OPERATION SEASON'S GREETINGS BEGINS

In order to bring a "little piece of home" to our Troops overseas, we have joined our resources with ProudPatriots.com to kickoff our campaign.

Below we will explain to you everything you will need to know in order to help us bring some joy and happiness to our Troops.

Thank you to everyone that has already enthusiastically signed up to help. We greatly appreciate everything!

How can I help?

First, anything that you send is greatly appreciated.

Here are some of the items that have been requested:

- Phone cards (International)

- Music CD's, any genre including Christian to Rap music

- Books (Paperback or hardcover)
**Please steer clear of political books**

- DVD's (any genre of movies, but no pornography)

- Electronic handheld games (can be found at Walmart, Target, or Kmart)
**Make sure to send batteries as well**

- Socks (any size, they will fit someone)

- T-shirts (brown for work)
**We thought it would be cool if our Troops received a t-shirt from various States to show that the support is nationwide. Or you can make them at home and send them along!

- Portable MP3 or CD players
(Maybe several folks can go in together to do this.)
- Portable DVD or regular DVD players
**Also a project that a group of people could put together**
 

- Any XBox, GameCube, PS2 (Playstation 2) PSOne, DreamCast, Nintendo64, or Gameboy games. (Instead of buying new, you can find many used games locally at game stores. Make sure they aren't scratched, but they are just as good as a new one and cheaper.)

-Crossword puzzlebooks or any kind of brain teaser games.

- Footballs, Nerf footballs, soccer balls, basketballs, or baseball gloves, baseballs, or frisbees

- Christmas decorations

- Hanukkah decorations

***FOOD***

The weather is cooling down and therefore, CHOCOLATE is in order.

Any homemade cookies, candies, fudge, or brownies are greatly appreciated. We would ask that you package it in a tin with no rattling.

Any type of NATURAL Jerky is greatly appreciated as well. NO PORK.

Any type of candy bar, hard candy, or the like is also greatly appreciated.

***IMPORTANT***
Please pack everything in baggies.
 

As we get more requests from overseas, we will add to the list.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Most people don't realize just how important a little something from home is to our men and women. Especially during the holiday season. It can be the difference between having another lonely day or having a wonderful holiday.

Items will be collected until November 15th, 2004.

If you would like to make a donation, you can do so at The Proud Patriots (please scroll down to the bottom).

If you would like to send a gift card, you may do so either online to proudpatriots@proudpatriots.com or you can send it to the address below. Thank you!

All items can be shipped to the following address:


Proud Patriots
26 Towne Centre Way
# 741
Hampton, VA 23666

After the items are received, they will be delivered to NCTAMS LANT DET HRDS where they will be packaged and sent to our various contacts in the region. Most of these items will go to specific units or to one of our designated Chaplains.

The contact people at NCTAMS LANT DET HRDS are IT1 John Young and ITCS Steven Reeves.

What is Proud Patriots?

Proud Patriots.com was started to help bring outside organizations in to provide care packages for our Troops. We began ProudPatriots.com almost 6 months ago. It has been a labor of love and we are finally getting everything in order to help our Troops in any way we can.

You would probably recognize the members of ProudPatriots.com  because they are from our own Canteen. Anyone that is interested in joining our cause, please email us at proudpatriots@proudpatriots.com .

If you would like to print out copies of the letters for your work, business, Church, clubs, or schools, you can do so by clicking on the above logo. Thank you!

If you have any further questions, please FReepmail Kathy In Alaska, Brad's Gramma, HiJinx, or MoJo2001.

I'd hire Rush Limbaugh as my press secretary and have him give briefings to the press from noon to 3 every week day.

Make it law that for every lie used in a campaign the teller loses ten votes to his opponent for every person that heard or saw the lie.

and for every lie spread by outside sources aka 527's Like Moveon.org there would be a fine of 1 million dollars.

