A Small Way To Remember Our Veterans and Their Sacrifices this Memorial Day

April 25, 2009
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington , DC 20500

Mr. Obama:

I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on
your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an
adequate representative of the United States of America collectively
or of me personally.

You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world
that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the
United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the
United States . You are not responsible to the peoples of any other
country on earth.

I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the
United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care
about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First
World War and the Second World War were all about if not the
consideration of the peoples of Europe ? Are you brain dead? What do
you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or
know the history of the 20th century?

Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States
does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the
Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ?
This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles
governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly
from this heritage. Do you not understand this?

Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all
Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the
king of Saudi Arabia . You don't show Great Britain , our best and one
of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the
king of Saudi Arabia . How dare you, sir! How dare you!

You can't find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation
because you don't want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a
mosque in Turkey . You offended our dead and every veteran when you
give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German
people from themselves. What's the matter with you?

I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have
the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be
ashamed of yourselves, all of you.

You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the
American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real
thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie
Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do
you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.

What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses
to their staff members - on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay
raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House
aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my
employer. You haven't said anything about that. Who authorized that?
I surely didn't!

Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210
million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million
more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives
have already been awarded $51 million - not a bad take. Who
authorized that and why haven't you expressed your outrage at this
group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right
now.

I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not
caring about what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing
and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you. I also want
you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and
say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities.

I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a
chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.

Sincerely,
Larry Usoff, USN Retired AND Every Real American

P.S. I rarely ask that emails be 'passed around'.. PLEASE SEND THIS
TO YOUR EMAIL LIST.....it's way past
time for all Americans to wake up!

The Minute You Sign Up You Made Money

With hundreds of business opportunities to select from, it’s not easy to find one that makes you money the minute you sign up. Most will cost you a bunch to sign up, and most will also expect you to purchase a bunch of inventory, costing even more. Many will expect you to be on some auto ship plan, costing you big dollars every month. Many will encourage you to sign up for on-line services, or third party training, all costing you even more each month.

The fact is, if you add up all the actual cash coming out of your pocket in the first 12 months, versus the actual cash coming from the business, you will find your business to be quite an investment.

Of course all new businesses require up front investment, but if you are short of money, it sure would be nice to come across one that will actually make you money from the start. If you are wondering if that is possible, the answer is absolutely. The business I’m about to share with you will do just that. Without even getting into the sales potential end of the discussion, let’s just focus on some simple economic and accounting facts.
The numbers within this article are strictly for discussion purposes, and your results may be totally different. Any accounting or tax suggestions are also just for discussion purposes, and you should seek professional advice before you act upon these suggestions.

Let’s assume you sign up with a business as a member for $40/mo. In return you would have a full business, full back office, lead tracking and auto responder, with multiple splash pages and sales pages to select from. So your only expense to be in this business is $480/yr.

Now lets say you use your cell phone, costing you minimum $100/mo. or $1200/yr. You also have internet service costing you $60/mo. or $720/yr. You are renting/paying mortgage of $1000/mo. and use 1 room as your office, allowing you $250/mo. or $3000/yr office rent. Your utilities may be $200/mo. and you allow for $80/mo. as part of your office, which would be another $960/yr. You may have several other expenses such as any advertising or supplies. However we will only consider those expenses which you are now paying, being in business or not.

So let’s see what the real picture would look like;

You spent out of pocket 12x$40/mo. or $480 for the year

Deductions from your Taxes Business membership............$ 480
Cell Phone........................................$1200
Internet Servics..................................$ 720
Office Rent........................................$ 3000
Office Utilities....................................$ 960
Total Tax Deductions........................$6360

If you are in a 25% TAX BRACKET ($6360x25%) You Save...$1590

Which means just for signing up, you have actually set in motion, to put an extra $1590 in your pocket at the end of the
year. You spent $480 and made $1590 or about a 300% return on your investment, in a recession proof business.

You can anticipate the tax savings, and bump up your dependents by one at your day job, (discuss with your accountant) and gain the additional money in your pay check immediately. Obviously building the business will make you more money, but as you can see, with the right business you are actually making money the minute you sign up.

