Longevity...........Is it Possible?

"We've already found dozens of ways to live an extra decade or two - in good health. The easiest and surest way: Increase your body's supply of glutathione, a natural compound that is a tripeptide (combination of three amino acids).

The anti-oxidant glutathione is composed of the amino acids glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine.

Glutathione plays a role in removing various toxic chemicals from the body. As a result, glutathione levels in the body are reduced by exposure to heavy metals such as… Continue

Baby Boomers and Toxins

The toxins we have let loose into our environment and our bodies present serious problems to our cardiovascular systems. For example mercury, which is frequently found in fish, can cause inflammation that compromises healthy heart function. This toxin can be discharged from fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, thermometers and blood pressure monitors and is emitted during coal burning at power plants amd at oil refineries. The mercury contained in dental fillings is potentially so lethal that the… Continue

Change Is Coming.......

Every season of the year has a purpose. The Fall is a beautiful season. The colors of the trees are breathtaking. There is evidence of change all around.

As I was talking to God one morning, I glanced outside my window and saw the wind sweeping the leaves off the trees. I started to ask God why He was doing that. The trees were beautiful just the way they were. Why do we need wind at all? We don't see the wind but we see the effects of the wind. There is nothing beautiful about bare trees.

I s… Continue

At 1:58pm on February 10, 2009, Daar Fisher said…: Hi Karen, THANK YOU for your thoughtful, affirmative response to my recent Michigan FairTax post - bless you for passing it along (but, you too, are most welcome to join us; I truly believe that there is a relationship between health/family conditions, and a compulsory tax on income - accompanied by a coercive tax code - rather than by a FairTax system which absolves non-principal wage-earners from audits, interest, penalties, and other gov't duress - see my LinkedIn.com profile; see also TenLittleFoxes.com.

For this movement to gain mass attention, we need to build an army capable of garnering 500,000 Michigander signatures in late 2009 / early 2010 in order to qualify for the 2010 November election. Having a list of over 20,000 members - and growing daily, we are now focusing on developing computer-using members for reasons discussed below.

Spreading the word; becoming a MIFT activist
Your help, in spreading the word to family and friends (nearby or on your social networks) is key to the success that we envision.

You'll referral will soon receive an email with an invitation to join our new private wiki. (To receive your own, simply input your email address at mifairtax.org.) Don't know what a "wiki" is? Take 4 minutes to view this excellent little video vignette. We are moving to a wiki, over email, because it's...

- permission-based you must "request access"
- a more powerful project-creation and coordination tool
- subscriber-run, "bottom-up" command and control

To recap: Act by spreading the word. When you receive our welcome email, link to our Community Leadership Wiki, where you can volunteer for leadership, or simply participate in Functional Areas support. Thanks to the internet, everyone doing a little can change things!

Together, we will restore a tax system that serves Michigan's workers and businesses, instead of serving politicians and lobbyists.

Hi Karen , As a Michigan-based entrepreneur, it is ESSENTIAL that you actively support TRUE Michigan TAX REFORM in order to make capital accumulation easier to start new businesses. For too long, Michiganders have been victims of our state's legislators. Most recently, under the guise of fixing our tax system, the legislature enacted the Michigan Business Tax. Trouble is, the MBT still remains a "gross receipts" tax, levying a tax even if a business isn't profitable - which was the problem with the Single Business Tax it was designed to replace. The MBT continues to penalize entrepreneurship and productivity, and Michigan is rapidly losing businesses, jobs, and families - daily !

The Michigan FairTax plan - a movement started by working, "salt of the earth," Michiganders - is your call to action to enact a rational tax plan that will stop legislators from being able to barter our tax system to pick winners and losers (like providing "tax expenditures" for the MOVIE INDUSTRY) - all at our expense! Our goal is to SCRAP the Michigan income tax because the system is broken. Working together, you and I (there are thousands of us), can get the word out about a fairer, progressive consumption tax - the Michigan FairTax. In order to give Michigan voters the power to choose, we are laying the groundwork for a ballot drive to get the Michigan FairTax on the 2010 general election ballot.

