

Equality North Carolina, which opposes the amendment, said it would release a statement later Friday.

Perdue's opposition to the amendment is still a challenging political wicket for her because society is largely divided on the question of formalizing gay relationships. Social conservatives, who tend to vote Republican, have been seeking a referendum for years. They didn't get one until the GOP took over the Legislature for the first time in 140 years.

Perdue could make a difference in the outcome of the gay marriage amendment question if she campaigns actively against it, said John Dinan, a political science professor at Wake Forest University who studies amendment issues. But by putting out only a statement about her views, Perdue doesn't appear to want to get too involved in the debate at this time, Dinan said.

"She could hold a press conference. She could have encouraged others to vote against the amendment," Dinan said. Instead, "it's not apparent at this point that she intends to be actively involved."

For now, her statement may satisfy Democrats and gay activists who oppose the question without criticizing people who support it, Dinan said. Voter impressions are important as she runs for re-election in 2012.
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."
