Harness the Power of Frustration
 
By Jorge Cruise - November 23, 2011
 
There comes a point when you have to say "Enough is enough!" Frustration can create a powerful desire for change – in fact, it's one of the most valuable motivational tools there is. Think about how being unfit has cost you, whether in your career, intimate relationship or your family. How many activities have you missed out on because you physically couldn't partake in them? How often have you stayed home because you felt too ashamed or embarrassed about your body?
 
Be honest with yourself. Explore each and every aspect of your life in which inactivity and overeating has held you back. Then pick up a pen and let your dissatisfaction tumble out onto the pages of your journal. (If you don't already write in a journal, start one!) Once you're done, you'll have the genesis of your success right in front of you. These are the reasons you need to change your life for good. Use it to propel you toward your goals. When you experience moments of doubt or start to question whether you really need to work out, go directly to this page in your journal and read it. Make the dissatisfaction work for you.
Take Action:
  • 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!"

Romney's Pandering Gets Him Nowhere
11/23/11 - Huffington Post - Michelangelo Signorile

Despite the animosity toward gays coming from the Mormon Church -- and the millions of Mormon dollars that have gone toward fighting LGBT rights -- gays and Mormons have always had more in common than meets the eye. That was certainly noted in the gay subtext of the HBO drama "Big Love," all about a polygamous Mormon Utah family: a tiny minority seeking equality while despised by many in the larger culture, living in the closet, appearing just like everyone else on the outside.

Granted, the vast majority of Mormons today are not polygamous and the LDS church rejected polygamy over a hundred years ago. But they are still stereotyped as having an aberrant sort of "lifestyle" while most are just trying to quietly lead their lives.

It's in that way that Mitt Romney is very much like a gay Republican, or at least like some gay Republicans. I think of the right-wing gay group GOProud, which, despite the hate that comes from Christian right leaders, still panders relentlessly to the GOP and its base, bowing to extremism and ready to toss overboard other groups - like women or Muslims -- in order to get any shred of acceptance. But the acceptance never comes. GOProud even announced it would back virulently antigay Michele Bachmann if she became the GOP nominee and asked her for a meeting. She passed. Some say it's self-loathing at work. Others say it's self-interest. Whatever it is, it certainly raises the issue of integrity.

And that brings us to Mitt Romney.

He's done a stunning public turnaround on LGBT issues - as with many other issues - from claiming he was better than Ted Kennedy on gays and supporting partner rights back in the 90s (when he unsuccessfully challenged Kennedy in a Senate race) to signing a pledge written by the National Organization for Marriage this year "to appoint federal judges who don't see a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. "

But no matter how much Romney joins in the bullying of gays, he continues to get bullied himself by the same gang of thugs for being a Mormon. Romney didn't show up at the Thanksgiving Family Forum in Iowa on Saturday because he didn't want a repeat of what happened at the Values Voters Summit, where Rick Perry backer, Dallas pastor Robert Jeffress, called Mormonism a "cult" and told the media that Christians won't vote for a Mormon. Only Perry, Jeffress said, could defeat "the most pro-homosexual, most pro-abortion president in history."

Bob Vander Platts, the Iowa antigay activist and head of the Family Leader, which sponsored the forum, had said if Romney attended his Mormon faith would become an issue. So Romney stays away for fear he'll be attacked for being a Mormon. And what does he get for staying away? He gets attacked for being a Mormon anyway. Bryan Fisher, the American Family Association's bombastic and hate-inspiring radio host, sent out a tweet: "Romney, by not showing up at tonight's debate is reminding folks of the theological differences between Christians and Mormons."

The Thanksgiving forum was an opportunity for the candidates to speak to the evangelical base of the Iowa GOP and outdo each other on who could best transform the country into a Christian theocracy. (Jon Huntsman, also a Mormon, didn't attend as well; he's consistently not supported the religious right agenda and supports civil unions for gays.) Michele Bachmann said that our laws derived from the Ten Commandments. Rick Perry said, "in every person's soul, there is a hole that can only be filled by the Lord Jesus Christ." Newt Gingrich said it would "terrify" him if an atheist were elected president. Rick Santorum wept as he told a personal story -- in the service of laying out his cold-hearted plan to deny women the right to choose.
 
And all except for Ron Paul pledged to make gays and lesbians second-class citizens by backing a federal marriage amendment banning marriage for gays in all the states including the six where it is now legal. Romney supports that as well, and in fact now publicly supports most of the extreme positions on social issues on display on Saturday night.

Many media pundits and political analysts have said that it's Romney's flip-flopping that has Christian evangelicals suspicious of him. But that really doesn't accurately portray Christian right base, which has always shown enormous pragmatism in backing the candidate they believe will win after they secure promises on full-filling their agenda, even if the candidate is not a true believer.

Maybe many in the media don't want to discuss the Mormon issue too much, perhaps fearful themselves of seeming intolerant. But as Right-wing Watch notes, it clearly is a major factor depressing enthusiasm for Romney and allowing every other candidate to become flavor of the month in the polls. A Recent Public Religion Research Institute poll found almost half (49%) of white evangelical voters believe Mormonism is no a Christian religion. Romney can sign all the antigay pledges in the world, but as far Christian right is concerned, Mormons are just about as bad as gays. And that's a problem that will plague him for the entire campaign.
