"I can't wait to veto this so we can get on to more important issues."
Well, it is not going away. If you wanted the whole issue to go away
you would have signed the bill. Now the legislature is going to spend
a lot of time trying to override your veto.
He's a coward and a snake. He's big on no new taxes but he let the
tolls on our roads increase by 50%. That's a tax.
He pissed a lot of folks off with his half mast flags for Whitney. His
conservative base got pretty riled up. So he's eroding support from
what was his base.

Imagine, if you will, if - instead of signing the landmark Civil Rights Act
of 1964 - LBJ had vetoed it and put civil rights up for a national
referendum. What do you think would have happened? The whole point of the
importance of passing the legislation was to ensure that civil rights for
ALL Americans was guaranteed - not left up to popular opinion or personal
preference. Congress' passing the bill and LBJ's singing the bill was the
right thing to do - even if many in the South were still opposed to it.
Because equal rights are guaranteed under our Constitution for all - not
just for select groups of Americans.
And the same thing is true here. Mr. Capehart is absolutely correct -
Christie's actions were shameful and, I think, bigoted and cowardly. I can
only hope that - since the New Jersey legislature has until January 2013 to
override Christie's veto, that they can, over the next 11 months, muster
enough votes to override it.

Cut Out Meat, Dairy to Improve Diabetes Symptoms
The reasons for pursuing a vegetarian diet vary from person to person and
culture to culture. Ethical and moral qualms about animal treatment carry
the day for some, while others pursue vegetarianism strictly for health
benefits.
For those who suffer from or are at risk for diabetes, one study suggested
that cutting out animal-based foods may just be the way to go. Published in
the journal Diabetes Care, the study concluded that patients who followed a
strictly plant-based diet were able to lower their blood sugar and lose
weight more effectively than those who followed more standard
diabetic-friendly diets, which emphasize fresh produce but also include some
meat and dairy. After 22 weeks on the vegan diet, 43% of patients were able
to lower their dosage of blood sugar medications or stop taking them
altogether.
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 - Take
Action:
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!"

Chris Christie is wrong on Obama and gay marriage
By Jonathan Capehart / Washington Post / Feb 23, 2012
Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) and I got into a rather animated discussion on
Morning Joe" today about the "courage" he displayed on the issue of same-sex
marriage in New Jersey. You may recall that when the duly elected
representatives of the people of the Garden State voted to approve marriage
equality last week, Christie vetoed the bill and then said he would put the
civil rights of gay men and lesbians up for a referendum. That's not courage
That's shameful.
I was sitting off-set scribbling my earlier piece on Rick Santorum when I
heard Christie, who supports civil unions, say, "I have the exact same
position as the president." And he agreed with host Joe Scarborough's
assessment that he is called a bigot and President Obama is called
enlightened simply because Christie is a Republican. "[T]he Democrats in my
state are criticizing me, saying my feet are firmly planted on the wrong
side of justice. I said yesterday, 'Yeah, my feet are firmly planted right
next to President Obama.' And they don't criticize him." Scarborough and
co-host Mika Brzezinski, seeing me tear my hair out (metaphorically
speaking), then brought me into the conversation.
Christie has a point. He and Obama both support civil unions. But there are
several reasons Obama isn't criticized as much as Christie.
Yes, Obama is in favor of civil unions. And he has caught hell from the gay
community for saying repeatedly that his position on same-sex marriage is
evolving." Heck, The Post and the New York Times have urged the president to
evolve already. But let me point out the differences between Obama and
Christie and why Christie fails to meet his own "courage" test.
The state legislature handed Christie a bill that would have made New Jersey
the eighth state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage. He had the
opportunity right then and there to show true courage and leadership by
signing it into law. Instead, he punted. Obama has had no such opportunity
to affix his signature to such historic legislation. Saying flat-out "I'm
for gay marriage" would be high on symbolism and moral persuasion. But it
would be low on real impact. Instead, the president has taken real actions
that fly in the face of Christie's criticism.
The Obama administration declared a year ago today that it viewed the
so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) to be unconstitutional and
therefore would no longer defend it in court. Obama has vocally supported
the state-by-state efforts to allow gay and lesbian couples to enjoy the
rights and responsibilities that come with marriage. And he has even thrown
his support behind S.598. That's the Respect for Marriage Act sponsored by
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that would repeal DOMA.
In short, the president is using whatever power he has to do right by gay
men and lesbian couples who want to marry. Remember, this is a democracy,
not a monarchy or a dictatorship, despite what you hear from some in the
Republican Party. If Congress were to put the Feinstein bill on Obama's desk
he'd sign it. If only Christie had had the courage to show true leadership
when a marriage-equality bill was sitting right in front of him last week.
