Do they detest kissing each other as much as it appears in the last two recent photos posted on FR? Why bother since no one is buying it!

re. “ping a ling to #27.... an anyone following the money? ping”

See also:

If you want your head to explode, go to the WH website and there is a map of what “Stimulus Fund” projects $$$ is being spent on, where, what the project entails.

Mind blowing.

My fav is over $15 million, slid through HHS to the Southern Nevada Health District to implement Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” BS. If there is anything LEFT of your head after looking at that map...Google the Southern Nevada Health District and it’s “media” outreach. They have hired this bizarre, stunningly bogus ad/pr type agency called Rescue SCG to infiltrate the younguns with social media, etc. I’ve been trying to find out just how much $$$ this joke is getting of that $15 mil. I spent several hours on it, because I was so angry. Still haven’t found their budget...it’s almost impossible to find some $$$ info which should be public. I’m convinced that this is ROTTEN TO THE CORE and should be exposed. I personally sent this info to a few people in the media, that have more experience exposing corruption, but so far, I’ve heard nothing about it. Personally, I think it is on the corruption level/importance of the ACORN expose. Wish I knew what to do next...just infuriates me that I found part of Michelle Obama’s little money/tax pie that is rotten and should be exposed.

Client Receives $14.6 Million CDC Stimulus CPPW Grant
March 22nd, 2010 // Clients and Projects, Press

Congratulations to the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) for winning a CDC Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) Stimulus Grant. SNHD will expeditiously begin a significant expansion of its tobacco prevention efforts, which encompass all five of the CDC MAPPS strategies, and Rescue Social Change Group is proud to be there every step of the way.

Since 2001, Rescue SCG has provided SNHD with strategically targeted and tailored counter-advertising services to reduce youth, young adult, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) tobacco use. These programs have contributed to the second most significant proportional decline in tobacco use in the country, from 32.6% in 1999 to 13.6% in 2007.*

Last fall, Rescue SCG helped SNHD develop its counter-advertising strategy for this grant opportunity, proposing expansions of the local XPOZ, Urban Fuel, and Crush campaigns. Here’s a little bit about how each of these efforts will grow thanks to this grant.

XPOZ is a teen counter-advertising program that specifically targets the alternative rock subculture. Thanks to the CPPW grant, XPOZ will be able to expand its reach by conducting more events and increasing its media campaign. In addition, more influential bands and social leaders will be recruited and inducted into XPOZ’s smokefree scene, while new cessation opportunities will be offered to teens that need to quit.

Urban Fuel is a young adult counter-advertising program focusing on bar and club promotions and campus-based social events to reach the highest risk young adults. The grant will allow Urban Fuel to host bar and club nights that focus on the service industry community in Las Vegas. In addition, new events on the UNLV campus will ensure that both college and straight-to-work young adults are reached. A direct mail campaign will ensure anti-tobacco messages continuously reach the young adult population and cessation strategies will motivate more young adults to quit.

Crush is a counter-advertising program targeting the LGBT population through bar and club promotions, special events, and LGBT youth strategies. This funding will allow Crush to expand from bars and clubs into all ages venues. A direct mail campaign will increase the number of messages each LGBT person receives, and cessation opportunities will accelerate the social change process.

Besides these tailored counter-advertising strategies, Rescue SCG will also be launching a local youth engagement program to tangibly support the local policy change efforts. Learn more about any of the four Rescue SCG strategies funded by this grant by clicking below.

Outcome-Oriented Youth Engagement to support policy change

Bar and Club-Based Counter-Advertising to reduce young adult tobacco use

Integrated Counter-Advertising to reduce teen tobacco use

Targeted Counter-Advertising to reduce LGBT tobacco use

Congrats to all of the other CPPW grant winners. We hope to have a chance to share our experience in youth and young adult tobacco prevention to support your local tobacco and/or obesity prevention efforts.

Jeffrey Jordan, M.A.

Social change is Jeffrey’s priority, evident in all his endeavors, from his academic research to his leadership at Rescue Social Change Group. As the founder of Social Branding, Jeffrey focuses on the relationship between identity and behavior to change behavior through culture. At RSCG, he provides clients with ambitious vision and strategic planning to realize their goals. His unique mixture of practical experience and empirical experience researching cultures and identity allows him to work with clients on the theory and application of behavior change.

At the office, Jeff provides team members with the assistance and guidance necessary to help them succeed. Jeffrey started RSCG in 2001, when he was only 17 years old. As an advocate against tobacco in his hometown of Las Vegas, NV, Jeff saw an opportunity for a new kind of company. Prior to starting RSCG, Jeff worked with the Southern Nevada Health District leading their efforts against tobacco use on the streets, and was named Public Health Hero of the Year in 2002. From the start, Jeff has exhibited a strong and focused passion for social change. More than a marketer, however, Jeff considers himself a psychologist, and is pursuing the science of behavior. He received his Master’s in Experimental Psychology from the University of California, San Diego’s prestigious experimental psychology program.

At the age of 25, Jeff’s passion only continues to strengthen. The Small Business Administrations in Rhode Island and San Diego have named him young entrepreneur of the year, among other awards for his company’s innovative work. He creates positive social change, and supplies clients with unique tools and energetic motivation to fuel that change in their communities. Jeff believes the empirically measured outcomes of these campaigns will lead to a new era of prevention and social change.

Thanks for all of that. I kind of stalled on figuring out exactly HOW MUCH of that $15 mil goes to the *cough* social media pr agency. I just might make that call today and waste 4 or 5 hours being transferred from one bureaucracy to the next....but I guess somebody will HAVE to tell me...it is tax $$$.

I smell something VERY fishy here. Will post when and if I find out how much is going to this bogus b.s.

I'm still not sure she is not a he

See, you just proved what I always say. The picture with the green dress proves that "she" is 0h0m0's husband, NOT "wife."

It's all in the family and Reggie is a wild card "filling in" when wookie is tired.
