Today's Topic: If I Were President, I Would.....?

With the election going on today, we decided to make each of you "President" for a day. Now that you are ruling the country--what would you do? Would you give everyone Friday's off? Would you get rid of the income tax? What would you do?

 

~ President (Insert Your Name) ~


Scenario

Before you sit down and do this, please GO VOTE!

America needs you. You have been made President for a day because the current one is going fishing on the new Mars settlement.

If I Were President, I Would......

Ban Taxes?
Remove The Speed Limit?
Repeal the Beer Tax? (Have to get a plug in for Burkaman 4 President!)

What would you do?

We want to know!!

 

Now it's your turn to share. What would you do as President?

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.

If I were President I would ban CBS and The New York Times from the White House Press and from Air Force One.

If I were president, I would resign immediately. I am not qualified to be the most powerful man in the world.

Eliminate the income tax, eliminate the Dept of Education, and find out what's REALLY out there in Area 51.

I would abolish the Department of Education. Then, following the wisdom of another FReeper, I would appoint George W. Bush to finish my term.

Update:

Kids (and husband) had a blast trick or treating last night. Kids got LOTS of candy. We'll have school pictures in a few weeks from BOTH boys. First year we got JJ to sit for an individual picture. YAY

Hubby reports in to VP-26, NAS Brunswick, on Nov 8th. As of this afternoon we're 5th in line for JE (junior enlisted) housing, so you watch, the week hubby gets there they'll call us on housing...

Other than that it's your typical military hurry-up-and-wait around here. *S* Will update as needed...
