PETA: Quiznos Adopts New Animal-Welfare Policy
I WOULD ASK THAT EVERYONE WHO READS THIS BLOG TO SEND AN EMAIL TO QUIZNOS HERE IS THE EMAIL LINK
http://www.quiznos.com/subsandwiches/ContactUsTemplate.aspx
The Quiznos sandwich chain said Tuesday it has adopted a new animal-welfare policy for the eggs, pork and turkey it buys.
The Denver-based chain said it came up with the policy in conjunction with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
"We are always trying to find new ways to be better corporate citizens, and we'll continue to seek those ways," Quiznos spokesman Joe Hodas said.
Quiznos will buy more eggs from cage-free chickens, more pork raised in crate-free environments and more turkeys that are killed using a method that PETA described as more humane.
The changes will be phased in.
The policy says Quiznos will buy 4 percent of its eggs this year from producers who don't put chickens in cramped cages, with a goal of raising that to 10 percent in five years. The chain also removed eggs from three of its four cookies on the menu.
About 1 percent of Quiznos' pork products this year will be raised in crate-free environments, with a goal of reaching 15 percent in 2012, under the policy.
Purchasing preference will be given to suppliers who use cage- or crate-free systems.
Quiznos also pledged to buy 5 percent of its turkeys by 2010 from suppliers who use "controlled atmosphere killing," in which the birds' oxygen supply is replaced by other gases. PETA contends that in conventional slaughter, birds' bones are broken and throats slashed, often while the birds are conscious.
PETA Vice President Bruce Friedrich says his group still prefers that diners buy Quiznos' vegetarian sandwich but he praised the chain for the new standards.
Privately held Quiznos has about 5,000 stores across the U.S.
I would like to clear up is the whole buy American issue. Everyone thinks the F-150 is a great American Truck and it is but it is NOT made in America. It is assembled here but that is about it. I will explain in detail what I mean by that. To make a plastic part like the dash-board or the center console you need to make a mold for that. You have to machine steel in 2 halves in the shape you want the part to come out in. This is a very simple way of explaining it but it is very technical thing with high tolerances. Most molds have to be built with in about .002 to .005 of an inch tolerance. A human hair is .003 of an inch and a piece of paper is .005 thick for an example. Now that I have explained that I will get to the part that will really piss you off!! I worked on a group of molds for the 2009 F-150 a couple of years ago. All of the molds built the center counsel and the instrument panel. The company that will make the plastic part is the molder and they actually inject the mold with plastic to make the part and then ship it to Ford for assembly of the truck. Summit polymers in Kalamazoo, MI are the molder for this package of tools. So the way it works is Ford wants the parts for as cheap as possible because they are trying to cut costs therefore Summit polymers gets the job for a rock bottom price. The price is so low in fact that there is no money to build the molds in the United States. Ford knows this by the way!!! This is where the shop that I worked at comes in, I worked there for about 6 years. They build molds and are based in Utica MI. Summit hires them to build the molds for the F150 center Console. It took about 10 or 11 molds to build for all the parts needed for the center console. We can’t build all 11 molds for as cheap as summit and Ford want, so we send 9 of them to China and keep 2 for ourselves. The shop in China builds them in a few months and ship them back to us. They test run the molds to make sure that they are good. If they pass inspection then they come back to us and the final thing that is done is the MADE IN THE USA logo and the FORD label are machined on the Mold. NO BS!!! If look at Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and BMW they have built somewhere around a dozen major plants around the US in the last few years. Ask yourself this question when was the last time the big 3 was built a plant that was in the US that added jobs. If you look at foreign cars sales 65 percent of them are built here in one way or another. I own 2 GM cars by the way before you attack me. I am not telling people what to do I just want you to no the truth on the matter. The domestic car companies like to say buy American but they don’t practice what they preach. I will gladly elaborate on this China subject further if anyone likes or you don’t believe me.
Peta chose Oprah as Person of the year. I find this selection funny because you don't get that fat by eating salad all day.
There has to be a pile of fried chicken or ribs in that fridge!!!!!!!!!!! By the way the previous winner Robert Bird some of you might know he was in another group along time ago the KKK!!!! No bull look it up!
CHICAGO (AP) -- Animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has named Oprah Winfrey its "Person of the Year."
PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk says Friday that Winfrey has used her "powerful voice to defend those without one."
Norfolk, Va.-based PETA says the group will send Winfrey an award plaque and a letter of appreciation.
Winfrey's Chicago-based Harpo Productions says the talk show host is on hiatus and not available for comment.
Previous winners of the PETA award include U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia in 2007 and the founders of the San Francisco-based cleaning product company Method in 2006.
