Absolutely had no use for John Kerry supported by Heinz money
Didn't much care for his wife, Theresa Heinz Kerry who
owns the company and controls
the purse strings
Have absolutely no tolerance for the association and collusion between
the Heinz and Soros fortunes as they finance left wing liberal groups
like moveon.org and worldcantwait.org, not withstanding their recent affiliation with the Fudgepackers and Carpetmunchers unions.
Have utter contempt for a company would have the audacity to run
the following ad on prime time television. (The company backed down
and pulled the ad because of the public outrage.)
HEINZ PRODUCTS A substitute for the real thing!

A Guide for Activists
What can you do to raise awareness about the threat of radical Islam?
Below are some ways to get more involved.
Get clear on what is
happening in the world by reading a variety of reputable
sources.
Monitor your campus
and international newspapers for bias and
misinformation, and alert others when you see it. When
you see news stories that provide excuses for Islamist
terror, or that reflect an anti-Western bias without
showing the whole picture, organize a letter writing
campaign pointing out the mistake.
See how the Arab and
Iranian media present events. There are several
organizations providing important translations:
Your views as a
citizen are important to your elected representatives.
Organize letter writing campaigns to your elected
officials raising awareness about Islamist incitement,
and encouraging them to be pro-active about the issues.
You can write a short, personal email with a subject
line like: "Thank you for standing up for Western
ideals."
When you see
legislation that benefits radical Islamic groups and
terror supporting regimes, but does nothing to help the
populations being abused by them, help your friends and
colleagues write letters to your elected officials,
telling them to oppose such legislation.
Volunteer for a
campaign, and raise this issue to the candidate you are
supporting.
Campus Engage and educate the people at your university
Many college students
are intimidated by professors or activists who
aggressively attack their ideals. These attacks are
often based on misrepresentations of the West or its
motives. If you encounter bias, join with other students
to foster a balanced exchange of ideas not stifled by
misinformation or anti-Western agendas.
Engage and encourage
student organizations student government, College
Democrats and Republicans, cultural organizations - to
condemn radical Islamist incitement, and the threats to
our shared ideals posed by inaction and lack of
knowledge.
On campus, start a
booth or group to combat bias. Distribute information,
host discussions, and organize multi-media presentations
that will help inform people about the issues.
Show Obsession
or other important films, with a post-show discussion to
help people think about the issues. For more information
on hosting an Obsession screening, contact us
at:
screenings@obsessionthemovie.com.
For information on hosting an Obsession
screening on your college campus, contact us at
campus@obsessionthemovie.com.
Other important films you can show include:
Community Help build grass-roots awareness where you live
Point out hypocrisy
when you see it. When various organizations protest
alleged desecration of the Quran, but ignore physical
violence by Islamists against Christians or others,
stand up and say something. Write letters to the editor.
Organize a sit-in outside their offices, and invite your
local TV News stations to come and watch.
Moderate Muslims:
Create watchdog groups monitoring what is being taught
and disseminated in mosques, schools, and local and
national organizations. Work together to keep
hate-propaganda out of your communities, and guarantee
that the values which are important to you, are taught
and upheld. For more information on promoting peace and
tolerance, and combating radical infiltration into your
communities, contact groups like:
Campaigns Get involved with campaigns about issues important to
you
Is there an issue
that's important to you, like child abuse or womens
rights? You can find a campaign and get involved, or
even start your own!
If you're horrified
about the culture of hatred being taught to children in
certain parts of the world, then check out
Teach Kids Peace. TKP
encourages the promotion of peace education for children
in conflict zones, through raising public awareness, and
calling on world leaders to take action to prevent this
form of child abuse.
If you want to
respond to the treatment of women by radicals, then you
can get involved with groups like:
These groups can also
provide valuable information and resources for your own
campaigns.
Begin a shared
values campaign, encouraging peaceful coexistence among
the diverse peoples in our global (and local)
communities. Most of us share many of the same ideals.
By raising awareness about the beautiful things we have
in common, we can stand firm against threats to those
ideals.
Think about what's important to you
Spend some serious time thinking about the values that are
important to your community. For example: education,
justice, equality, and social responsibility. Why are they
important? How do we express them? Discuss them with your
friends and colleagues at school and in the workplace. If
you're a parent or teacher, engage your children in ways
that will encourage them to think about our shared values,
and some of the ways different cultures around the world
express them.
Live what's important to you
The biggest defense against this threat is to stand
strong, and strive to bring these ideals into our lives.
We should be as equally zealous as suicide bombers, to
choose to live lives of truth and meaning. Remind
yourself daily that you can distinguish between right and
wrong, and you're not being intolerant or narrow-minded.
One can be open-minded and still recognize that some
beliefs and actions help destroy the good we have
struggled to bring into our beautiful world.
