Shared with me by a good friend…

ONLY IN AMERICA:

Only in America would you find a totally biased press focus on Palin’s so-called $150,00 wardrobe but totally ignore Hussein Obama spending more than $600,000,000.00 trying to get elected.

Only in America would you find Hussein Obama (the leading candidate in the Presidential election) who could sit in a racist, radical church for more than 20 years and never hear the rantings of his lunatic Pastor, yet still be considered “brilliant” by the liberal press and public.

Only in America can a Presidential candidate (Barack Hussein Obama) SAY he is Christian, yet chose a MUSLIM name for himself as a grown man in college.

Only in America (while we remain in a contracted war with Islamic terrorism and have lost close to 10,000 lives in the war and terrorist attacks over the last 20 years) can a man even carry the name of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA and still be considered a legitimate candidate for President.

100 Items to Disappear First http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?t=288342

1. Generators (Good ones cost dearly. Gas storage, risky. Noisy…target of
thieves; maintenance etc.)
2. Water Filters/Purifiers
3. Portable Toilets
4. Seasoned Firewood. Wood takes about 6 – 12 months to become dried, for home uses.
5. Lamp Oil, Wicks, Lamps (First Choice: Buy CLEAR oil. If scarce, stockpile
ANY!)

If you feel that you’ve received ANY worth from SurvivalRing over the years, from the downloads, to the community functions, to the personal responses from me, to the CD’s of data I’ve produced…well, now would really be a good time to help show that appreciation.

My desktop computer system lost the power supply a couple of weeks ago, and we really need to get it going again.

Read more here…or see our current donation numbers, and make your own donation here.

Donations will pay for the new power supply to fix this HP 864N sytem immediately so I can get back to work on the website, two 500 gig external storage drives, and a new motherboard, processor and memory to build the next generation SurvivalRing desktop support computer (I’ve already got an empty tower case, and will use all the drives in the old tower, once the new tower is ready).

ALL who donate and email me, will get instant access to over 15 gigabytes of downloadable survival and preparedness files, including DOWNLOADABLE versions of MY SurvivalCD.com CD rom productions.

November 2007 marked the TENTH year of SurvivalRing and my other projects being on the web. I’m planning on being online and expanding my offerings for the next 10, 20, 30 years (ok, the rest of my life), and having a decade behind me of success, should help you know that I will continue what I’ve been doing.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thanks for donating anything you can spare.

SurvivalRing is my life, my dream, and my passion. It’s helped millions of people around the world since it started, including through some of the worst disasters this world has ever seen, by offering information that a FAMILY can use to prepare, recover, or stay alert in any situation.

Support our work, support our foundation, and support your friends and community, by helping us stay online and expanding.

My love and appreciation goes out to all of you.

Have a safe and happy 2007 holiday season….

As someone who believes in being very self reliant, self sufficient, and very much in following your dreams, I am proud to link to my son Kenny Fleetwood (second from the left above), and his music, with his band known as Automatic Boy. He has just finished his first music album called “Airstrips Attract Airplanes” , written, performed, recorded and mastered completely on his own. He recently moved to Missoula, Montana, to begin the next step in his musical future. Kenny graduated with a college degree in music this past May, and will be continuing at the University of Montana at Missoula.
Visit Kenny’s website, give a listen to his music from his first album, and listen to more acoustic sets here on SurvivalRing at AutomaticBoyMusic Radio . And, if you like it, PLEASE order a CD for your music library. You can order his CD at nearly any music store. Save time, order directly from his website. And, thanks for taking the time to give him a listen.