I bought a primos buck roar grunt tube a few weeks ago for a wopping 24 bucks at gander mountian. The thing sounds great when it is set to dominate buck, but if you set it to any of the other settings( ie doe grunt or young buck grunt) it doesn't work at all !!!!! A few weeks ago I had a small buck in front me chasing a doe so I switched the buck roar to a doe bleat setting and it didn't make any sound no matter how hard I blew on the call. On opening morning I tried to use the call set on young buck so I blew on the call and all I got was a hissing sound . For almost 25 dollars I would expect a little better performance!! The problem with a grunt tube that will only work on a dominate buck setting is that it scares every deer off that isn't a 300 pound 12 pointer!! Last time I checked they aren't hiding behind every tree!! I would not reccomend this call to anyone except when calling to a monster buck. I don't know if the call has manufactering defect or the call just sucks I think the latter!!
At first I thought this was funny...then I realized the awful truth of it. Be sure to read all the way to the end!

Everbody knows about Heston's death this week. Here is just 1 of his great quotes.
In a 1997 speech, he deplored a culture war he said was being conducted by a generation of media, educators, entertainers, and politicians against:
"...the God fearing, law-abiding, Caucasian, middle- class Protestant-or even worse, evangelical Christian, Midwestern or Southern- or even worse, rural, apparently straight-or even worse, admitted heterosexuals, gun-owning-or even worse, NRA-card-carrying, average working stiff-or even worse, male working stiff-because, not only don’t you count, you are a down-right obstacle to social progress. Your voice deserves a lower decibel level, your opinion is less enlightened, your media access is insignificant, and frankly, mister, you need to wake up, wise up, and learn a little something from your new-America and until you do, would you mind shutting up?"

Political Hay
Bang Bang Kiss Kiss
By Robert VerBruggen
Published 12/31/2007 12:08:24 AM
When Americans nominate their presidential candidates next year, the Second Amendment won't be the first thing on their minds. The issue didn't even appear in a recent CNN poll that found that the economy, Iraq, health care, immigration, and terrorism are the nation's biggest concerns.
But in a country where 36 percent of Democrats and 48 percent of Republicans have firearms in their homes, the issue is still a locked and loaded one for candidates of both parties.
Republican presidential hopefuls, 
as expected, worked hard to win over the members of the National Rifle Association at the organization's convention in September. But even otherwise gun-shy Democrats are expressing Strange New Respect for gun owners.
Recently, Senator Barack Obama told a Harlan, Iowa, crowd that his wife Michelle had been traveling "up...in eastern Iowa...and she said 'Boy, it's really pretty up here,' but she said, 'But you know, I can see why if I was living out here, I'd want a gun. Because, you know, 9-1-1 is going to take some time before somebody responds.'"
So now we know that Obama's wife has some vaguely pro-Second Amendment views. Her husband, and many other presidential aspirants, are proving harder to get a bead on. Before they cast ballots for president, there are two Big Questions that informed gun owners want answered. They are:
1. Will candidate X veto anti-gun legislation? And by "anti-gun legislation" we mean assault weapon bans; gun registration; and attempts to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (Lawful Commerce Act hereafter), which prohibits lawsuits against firearms manufacturers when criminals use their products.
2. Will he appoint judges who will strike down gun-control laws? This is especially important because the Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of D.C.'s handgun ban next summer. A little judicial-branch muscle in the aftermath of a pro-gun ruling could set the tone for the next several decades, at least.
TO TAKE THE DEMOCRATS first, it's worth mentioning that not one official website of the three frontrunners prominently features the candidate's stance on the right to keep and bear arms.
However, the issue isn't totally ignored. John Edwards actually makes some pro-gun statements under his plan for "Restoring Hope to Rural America." He supports gun rights in a limited fashion, but usually links them to hunting rather than self-defense. Edwards also opposed the Lawful Commerce Act -- what, you thought a former trial lawyer would vote to limit legal liabilities? -- and supports assault weapon bans.
The other leading Democrats candidates have clearer positions that they're currently trying very hard to ignore. Clinton has a long-established anti-gun record. While in the Illinois legislature, Obama voted against giving leniency to people caught defending their homes with banned handguns.
Edwards's stance could peel off rural voters while ceding some big-city liberal votes to Clinton and Obama in the primaries. This is part of his overall strategy, including his faux working-class image and an emphasis on rural poverty.
It could work. Rural-dwellers made up a quarter of 2004 presidential election voters, and they're under-served by the other two candidates. Many big-city heavy states (California, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois) won't hold their primaries until February 5, giving Edwards time to build momentum in smaller states.
Edwards's moderate pro-gun position could help even more come general election time. Republicans only narrowly won rural areas in the 2006 midterms and aren't making much progress. In a general election, increased rural support won't mean decreased urban support, because city liberals will still vote Democrat.