For The Facts- End income tax returns, audits, interest, penalties and 1/2 the lobbyists in Lansing

The Michigan FairTax will both simplify, and stimulate, Michigan's business / jobs climate in a dramatic and ongoing manner. It will replace the income tax and current sales tax, with a consumption tax (sales tax at point of retail sale) while un-taxing all purchases up to poverty level - this means no more withholding of state tax from Michigan wage-earners' paychecks.

What's more, every Michigan resident-family will receive a monthly "prebate" check, in amount based on family size (.0975 x $ [ poverty level per family size] ). This will ensure that NO Michigan family will EVEN BEGIN paying the MI FairTax on goods / services unless, or until, they exceed poverty-level spending. Thus, the MI FairTax rate would effectively be 0% on all monthly family spending up to the monthly poverty level, thereafter it would be 9.75%. A reasonable average effective rate, inferred, would be about 5.5% (that's without putting anything away!) Monies placed into savings are not available to spend, and therefore would result in a further effective tax rate reduction.

(We seldom email state-wide, generally notifying members nearby to events or initiatives.)

Under a FairTax system, points of collection will be dramatically reduced (from millions of individuals to considerably fewer retailers, many of whom are already collecting sales tax). With a Michigan FairTax, income tax-- returns, audits, interest, and penalites vanish.

Goods prices & service fees carry income / payroll tax compliance costs - "a hidden tax," ultimately paid by us. The FairTax will externalize these costs, making them visible. Michigan exporters will then be able to jettison the FairTax, prior to shipment, making Michigan products more competitive, globally. The MI FairTax is NOT applied to non-retail, business-to-business purchases, as this inseparably embeds taxation costs in prices of finished goods and services.

This plan is revenue neutral, as it-- ends "first fruit" confiscation of wages, stops the practice of hiding consumer taxes in retail prices, makes the true cost of gov't visible, and properly pays for gov't as we meet personal and family needs. Take action! - JOIN OUR TAX REFORM ARMY to bring Michigan back!

Made popular by the federal FairTax bill (H.R. 25, which was either co-sponsored or otherwise endorsed by several 2008 presidential candidates), this approach to taxation reaches across the political spectrum

Mike Gravel (D) - Mike Huckabee (R) - Ron Paul (Libertarian R)

Why the FairTax idea is right for America's working families.

Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff believes that it will take the FairTax to reverse unfunded U.S. gov't obligations, about ~~$53~~ $88 trillion and counting !!

By being involved in network marketing, you must be a strong dedicated, entrepreneurial person with a desire to make there life better. You understand the value of a residual income. I have the same desire and motivation.

I think that it is great that you recognize the value of the network marketing channel. I have found that I need to have more than one source of income. I have chosen to be in more than one network marketing organzation at a time. I would like to introduce you to a new source I have chosen. I am building an organization in a new company and am looking for people like you and me to build this team. I have the product that is perfect for this time. It is designed for people who travel with their car. Our product reduces emissions in your car, in a time when going green is important; extends the life of your car, in a time when people can't afford a new car; and increase fuel mileage, so we can save some money now.

I have recently have found a lot of people who are in the travel business adding this as an additional source of income, because they are able to help the people who they know that travel by car. I had one person make over $3,000 when moving from the travel business to Syntek last month.

Right now Syntek has a pre launch kick off. They are giving 50% more for enrollment bonuses. THIS IS HUGE.

Ho-ho-Howie (the holiday traffic surprise)

If you've been around internet marketing for any length of time
you're familiar with Howie Swartz.

Howie is the undisputed "King of traffic"

In fact, using Howie's tactics, I have page 1 google rankings for
several of the keywords I target.

Well... all I can say is that now Howie must think he's Santa
Claus :-)

Take a look the "Holiday Traffic Surprise" he's put together, and let me
know if you agree we should put out milk & cookies with "H-o-w-i-e"
written all over it!
