Sergeant Tony's Blog

“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” That was the first sentence I learned in my typing, yes TYPING, class in high school.

I never play politics with you guys. I don’t try to tell anyone how to vote. But after I typed that sentence over and over all those years ago, it finally had its effect on me.

I’ve decided to launch my own candidacy for President of the United States.

Here’s why.

I’ve examined the health care plans and positions of Senators Clinton, McCain, and Obama and all three are CLUELESS!

One of these three people will be living in the White House next year and all three of them seem to be out to lunch about health care.

See, here’s the problem: they don’t even get the name of their policies right. Simple English has eluded these bright people. (Ron Paul is wrong too!) Only Sergeant Tony is the one with the right plan! I’m the only one with a real health care plan. All three of those wanna-be-presidents call it “health care.” Is it “health care” when you have to go to the doctor, buy medicine, or spend time in the hospital? Noooooooo!!!! That’s “SICK Care!”

How about a plan that is ACTUALLY health care? How about a plan that provides HEALTH?!!

Since I’m the only one running for president with a REAL health care plan, you should vote for me, Sergeant Tony for President!

USMC Fitness BOOT CAMP IS real health care! Sergeant Tony is a REAL Health Care Provider!!!

How much do YOU spend a month on SICK CARE and how much do you spend on HEALTH CARE? When I’m elected President of the United States, you’ll be able to write off your Boot Camp fees!!

Think about it … and spread the word … SERGEANT TONY IN 2008!!!

NEW LOCATIONS FOR BOOT CAMP!!!

USMC Fitness BOOT CAMP Mid-town is underway!!!

You’ll find the Midtown Boot Campers, under the direction of Battalion Commanders Theresa Andreuccetti and Holly Guthrie, at EVERGREEN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 613 University across the street from Rhodes College!

The Quarterdeck at Evergreen is located behind the gym. Just enter the Evergreen campus from University. It’s safe, easy to find, and well lit!

I’ve been asked if Boot Campers can attend either location, or do you have to commit to one or the other place. You can attend either location!! You can even double up, attending Midtown in the morning and East Memphis is the evening!

USMC Fitness BOOT CAMP Mid-town has one class from 5:30 to 6:30 AM, Monday through Friday!

I’m still looking for a suitable location for Germantown / Collierville. Got any contacts or ideas?
