 <title>Target Go International-Rodarte For Target</title>
 <link>http://cheap-chic.fabsugar.com/Target-Go-International-Rodarte-Target-6669648</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://cheap-chic.fabsugar.com/Target-Go-International-Rodarte-Target-6669648&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go International For Target&lt;/strong&gt; never seems to disappoint. The newest addition to the &quot;&lt;strong&gt;designer for less&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; is &lt;strong&gt;Rodarte&lt;/strong&gt;. The line by the &lt;strong&gt;Kate&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Laura Mulleavy&lt;/strong&gt; features a edgy-chic, feminine style. Layering is the key. &lt;strong&gt;Target&lt;/strong&gt; always holding true to their price point of affordability prices range $9.99 to $79.99. I enjoy the edginess with a spice girlish charm. &lt;strong&gt;Rodarte for Target&lt;/strong&gt; will be available December 20-January 31. Do not hesitate to get your favorite items because I have a feeling this collection with not stay in stores for very long.&lt;br /&gt;
 What do you think of the line? Is it a YAY OR A NAY?&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Target - Black Friday Deals</title>
 <link>http://liberal-sugar.tressugar.com/Target---Black-Friday-Deals-6216381</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://liberal-sugar.tressugar.com/Target---Black-Friday-Deals-6216381&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=95 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/cm3/304/3040631/46_2009/74a2a11927baa252_49.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I saw this ad tonight and thought you ladies may be interested in knowing about the Target deal early. I also cut this article down because it was REALLY long.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Retailer&#039;s &#039;doorbuster discounts&#039; reportedly include a &lt;b&gt;32-inch LCD HDTV for $246&lt;/b&gt; and a $10 free gift card when you spend $100 or more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Target is hoping to lure this year&#039;s Black Friday shoppers with &lt;b&gt;$3 toasters and coffeemakers,&lt;/b&gt; deep deals on high-definition televisions, and discounts of 50% on clothes and toys, according to a Web site that says it has received a leaked copy of the retailer&#039;s circular.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brad Olson, founder of &lt;b&gt;Gottadeal.com,&lt;/b&gt; a Web site that markets itself as one of many &quot;official&quot; Black Friday deal sites, said Wednesday that he received a copy of the discount retailer&#039;s ad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Olson said Target&#039;s Black Friday &quot;doorbuster&quot; deals, or the extra juicy sales given for a limited time to early shoppers, look very attractive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;These include&lt;/b&gt; a Westinghouse 32-inch LCD HDTV for $246. &quot;The $246 HDTV is the lowest price that we&#039;ve ever seen for that model,&quot; said Olsen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Also in the ad:&lt;/b&gt; $3 Chefmate appliances such as toasters, coffeemakers and sandwich makers; a 40-inch Apex 1080p LCD HDTV for $449 with a $10 gift card; a TomTom GPS for $97; a Garmin GPS for $179; an RCA dual-screen portable DVD player for $88; a $39 Polaroid V 130 Camcorder; 50% off on select toys; and children&#039;s clothing for between $5 to $7.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ad said the merchant is also offering a free gift card worth $10 if you spend $100 or more at its stores from 5 a.m. to noon on Black Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Target&#039;s circular, some of the sales are valid only on Black Friday while others are good through Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Target spokeswoman Sarah Boehle said the company &quot;is unable to confirm the accuracy of any [Black Friday] two-day ads or pricing information that is posted online.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Each year we chronicle lots of excitement about our ads when we hear that they were prematurely leaked,&#039; said Boehle. &quot;We really appreciate all the interest. We encourage consumers to look for our official [Black Friday] ad.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Target is expected to release its weekly circular the week of Nov. 22.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Call your state legislaturs</title>