With approx. 25% of oil products being used on engines, motors,manufacturing and farm equipment, I would mandate that all oil used for these purposes would be 100% synthetic.

I would dismantle the "Universal Service" dept. of the FCC.
(those goofy fed charges that are a percentage of your bill on all your phone bills - think about all the phone service you have - local/long distance/cell etc - those monthly fees must run into the gazillions each month...).
Any money in the fund at the time of dismantling is to be used to purchase oil for the Strategic Oil Reserves.

I would authorize campaign finance reform to include:
- Free air time (during certain times of the day only)
- A candidate can spend no more than the yearly salary
of the position that they are running for times the
length of the term.
- Stop all matching funds.


How would all this be done ? The Paul Begala method of law enactment...."Stroke of the pen, new law...kewl"

Seriously, if I were POTUS, I'd propose an amendment wherein the only legitimate voters were those who were NET-taxpayers...and all those who sucked more off the Federal teet than they paid in taxes would be precluded from voting!!

Just like stockholders...if you ain't a producer, yer a leech...MUD

Bush should take a sword and make a line in the sand. He should plant to old glory on his side and the axis of evil and the UN flag on the other side. I would say anthing, but I would have a split screen with all good and glory on one side and the other side being dark and mysterious.

If I were President, I would:

1/ Use Fallujah as the new Weapons Test Ground for MOABs, FAEs. Aerated Distribution (ala "Ranch Hand") of combustible liquids (Gasoline) from C-130s. Then lobbing in White Phosphorous shells.

2/ Give Syria two weeks to turn over any accidentally "found" C-4, Semtex, Sarin, Tabun, Mustard Gas, Anthrax, etc. To the friendly Marines (Screw the UN!)waiting offshore. Lest the Bekkaa Valley become the next Weapons Test Ground for Special and Exotic Weapons.

3/ Declare every and all delegates and staff assigned to the UN as Personae Non Grata. Give them two weeks to pay off their parking tickets. Pull our checkbook out of their greasy paws. Empty the building and lock it behind them.

4/ Get rid of Military Co-ed Training and Co-ed units. Keep women stateside. While the men do the dangerous work.

5/ Sic the DoJ, FBI and the IRS on the NEA, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus, American Bar Association and American Trial Lawyers Association.

6/ Widen the Patriot Act to include more extensive wiretapping, surveillance and profiling of Mosques inside the US and Middle Easterners on Student Visas. Get rid of Motor Voter. Start having TSA personnel paying attention to Middle Easterners and not Grandmas and little old ladies with knitting needles.

6/ Give the FBI, CIA and NIS Carte Blanche to begin an intensive inverstigation into Senator Kerry's past. With the end result being an air-tight case for Treason.

Probably more later....

Jack.

If I were president, I would promptly vacation for a week in Camp David. I would then retire ($200,000 per year, plus office expenses), putting Dick Cheney in as president. This would make the liberals yowl loudly - all of which would be music to my ears!

If I were President, I would:

Keep the UN. It's on our soil, within our jurisdiction and under our control. Revise Charter to reinforce national sovereignty, self-government, property rights, human rights, and explicit limits to which the UN may intervene in any nation's affairs.

Redirect foreign aide to our allies, and countries that embrace democracy, property laws, inalienable human rights, especially full civil rights for women! Stop supporting dictators, even if it means losing a few strategic allies. We have to walk the walk too. Reduce UN funding by 90% or more.

Scrap the tax code, establish a "flatter" tax, incorporating mortgage and education deductions, but I would pledge to keep the new code under 50 pages.

Abolish the Estate Tax and all taxes on govt benefits.

End corporate welfare completely, and most economic subsidies.

Begin a Secure Borders & Coasts Initiative, use the latest tech to prevent intrusions on our frontiers and beef up all ports-of-entry. Focus on tech to scan EVERY ship container, train car and truck trailer.