THERE ISN'T A LARGE constituency in the Republican Party for gun control. Half of Republicans have firearms in their homes and few want to go grab guns from others. As such, Republican contenders play down any gun-grabbing tendencies they might have at least until the general election, and preferably until after they've left the White House and started writing their memoirs.
Those Republicans who aren't gung-ho about the Second Amendment walk a tightrope. They don't want to lose gun owners' support by not coming far enough in their direction, but the candidates are also wary of moving too far away from their former position, too fast. The shift can attract the "flip-flopper" label, which endangers their standing with both pro- and anti-gun voters.
Republican voters are a little more demanding than Democrats on this issue. They worry not only about stated positions but also about trustworthiness. Fred Thompson, Mike Huckabee and John McCain have basically strong, consistent records. Though McCain supports some control measures, he's done so pretty regularly. Rudy Giuliani and Mitt "I shot me some varmints" Romney, on the other hand, are coming off stints as Northeastern RINOs. They're praying to a benevolent Judeo-Christian Deity that voters won't hold their records against them.
Giuliani ran a city with a handgun permit system that bordered on a ban, and even today professes a sort-of federalist, ruralist interpretation of the Second Amendment. He's said, "maybe you have one solution [in a big city] and in another place, more rural, more suburban, other issues, you have a different set of rules," which would put him in roughly the same category as John Edwards and Michelle Obama. He has claimed to think D.C.'s outright ban is unconstitutional, but he's never bothered to explain why it's unconstitutional while the law he enforced is A-OK. Also, as mayor he sued the gun industry for legally distributing its products to government-licensed dealers.
As an olive branch to conservatives, Giuliani has promised to appoint "strict-constructionist" judges and stressed his respect for federalism. Conservatives have been skeptical on both fronts, reacting cooly to his NRA address and wincing at the notion that a fundamental constitutional right should depend on regional politics or population density.
As Massachusetts governor, Romney defended the state's "tough gun laws." He waited for his presidential campaign to join the NRA and discover that the Second Amendment protects an individual right. He claims the only gun law he would sign is an assault-weapon ban, and like Giuliani he professes strict-constructionism.
If Giuliani or Romney manages to escape hostile fire in the primaries, the nominee's positions might prove attractive to some moderates. But he would have a much harder time than any of the basically pro-gun candidates in bringing home the normal pro-gun vote, if the Supreme Court strikes D.C.'s gun ban down, or harnessing the anger of tens of millions of Americans, if the Supremes narrowly decide to ignore the clear meaning of the Second Amendment.
THE GREAT WILD CARD in all this is the National Rifle Association. The Washington Times recently reported that the organization was considering breaking with tradition by making a primary-election endorsement. Head lobbyist Chris Cox cited the "front-loading" of the process -- if neither party picks a true Second Amendment defender, there'll be no one worthy of a general-election NRA endorsement. The organization doesn't want to sit out the way it did in 1992 and 1996.
Even the NRA's fiercest critics have to concede that its efforts -- from grassroots activism to Capitol Hill lobbying -- bring results. A recent Independence Institute study found that, in any election for a seat in the House of Representatives, an endorsement can increase a candidate's share of the vote by 3 to 5 percent per 10,000 NRA members in that district.
If Giuliani and Romney's gun records set them back a bit now, an NRA intervention could tip the balance in many close primary elections, especially if an announcement were made between Iowa and New Hampshire...
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
And other birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see..... our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.
Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; ! your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.
Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder. If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop
OLD VERSION*:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the
summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY : Be responsible for yourself!

*UPDATED VERSION:*
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the
summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands
to know why the ant should be warm and well fed while others are cold and
starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering
grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table
filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is
allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries
when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the
news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Jesse then has
the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the
ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an
immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to
hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay
his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation
suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges
that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the
ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the
ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it. The ant
has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related
incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders
who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

Microsoft Funds the Anti-Hunting Movement
(Columbus) – Microsoft has rejected a U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance request to abandon its partnership with the nation’s leading anti-hunting organization.
Microsoft, the software giant, will make a $100,000 donation to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and is partnering with the group on a pilot program called the i’m Initiative. Through the new program, whenever a Windows Live Messenger user has a conversation using i’m, Microsoft will give a portion of the program’s advertising revenue to one of ten organizations selected by the user. The HSUS is one of the choices, and there is no limit to the amount of money that can be donated.
The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, the nation’s leading sportsmen’s advocacy organization, has urged Microsoft to end its support of HSUS, but the company refused. According to Microsoft representative Tara Kriese, Microsoft believes the i’m Initiative is “a great way to enable people to help causes that are important to them.”
