Hi Terry & Group; (URGENT)
Was this sent today? It was not approved as of yet. In fact, i doubt it shall be accepted. I really have to tone down my remarks to the paper/ In fact, I learned with all conservative papers I can never use Reagan as a example if I am leaning as a liberal. They will not print the comment. These local papers (teabaggers are communists and will not allow anything very smart. But, remember, the town does not have smart people.. LOL
I actually been to that town several times. It has the Kentucky Lake resort and it was a escape for me from Nashville. But, i learned not leave the lake resort area. LOL
Also, this local paper, does alter comments. My 1st comment was mangled. They removed words. They last sentence no longer has any meaning after they removed a few words that bothered them. I have the original comment that I copied and pasted and the 2 are not the same. This is very common for this newspaper. I know I make typos. But, there was no typo.
Now, Jerry Brenda, the writer of the Anti-Gay, Anti-Transgender article continues to write. Therefore, I encourage everyone to send the same message, or add on your own message for all his anti gay article, new article, future articles:
Suggested comment revised:
"Jerry Brenda should be fired for his prejudicial anti-gay, anti-transgender statements, dated Feb 28, 2012. A retraction should be made by the newspaper!"
I wrote the paper alerting them as such:
Isn't it sad that a national campaign has taken place that designates Paris,Tn as a "hate town." All because the "PI" will not fire Jerry Brenda, nor offer a retraction for this vile anti-gay article, dated Feb 28, 2012. Please note that the following statement has gone national: "Jerry Brenda should be fired for his prejudicial statements and retraction should be made by the newspaper!" There have been others such comments sent to the paper and not from me alone. The PI may enjoy continue with positive publicity should it fire Jerry Brenda. It is guaranteed the PI will capture new readers on a national level. I guarantee it as the movement has begun! There are some brilliant writers such as Tony Kendall. This shall be a win, win situation if Paris, TN steps up to the plate! The days of Hatred must no longer be tolerated. This movement is peaceful!
The original anti gay and anti-transgender Article is here. Comment may be posted @ bottom of page. Note. the article's free edition expires in few days: http://www.parispi.net/articles/2012/02/28/opinion/editorials/doc4f4d0b2e92df5214400317.txt
However, please post comment to Jerry Brenda's new article, to continue protest@ http://www.parispi.net/articles/2012/02/28/opinion/editorials/doc4f4d0b2e92df5214400317.txt#blogcomments

Bush Sr, Reagan, Carter, Wilson, all have refused to defend laws and sometimes the Supreme Court sided with these Presidents. The only reason it's objectionable to the writer is because he believes DOMA 'rationally furthers responsible procreation and furthers a governmental interest of parents being raised by a married mother and father'. The problem is: Before DOMA, that was the case because gay parenting was illegal becuase of sodomy laws

> Next, much like Limbaugh, people are listening to Cameron. We must be worried when a majority of people listen to the enemy and favor the enemy. Fact, more people watch Fox News than they watch CNN and MSNBC combined. That is a most serious equation of a majority a America listening to a news networks as well as Clear Radio (Limbaugh) that airs hate. More alarming, who aired Cameron? CNN. If you watched the interview, you will see that that Cameron really owned the interview. Try being objective and listen to it. Study it. Cameron did make his case and did not walk off as a fool. That alarms me. He got a way with it. So I do feel that you should all be alarmed.
> Here is a fact. We can make a joke of Santorum. But, with Gas Prices forcasted to go over 5.00 this summer and remain over 5.00 on election day, just imagine if Santorum does win the Republican nomination. Just imagine if people are so angry at gas prices that they will refuse to vote for Pres. Obama. Imagine if Santorum becomes President and we have genocide against gay people and Cameron becomes part of the Santorum cabinet? With the statement s that have been made, I would be very scared.
> I sent a article from a small town newspaper to this group. It was from Tennessee. It was written By Jerry Brenda. It was very anti-gay and hostile towards gay and transgender children even at the age of 18 months old. I literally was begging for people of this group to respond to the paper.

Please write- "Jerry Brenda should be fired for his prejudicial statements and retraction should be made by the newspaper!" If you care to write more, you may. This is most urgent.
> I sadly need to to say that most did not respond. Appears that most from this group do not care. This displays a very serious attitude of the group. it displays apathy. We have a very real gay teen suicide epidemic going on. Than the Cameron's that make these type of comments are heard around the world. Plus, small town town papers make similar comment for all these teens to read. Gay Teens hear this and kill themselves. Remember when you were young, what you read, who you looked up to. Perhaps when you were 16, you might have been attracted to Cameron who is now 34. Remember, they still see his shows of when he was a teen "Growing Pains" that are repeated all the time.
> Guys, It has been no secret, I have been ill. I am just age 30. It is most painful for me, yet life goes on. I am very athletic, have a great job. With all this going on, I find the time to care and do my best to continue my life, not complain. But, when I hear "I don't care," this makes me sad. Gay people are being attacked on the streets. Gay people have few places to retire, where they will properly be cared for. Gay people have fewer rights. Gay people pay higher taxes. Gay people and persecuted for who they are. Gay people have higher rate of depression. Gay people have a higher rate of suicide. Gay people are often lonely. Gay people often suffer from job discrimination. Gay people have been discriminated by the government, charities, churches, neighborhoods, etc.
> So why do I work so hard to reach out if one does not care?
> Now, I am wondering if I am failing from my objective to help the gay community?

> PS. The only thing that gave me the strength to get better was knowing that I was valued through my work and private life. What I have been witnessing does not hold well with me. 153 people out of 16,000 sign petition that I passed (and most of the signatures did not come from this one group; but my others)? 3 write about the TN article(and may not have been from this group of mine)? This is not the effort I was hoping for. This is failure. Some other moderator may be required. I been losing my desire in the past as you can see, as I been posting less. The group does not sign petitions, or respond to the haters that I post. We have a problem.
> Notice, Yesterday, I gave out a White House Site for the Petition for Occupy. as of today, we have 3 signatures. Do any of you know how hard I worked to develop last nights email of photos, hunks, articles of health, gay rights, links? Of the 3 signatures, 1 is by me, 1 is by the author and 1 is by a personal friend. This is not acceptable. This is not a threat. I have lost my desire. So please do not complain to me as postings have been slowing down.

> > >> By Jorge Cruise / March 04, 2012
> > >>
> > >> I'm sure you've learned by now that skiing on the elliptical machine or jogging on the treadmill isn't producing the dramatic results you've been hoping for. As wonderful as cardio is for your heart, it isn't the most efficient or effective way to sculpt your body. An entire hour of moderately-paced walking only burns about 150 calories. Since there are about 3,500 calories in one pound, you can imagine all the walking you would have to do to burn the equivalent of one pound.
> > >>
> > >> The other problem with solely doing cardio is that once you stop exercising, your body's calorie-burning ability slows dramatically. Strength training, on the other hand, allows you take advantage of your body's natural ability to maintain an "after-burn," known as Excess Post- Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). The after-burn is the extra calories your body burns after you complete a workout. Your metabolism will stay elevated for anywhere from 15 minutes to 48 hours, depending on the intensity and duration of your workout. So aim for just 30 minutes of cardio three times a week, and spend more time strength training.

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?
