This Blog Is Moving

Greetings. After this weekend, this Take Our Country Back Blog will be moving to the new web site. Too many conservatives are getting zapped by the intolerant dweebs of the Obama Goons and seeing that this editing platform is a free site, Blogger can do pretty much what it feels like doing. Hence, I now have a paid site and will be migrating the last 1400+ posts shortly.

So, one day, you just may click this page somewhere and it will show up as "private". It has been fun but the intolerant Czarbie Goon Squads are brain dead idiots. They can come play at the new site which I OWN outright.

Support This Effort


Barry Zito meets with soldiers from the Arizona National Guard. All were injured and each
awarded purple hearts.

Founded by Barry Zito in April 2005, the Strikeouts For Troops roster is home to some of the biggest names in baseball – the names that adorn the sports pages of the cities they represent on a daily basis. These players have pledged that with every strikeout they throw, homerun they smash or RBI and hit collected respectively, they will donate a portion of their salary to Strikeouts For Troops and the effort to help our American Soldier.

The 2007 season will be the third for Strikeouts For Troops and one that will build on the success of previous years. Strikeouts for Troops is a national non profit organization dedicated to raising money for our war wounded veterans that are being treated at military hospitals across the country like Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Bethesda Naval, Brooke Army, among many others.

Financial grants have been made to troops who have been wounded to provide “comforts of home” that will help them in their long rehabilitations. They may also be used to help family members travel and visit their wounded service member in the hospital – after all, we all know that the best medicine is the care and attention from those you love.

In addition, Strikeouts for Troops has provided meals on Christmas and Thanksgiving for military personnel recovering from injuries and invited their families and the medical staff to join in, has purchased gift and phone cards and holiday gifts for military children.

Strikeouts For Troops has participated in morale building events across the country and has provided support to the Fisher Houses, Injured Marines in San Diego, and the Gold Star Family Support Center at Fort Hood. This effort is funded by contributions to the “Strikeouts For Troops Fund” at The Community Foundation For the National Capital Region.