You are in business to make money and not to get emotionally attached to any company or a particular product or service. Your opportunity should be recession proof, built online, be global, and have the largest possible prospect base. Because of all the above reasons, and over 40 years of business experience is why my primary opportunity is

How To Pick The Right MLM Opportunity

With hundreds of MLM opportunities, it can become quite a challenge to pick one that is right. Unfortunately most people will make their decision for the wrong reasons, and become part of the 97% statistics that will never make any money.

Do not select your MLM company through your emotions. Most companies have great presentations, many leading you to believe that their product or service is life saving, and if not used, most likely you and all of society will suffer serious consequences. Because of this emotional believe, most people in Network Marketing become brainless sheep, following the gospel mantra of their MLM leadership.

It matters not if your product is the latest juice, chocolate, vitamin, berry, or whatever, you are in a distribution business. It’s not some religious crusade or magic cult, it’s a simple business of distributing as much of a product or service as possible.

One of the primary functions of MLM companies, is to recruit a new distributor, and set that distributor up with various different product levels, as a means of getting them into the organization. This can be very expensive, especially when you are placed on auto ship every month, just to stay in business. From a companies point of view, this is called guaranteed sales volume. From your point of view, this could be very expensive, especially if you are not making any money.

You should also accept reality. Most likely you have never been in your own business, and you have never done any sales or marketing. Yet you are lead to believe that you will make big dollars, by becoming an overnight sales and marketing expert. Sorry, but chances of that happening are slim to none. The fact is, in any MLM company, the top 3% of the Distributors make the big money, mainly because they are sales and marketing experts. The rest of the people are nothing more than distribution clerks or consumers.

So how can you pick the right MLM company?
Start by accepting the fact, that no matter what company you select, if you want to make money, you will have to focus on becoming a sales and marketing person.Even though most MLM companies want you to make a list, and contact your family, friends, or anyone you ever met, in today’s world, most activity will be done on the internet. So the company you select should have a strong internet set up, and should encourage you to build your business on the internet.

Your product or service should offer a long term opportunity. Most MLM companies start with some unique product, which is promoted as some life altering solution, yet theinitial hype soon dies, and the same product can be found under a different name, at half the cost, on retail shelf’s.

Your market should be as Global as possible. A Global distribution network, offers you a much greater prospect base, and much greater business opportunity.

The fee to get involved should be very low. Let’s face it, just like you, most people will want to start a home based business of their own, because they are either out of work, or desperately in need of some extra cash. Spending a bunch of money that you do not have in the first place, is not the best way to get started in business. Keep in mind, just because you are lead to believe that if you buy in at a higher price, get more inventory, have a bigger title, or more marketing tools, that you will be more successful. No you will not, remember success will be the result of your ability to become a sales and marketing expert, and not the sign up fee you pay.

Finally in today’s economic climate, your selection should be as recession proof as possible. Why get involved with a business, which to most people will be a luxury, or cost prohibitive. You may have lost your job because of the economy you do not need to fail in business because of it. Keep in mind, when things get very tight, people will drop most extras, and MLM products are usually expensive extras. People will hang on to entertainment, because it offsets the pain of economic trouble, but they will jettison most stuff.

You are in business to make money and not to get emotionally attached to any company or a particular product or service. Your opportunity should be recession proof, built online, be global, and have the largest possible prospect base. That’s why my primary opportunity is http://tinyurl.com/cr46e6

97% of All MLM Networkers are wasting their Time

Just like everything else in our world, MLM has also changed over the last 50 years. Sure most MLM companies are still promoting the idea, that to build your business, you should make a list of all your friends and relatives, as well as any one else you may have met in your life. Invite them to a meeting, or go to their house and make a presentation.

There is nothing wrong with the concept, and should you want to use it, go ahead. However virtually all MLM companies offer their products and services on the internet, and some are on-line only. Virtually all potential Networkers (Distributors) are also all on the internet, and use the internet on a regular basis.

So this brings us to the problem, which seems to be growing rapidly. The problem all starts with the lack of understanding that most people have about the internet. Keep in mind that most people have no clue how the internet really works, and they also lack basic marketing knowledge to start with. Combine these two factors, and it’s easy to sell most people on whatever you want to sell them.

