I’m currently working on getting all of our Armed Forces and veterans working with the Adopt-A-programs throughout the United States.

If you would like to help with this effort, please call me at (928) 202-1186.

PS …. I’m a GoDaddy customer and ……. I have found if I want something done and I ask a soldier (man or woman), veteran (man or woman) or a woman, and if they say they’ll do what I’ve requested, I can go to bed with confidence that it will in fact get done….

HOO AH! ***** Semper Fi!

Hard to beat our Armed Forces men and women, they have skin-in-the-game.

Please join me on November 10, 2011, in wishing the United States Marine Corps a Happy 236th Birthday. I’m proud to honor my fellow Marines past and present on this special day. Please take a moment to watch our birthday tribute by clicking the ‘View 2011 Tribute’ button at http://www.GoDaddy.com.

I’d also like to extend this tribute to all of the men and women serving in every branch of the U.S. Military – Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force or Coast Guard. Thank you all for your tireless commitment to keeping our country safe.

Sincerely,

In 2002, according to the US Census Bureau, there were about 35 million “poor” Americans – people who were below those thresholds.

Now, let’s move on to the *typical* characteristics of these poor people, as mentioned in the report [by the way, always keep in mind that “typical” does not mean “all” – it is just a statistical average, and there are always some data that do not fit in this average].

The following are facts about persons defined as “poor” by the Census Bureau, taken from various government reports:
■ Forty-six percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
■Seventy-six percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, 30 years ago, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
■Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
■The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
■Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 30 percent own two or more cars.
■Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
■Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
■Seventy-three percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a third have an automatic dishwasher.
