Every Step Counts

By Jorge Cruise / March 31, 2012

Walk, don't run, to the nearest sporting goods store, and buy a pedometer. This handy little device is an inexpensive way to keep track of how many steps you take in a typical day. And while running may be a great calorie-burner, simply increasing your daily number of steps can help you lose weight.

Aim for 10,000 steps a day. That's the number researchers say will fully condition your heart and stimulate weight loss. It may sound like a lot, but you can easily achieve this number with the following five tactics:

1. Take a brisk 10-minute walk before work.

2. Walk to a co-worker's office rather than sending an email or calling on the phone.

3. Park in the farthest spot from your destination.

4. Take mini-walk breaks throughout the work day. Even just 5 minutes around the building will help clear your mind and make you more productive.

5. Drink plenty of water! You'll take more trips to the bathroom, increasing your walking time. Not to mention the metabolic boost you'll enjoy from being properly hydrated.

These strategies will bring you one step closer to your weight-loss goals!
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!"

Mitt Romney Secretly Supported Anti-Gay-Marriage Group
Given recent revelations about NOM, liberal operatives see an opportunity to discomfit Romney and, once the general election is underway, paint him as a right-wing extremist.

Mar 30, 2012 - The Daily Beast - Michelle Goldberg

He donated $10,000 to the National Organization for Marriage, the anti-gay-marriage group whose memos reveal a strategy to divide blacks, Latinos, and families.

Had the news that Mitt Romney made a $10,000 donation to the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage come out a month ago instead of on Friday, it might have helped him. After all, Romney has made no secret of his opposition to same-sex marriage--indeed, he joined Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum in signing NOM's anti-gay-marriage pledge. His financial support for NOM might have bolstered him with suspicious social conservatives, and it wouldn't have surprised anyone else.

But that was before Monday, when the pro-gay Human Rights Campaign obtained secret NOM memos outlining a cynical strategy to sow racial division and encourage kids to denounce their gay parents. "The strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks--two key Democratic constituencies," said one of the memos. "We aim to find, equip, energize, and connect African-American spokespeople for marriage, to develop a media campaign around their objections to marriage as a civil right; and to provoke the gay marriage base into responding by denouncing these spokesmen and women as bigots."
 
The documents laid out a plan to persuade Latino voters that opposition to gay marriage is a badge of cultural authenticity, which seems particularly hypocritical given the right's usual disdain for multiculturalism. "Our ultimate goal is to make opposition to gay marriage an identity marker, a badge of youth rebellion to conformist assimilation to the bad side of 'Anglo' culture," one of the memos said. Most shocking of all, NOM budgeted $120,000 for an outreach coordinator "to identify the children of gay parents willing to speak on camera," suggesting an eagerness to rip gay families apart.
 
According to the Human Rights Campaign, after it published the National Organization for Marriage memos, a whistleblower came forward with copies of NOM tax forms that showed Romney's connection to the group.

As a 501(c)(4), NOM has to file a form with the IRS that lists its donors. In the public version of the form, the donors' names are redacted. When the Human Rights Campaign got a copy of the nonredacted version, it listed $10,000 from Romney's PAC, Free and Strong America. The PAC's tax records, though, showed no such donation. Eventually, the Human Rights Campaign determined that the money came from the PAC's Alabama affiliate, suggesting an attempt to evade scrutiny. "Clearly there was a strategy here to conceal," says Fred Sainz, the Human Rights Campaign's vice president.
 
Given recent revelations about NOM, liberal operatives see an opportunity to discomfit Romney and, once the general election is underway, paint him as a right-wing extremist. "As a leading contender for president of the United States, for him to be funding a group whose strategy memos lay out such a hateful way to divide African-Americans and the LGBT community, it's shocking," says Chris Harris, communications director of American Bridge 21st Century, the super PAC founded by Media Matters' David Brock. "When he initially donated in 2008, he may not have known that this is their strategy, but as a political leader and as an opinion leader, he has a responsibility to speak out and condemn their intention of dividing Americans."
 
The group has started a petition demanding that Romney distance himself from NOM, something he seems to have no intention of doing. "Gov. Romney believes marriage is an institution between a man and a woman, and his PAC made a donation to a group supporting that view," a campaign spokesperson told The Washington Post Friday.
 
Should Romney's NOM ties work against him, few will be happier than Fred Karger, the former GOP dirty trickster turned gay-rights activist who is running a quixotic campaign for the Republican nomination. Part of the reason Karger entered the race in the first place was because he hoped to embarrass Romney for the role that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has played in funding anti-gay initiatives nationwide.
 
Karger first became aware of that role while examining the funding for California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. Many of the donors, he found, had only contributed to one other political cause--the Romney campaign. Eventually, he says, he discovered that Mormons, who comprise 2 percent of California's population, provided around three quarters of the money raised to support Proposition 8. (He figured heavily in the documentary 8: The Mormon Proposition.) Soon, he became convinced that if the LDS church's anti-gay activity came to be seen as harmful to the Romney campaign, the church would back off.
 
As it happens, it was Karger who set in motion the events that led to the revelation of the secret National Organization for Marriage documents. In 2009 he filed a complaint with the Maine State Ethics Commission because NOM wasn't listing individual contributors to its efforts in the state, as required by Maine law. (NOM was so determined not to reveal its donors that it fought Maine's campaign-finance requirements all the way to the Supreme Court, which rejected its appeal.) The NOM memos came to light as a result of the Maine-government investigation.
 
Karger says he had nothing to do with digging up the 990 that links Romney to the National Organization for Marriage, though he's certainly pleased at the way the whole thing is developing. "It is kind of an interesting turn of events, I'll say that," he says, chuckling.