So you join a new MLM company. You are all excited about the product or service, and the sales presentation seems to imply, that there are millions of people who will become your Distributors. As a matter of fact, your prospects are all over the world, and it seems logical to assume that the internet will get you tremendous results.

You know nothing about the internet or marketing, so you start doing research on how to get to these potential prospects. You start hearing about new terms like WEB2 and how the best way to get business, is to have people come to you. You are lead to believe that with the internet, you need not be selling, just simply get people to come to you, and capture their business, by showering them with free information. This will make you look like a great guy, and will get you tons of business.

To get these prospects to come to you, you will need the very latest system or course, which can be found on the internet by the thousands. Most advertise you will be making immediate money, by using their product, and by sending thousands of other people like yourself to their system. They will pay you a commission, making you an affiliate.

As a matter of fact, you will be making more money, the more you use and promote their system or course. Since you may have limited marketing knowledge, and know little about how the internet really works, all these systems sound great, and certainly they all make a lot of sense.

You will start using Social Networks, Twitter, Safelists, Free Classifieds, Ezyne Ads, and a variety of other marketing methods. All these are good, but the problem is, that overnight you have gone from the focus and promotion of a single MLM company that you just joined, to promoting a variety of different systems and courses. You are now placing ads on how someone can get hundreds of leads, or you are spending all day making postings on a social network sites, with the hope that someone will just sign up with you, and you will never have to make a presentation.

The reality is, the people who are making the big dollars, are the people selling you these marketing systems and courses. You on the other hand are running fast, giving it your all, and not building your primary business. You will keep looking for new or better marketing systems or courses, in an endless pursuit of trying to find the magic formula for sponsoring thousands of people.
That’s why 97% of all people involved in MLM are wasting their time, and will never make the money they are looking for.

Any MLM is a distribution business. This means you need to sell the product or service to as many new Distributors as possible. Selling is the operative word. There is no substitute for selling, and no magic system, lead generating miracle, or secret course, will replace selling. There are no turn key systems and overnight marketing miracles. Any system will require lots of effort, consistent action, endless failures, and much repetitious marketing and selling.

Yes learn about internet marketing methods, but stop trying to be an affiliate for one or several other organizations. Focus on the MLM company that you joined. Use your knowledge and tools to advertise your MLM company. Focus on one thing and one thing only. Your time is the most important asset you have, use every minute to sell your products and services. If you want to focus on being an affiliate, then quit your MLM company, and become an affiliate marketer.

You are in business to make money and not to get emotionally attached to any company or a particular product or service. Your opportunity should be recession proof, built online, be global, and have the largest possible prospect base. That’s why my primary opportunity is http://tinyurl.com/cr46e6

The Myth About MLM Sales

Thousands of people want the opportunity to make some extra money. Yet one of the first questions they usually ask when contacted about an MLM opportunity is, is there any sales involved. Since the truth would cause immediate rejection, most MLM companies have developed carefully scripted responses, which clearly imply, that no sales is involved. Yet nothing is further from the truth.

Any MLM opportunity is an opportunity to build a large distribution network, for distributing products or services. Any distribution of a product or service implies that a seller presents a product to a buyer, and the buyer decides to purchase the product. No matter what country you’re from, or what MLM opportunity you’re involved with, that transaction is called Sales.
Whatever carefully scripted jargon an MLM company develops, the truth is that any MLM opportunity is predominantly nothing else but sales.

Most people as with so many other things have absolutely no clue as to what sales is all about, or how it works. All they know is that they hate sales people, and do not want to be looked upon as a sales person. They also hate to be trying to sell their friends and relatives, which is what virtually all MLM companies encourage them to do.

The details of why people purchase something we will leave for another day. However in summary, most sales take place, when someone has a need, which in turn is satisfied by a certain product or service, and is presented by someone of trust. They key words here are need, satisfied, and trust. Without those three words, most likely a sale will not take place.

So no matter how good your MLM product or service is, unless the person you are communicating with, has a need for what you offer, chances are they will not purchase from you. But most importantly, if they have a doubt about you or what you are saying, they will not have trust, and a doubtful prospect will always end up saying no.
The fact is that all MLM opportunities are pure sales. So next time a prospective distributor asks you, are there sales involved, be truthful, and answer with an absolute yes. The opportunity is not some magic game, it’s a big distribution business, and can only grow by selling products and services.

