Right now, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is gunning for wolves. She wants to see hundreds of wolves killed in the next five weeks, and she’s pushing extreme measures to make it happen.

Already, more than 1,700 wildlife supporters from across the country have donated to support Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund’s emergency Campaign to Stop the Alaska Wolf Massacre. Now we need to make our voices heard!

Take action now! Call Governor Palin at (907) 465-3500 and urge her to rethink her state’s brutal and scientifically flawed wolf killing plans.

Last week, Palin’s administration announced plans to pay a $150 “incentive” (a.k.a. bounty) for each wolf killed in specified management areas – provided that shooters turn in the dismembered leg of each wolf they kill.

If this doesn’t produce the results they want, she’ll allow state officials to use helicopters to track down and kill wolves. Given the speed and efficiency of helicopters this action could very well boost the numbers of wolves killed.

Call Governor Palin’s office right now at (907) 465-3500 and tell her…

• “Science should guide the state’s budget decisions on wildlife management. The reason fewer wolves are being killed could be because the state has overestimated the populations in the control areas. The state lacks sufficient information on how many wolves exist in the targeted areas or how many could be killed without harming Alaska ecosystems.”
• “Listen to the people. Alaska voters have twice voted to restrict aerial gunning of wolves. Even more expensive and extreme measures to kill wolves are unlikely to be any more popular.”

Please remember to be courteous and stick to the facts. Overly emotional comments may be rejected out-of-hand.

After you’ve made your call to Palin’s office, please let us know how it went. Your feedback will help us improve the effectiveness of our efforts to protect wolves in Alaska and promote sound wildlife management.

Please call Governor Palin’s office right now at (907) 465-3500 and urge her to stop the Alaska wolf massacre.

With thanks for all you do,

Rodger Schlickeisen President Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

An ignorant person may read the name and already begin to make STUPID assumptions…they seem to come a dime a dozen and give the United States a bad reputation as a country.

Some may see the picture and just see a beautiful girl.

But for those of you who love inspiring stories – please see this link and learn about one of the most inspirational stories I’ve read in a long, long time.

Thanks to Ladan Lashkari for providing this post on her blog, great story from such an inspiring person herself!

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer.

One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman’s sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved…

“I want to repay you,” said the nobleman. “You saved my son’s life.”

“No, I can’t accept payment for what I did,” the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer.

At that moment, the farmer’s own son came to the door of the family hovel. “Is that your son?” the nobleman asked.

“Yes,” the farmer replied proudly.

“I’ll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he’ll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.”

And that he did.

Farmer Fleming’s son attended the very best schools and in time, he graduated from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman’s son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time?

Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman?

Lord Randolph Churchill.

His son’s name?

Sir Winston Churchill.

… What goes around comes around.

Send this inspiring story to your friends to make a difference in their life… and you’ll see this kindness will come around in your life soon!

Whether it’s simply a marketing move or not – Dennis Kucinich is calling for the Impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney.

I’m all for it and so are hundreds of thousands of others, so far.

Show your support and let’s end the war and keep these clowns from taking us to ANOTHER war with Iran, which they’re TRYING VERY HARD to accomplish. Actually, I believe we will be going soon if American citizens don’t take a stand.

As you may have noticed from viewing my blog lately, I’ve been busy. I’ve been working on 2 sites of my own (1 I’m half owner*) + working on 2 other sites I’ve helped out in the past that seem to haunt me to this day + working part-time in the Install Department of phpfox + trying to workout in my spare time = a lot of working.

Last month I witnessed my income fall way too low while depending on Affiliate programs, all of which I no longer trust being a part of. So this month I decided I needed to play a little catch up and make a few bucks on the side. Unfortunately I’m in a small bind… I need to have 1 site done by next weekend and I’m stressing out about getting it done, which I may not be able to do!

Looks like I may have to use some of the extra money and hire someone to help me catch up… but unless I know the person — I don’t have a whole lot of faith in most programmers. Sorry to those who are offended but hey, business is business and I’ve suffered too many times at the hands of other programmers!

The 1 site that needs to be done has to be ready to launch by April 1st, at the absolute latest. This wouldn’t be a problem … if that was the launch day originally planned. Unfortunately March 15th was the actual day I had planned on about a month ago. Ughhhhhh… Baseball season is already here. Damn!

Oh well, that’s life. This isn’t the first time I’ve been in this type of predicament and sure as hell won’t be the last!

Moving forward now…

It’s 100% true!

Help Keep Northern Rockies Wolves Protected

Wyoming and Idaho are poised to start the biggest wolf massacre in decades. Together, we can stop them.

Speak up for our wolves! Submit your comments today to federal officials. Tell them to keep critical protections in place for wolves in the Northern Rockies.

It is important that federal officials hear what you have to say. Your personalized comments will have greater impact in the fight to protect our wolves.

You can use these points in your message:

• Federal protections under the Endangered Species Act must be kept intact for wolves in the Northern Rockies until adequate state plans are in place that would protect and conserve wolves.
• Idaho is not ready or willing to manage wolves to ensure their existence into the future. Idaho’s official position on wolves, passed by their legislature, is that wolves should be removed “by whatever means necessary.” The state’s Governor “Butch” Otter supports a plan to kill 80% of Idaho’s wolves once delisting has been approved and said he hopes to shoot a wolf himself.
• Wyoming’s proposed state laws about wolves are designed to kill as many wolves as possible — and only because they are wolves. The state intends to kill more than half of its wolves (16 of 23 packs) immediately upon delisting and to maintain extremely low wolf numbers thereafter through any means including poisoning, pulling pups from their dens and aerial gunning.
• Tell officials why it’s important to you that Northern Rockies wolves are protected. Include any personal experiences you may have that shape your views.

Rarely do I get a chance to speak positive about a company … mostly because most companies are lacking motivation towards Customer retention, to be honest.

But now that I’m stocking up on more Protein, Creatine and other supplements, I’ve had to deal with a few companies over the past few weeks.

Luckily, I’ve found 1 company who not only has the best prices but also has GREAT delivery time and follow-up protocols (Fedex Tracking, Email).

BodyBuilding.com not only has a great selection on Whey Protein, Creatine and other supplements but also Prices. I received my packages today (ordered one at 1:00 AM on Sunday morning and another on Monday afternoon) via Fedex and was happy to see that not only were all of the products there (yeah, trust me I’ve had missing products before!) but they actually hooked me up with some Recovery Drink samples, which I was about to purchase from GNC yesterday!

So now I get to see if I actually like the stuff and if I do — I can assure you where I’ll be going.

Most of the readers of my blog understand that I usually blast other companies for their products, service or lack of motivation … but luckily I get to do the opposite today!

Thanks BodyBuilding.com!