“Microsoft is going to pour hundreds of thousands of dollars, probably more, into an organization that recently issued a manifesto that targets hunting for extinction,” said USSA President Bud Pidgeon. “If there was ever a time for sportsmen to take grassroots action, this is it.”
Sportsmen should contact Microsoft and demand that its financial support of HSUS be terminated. Contact Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft, 1 Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052. Phone: (425) 882-8080. Fax: (425) 936-7329.
The Humane Society of the United States opposes all animal use, including trapping, hunting and fishing. It was a key player in the campaigns to outlaw dove hunting in Michigan, trapping in California, and black bear hunting in Colorado. The organization has created a hit list of hunting traditions that it hopes to dismantle, including bear hunting and hunting with hounds.
“The HSUS already has a multi-million dollar budget that it invests in legislative and ballot campaigns to ban trapping and hunting,” said Pidgeon. “The partnership that it has formed with Microsoft, the maker of the Xbox, will allow the organization to make money hand over fist, and continue to fund efforts to ban outdoor sports.”
Sportsmen can make a difference in an issue like this. Companies such as Iams, General Mills, Accor Hotels, Pet Safe, Sears, and Ace Hardware ended relationships with HSUS after thousands of sportsmen levied strong protest.
In 2002, Jeep raised the ire of sportsmen when it aired a blatantly, anti-hunting commercial called the “Deer Hunter.” After a flood of sportsmen’s contacts, Jeep pulled the commercial in three days.
The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance is a national association of sportsmen and sportsmen’s organization that protects the rights of hunters, anglers and trappers in the courts, legislatures, at the ballot, in Congress and through public education programs.

United States Senator replied to my letter on State wildlife funding!!! I sure it was just one of her aids but it is nice to see a reply. I would hope more of you would send e-mail and letters to Washington so they don't forget that sportsmen vote!!! Here is a copy of the e mail.
Thank you . . .
. . . for contacting me about your support for funding of the State Wildlife Grant program. I share your views.
This program provides essential federal funding to help states protect wildlife and habitats. It is important to defend vulnerable populations of animals and fish, and I support full funding of this program. As the federal budget process for 2008 unfolds , I will fight to maintain funding for the State Wildlife Grants and other critical environmental protection programs.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you or your family in the future.
Sincerely,
Debbie Stabenow
United States Senator
I received this letter from the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership please read. This is a chance for your voice to be heard. There are some Senators on our side and we need to give them support when they stand up for us!!!

The insane presidential election coverage has already started and it got me thinking. I was wondering who actually represents the sportsmen of our country. I know most of you are saying what the hell this guy is thinking, it is the Republicans surely!! Well if you really look at it there are several things that you need to hunt or fish. The obvious thing is game to hunt or fish. Of course every animal needs a place to live, eat, sleep and breed. Here in lies the big problem that sportsman should have with the Republican Party. Many hunters I know are getting disgusted with the bulldoze it and develop it mentality of the Republican Party. They fight any attempt to help the environment. We see a CRP field as good upland bird cover. They see it as a good place to have illegal’s build some low quality homes. Then they plant two twigs and call it a heavily wooded nature lot. Of course the yuppies who buy them tell you they have a bird feeder and they love nature so it all works out in the end. LOL!!! Republicans think that drilling in every good hunting and fishing spot around North America will solve our oil issues. They will say screw the caribou or no one goes way up in the mountains anyway. Remember Republican party line about ten years ago, the who gives a *** about endangered owls and the 100 year old trees campaign? They would really like to get there hands on the gulf which would be great because the Bill fish thrive in oil soaked water when some jack ass runs a ground a 1,000,000,000 gallon oil tanker. Of course by no means do I think that the Democrats have our back on very many issues. Most of the bastards are completely anti-hunting from the start. They would really like to expand your gun rights of course!!! LOL!!!!!
I am sure all of you think that Nancy Pelosi will be on your next deer hunting trip. The other thing is watch for the Dem’s they do this every year they go bird hunting one day and tell everyone that they are a life long hunter. Slick Willie did it so did Kerry. They do that because there adviser tells them they can’t shoot a deer and no one really cares about the birds anyway.
So to review the Republicans screw us on land and environment. Dems screw us on guns and hunting and trapping rights. As you can see we get F@#ked from both directions.
As sportsmen we need leaders who help the environment and habitat of our country. We also need pro-gun guys who set aside land for us to hunt on in the future.
We need to hold our elected representatives responsible for our outdoor needs. Look at there voting record and what they have said in the past. Don’t buy some bull *** line that Billary is a friend of the outdoorsman!!! So get involved and e-mail or call your elected people and let them know how you feel on an outdoor related topic. Trust me guys neither party is worth a *** unless you hold them responsible on the issues that we care about!!!!