Those seeking to make money in MLM must understand that it’s not some hobby, done with some cult like series of hyped meetings. It is a serious business of distribution, which will require lots of effort, and hard work, and most of it in the act of selling.

You are in business to make money and not to get emotionally attached to any company or a particular product or service. Your opportunity should be recession proof, built online, be global, and have the largest possible prospect base. That’s why my primary opportunity is http://tinyurl.com/cr46e6

What Business Are You In

Most people come across a specific product or service, get excited about the sales presentation, and decide to commit themselves to the offering of the MLM company, like it’s some kind of cult or religious following.

It’s great to have a true appreciation for a particular product or service. It’s also great to be part of a company that has a good compensation plan, great corporate direction, and a long term future.

But what’s even more important, is to remember you’re not in some kind of magic group wonderland, but in product or service distribution. No matter what your product or service, no matter how magic the corporate plan, the cold reality is, you’re in distribution.

The objective is to distribute as much of a product or service as possible, making as much money as possible. No matter how great the compensation plan, the people who make the most money are the people, who distribute the most product or service.

So what business are you really in. You’re in the business of distributing products or services. The best way to do that is to have as many customers as possible. That means the number one objective has to be, to find as many new customers as you can. In the MLM business, that means your objective has to be to find as many new distributors as you can, and to work with them so they can find as many as they can.

To find new distributors, you need to have as many leads as possible coming your way. The more leads you have, the more new distributors you will end up with. Getting leads, converting them to distributors, is what it’s all about.

So your primary business is LEAD generation, that’s the Business you’re in. No matter what MLM opportunity you are excited about, you’re in the business of LEAD generation. Generate new leads, and you will be the top money earner in any MLM opportunity.


You are in business to make money and not to get emotionally attached to any company or a particular product or service. Your opportunity should be recession proof, built online, be global, and have the largest possible prospect base. That’s why my primary opportunity is http://tinyurl.com/cr46e6

Focus On What People Want

Nobody got out of bed this morning wanting a new house. But thousands of people got out of bed this morning, wanting to have another room to use as an office, or for another child. Or they wanted to live closer to work, or in a better neighborhood. So if you are a Real Estate agent and you want to sell them something, sell them what they want, not a house. People want benefits and the pleasure it causes.

People do not want to be Network Marketing Distributors, so stop trying to sign them up to be one. If you keep trying to make them distributors, they will resist, because that’s not what they want. They are probably already busy with their life and family, and the last thing they want is to be a distributor for some company.

Yet every MLM opportunity encourages you to sign up as many people as possible, so you can build an organization. Even if you do by chance succeed in doing so, most likely your organization will die in a short period of time. People do not want to be distributors, and no matter how much you try to fool them by saying this is not sales, or everyone will want this product or service, they will very quickly find out the truth.

Think about it, how many of your friends, relatives, or people you know, want to be distributors. How many of them have any clue as to what it takes to run a major distribution business. So what sense does it make, to chase them with your opportunity?

Look, what people want is a better lifestyle, more pleasure or relaxation, or financial resources to get what they want. Some people dream about all these things constantly, but are not willing to pay the price. They are not willing to take the right action, to put in the work it takes, and to accept the fact that great success is usually preceded by much pain and failure. These are the people who usually go to all opportunity meetings, purchase all tools, complain about everything, and never get any results.

You want people who understand all this, who are willing to do the work, who are willing to pay the price. People that know that MLM is just a business format, that is no different from any other business format, and demands all the same intense effort as any business does. They do not want to be just distributors, but are willing to do whatever it takes, to get the rewards MLM offers.

So if you want to build a huge organization, stop chasing all the wrong people. Find a way to get the right people to come to you. People that want to work, and want the same as you. People that understand MLM is not a get rich quick gimmick, but a serious business format.

To find these people you will need a System that lets you expose your opportunity, and get them to come to you, wanting to be part of your opportunity. They need to trust you, and understand that you truly have their best interest at heart.

You are in business to make money and not to get emotionally attached to any company or a particular product or service. Your opportunity should be recession proof, built online, be global, and have the largest possible prospect base. That’s why my primary opportunity is http://tinyurl.com/cr46e6
