The Obamessiah is at it again

Ok all you Obamessiahs, here's yet another reason why I am not voting for him. He is going to continue Bush's faith based programs which include hiring and firing based on faith. First he comes out against the California gay marriages stating Marriage is between a man and a woman, now he is pushing this religious crap. I am going to keep sending this message in hopes that people think before they vote.

McCain is not any better, he is going to push a gay marriage federal ban, and most likely keep us in Iraq forever. Neither is a good choice. I am going to WRITE IN my vote for HILLARY CLINTON. At least my conscience will be clear and the chips will fall as they may. The only exceptions as of now would be if McCain picks an uber conservative asshole like Romney or Huckabee as his running mate, or of cousre unless Obama wisens up and chooses Hillary as his running mate. But I don't see that happening.

Maybe there is still hope.....

Will Hillary Clinton follow the suit of Theodore Roosevelt who ran as an independent candidate after loosing the nomination of the Republican Party in 1912? According to some members of the former first lady's inner circle, such a possibility is seriously considered. Joe Rohtstein of U.S. Politics Today wrote on April 24 that Clinton as an independent would win among women and Hispanics, defeating Obama in most populous states and endangering McCain in the South. If the Republican candidate performed poorly, she would stand a chance to win the entire national presidential election.

I HOPE SO!!! If not, I am writing her name in on the ballot. I am not voting for Obama as much as his cult members want me to. I would vote for McCain, but frankly I've had enough of Republican fuck-ups. It's Hillary or bust for me. I am going to post a message of support for this movement on Hillary's official campaign site. I encourage all of us Hillarians to do the same. Just say no to Obama!!!!

I'm gonna be committed!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Lazy I guess. Let's see what's been going on since I posted last. Oh yeah, I quit my job and have a new one. I know I know! I hate the bug job. I just never fit in. I woke up with heart palpitations one day, obviously from stress about work, Tim told me to quit. My health is way more important. So what am I doing now. I am back to my old employer, Papyrus. I loved working there but alas they closed my store a year and a half ago. I am now at another store as a third key manager. I am stress free, except for those damn papers. I am still going on interviews. I am not giving up on working in marketing. I now just don't have to rush into anything.

I also have some big news. Tim and I are going to be committed. Yep, that's right... COMMITTED... as in married. Our 10 year anniversary (can you believe he put up with me that long) is next March. We have been planning on having a party for it anyway, so we decided to have a short ceremony before hand.The date is Saturday March 28, time and place are TBD. Don't worry invitations will be send out in the Fall sometime. It's fun doing the planning, and challenging to stay within our miniscule budget. I think we are going to Orlando afterwards to spend the week with friends and have fun in the Florida sun. Maybe go to the "P" to get our groove on. We'll see. Anyway. I'll be posting more as time goes on.

Dish sex-bias ban voted down

Dish Network shareholders shot down a proposal Thursday that would bar the company from discriminating against employees based on their sexual orientation.

At the company's annual meeting, a representative for the New York City Employees Retirement System — which holds 533,032 shares — floated a resolution to add a clause in the company's equal-opportunity policy that would prohibit discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees. More than 90 percent of voters rejected it.

"It needs to be clearly stated so employees understand they're protected," said Lewis Thomp son, a local representative for NYCERS. "We knew it was going to be rejected. . . . (Chairman and chief executive Charlie) Ergen owns 80 percent of the stock."

Executives insisted that GLBT employees are not subject to harassment at the company, which follows federal anti-discrimination guidelines, which do not include sexual orientation. The board of directors recommended that shareholders vote against the resolution.

Colorado has an anti-discrimination law protecting gay employees, signed by Gov. Bill Ritter last year. Ergen said the company follows state law in Colorado.

"We just don't appreciate the proposal," he said.


I have Dish Network and just sent them a "nice" email asking to get out of my contract because I am not supporting a company who discriminates against me. Please send them correspondence flooding their inbox staing your disappointment in the companies non-inclusion. The link to email is http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/customer_service/contact_us/email/index.asp

On another note, I'll be posting another blog in the next few days about my work drama. It's more of the same for me. BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!

Gay problem solved

So I was wiggin out over coming out at work after a gay slur was spoken by a employee. But I had nothing to fear. I spoke with my boss about my concerns. He said that if anything is ever directed towards me, it won't be tolerated. It is considered sexual harrassment. He said that they figured I was gay when I gave my direct deposit check to the owner. It was briefly discussed and was decided that as long as I do my work, it doesn't matter. I was told to just be myself and not worry about it. I may not like the job, but at least I have nothing to fear about working there.

I also want to thank all the well wishes I recieved about this. I appreciate it and won't forget it.
