I just signed the national "I SUPPORT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF" petition to support our President's actions in the war against terror and wants you do the same. Click below to stand with our Commander In Chief: Jane Fonda, Oliver Stone, West Wing's Martin Sheen, Gloria Steinem, Rev. Al Sharpton and others have taken part in a national effort to "Resist the war and repression that has been loosed on the world by the Bush Administration. It is unjust, immoral and illegitimate." The organization is calling itself NION (Not In Our Name), and already more than 200,000 have joined the celebrity elite in this brutal attempt to undermine our President's policies. Using the Internet, and major media outlets, they are openly and viciously attacking President Bush by stating that their goal is to "resist the policies and overall political direction that have emerged since September 11, 2001." As Americans who love our God, and country, this is outrageous! * * * * A CALL TO ACTION! * * * * We are tired of the celebrity elite stealing away our voice on key issues that affect our nation by proclaiming: NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE LIBERTY-LOVING CITIZENS OF OUR GREAT NATION TO RISE UP AND SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT IN THE FACE OF THESE DAMAGING ASSAULTS BY CLICKING BELOW: Through this national effort, Grassfire.net wants to deliver more than 100,000 signed petitions as quickly as possible to the White House, key leaders in Congress, and to the NION advisory board. Here's how YOU can help ... * * * ACTION ITEM #1 --SIGN THE PETITION We are calling on every American to sign our national "I SUPPORT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF" petition. Click below to sign: And after signing, we are asking you to forward this message to 20-30 of your freedom-loving friends--urging them to stand with the President and against the liberal-minded message of Jane Fonda, Oliver Stone and others by signing the petition as well! Thank you for lending your voice in the growing chorus of support for our Commander In Chief! Grassfire.net Real Impact. Read Feedback. Real Results. P.S. Just one year ago, political leaders from both sides of the aisle as well as the Hollywood elite rallied behind our President.

To counter NION's efforts, we are asking you to help us double, even triple their efforts as soon as possible. Please join the thousands of others who are urging Congress to support the Commander In Chief, today! + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + CLICK BELOW TO SIGN THE "I SUPPORT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF" PETITION:

Signed the petition and passed it on.
Nancy asked today if the Boxer is named for Senator Barbara Boxer--
I have since learned that:
The first Boxer in American history was actually Her Majesties British Ship" (HMBS) Boxer, a Brig of 14 guns with a keel measuring 98 feet in length and just over 28 feet in breadth.
So, the Senator is actually older and larger than this, making any namesake mistake absurd on her face, or, its face.

After a few more minutes, they came to another
intersection, the light was red, and again they went right
through. This time, the passenger was almost sure that the
light had been red, but was also concerned that she might
be seeing things. She was getting nervous and decided to
pay very close attention. At the next intersection, sure
enough, the light was definitely red and they went right
through it.
She turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred! Did you
know we just ran through three red lights in a row? You
could have killed us!"
Mildred turned to her and cried, "Holy Crap! Am I driving?"
