Good for you oxcart, I was thinking of posting this myself.
 
QUESTION TO ALL FREEPERS:  Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I could get purple ink?  I went to a craft store Tuesday night (A.C. Moore) and they didn't have anything like that.  An ink pad, but it came right off when washed.  I'd like a nice even coat so using a marker is the last choice.  Maybe a Staples?

Go to a Staples/Business Depot type of place and buy a bottle of ink.

I bought Parker brand 'Quink' in blue/black, and it works great.

Parker Quink, gotcha, and Thanks!
 
oxcart, I sent the article and link on Bennett's site to all the R's on my email list.  Even if they don't act on it immediately, they'll know what it is next week and hopefully join in.  Anything that sticks it to the libs.

But according to the blatherskites in the 'Rat party the "Army is broken", we're "losing the war" and we can "never win."

And all this time I thought Tokyo Rose was dead! LOL

Semper Fi,
Kelly

...With our troops, with our allies, and with the brave Iraqis, we look forward to a new birth of freedom in Iraq; and want to do what we can to show our soldiers, our allies, and — most importantly — the Iraqis, that we stand with them as they stand for themselves.

Starting on Monday, December 12th, I — and tens of thousands of others across America — will be marking my right index finger with purple ink to show those in Iraq we support them. Based on suggestions from listeners on my nationally syndicated radio show, I — and we — are asking you (to the degree physically feasible) to make available an ink pad or marker at your check-out counters for your customers, to mark their fingers with ink as they leave your store.

Just as I believe in a politics of liberty, I also believe in an economy based on free market principles. Making an ink pad available for your customers who would like to show their support for those principles in your stores through December 15th is what I am asking, in support of that politics and that economy. You may wish to alert your local media of your doing this, for added publicity of the cause outlined above, and your support of it.

Let us all look forward to a day when all men, women, and children can live in freedom. Until then, let us do what we can for those that we can.

For more information, you can go to www.purplefingerforfreedom.org.

Sincerely,


William J. Bennett

Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see
the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.  

 

Show Your Support For Free Iraqis:
  1. Ink your finger purple from Dec. 12 - 15

  2. Email Us a photo of you or your group with your hand raised in a V-for-Victory sign like the Iraqi Voter

  3. Download the model lesson plan for teachers

  4. Help Spread the Word

  5. Add your organization to the Solidarity with Free Iraqis ad hoc committee

  6. Show your purple finger: At work, at school, while walking jogging and shopping: Flash the V-for-Victory sign with your purpled index finger

  7. Email and tell us what you are doing to show solidarity with free Iraqis

  8. Wear a purple ribbon or hang them about.

AC Moore has Staz-On ink pads in their sale flyer this week. "Royal purple" is in the ad. The ink is permanent. A purple sharpie or other permanent marker, or purple artist oil color from the art supply section will also work.
