What is FIT-AIM-ACT?From their website...
We, the American people have been awakened by terrorism, and we must do everything possible to maintain our vigilance against it. To that end, we have established three national support campaigns called the FIT Campaign For A Stronger Militarysm, the AIM Campaign For A Total Missile Defensesm, and the ACT Campaign For An End To Terrorismsm.
F.I.T. is an acronym for Fully Intact & Trainedsm (secondary meaning - Fully Intact & Transformedsm). This campaign will be used to support our military in a variety of ways. We believe our men and women in uniform should have the best training and equipment to defend our freedom...with fair pay and benefits. We will also support the best possible services and benefits for our veterans, finding our POWs/MIAs, honoring our KIAs, and a FIT American citizenry.
KALIFORNIA KOLLEGE KAMPUS KOOKS VS. DAVID HOROWITZ AND FREE REPUBLIC
Posted on 02/18/2003 3:04 PM PST by Cinnamon GirlNoon time rally at University of California Long Beach. David Horowitz [and Ted Hayes], invited by the College Republicans, spoke about why we should support our president and our troops.
On a grassy knoll at the rear of the crowd, the angry and the ignorant gathered with drums and signs that read: "BUSH IS STUPID," "BUSH IS RETARDED," "BU-- SH--!" "NO BLOOD FOR OIL," ETC. They chanted "Bull sh--!" and "Racist" (which I guess applies to any Republican or person who supports President Bush) while David Horowitz talked about human rights atrocities in the Sudan, Iraq, North Korea, and asked why the "No War" nuts weren't upset about any of that.
In case anyone reading this didn't get the memo, these "anti-war" protesters are really ANTI-BUSH...

Please MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW for our "Siege of the Bastille" - a modern "Fall of Jericho" - where we call upon the biggest "stars" in Hollywood to declare publicly if they are WITH us, or AGAINST us in our "War Against Terrorism."

"I know NOTHING. (I just swiped her PING list.)"
HA!!
Said with heavy German accent, huh Ron?
"Perhaps someday Miss M will "de-cloak" from lurker status, and post an update here...Or not."
She's a good kid.
I'm sure for whatever reason she's chosen to do what she has it's a good, reasoned & sound one.
All I (ever) cared about -- when it comes to Merc -- is that she's safe & sound.
Thanks for the reply.