Reduce immigration quotas and scrutinize visa applicants more carefully. Require foreign college students to account for their domestic travels and time away from school.

Abolish all government employee unions (start wearing bullet proof jacket when out jogging in DC). Reward performance and initiatives to improve efficiency and customer service. Consolidate all benefits, etc. Same as for Veterans.

Abolish union monopolies, declare a universal Right to Work Act.

Establish a National Voter ID, using biometric identity techs. Create a interstate database of felons, deceased voters, and ending most fraud for good. Require each state to adopt a single standard voting technology and procedures.

End dependency on foreign energy. Mandate hybrid trucks and SUVs and vehicles that use agro-fuels, slash regulations that strangle our energy economy. Build several small cleaner oil refineries around the country, smaller atomic plants and geothermal power stations.

Privatize education as much as possible. Encourage private and religious institutions and community schooling partnerships, groups of parents homeschooling their children together, a return to family-based schools.

Enact drastic legal reforms, reducing malpractice costs. Separate health benefits from the employer. Encourage market solutions to healthcare costs. Restrict all govt benefits to citizens and legal aliens. Deport illegal aliens without exception. Appoint federal judges who will guard our sovereignty and interpret, not legislate.

If I were President, I would:
- Recind unconsitutial executive orders, especially those issued by Slick Willy

- Pull out of the UN, and push the UN out of the US.

- Propose an amendment stating that the Constitution and US law take precedence over any treaty and international agreement.

- Pull out of NAFTA, etc.

- Abolish the Dept. of Education, or, failing that, cut its staff and budget to where it can't function. Use money saved to fund border control and deportation of illegals.

- Fire the remaining Clintonistas and socialists from the State dept. Then have the new State Dept. people remind countries that harbor terrorists that the US still has nukes...

- Support the Marriage Amendment - but expand it to the Family Amendment, which would require Child Social Services to follow due process, and recognize the right to homeschool.

- Cut the fat wherever possible, use savings to fund military.

- Start a Free Republic chapter at the White House, and open a Freeper Canteen in the park across the street.

(I haven't read ahead, but I'm guessing most of what I said has already been said.)

If I were President (Wasn't there a Popeye cartoon called this?)

I would:

Back up the border patrol with troops brought back home from South Korea and Germany.

Ban funding for the NEA, NPR, and PBS.

Do away with bilingual education, and bring back dress codes for schools. Also have a nationwide voucher program.

Make abortion illegal except where the pregnancy is life-threatening to the baby or the mother.

Make Western Canada the 51st state and drop MOABS on the rest.

Replace the UN with NATO to create a true peacekeeping organization, one made up of our real allies Britain and New Europe.

Get rid of Bravo and Lifetime.

But seriously, why should I give up being the Emperor of the Known Universe just to have Bush's job? :^)

Well I would do what Steppenwolf said in the song The Pusher. I would declare total war on the Pushserman. Also I would build a big electric fence on the borders. Plus I would find all those people that said "If Bush wins I am leaving the country". I would give them a ride out along with stripping them of their citizenship. I would have the Clintons arrested for all their crimes. I am rambling sorry.

Good morning Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME military and our Allies. A special HELLO to our Friends and Allies - the Aussies! Thank you for your good wishes on voting day. And, Tony Blair. If you only knew how much we appreciate all the support you've given President Bush! Thank You!

SIS! What where you thinking? Do you realize you've opened the door for Tomkow and his platform? OMG.....we'll never hear the end of his promises! He really is starting to sound like Kerry......promise anything to get elected!

If I were President.....hmmmmm.....I don't think I'd want to be President. I think I'd rather be a President's wife. Hillary told me how much POWER the President's wife has. And if things go badly, people blame the President! What a perfect spot, don't you think?

I want to say THANK YOU to all you good folks out there who are going out today and do your civic duty and re-elect Prez Bush. REMEMBER - Not only are we counting on you, but our allies and those who seek freedom are counting on us.