 <link>http://conservative-sugar.tressugar.com/Call-your-state-legislaturs-7817591</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://conservative-sugar.tressugar.com/Call-your-state-legislaturs-7817591&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;For health-care opponents getting a busy signal when calling the   capitol, Rep. Pete Hoekstra has a message for you: All politics is local, so swamp the phone lines of the state   legislators too. “If the people in Washington aren’t willing to listen, if the  Democrats  aren’t willing to listen, then call your local state elected  officials  and tell them that you’ll hold them personally accountable to  what  Nancy Pelosi is going to do the American people in Washington this   week,” Hoekstra told The Daily Caller of his “Make it Local” idea. Hoekstra has taken to Twitter with a number of Make it Local  messages,  claiming that lines are jammed in part because some Democrats  have  taken their phones off the hook. The busy signals have also been   attributed to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who earlier   this week gave out the capitol switchboard phone number over the   airwaves, encouraging listeners to call in. In one tweet, Hoekstra wrote, “Switchboards clogged or turned off in   DC. Problem? NO Opportunity! Call every state elected D and tell them   how furious you are!” In another, he tweets, “MAKE IT LOCAL. Call D   state reps and state senators. Hold them accountable for what Pelosi is   doing. People loving this idea! Make it work!” Hoekstra said he and other Washington lawmakers devised the idea. “I   was talking to all the other members, we’re taking a look at everything   we can do to try to influence this debate and we thought we had kinda   run out of ideas,” he explained. “And we started hearing that Democrats   were starting to take their phones off the hook and no longer taking   constituent phone calls and we said ‘you know, where else can they   call?’” A number of Tea Party groups are encouraging their activists to go  the  local route too. In an e-mail to supporters last night, Tea Party   Patriots encouraged those who oppose the bill to call and visit the   local district offices of the targeted members of Congress. They also   pushed activists to call state elected officials to “remind them that   they have political influence and you want them to exercise it.” It’s something Hoekstra said is an effective means of putting  pressure  on Democrats. “There’s no doubt that if my state reps’ phones  started  ringing off the hook on a federal issue they would call me and  want me  to know, and say, ‘Hey Pete, you know the people in Michigan are  really  feeling passionate about this.’” Hoekstra, who is running for governor, flew into West Michigan for a   campaign swing on Thursday and plans to be in Detroit on Friday, though   said he’s prepared to fly back to Washington for the vote if called  this  weekend.

 <title>Call your state legislaturs</title>

 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://conservative-salt.tressugar.com/Call-your-state-legislaturs-7817570&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
For health-care opponents getting a busy signal when calling the  capitol, Rep. Pete Hoekstra has a message for you:&lt;br /&gt;
All politics is local, so swamp the phone lines of the state  legislators too.&lt;br /&gt;
“If the people in Washington aren’t willing to listen, if the  Democrats aren’t willing to listen, then call your local state elected  officials and tell them that you’ll hold them personally accountable to  what Nancy Pelosi is going to do the American people in Washington this  week,” Hoekstra told The Daily Caller of his “Make it Local” idea.&lt;br /&gt;
Hoekstra has taken to Twitter with a number of Make it Local  messages, claiming that lines are jammed in part because some Democrats  have taken their phones off the hook. The busy signals have also been  attributed to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who earlier  this week gave out the capitol switchboard phone number over the  airwaves, encouraging listeners to call in.&lt;br /&gt;
In one tweet, Hoekstra wrote, “Switchboards clogged or turned off in  DC. Problem? NO Opportunity! Call every state elected D and tell them  how furious you are!” In another, he tweets, “MAKE IT LOCAL. Call D  state reps and state senators. Hold them accountable for what Pelosi is  doing. People loving this idea! Make it work!”&lt;br /&gt;
Hoekstra said he and other Washington lawmakers devised the idea. “I  was talking to all the other members, we’re taking a look at everything  we can do to try to influence this debate and we thought we had kinda  run out of ideas,” he explained. “And we started hearing that Democrats  were starting to take their phones off the hook and no longer taking  constituent phone calls and we said ‘you know, where else can they  call?’”&lt;br /&gt;
A number of Tea Party groups are encouraging their activists to go  the local route too. In an e-mail to supporters last night, Tea Party  Patriots encouraged those who oppose the bill to call and visit the  local district offices of the targeted members of Congress. They also  pushed activists to call state elected officials to “remind them that  they have political influence and you want them to exercise it.”&lt;br /&gt;
It’s something Hoekstra said is an effective means of putting  pressure on Democrats. “There’s no doubt that if my state reps’ phones  started ringing off the hook on a federal issue they would call me and  want me to know, and say, ‘Hey Pete, you know the people in Michigan are  really feeling passionate about this.’”&lt;br /&gt;
Hoekstra, who is running for governor, flew into West Michigan for a  campaign swing on Thursday and plans to be in Detroit on Friday, though  said he’s prepared to fly back to Washington for the vote if called this  weekend.&lt;br /&gt;
