9 Principles, 12 Values
The 9 Principles
| 1. | America Is Good. |
| 2. | I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life. |
| God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address. | |
| 3. | I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. |
| Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington | |
| 4. | The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government. |
| Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson | |
| 5. | If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. |
| Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson | |
| 6. | I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. |
| Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson | |
| 7. | I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. |
| Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington | |
| 8. | It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. |
| On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington | |
| 9. | The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. |
| Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson |

“In case some one of your brothers becomes poor among you in one of your cities, in your land that Jehovah your God is giving you, you must not harden your heart or be closefisted toward your poor brother. For you should generously open your hand to him and by all means lend him on pledge as much as he needs, which he is in want of… You should by all means give to him, and your heart should not be stingy in your giving to him, because on this account Jehovah your God will bless you in every deed of yours and in every undertaking of yours. For someone poor will never cease to be in the midst of the land. That is why I am commanding you, saying, ‘You should generously open up your hand to your afflicted and poor brother in your land.” (Deut 15:7-11).
“My brothers, what use is it for a man to say he has faith when he does nothing to show it? Can that faith save him? Suppose a brother or a sister is in rags with not enough food for the day, and one of you says, ‘Good luck to you, keep yourselves warm, and have plenty to eat’, but does nothing to supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So with faith; if it does not lead to action, it is in itself a lifeless thing.” (James 2:14-17).
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
THE TIME IS HERE AND NOW……WE MUST BAND TOGETHER TO SAVE OUR PRECIOUS COUNTRY! WE CAN’T DEPEND ON WASHINGTON TO FIX THIS COUNTRY…..THEY CAN’T EVEN BEHAVE LIKE MATURE ADULTS LET ALONE RUN OUR COUNTRY! WHAT’S HAPPENING IS DISGRACEFUL AND I WISH IT WAS SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT’S NOT. THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO EDUCATE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO AWAKEN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SKEPTICAL. THE POWER IS IN OUR HANDS AND IF WE JUST LET IT HAPPEN, WE HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT OURSELVES…..
PLEASE STAND UP, JOIN US AND LET’S TAKE OUR REPUBLIC BACK WHILE WE STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO WIN!
RE: AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS IN CONGRESS, SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE
IN HONOR OF CONSTITUTION DAY – SEPTEMBER 17th
Ladies and Gentlemen,
HAS EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON GONE MAD??? WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE THINK YOU’RE TRYING TO DO TO OUR COUNTRY???
What is it going to take for the EVIL, MANIPULATIVE leaders in Washington to realize that “we the people” aren’t going to back down and just disappear?
NO, WE WON’T LET YOU RUIN OUR COUNTRY AND TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY!!! THE U.S. CONSTITUTION SHALL PREVAIL!
Astro-turf movement my ass!!!!! What is happening here is a true “grass-roots” uprising which keeps getting bigger and bigger as droves of people seem to be waking up from their “bubble” of complacency that they’ve been trapped in for decades…..
BUT GUESS WHAT WASHINGTON???
THE WICKED WASHINGTON BUBBLE IS BURSTING AT THE SEAMS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS (IF NOT MILLIONS) OF AMERICANS ARE POPPING UP EVERYWHERE TO DEMAND OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS AND WE ARE READY, WILLING AND ABLE TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PROTECT OUR BELOVED COUNTRY FROM THE DISGRACEFUL TRANSFORMATIONS BEING PUT INTO PLACE THAT WILL MUTILATE OUR WAY OF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT!!!
WHAT DO YOU THINK OUR FOUNDING-FATHERS FOUGHT SO HARD FOR? I CERTAINLY DON’T THINK THEY WOULD HAVE WANTED THE GOVERNMENT TO
DECIDE WHAT’S BEST FOR THE PEOPLE ON SUCH A GRAND SCALE. THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES, THEIR BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS JUST SO “WE THE PEOPLE” COULD LIVE A LIFE OF FREEDOM IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY. WHEN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION WAS ADOPTED, IT WAS DONE TO LIMIT THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE PROTECTION OF “WE THE PEOPLE”.
SO WHY DO YOU THINK YOU CAN INFRINGE ON OUR LIVES AND WANT TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF IT ALONG THE WAY? IT’S TIME FOR THIS INSANITY TO STOP ONCE AND FOR ALL!
JUST LEAVE US ALONE AND LET US HANDLE OUR CAREER, OUR FAMILY, OUR HEALTH INSURANCE, OUR HOMES, OUR MONEY, OUR CARS, AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE, OUR FAITH AND IDEALS!
YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU WILL SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY AFTER RETIREMENT. NO, YOU MADE SURE OF THAT YEARS AGO AND
BECAUSE OF IT, YOU WILL BE SET FOR LIFE AT OUR EXPENSE. WHY IS IT THAT YOU DON’T RECEIVE SOCIAL SECURITY OR MEDICARE? UNLIKE THE REST OF US, (YOU) OUR CONGRESSMEN, SENATORS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS WILL RECEIVE FULL-PAY AND FULL HEALTH BENEFITS UPON RETIREMENT AND CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THESE BENEFITS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES!!!!
HMMM, IT’S NO WONDER WHY YOU DON’T THINK WE DESERVE A COST-OF-LIVING INCREASE THIS YEAR SINCE IT DOESN’T AFFECT YOU AT ALL.
I’M NOT SAYING ALL POLITICIANS ARE OUT FOR THEMSELVES, THERE ARE STILL A FEW HONEST, SINCERE PEOPLE OUT THERE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE AREN’T ENOUGH “GOOD GUYS” REPRESENTING US TO MAKE SURE OUR RIGHTS AND BEST INTERESTS ARE PROTECTED. THE REPRESENTATIVES THAT ARE STILL WILLING TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION ARE GROSSLY OUTNUMBERED…..SO, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND WE WILL NOT FAULTER IN ACCOMPLISHING THIS TASK.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE ONLY REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON ARE ON OUR SIDE AND WHOMEVER IS NOT, WILL BE VOTED OUT.
YES, “WE THE PEOPLE” DO HAVE THE POWER TO DO THIS. WE CAN AND WILL VOTE WHEN THE TIME COMES. WE CAN AND WILL STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT. LIKE I SAID, THE MOVEMENT IS GETTING BIGGER EACH AND EVERY DAY AND WE WON’T STOP UNTIL WE GET THE JOB DONE. THERE’S A MASSIVE
AMOUNT OF STRENGTH IN NUMBERS, AND IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED, THE NUMBERS ARE GROWING INTO THE MILLIONS.
SO YOU MAY OUTNUMBER US IN WASHINGTON, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, THE NUMBERS WON’T BE ON YOUR SIDE MUCH LONGER. IT’S JUST A MATTER
OF TIME. WE ARE NOT AFRAID ANYMORE. WE CAN ONLY BE PUSHED AROUND SO MUCH AND WE’VE FINALLY HAD ENOUGH!
GET READY, BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT SHOWED UP AT THE WHITE HOUSE ON 9/12/09 IS JUST THE BEGINNING…..
THIS “MOVEMENT” WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND EVOLVE INTO A FORCE THAT WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE — BACKED BY THE RELENTLESS SPIRIT, THE WILL AND THE HEARTS OF “WE THE PEOPLE”…..AND WE WILL CELEBRATE OUR VICTORY WHEN WE RIGHTFULLY TAKE BACK WHAT BELONGS TO US…..OUR BELOVED COUNTRY!!!!
Actually, an unstoppable force would require infinite energy, which does not exist in a finite universe.
