Senator John McCain Visits Marines At Air Station Yuma

January 3, 2009 By admin

MAS Air Station Yuma, Arizona-? The senator representing Arizona stopped in at Marine Air Station Yuma last week to speak to local Marine Officials on border related issues, and different issues that affect Marine Corps training programs.

Following his meetings with the Marine Corps leaders, Senator McCain held a press conference and talked about the necessity for increased border control, to move approved goods and services more readily across the border, and to cut down on illegal immigration and smuggling operations of all types. He spoke of the need to reduce the high levels of violence and violent behavior in Mexico and on the US side of the border as well.

Senator McCain is held in high regard by most Military Servicemembers, both because of his past service to his country, and because of his honorable service while a POW held by the North Vietnam force during the Vietnam War. Rather than be released and sell out his honor and country by parroting political slogans he was instructed to say, he remained a prisoner of war for over 5 years.

Because of this he normally is greeted warmly by military leaders and rank and file enlisted Servicemembers alike. This time was no exception, and he was given the tour of the facility following the press conference, and after his tour, reception and press conference he returned to Washington D.C.

    Dear Internet User,

    Hi, I’m 23 years old and I make more money than my parents and so can
    you” Turn $6.00 into $60,000…read this to find out how!!! READING
    THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

    I found this on a bulletin board like this one and decided to try it. A
    little while back, I was browsing through several newsgroups, just like
    you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you
    could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial
    investment of $6.00! So I thought, “Yeah right, this must be a scam”,
    but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
    that you need to send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated
    in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom
    of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
    (There are millions) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over,
    and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
    figured: “what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?”
    Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!… within 7 days, I
    started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would
    end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made
    about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over
    $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it’s still
    growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made just over
    $42,000.00 and it’s still coming in rapidly. It’s certainly worth
    $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!!

    Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works….
    Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get
    the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you
    follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money
    than you thought possible by doing something so easy!

    SUGGESTION: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
    download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!
    It’s easy. It’s legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
    postage).

    IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
    illegal; and it is virtually no risk – it really works!!!! If all of
    the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
    extraordinary dividends.

    PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or
    more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful
    because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please
    continue it’s success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You
    will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your
    product is not solid and tangible, it’s a service. You are in the
    business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy
    to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the
    mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like
    you and me asking to be included in that list.

    ~~~>HERE ARE 4 EASY STEPS TO GET STARTEDDIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS<~~

    Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
    posting. Simply put your mouse cursor at the beginning of this letter,
    click and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, right click
    and select ‘copy’ from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter
    into the computer’s memory.

    Step 2) Open a blank ‘notepad’ file and place your mouse cursor at the
    top of the blank page. Right click and from the ‘edit’ menu select
    ‘paste’. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you
    can add your name and postal address to the list.

    Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
    your postings in different settings, you’ll always have this file to go
    back to.

    Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
    newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
    discussions.)You can post anywhere!!! There are tons of free bulletin
    boards if you just look for them!!

    Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
    message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste
    from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
    everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
    particular group, click the “post” message button. You’re done with
    your first one! NOTE: Please don’t SPAM or send unsolicited emails.
    It’s completely illegal. Send emails to all the people you know or any
    ways that allows you to, instead of SPAMMING.( Just a reminder).

    Congratulations…THAT’S IT! All you have to do is jump to different
    newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take
    about a minute for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU
    POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM
    OF 200** That’s it! You will begin receiving money from around the
    world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the
    large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
    you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
    **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**

    *Now the WHY part; Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a
    very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the
    letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the
    MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons
    respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now
    those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5
    replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125
    persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and
    only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now
    here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200
    letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that
    just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this
    message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still ONLY 5
    persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an
    original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer
    on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and
    send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at
    number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do
    you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
    internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!!
    So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so…
    People have said, “what if the plan is played out and no one sends you
    the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there
    are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the
    internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try?
    Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands
    of those joining the actual internet!!! REMEMBER, PLAY FAIRLY AND
    HONESTLY AND THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU!!!
